Respon Agronomis Bawang Merah (Allium Cepa L.) Varietas Batu Ijo terhadap Aplikasi Dosis Pupuk Kandang Ayam dan Konsentrasi Pupuk Organik Cair

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction between chicken manure and liquid organic fertilizer on the yield and growth of shallots (Allium cepa L.) Batu Ijo variety. This research was conducted in Margahurip Village, Banjaran, Bandung, West Java. The method applied in this study was an experimental method, using a Randomized Block Design with a factorial pattern of two treatment factors, namely chicken manure and liquid organic fertilizer. Chicken manure consisted of k₁ (0 ton/ha), k₂ (10 ton/ha), k₃ (20 ton/ha), while liquid organic fertilizer consisted of c₁ (0 ml/l), c₂ (3 ml/l), c₃ (6 ml/l). The results showed that no interaction was found between the application of chicken manure dosage and the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer on the yield and growth of shallot plants of the Batu Ijo variety. Chicken manure (k3) at a dosage of 20 ton/ha gave a better effect on plant height (21 and 35 days after planting), wet bulb weight per plot, and wet bulb diameter. Meanwhile, the application of liquid organic fertilizer had no effect on all observed variables.
