Abstract

Beneficial microorganisms are found in biofertilizers, which can assist in boosting the soil's availability of N, P, and K and promote plant growth. This study aims to ascertain the impact and optimal combination of biofertilizer and N, P, K fertilizers for sweet corn yields, total bacteria, humic acid, and C-organic yields. With 1 control treatment, 2 doses of N, P, K fertilizer, and 6 combinations of N, P, K fertilizer and biofertilizer, the method used Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD). Three times each, the treatment was given. The findings indicated that biofertilizer and N, P, K fertilizer significantly differed with control treatment in organic C, total bacteria, humic acid, and sweet corn yields. Combining biofertilizer with N, P, and K fertilizer increased organic C, total bacteria, and humic acid by 1.08%, 124.67x107, and 2.74%, respectively. With a dose of 1 liquid biofertilizer and ¾ N, P, K fertilizers, sweet corn can be grown up to 11,80 kg plot-1, a 59% increase over the suggested amount of N, P, K fertilizer. The result of this study showed that the best yields of organic C, total bacteria, humic acid, and sweet corn were obtained with a dose of ¾ N, P, K and 1 biofertilizer, ¾ N, P, K and 1 ½ biofertilizer, and 1 N, P, K and 1 ½ biofertilizer.
