Abstract
The use of a zero-till cultivation system on
the same land successively causes the soil structure to become increasingly
dense, which will have an impact on plant growth and yield, thus requiring
different weeding. This research aims to determine the effect of the
interaction of planting and weeding frequency in a zero tillage system on the
growth and yield of lowland rice. The experiment was carried out from 2020 to
2022, in Cinunuk village, Wanaraja District, Garut Regency, Indonesia. The
first factor is the frequency of planting in the zero tillage system (M),
namely; m1 (first season planting carried out from May to September 2020), m2
(second season planting November 2020 to April 2021) and m3 (third season
planting carried out September 2021 to January 2022). The second factor is
weeding frequency (P), namely; p0 without weeding, p1 weeding once at 40 DAP,
p2 weeding twice at 40 and 60 DAP, and p3 weeding 3 times at 20, 40 and 60 DAP.
The parameters observed include; plant height, number of tillers per clump,
number of panicles per clump and panicle length. The data obtained was then
tested using the ANOVA test. The results of the research show that the
frequency of planting lowland rice in a zero tillage system interacts with the
frequency of leafing on the growth and yield of lowland rice plants. The
combination of season 2 planting frequency with no weeding had the best
influence on the number of tillers and the combination of season 1 planting
frequency with no weeding had the best influence on the number of panicles.
