METODE PEMBERIAN PUPUK KANDANG AYAM TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI BAWANG MERAH

Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate effects of chicken manure fertilization methods to growth and yield of shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.). Randomized complete block design was applied with four replications. Treatments consisted of broadcasted on soil surface, dipped into planting holes, dipped between plant rows and no-fertilizer. Of the treatments applied, broadcasted-fertilizer gave better growth and bulb yield (15.4 t ha-1) than other treatments. Dipped-method between plant rows produced 11.2 t bulb ha-1, followed by dipped into planting holes of 10.7 t ha-1 and no-fertilizer of 5.6 t ha-1.
