EFFECT OF PLANTING DISTANCE AND GIVING PHOSPHATE FERTILIZER ON PRODUCTION OF BENGKOANG PLANTS (Pachyrhits run Z) Abstract The objective of the research was to provide the planting media composition in onder to promote the growth and production of Pachyrhizus eros I. as much as possible Therefore, an alternative was needed in modifying the composition of the planting media of Pachyrhi crona L by using the composition of planting spacing and providing mulch was thought to be able to optimize and maximize the growth and production of the plants. This was done to find out the effect of treatment on the increase of the plants. This research was conducted from August to December 2021, in the research area of Faculty of Agriculture, University of Borneo Tarakan, (LBT), located in Taralan City, North Kalimantan This research sed Group Random Design (RAK) with 2 factors The first factor, Planting distance ( consisted of 3 treatments namely J1 (20 cm x 20 cm), 12 (20 cm x 25 cm) and 13 (20 cm x 30 cm) The second factor, phosphate fertilizer (P), consisted of 3 treatments namely P1 (591 gl. P2 (7.91 g) and P3 (10.91 g) After the research data was obtained, data analysis was done by using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) with a level of 5% and if the F valoe showed a real effect, Duncan's Mutiple Range Test (DMRT) was done at 5% This study utilized multivariate ANOVA with a significance level of 5% and was conducted using SPSS 10 determine the impact of the treatment. If there was a difference, Duncan's Test or DMRT were used to further ascertain the distinction between the treatments. It was concluded that phosphate fertilizer treatment, planting distance treatment and the interaction between the two had a significant effect on the number of pods, the umber of scods, the number of tubers, the weight of tubers per sample, and the diameter of tubery per sample Se that the wider the planting distance, tends to the woight of tubers per sample, the weight of tubers per plot, the circunference of tubers The best dose of phosphate fertilizer for the production of tuber weight was 7.97 gplant, and the best planting distance was 20 x 30 cm between the plants Keymonds Bengkung Plant across 2, Planting Distance, Phosphate, Production
