Pengaruh Pupuk Organik Cair Air Kelapa Dan Kalium Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Bawang Merah (Allium Ascalonicum L.)
ABSTRACT
Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) are an important horticultural commodity that is used as a cooking spice. Shallots are a superior commodity that is intensively cultivated. In Riau Province, the availability of shallots is not sufficient for the needs of the community, but Riau has a low level of land productivity. Efforts made by using Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) from coconut water waste can improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. Efforts to increase shallot production also require quality improvements. Large shallot bulbs are produced by carbohydrates through photosynthesis containing potassium. The availability of potassium during the growth period is needed to obtain more optimal shallot bulbs. This study aims to determine the effect of the interaction of LOF coconut water and KCl fertilizer and to obtain the best combination of treatments on the growth and production of shallots. The design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, namely LOF of coconut water (without, 200, 250 and 300 ml.l-1 water) and KCl dose (100, 150 and 200 kg.ha-1). There were 12 treatment combinations which were repeated three times to produce 36 experimental units. The research results showed that the combination of LOF coconut water 250 ml.l-1 water and KCl fertilizer 200 kg.ha-1 significantly increased plant height, number of leaves, number of bulbs per cluster, tuber diameter, weight of fresh bulbs per cluster, weight of fresh bulbs per plot and weight of storable bulbs per plot of shallot plants.
