Penggunaan Pupuk Terpadu Pembibitan Padi Dalam Pendekatan Ramah Lingkungan

Abstract

Rice seedling cultivation is a crucial initial stage that determines the overall success of rice production. The application of integrated fertilizers, which combine organic and inorganic nutrient sources in a balanced manner, is one approach to improving seedling quality without placing excessive pressure on the environment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated fertilizer use during the rice seedling phase by examining early plant growth and fertilizer-use efficiency within an environmentally friendly framework. The findings indicate that a combination of organic fertilizers and low doses of chemical fertilizers can improve the structure of the nursery medium, enhance nutrient availability, and promote healthier seedling growth. This research supports more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Overall, the results show that the use of integrated fertilizers in rice seedling cultivation can serve as an eco-friendly and effective strategy for improving agricultural productivity.
