This study aims to determine the effect of organic fertilizer and urea fertilizer on growth,
yield, and quality of sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata) and soil health. The research
was conducted in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia in December 2016 until March 2017. This
research was designed using a randomized factorial block design 2 x 4 with three
replications. The arrangement of treatments are as follows: The first treatment was
organic fertilizer (poultry manure that has been composted and combined with BiomaxGrow biofertilizer) consisting of 2 levels that are, 0 and 15 ton ha-1. The second treatment
was the dosage of urea fertilizer consisted of 0, 150, 300 and 450 kg ha-1. The results
showed that application of integrated use of organic fertilizer and urea fertilizer would
decrease the use of urea and be recommended for sweet corn cultivation. Organic
fertilizer gives a better postharvest quality of sweet corn and a better soil health with
respect to soil respiration as well as fungi and bacterial population.
