| dc.description.abstract | The aims of the research was to identify the response of growth and production of
sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) to the application of mulch and natural
ZPT moringa leaf extract. This research was conducted at Jalan Bunga Terompet,
Medan Selayang District, Medan, in Januari-Mei 2023. using a split plot design
(RPT) with two treatment factors with three replications. The main plot is the
application of mulch with two treatments without mulch (M0); plastic mulch (M1)
and sub plots concentrations of zpt moringa leaf extract with four treatments
control (E0); concentration 50 ml/L (E1); 75 ml/L (E2); 100 ml/L (E3). Parameters
measured were plant height, stem diameter, fresh weight of stover, dry weight of
stover, seed weight per sampel, seed weight per plot, weight of 1000 seed, panicle
weight and weed biomass. The result showed that the mulching treatment and
interaction between the two treatments had no significant effect on all parameters.
