Fac. of Agriculture, Andalas University. Five treatments were used with three replications and each arranged in Randomized Block Design. The treatments were several dosages of rice straw ashes namely: no rice straw ashes: 13.5 gram rice straw ashes/plant equal to 600 kg/ha (26.75 kg K2O/ha); 27 gram rice straw ashes/plant equal to 1200 kg/ha (53,51 kg K2O/ha); 40,5 gram rice straw ashes/plant equal to 1800 kg/ha (80.26 K2O/ha); and 54 gram rice straw ashes/plant equal to 2400 kg/ha (107,02 kg K2O/ha). Result of the experiment showed that various dosage s of rice straw ashes gave significantly different effect on the growth and tuber yield of sweet potato plant.
