ABSTRACTResposse of Growth and Yields of Jobs Tears to Row Spacing and Liquid Complement FertilizerJob’s tears (Coix laeryama-jobi L.) are a functional food crop in West Java Indonesia. It is rich of nutritions when used as food and also rich of essential chemicals when used as herbal. It can grow on marginal ecosystem, tolerance to water stress’s environment. However, Job’s tears are low in grain production. The problem could be overcome by treatment of row spacing and liquid complement fertilizers to increase the plants growth and yields. This study used three levels of row spacing (50 x 50 cm, 75 x 50 cm, and 100 x 50 cm) and three levels of liquid complement fertilizers (2 ml/l, 4 ml/l, and 6 ml/l) to examine the growth and yields of jobs tears. The experiment used Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisted of nine treatments and three replications. The experiment was conducted at Sukasari Sumedang West Java. Growth and yield indicators such as leaf area index, percentage of huskering and harvesting index were observed. The results showed that the treatments of row spacing and liquid complement fertilizer had significantly affected the leaf area index, percentage of huskering and Job’s tears harvesting index. The combination of plant spacing at 50 x 50 cm with the concentration of liquid complement fertilizer at level 2 ml/l showed the best effect to the jobs tears yield. It resulted the weight of seeds of 4.77 kg/ plot and the weight of seed was 5.96 tons/ha. This indicated that the row spacing and liquid complement fertilizer had significantly affecting the Job’s tears yield.Keywords: Job’s tears, Row spacing, Liquid complement fertilizer, Growth, YieldsABSTRAKTanaman hanjeli merupakan tanaman pangan fungsional di Jawa Barat Indonesia. Tanaman hanjeli sangat kaya nutrisi sebagai sumber makanan dan kaya bahan kimia penting sebagai tanaman herbal. Tanaman tersebut dapat tumbuh pada lahan marjinal dan toleran terhadap cekaman air, namun demikian hasilnya masih rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perlakuan jarak tanam dan pemberian pupuk pelengkap cair terhadap peningkatan pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman hanjeli. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga level jarak tanam (50x50 cm, 75x50 cm, dan 100x50 cm) dan tiga level konsentrasi pupuk pelengkap cair (PPC) (2 ml/l, 4 ml/l, dan 6 ml/l) sebagai perlakuan. Percobaan di lapangan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang terdiri dari 9 perlakuan dan tiga kali ulangan yang dilaksanakan di Sukasari Sumedang Jawa Barat. Data yang diamati adalah komponen pertumbuhan dan hasil tanam hanjeli. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi jarak tanam dengan aplikasi pupuk pelengkap cair memberikan pengaruh terhadap indeks luas daun, rendemen pecah kulit, dan indeks panen. Kombinasi jarak tanam 50 x 50 dengan konsentrasi PPC 2 ml/l memberikan pengaruh terbaik terhadap hasil tanaman hanjeli. Perlakuan tersebut menghasilkan bobot biji per petak sebesar 4,77 kg per petak dan bobot biji per hektar sebesar 5,96 ton per hektar. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa jarak tanam dan pupuk pelengkap cair memberikan pengaruh yang baik terhadap hasil tanaman hanjeli.Kata Kunci : Hanjeli, Jarak tanam, Pupuk pelengkap cair, Pertumbuhan, Hasil
