Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the growth and yield of upland shallots (Allium cepa L. Aggregatum group) with organic fertilizer treatments. A Factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two factors and three replications was applied. The first factor was the application of eucalyptus leaf litter bokashi, with four levels: S0 (0 kg/plot), S1 (3 kg/plot), S2 (5 kg/plot), and S3 (7 kg/plot). The second factor was the application of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) from cow urine, with four levels: U0 (0 ml/plant), U1 (100 ml/plant), U2 (200 ml/plant), and U3 (300 ml/plant). The parameters measured included plant height (cm), leaf count (strands), fresh tuber weight per plot (g), and dry economic tuber weight per plot (g). The results indicated that the combination of eucalyptus leaf litter bokashi and cow urine POC had a significant effect on the growth and yield of shallots. The highest vegetative growth was recorded with a plant height of 49.82 cm at an organic fertilizer application rate of 3.52 kg/plot and POC of 100 ml/plant. The maximum number of leaves reached 46.09 strands with an organic fertilizer dose of 3.85 kg/plot and POC of 269 ml/plant. The highest fresh tuber weight per plot was 2,132.82 g with 4.44 kg/plot of organic fertilizer and 284 ml/plant of POC, while the maximum dry economic tuber weight per plot was 1,916.99 g at an organic fertilizer dose of 3.87 kg/plot and POC application of 295 ml/plant.

Abstract

The Baion plant (Pandanus tectorius) is known as a thriving plant and as a natural resource that has many benefits. People in various regions, including Humbang Hasundutan Regency, have used these plant parts for various purposes, such as handicraft raw materials, food, and cultural products. However, maximum utilization is still not fully realized, so further research is needed to explore this potential. This effort is expected to be a solution to increase local MSME income, reduce dependence on imported materials, and preserve local wisdom. The purpose of this research is to explore the potential of Baion plants in supporting the development of MSMEs, as well as identify factors that affect the successful implementation of the use of Baion plants. This research method uses qualitative and quantitative approaches through surveys, product manufacturing experiments, and MSME training. SWOT analysis is used to evaluate market opportunities, while organoleptic tests are applied to Baion-based food products. The survey method is used to collect preliminary data from respondents, either through questionnaires or interviews, to understand market preferences and needs. On the other hand, product manufacturing experiments are carried out to evaluate variations in formulas and production methods, especially in Baion-based food products, through organoleptic tests to assess sensory quality (taste, aroma, texture, and appearance). In addition, MSME training is held to improve the ability of producers in product development and marketing. In evaluating market potential, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis is carried out which functions to find out the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a business.
