Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrients for plant growth and development. The content of phosphorus in the soil is very low and it is bound by soil colloids which made phosphorus can not be absorbed by crops. Biological fertilizer production requires carrier media to improve the viability of the bacteria. This study aimed to determine the combination of phosphate solubilizing bacteria carrier on plant growth of Arachis hypogea.The method used in the study were the cultivation of Bacillus sp, production of biofertilizer to phosphate solubilizing bacteria, the calculation of TPC (Total Plate Count), cultivation of Arachis hypogeaand measurement of plant growth parameters. Data analyzed using ANOVA, if there was a significant difference then continued to Duncan test at 95% significance level. The result of this research showed there was no significance influence of carrier media to growth parameter of crops length, leaves number, leaves width, roots length, stem diameters, and dry weight. Therefore, there was significance influenceof carrier media to number of flower.
