Abstract

Vermicompost is an organic fertilizer containing essential macro and micronutrients for plant growth. This study aimed to determine the dose and time of vermicompost application to the shallot. The study was carried out at an altitude of 1054 meters above sea level in Air Duku Village, Selupu Rejang District, Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province. A Split Plot Design with three replications was used in the study. The main plot was the time of vermicompost application, which was ten days before and during planting. Sub-plots were vermicompost doses of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 tons/ha. Vermicompost applied ten days before planting at a 40 ton/ha resulted in the tallest shallot shoot (36.60 cm) and the highest number of leaves (28.20). Vermicompost applied ten days before planting produced more shallot bulbs (4.46 bulbs), larger bulb diameter (19.18 mm), heavier bulb weight per clump (4.75 g), and heavier bulb weight per m2 (837.73 g) than vermicompost applied at planting. Vermicompost at a dose of 40 tons/ha resulted in 5.80 bulbs per plant, 18.96 mm bulb diameter, 4.63 g bulb weight per clump, and 1022.25 g bulb weight per m2, higher than the lower dose. Therefore, vermicompost could benefit as a source of plant nutrients, comparable to synthetic fertilizers in shallot production.

Abstract

Applying organic fertilizer and intercropping systems are among the techniques for preserving land sustainability in organic vegetable production systems. In organic vegetable production, the use of liquid organic fertilizer has been suggested in addition to the use of solid organic fertilizer. This study evaluates how growth and yields of sweet corn and peanuts grown utilizing row intercropping respond to different vermicomposting dosages. A factorial experiment is arranged using a split-plot design with three replicates. The main plot is vermicomposting dosages; 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 Mg/ha, and the sub-plot was the applications of liquid organic fertilizer, not fertilized and fertilized with liquid organic fertilizer. Results show that the application of liquid organic fertilizer elevated plant height and leaf area, length, diameter, and weight of husked ears of sweet corn. Vermicomposting increased plant height, husked ear length, husked ear diameter, and husked ear fresh weight of sweet corn. Twenty Mg/ha is the best dosage for producing sweet corn intercropped with peanuts. However, using vermicompost and liquid organic fertilizers did not increase the growth and yields of peanuts. Evaluation of nutrient uptakes by intercropped crops, sweet corn, and peanut, in organic production systems, should be the subject of further study.
