Rosazlin Abdullah, . and Wan Rasidah Kadir, . and Rozita Ahmad, . (2005) The effect of JPSE seaweed based fertilizer on the growth performance of Zea mays. [Proceedings Paper]

A study was conducted to investigate the potential of JPSE fertilizer on the growth performance and nutrients content of sweet corn Zea mays compared to conventional farming. Jindalai Plant Sports Elite JPSE is an organic fertilizer developed by the North Koreans for organic farming produced from seaweed. Results for the dry matter yield showed significant effect of JPSE fertilizer over the intensive farming which is based on fertilizer recommendation by the Agriculture Department Malaysia. Leaf macronutrient that is N P K contents increased significantly in JPSE fertilizer treated plants. The micronutrients showed significant difference for Zn and Cu with JPSE treatment. Though the concentrations of Ca Mg Fe and Mn are not significantly difference between both treatments there are increasing trend in these nutrients with JPSE treatment. From these results we found that application of JPSE fertilizer led to improved growth performance and nutrient uptake by sweet corn and we foresee that JPSE has the potential for improving yield of medicinal and herbal plants.

Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the potential of JPSE fertilizer on the growth performance and nutrients content of sweet corn Zea mays compared to conventional farming. Jindalai Plant Sports Elite JPSE is an organic fertilizer developed by the North Koreans for organic farming produced from seaweed. Results for the dry matter yield showed significant effect of JPSE fertilizer over the intensive farming which is based on fertilizer recommendation by the Agriculture Department Malaysia. Leaf macronutrient that is N P K contents increased significantly in JPSE fertilizer treated plants. The micronutrients showed significant difference for Zn and Cu with JPSE treatment. Though the concentrations of Ca Mg Fe and Mn are not significantly difference between both treatments there are increasing trend in these nutrients with JPSE treatment. From these results we found that application of JPSE fertilizer led to improved growth performance and nutrient uptake by sweet corn and we foresee that JPSE has the potential for improving yield of medicinal and herbal plants.
