Abstract

Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are a nutritious and economically valuable food crop; however, their productivity in Indonesia, including the Nias Islands, remains low, necessitating proper soil fertility management and the provision of appropriate nutrients. This study aimed to determine the effects of pig manure and compound NPK fertilizer, as well as their interaction, on the growth and yield of peanuts in Siwalubanua II Village, Gunungsitoli Idanoi District. The study employed a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with two factors: pig manure treatments K0 (no fertilizer), K1 (3 kg/plot), K2 (4 kg/plot), and K3 (5 kg/plot), as well as NPK 16:16:16: N0 (no fertilizer), N1 (22 g/m²/application), and N2 (32 g/m²/application), with three replicates. The observed parameters included plant height, number of branches, flowering age, number of pods per sample, fresh weight of pods per sample, and fresh weight of pods per plot. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and the BNJ test at the 5% level. The results showed that pig manure and NPK 16:16:16 produced different responses for each parameter. K3 (5 kg/plot) yielded the highest values for plant height at 2–3 MST, number of branches at 2 and 5 MST, earlier flowering, and fresh pod weight per sample. K2 (4 kg/plot) produced the highest plant height at 4–5 MST, the highest number of branches at 3–4 MST, the highest number of pods per sample, and the highest fresh pod weight per plot. N2 (32 g/m²) produced the highest numerical values for most parameters. The interaction between the two factors did not have a significant effect in some early observations but began to have a significant to highly significant effect in subsequent observations and on several yield components. The K3N2 combination produced the highest numerical values for several parameters but was not always significantly different from other treatment combinations based on the 5% BNJ test.
