Abstract

Saline soil is one of the main obstacles in food crop cultivation because it reduces productivity. This study aims to analyze the effect of Biocon-NP biofertilizer and Azolla microphylla compost on mung bean (Vigna radiata) growth in saline soil. The study used a two-factor Randomized Group Design with 12 treatment combinations and 3 replications, total of 36 experimental units. The treatment factors included the dose of Azolla microphylla compost (0, 40, and 80 g) and the dose of Biocon-NP biofertilizer (0, 100, 125, and 150 ml). Parameters observed included plant height, number of leaves, number of primary branches, flowering age, plant biomass, root nodule biomass, and number of pods. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Duncan's further test. The results showed that the treatment interaction had a significant effect on all parameters except the number of primary branches and flowering age. The best treatment recommendation was the combination of Biocon-NP 150 ml and Azolla microphylla compost 80 g.
