Abstract

Biochar is a solid material produced by thermochemical conversion of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. It has a wide surface and contains many pores so that it can be used as a material for making fertilizer. Biochar based slow release NPK fertilizer was formulated and developed to reduce nutrient leaching and greenhouse gas emissions. In this research, biochar which was a by-product of biomass gasification using oil palm empty fruit bunches was processed to make slow release biochar NPK fertilizer. Sources of nitrogen (N) were derived from urea, phosphate (P) from diamonium phosphate (DAP) and potassium (K) derived from potassium chloride (KCl). Zeolite was added as a matrix to improve fertilizer characteristics. All materials were formulated to make slow release biochar NPK fertilizer used for red onion (Allium sepa) plant applications. Several micronutrients were also added including Mg (MgSO4 fertilizer) and S (ZA fertilizer) to support plant growth. The characterization of fertilizer products was carried out by using SEM, BET etc. to determine physical properties including surface area, pore volume, morphology and composition. Furthermore, biochar NPK fertilizer was applied to the red onion plant which was a high-value crop in Indonesia. The application of NPK biochar fertilizer on red onion plant showed its superiority compared to commercial NPK fertilizers. In addition, the use of Magnesium and sulfur micronutrients could support the growth of red onion bulbs so that they produced more and bigger bulbs.*The paper has been selected from a collaboration with IPST and 7th ICFCHT 2019 for a conference entitled "Innovation in Polymer Science and Technology (IPST) 2019 in Conjunction with 7th International Conference on Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technology (ICFCHT 2019) on October 16th - 19th at The Stones Hotel Legian, Bali, Indonesia"

Abstract

Shallot (Allium cepa L. var ascalonicum) is one of the leading vegetable commodities that is widely used and has high economic value. National shallot productivity continues to decline from year to year, so it is necessary to increase shallot production both in quantity and quality. One way that can be done is to apply effective efforts in the cultivation system such as the use of effective and efficient fertilizer technology. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of using Controlled Release Fertilizer (CRF) technology on the effectiveness test of the shallot variety SS Sakato which was carried out on a 4200 m2 plot of land in Kuningan, West Java. The results show that the use of CRF technology can increase growth (plant height), and the number of tillers, and increase shallot productivity. The increase in plant height at 30 HST increased by an average of 50% for all treatments and then slowed down to 20% in the second month. Regarding the number of tillers, the use of CRF technology can increase by about 38% when compared to controlled plots. Against the weight of the harvest, it can increase by 7-22% higher than the use of NPK fertilizer (comparison). The quality of the shallots produced also shows better with larger tuber sizes and brighter colours. Keywords: Controlled Release Fertilizer (CRF), fertilizer, shallot, the effectiveness test, Sakato
