Abstract

Glutinous corn (Waxy corn) Zea mays ceratina L.) is one of the cereal commodities that has the potential as a source of main food ingredients other than rice and soybeans in Indonesia. and land ownership by farmers is decreasing. One alternative is a planting pattern with an intercropping system and determining the right spacing. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of different spacing of glutinous corn with a combination of planting rows of peanuts on production yields in an intercropping system. The research was carried out at the Jatimulyo Experimental Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya, from september to december 2020. The study used a randomized block design with 6 treatments and 4 replications. Data analysis using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and testing using F table 5% level. If there is a significant effect, then it is continued with the Smallest Significant Difference (BNT) test. The results of this study showed that the JT4 treatment (20x105 cm with 3 rows of peanuts) on corn and peanuts gave the best response for all parameters of yield observations, However, in observing the yield of seeds/harvest plots and yields of ton ha-1, then the JT2 treatment (20x85 cm with 2 rows of beans) gave a higher effect on corn plants. This was because the population was higher when the spacing of the plants was closer. while the lowest conversion results to tons ha-1 were obtained in the JT6 treatment (20x125 cm with 4 rows of nuts).
