The Effect of Fertilization on Plant Productivity and The Difference of Drying Methods to the Physical-Chemical Quality of Hay Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) Anita Mustika 15/379746/PT/06943 ABSTRACT The objectived of this research was to ascertain the effect of increasing of Cocopeat fertilizer and to ascertain the optimum quality based on drying method of alfalfa hay plant (Medicago sativa L.). to the productivity, physical quality and chemical composition. This research has been done in Laboratory of forage and Pasture and Laboratory of Biochemistry Nutrition. The data were tested analysis mean differences were analyzed with Duncans New Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The effect factor of fertilizer was observed every 2 days by measuring plant length. Hay drying method consists of 3 methods, that were Drying directly under the sun exposure, drying in a greens house by placing alfalfa plants which were expanded of surface area and cover it by tarps to avoid the sun exposure directly, and drying it by oven about 55C. The result showed that the fertilizer was effected to increase the alfalfa plants productivity which was showed by increase in plant height and weight of production, hay drying process was influenced on the chemical composition of alfalfa plants (Medicago sativa L) directly. The Drying method was significant affected on chemical composition of alfalfa hay plant. The direct drying process reduced crude fat content, and increasing crude fiber content. The Direct drying process and the indirect drying process that was exposed to sunlight allows it to be applied by community or farmer. Keywords: Chemical composition, drying method, Medicago sativa L, fertilizer, temperature.
