RESPON JENIS JAHE (Zingiber officinale) TERHADAP PEMBERIAN BERBAGAI DOSIS PUPUK NPK PADA POLIKULTUR DENGAN JAGUNG MANIS (Zea mays saccharata Sturt)
Polyculture is a cultivation method that involves growing two types of crops simultaneously on the same land to improve land-use efficiency and crop yield. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt) are two crops with high economic value that can grow well in a polyculture system. The success of this cultivation system largely depends on the availability of sufficient and balanced nutrients. One effort to meet plant nutrient requirements is through the application of NPK fertilizer, which contains essential macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) that play important roles in plant growth. This research was conducted at the Agricultural Field, Indralaya Utara District, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, from September to December 2025. The method used was a Split Plot Design, with the main plot consisting of ginger types, namely red ginger and emprit ginger, while the subplot consisted of randomized NPK fertilizer dosages of 100 kg/ha, 200 kg/ha, and 300 kg/ha. The experiment was repeated three times, resulting in 18 plots as experimental units. The total number of plants used in this study was 216 sweet corn plants and 288 ginger plants, with a total of 504 plants. The application of NPK 16-16-16 fertilizer at a dosage of 200 kg/ha showed relatively better growth responses compared to other dosages. Keywords : Ginger, NPK Fertilizer, Polyculture, Sweet Corn
