Respon Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Tanaman Kacang Tanah (Arachis hypogaea L.) terhadap Pemberian Pupuk Kandang Ayam dan Jarak Tanam

The research aimed to determine the growth and yield responses of peanut plants to the application of chicken manure and plant spacing, as well as the interactions. The research was conducted from July to October in Libuo Village, Dungingi Subdistrict, Gorontalo City. It employed a factorial randomized block design (RNB) consisting of two factors with three replications. The first factor was chicken manure consisting of three levels: without manure (control), 15 tons/ha, and 30 tons/ha. The second factors was the plant spacing comprising two levels, namely 30 cm x 20 cm and 40 cm x 30cm. The findings denoted that chicken manure treatment affected plant height, number of leaves, 100-seed weight, and pod weight per plot. At the same time, the plant spacing treatment affected plant height and number of leaves. There was an interaction between the application of chicken manure and the plant spacing on the number pf pods per plant. The best treatment combination was the treatment of chicken manure of 15 tons/ha and a plant spacing of 30 cm x 20 cm
