Abstract

Sweet corn is much love by users because of its sweet taste. ‘Bonanza’ is one of sweetcorn that was cultivated by Madura farmers. This research objective was to determine the dry matter and nitrogen accumulation ‘Bonanza’ under salt stress. ‘Bonanza’ corn was planted in polybags containing 1:1 soil and sand media using a completely randomized design, then watered with salt content of 0, 100 and200 mMevery 2 weeks. Each treatment was repeated 8 times. Parameters observed were total plant weight, weight of plant parts (roots, stems, leaves, tassels, clumps, and seeds), percentage weight of plant parts, crown/root ratio, and total nitrogen content in roots, stems, leaves and seeds. . The data obtained were tested using one way anova and posthoct LSDSPSS24. As a result, salt stress generally reduced the total weight and plant parts. Salt stress increased dry weight accumulation in leaves and stems and decreased it in cobs and seeds. Total nitrogen content in stem and leaves also increased in salt stress but decreased in seeds.
