Abstract:
The demand for shallots increases every year, but the production of shallots decreases every
year. The factor that influences the production of shallots is fertilization. Shallots need fertilizer
and sufficient nutrients to increase growth and production. This research method uses factorial
randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 2 factors, 16 combinations, and 2 replications. The
first factor is cow manure compost with the symbol "K" consisting of 4 levels K0 = 0 g / plot
(control), K1 = 1 kg / plot, K2 = 2 kg / plot and K3 = 3 kg / plot. Liquid organic fertilizer (LOF)
fruits with the symbol "C" consist of 4 levels C0 = 0 ml / L water / plot, C1 = 250 ml / L water /
plot, C2 = 500 ml / L water / plot and C3 = 750 ml / L water / plot. The results showed that the
administration of cow manure compost did not significantly affect the parameters of the number
of leaves per sample, a number of tillers per sample, but significantly affected the production of
wet tubers, dry tubers production, and conversion of shallots production, fruit LOF did not
significantly affect all parameters namely number of leaves per sample (strands), a number of
tillers per sample, wet tuber production per sample, dry tuber production per sample, conversion
of shallots production. |
