PENGARUH SOLID KELAPA SAWIT DAN PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN BAWANG MERAH VARIETAS SS Sakato (Allium ascalonicum L)

Abstract

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) are a leading vegetable crop that has long been intensively cultivated by farmers. Shallot cultivation through the provision of appropriate planting media can increase productivity and soil nutrient content. Shallot production needs to be increased by using superior varieties and liquid organic fertilizers. This study aims to obtain the best dosage of Solid and Liquid Organic Fertilizers for the growth and yield of shallots of the SS-Sakato variety. The study was conducted on the land of the Faculty of Agriculture, Graha Nusantara University, Padangsidimpuan, from July to September 2025. The study used a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) namely Solid with a dose of 1: 1, 1: 2 per 3 kg polybag and Liquid Organic Fertilizer with a dose of 6 ml, 9 ml, and 12 ml per liter of water. The results of the parameters of the shallot plant showed. The solid treatment was not significantly different from all observation parameters (plant height, number of leaves, number of bulbs per clump, wet weight of bulbs, and soil water content) The highest results were in K0 (without treatment) The treatment of giving poc was not significantly different from the observation parameters (plant height, number of leaves, number of bulbs per clump, wet weight of bulbs, and soil water content). The highest results were in the C3 treatment (12 ml / l). The combination of solid and poc treatments was not significantly different from all research parameters.
