Peningkatan Produktivitas Dan Mutu Benih Kedelai (Glycine Max (L.) Merril) Dengan Peningkatan Kesuburan Tanah. The Improvement of Productivity and Soybean Seeds Quality (Glycine Max (L.) Merril) with Increasing Fertility of Soil. Supervised by: Dr. Ir. Nurul Sjamsijah, MP. Muhammad Wahyu Azanudin Seed Production Technology Study Program Agricultural Production Department ABSTRACT One of the way to improve the productivity and the quality of soybean seed (Glycine Max (L.) Merril) is through land cultivation improvement – by applying land cultivation and by adding organic mulch. The research is to identify the impact of applying land cultivation and that of adding organic mulch. In addition, the research is to identify the best treatment to improve increase the productivity. The research was conducted on July to October 2017 on the Experimental Field at Gg Kepodang, Kreongan Village, Patrang Sub-District, Jember regency. The research employed the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) Factorial with 9 (nine) different treatments which were T0M0 : implementing no land cultivation and adding no organic mulch, T0M1 : implementing no land cultivation and adding organic mulch (rice straw mulch), T0M2 : implementing no land cultivation and adding organic mulch (rice husk mulch), T1M0 : implementing land cultivation sufficiently and adding no organic mulch, T1M1 : implementing land cultivation sufficiently and adding organic mulch (rice straw mulch), T1M2 : implementing land cultivation sufficiently and adding organic mulch (rice husk mulch), T2M0 : implementing land cultivation well and adding no organic mulch, T2M1 : implementing land cultivation well and adding organic mulch (rice straw mulch), T2M2 : implementing land cultivation well and adding organic mulch (rice husk mulch) and 3 repetition. The result shows that implementing land cultivation sufficiently and adding rice straw mulch significantly improve the height, leave, the number of pod, weight of 100 seeds, the result on each plot and each Ha. The treatment which implemented land cultivation method sufficiently and added organic mulch (rice straw mulch) leaded to produce 4.24 ton/Ha of soy bean seed. It is better than that of no land cultivation method and no organic mulch which produced only 2.74 ton/Ha of soy bean seed. Keywords : land cultivation method, organic mulch, soy bean, productivity and seed quality.
