Abstract

One of the areas in East Java as a central producer of peanuts is Petong region, Tanah Merah, Bangkalan, Madura. So far, the community in improving the growth of plants tend to use chemical fertilizers. The fertilizer has side effects that are not good for the soil conditions. On the other hand, mycorrhiza Madura has a high diversity (Nurhidayati et al., 2010). Mycorrhiza can be utilized as biofertilizer which has a function as an environmentally friendly fertilizer. In addition, it also has potential as biofertilizer rhizobium. Peanuts including legumes that can interact with Rhizobium and mycorrhizae. The application of rhizobium and mycorrhiza, is expected to occur tripartite beneficial symbiosis. This study aims to determine the growth of peanut plants by the application of indigenous mycorrhiza (Glomus sp. and Gigaspora sp.). The village of Tanah Merah Petong subdistrict Bangkalan and Rhizobium. The study design used a completely randomized design. The data obtained was tested by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), if it was significantly affected it continued using the Dunnet test. The result showed application of mycorrhiza and rhizobium increases plant height and plant dry weight and application of inoculant mycorrhiza indigenous be single or double and mycorrhiza mycofer increase the percent of infection mycorrhiza.
