  • Abstract
    Chinese mustard (Brassica juncea L) was grown on Andisol Soil with low pH (5.1), very low total N 0.67 %, medium P2O5 concentration (7.0 ppm), and very high K content (134.8 ppm) to evaluate the best concentration of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) from city waste on reduce urea application. Eleven urea and liquid organic fertilizer combination (1 = 100 % Urea + 0 LOF, 2 = 100 % Urea + 25 ml l-1 LOF, 3 = 75 % Urea + 25 ml l-1 LOF, 4 = 50 % Urea + 25 ml l-1 LOF, 5 = 100 % Urea + 50 ml l-1 LOF, 6 = 75 % Urea + 50 ml l-1 LOF, 7 = 50 % Urea + 50 ml l-1 LOF, 8 = 100 % Urea + 75 ml l-1 LOF, 9 = 75 % Urea + 75 ml l-1 LOF, 10 = 50 % Urea + 75 ml l-1 LOF, and 11 = 0 % Urea + 50 ml l-1 LOF) were arranged in a randomized completely block design with three replications. The results showed that combination of liquid organic fertilizer and urea increased Chinese mustard growth and yield in low N soil. The best treatment is the combination of 50 % Urea + 75 ml-1 but not significantly different than others combination. Liquid organic fertilizers from city waste reduce 50 % Urea application, and 25 ml l-1 concentration of LOF is efficient on Chinese mustard cultivation as an alternative nutrition source.
