Abstract


This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of NPK Mutiara (16-16-16) fertilizer dosage, Azolla liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) concentration, and their interaction on the growth and yield of sweet waxy corn (Zea mays L. var. ceratina) Kumala F1 variety. The experiment was conducted in Panga' Batupiak, Kesu' Urban Village, North Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi, from March to May 2026, using a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The first factor was NPK Mutiara dosage (0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 g plant⁻¹), and the second factor was Azolla LOF concentration (20%, 40%, and 60%). The observed variables included plant height and number of leaves at 21, 28, and 38 days after planting (DAP), ear diameter, ear length, and ear weight per plot. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and further tested with the Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test at the 5% level. The results showed that NPK Mutiara, Azolla LOF, and their interaction had highly significant effects on all observed variables. The combination of 4.5 g plant⁻¹ NPK Mutiara and 40% Azolla LOF (M3A2) was the most effective treatment, producing the highest plant height (92.07 cm), number of leaves (20.10 leaves), ear diameter (5.90 cm), ear length (18.67 cm), and ear weight per plot (1.87 kg, equivalent to 8.90 t ha⁻¹), with a relative effectiveness increase of 29.7-103.9% over plants without NPK fertilization. Azolla LOF concentrations above 40% did not further increase growth and yield.
