Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of dolomite fertilizer and cow
pen application on the growth and production of mung beans (Vigna radiata L.).
The study was conducted using a quantitative method with a Group Randomized
Design (RAK), including three dolomite dose treatments: no dolomite (d0), 1
kg/plot (d1), and 2 kg/plot (d2). The research was carried out in the
experimental land of the Faculty of Agriculture UPMI in May-August 2021. The
results showed that the application of dolomite had a significant effect on
plant height at 4 weeks after planting (MST), with d2 treatment producing the
highest height. However, no significant influence was found on other parameters
such as the number of leaves, the number of pods, the weight of seeds per plot,
the weight of 100 grains, and the length of the roots. This suggests that
dolomite is more effective in supporting plant early growth through increased
soil pH and nutrient availability, but does not directly increase crop yields.
Therefore, the use of dolomite needs to be combined with other agronomic
strategies to optimize mung bean production in acidic land.
