Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of phosphate fertilizers and planting systems on plant height,
shoot/root ratio, and root length. The experiment has been conducted at Experimental Station and
Training Center for Agriculture Development, Padjadjaran University at Jelekong distric, Bandung
Regency, West Java, at 628 m above sea level, from May 2012 until August 2012. It was arranged in
Factorial Design with three replications. The first factor was planting system (conventional, legowo 2:1 ,
and twin seedling ) and the second factor was phosphate fertilizer (0 kg ha-1 ; 25 kg ha-1; 50 kg ha-1; 75
kg ha-1; and 100 kg ha-1).The experimental results has indicated that there are no interaction on
shoot/root ratio and root length, but there was an independent effect on plant height in twin seedling
system.
