Abstract

Cabbage is a vegetable plant that now many farmers earn in rural Indonesia and has been one of the prime sources of income for farmers to improve the standard of living. Granting of rice husk mulching of different weight giving real clout against the cabbage plant growth, and using rice husk mulching can also inhibit the growth of weeds and reduce the rate of evaporation so as to reduce the temperature of the ground surface and capable of storing the water higher. It can be seen from the results of observations of the amount of leaves, the leaves of the cabbage and crop, the volume of results of cabbage. The purpose of this research is to know the influence of weight of rice husk and mulch varieties towards growth and crop yield of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.). This study used randomized block design (RBD), which consisted of two factors; the treatment was repeated three times. So have 27 in wall unit experiment. The results of this experiment showed the weight of rice husk mulching effect real against the number of leaves, broad leaves and cabbage crop volume. But rice husk mulching does not affect the yield per acre crop of cabbage.
