Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of oil palm frond compost on the productivity of Pakchong grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Thailand) as livestock feed. The research was conducted at the UPTD-PPT IB Livestock and Animal Health Service of Bengkulu Province from July 2024 to April 2025 using a Randomized block design (RBD) with four treatments and three replications. The treatments included T0 (control), T1 (10 tons/ha), T2 (20 tons/ha), and T3 (30 tons/ha). The observed parameters included plant height, leaf width, stem diameter, and number of tillers. The results showed that compost application did not significantly affect plant growth at the first harvest. However, significant improvements were observed during the second harvest, indicating the increased effectiveness of the compost following optimal decomposition. The highest productivity was achieved with the P3 treatment (30 tons/ ha), yielding a plant height of 620.7 cm, a stem diameter of 57.42 mm, a leaf width of 10.77 cm, and an average of five tillers per clump. The findings indicate that, although no statistically significant effect was observed, the application of oil palm compost tended to improve the vegetative growth of Pakchong grass at the second harvest.
