ABSTRACT
This study aimed to determine the growth and production of irrigated lowland rice by using different doses of phosphorus fertilizer. This research was conducted in the form of a 2-factor factorial experiment which was compiled based on a Randomized Block Design (RBD) With the following treatment arrangements: f0 without the use of SP36 (control), f1 SP36 30 kg / ha, f2 SP36 60 kg / ha, f3 SP36 90 kg / ha, f4 SP36 120 kg / ha, f5 SP36 150 kg / ha, f6 SP36 180 kg / ha and f7 SP36 210 kg / ha. The study was conducted with 8 treatments that were repeated 3 times so that there were 24 observation units. The results of this research were, the giving phosphorus fertilizer did not have a significant effect on plant height, number of productive tillers, number of grain / panicle and weight / 1000 seeds. Giving a dose of 180 kg / ha of phosphorus fertilizer could reduce the number of empty seeds / panicles in rice plants. Giving a dose of phosphorus fertilizer of 150 kg / ha could increase the dry weight of the harvest / plot and the dry weight of the harvest / ha of rice plants.

At this time, the rice productivity achieved by farmers tends to be sloping. The addition of farm inputs tends to be unbalanced with the produced output. The use of production technology packages which do not consider aspects of land carrying capacity is one of the causes of the limited increase in agricultural production so far. Based on BPS data, 2018 national rice production for the last 5 years were 70,846,000 (2014), 75,398,000 (2015), 79,355,000 (2016), 81,149,000 (2017), 83,037,000 (2018). This data showed that the rice production was slowing down and can threaten national food security, given the level of food demand that tends to increase along with population growth. In future, the quality of food which is free from various chemical residues become theown challenge in meeting food needs. The real challenge for agricultural development in the future is the decreasing carrying capacity of land caused by reduced level of soil fertility and high levels of residual organic matter and chemical substances. Excessive land degradation due to continuous tillage resulting in decreased agricultural production Adimihardja (2008).
Fertilization is one component of technology that still plays an important role in increasing crop productivity especially for rice. The use of inorganic fertilizers is a must considering the condition of agricultural lands which are getting poorer in nutrients in the soil. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the land is expected to produce maximum food production. Sugiatmoet. al.., (2001) stated that the use of organic and inorganic fertilizers with the correct
dosage and balance can increase the availability of nutrients in the soil which will help increase rice production optimally.
Fertilizer as a means of production for rice cultivation plays a very important role in increasing the productivity of lowland rice fields. The use of inorganic fertilizers which carried out by farmers based on recommendations from the agricultural office tends to increase from year to year; this is due to the increasing intensity of planting and the high response of rice plants to fertilization. The high use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides has had a negative impact on the residual capacity of active materials in crops and land.
Phosphorus is a macro nutrient needed by plants and it is essential and there is no element that can replace its role in plants. Plants must require a sufficient amount of elemental phosphorus for normal growth while the function of phosphorus in plants is in the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, energy transfer and storage, cell division and enlargement and other processes in plants Salisbury and Ross, (1995).
Phosphorus plays an important role in most enzyme reactions that depend on phosphorylase because phosphorus is part of the cell nucleus, so it is important in cell division and also for the development of meristem tissue. Thus, phosphorus can stimulate the growth of young plant roots, accelerate flowering and ripening of fruit, seeds or grain Zubaidah, Y and Munir, R., (2007).
The use of phosphorus by farmers has been quite high, whether given in the form of a single fertilizer, namely SP36 or in a compound form in the form of NPK, this is done because Phosphorus is very useful for plants considering it functions to stimulate root growth, especially in the early stages of growth, accelerate flowering, ripen seeds and fruit. If the plant is deficient in phosphorus, the phosphorus elements present in the old tissue will be mobilized to the young tissue, so that in the old tissue will be deficient first, as well as when the plant has entered the generative phase (maturity). Meanwhile, on the other hand, the use of high phosphorus will inhibit the absorption of other nutrients, especially micro nutrients such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), affect fruit quality and the accumulation of large amounts of phosphorus in the soil. Based on the description above, research was carried out to assess the growth and production of irrigated lowland rice at various different dosages of phosphorus fertilizer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS OF RESEARCH
This research was conducted at a technical irrigation rice field location in the Benteng Sawitto village, Paleteang district, Pinrang Regency. Lasts from May to September 2019.
The materials used were Inpari 42 rice seeds, Urea fertilizer, SP36, KCl, and Carbofuran Insecticide. While the tools used werehand tractors, hoes, machetes, buckets, hands prayers, scales, gauges, documentation tools and writing instruments.
This research was conducted in the form of a factorial experiment which was arranged based on a randomized block design (RBD). With the following treatment arrangements:
• F0 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 0 NPK 150 kg, 1 ton of manure, 2 tons of straw/ha;
• f1 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 30 NPK 150 kg, 1 ton of manure, 2 tons of straw/ha;
• f2 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 60 NPK 150 kg, 1 ton of manure, 2 tons of straw /ha;
• f3 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 90 NPK 150 kg, 1 ton of manure, 2 tons of straw/ ha;
• f4 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 120 kg, NPK 150 kg, 1 ton of manure,2 tons of straw /ha;
• f5 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 150 kg, NPK 150 kg / ha (regional recommendation);
• f6 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 180 kg, NPK 150 kg, 1 ton of manure, 2 tons of straw /ha;
• f7 = Urea 250 kg, SP36 210 kg, NPK 150 kg, 1 ton of manure, 2 tons of straw/ ha.
The study was conducted with 8 treatments that were repeated 3 times so that there
were 24 observation units.
The seeds used were the Impari42 variety, where the nursery was done around the planting area, and then the soil was processed for the nursery preparation.
Soil processing was carried out before planting using a tractor. This was done to cultivate and flip the soil and then destroy the chunks of soil to form a mud structure and then make a plot or plot.
The area of the plot was made 3 x 3 m, between the plots a small bund was made so that water from one plot and the other did not flow to one another.
Planting was carried out by planting seeds directly with the paralon system which previously had the seeds soaked for 12 hours, then planting with a spacing of 20 x 20 cm.
Fertilization of straw organic matter and manure were given earlier during soil cultivation then SP36 1/2 parts. Furthermore, the second fertilization was carried out when the plants were 2 weeks after planting by giving 1/2 parts of urea, SP26 and NPK. Furthermore, the third fertilization was carried out when the plants were 4 - 5 weeks after planting by giving 1/2 parts of urea and NPK.
Maintenance processes were included: embroidery, weeding, water management and pest and disease control.
Observation Parameters: Plant height (cm) was observed when panicles were appeared; Number of productive tillers; The number of grains per panicle; Grain weight per 1000 seeds; Percentage of empty grain; Yields of harvested dry grain per plot; Yields of harvested dry grain tons per ha.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results of observations of plant height at the appearance of panicle and its variability are presented in the Appendix 1 and 2. The analysis of variance showed that the dose of phosphorus treatment had no significant effect on plant height at the appearance of rice panicles.
