Physical Quality of Rice Straw Ammonia Using Different Levels of Urea
Keywords:
Ammonia, Physical quality, Rice straw, UreaAbstract
This research aims to determine the effect of the use of urea with different levels on the physical quality of rice straw ammonia. The method used is a complete random design (CRD). The treatment consisted of 5 treatments with three replicates, namely P0: Urea 0%; P1: Urea 2%; P2: Urea 4%; P3: urea 6% and P4: Urea 8%. The parameters observed were physical quality (color, smell, texture) and pH. The results showed that the difference in the level of urea use had a real effect (P<0.05) on all parameters, namely color, smell, texture and pH. The treatment that provides the best physical quality is the P2 treatment with a urea level of 4%.
