Abstract

The purpose of this research is to improve the physical properties and fertility of soil to improve production of shallot. The research method used is a randomized block factorial design with 3 replication. The first factor was application of liquid fertilizer (N) consisting of 3 levels (N0: 0 cm3/L  water; N1: 1.5 cm3/L  water; N2: 3 cm3/L water). Second factor was cattle manure (A) consisting of 4 levels, namely: A0: 0 g; A1: 40 g cattle manure; A2: 80 g cattle manure; and A3: 120 g cattle manure. The results shown treatment with liquid fertilizer has a significant effect on plant height at weeks after planting (WAP). The study showed that treatment with liquid fertilizer has a significant effect on plant height, tuber weight per clump, and tuber weight per plot, but didn’t not have a significant effect on number of leaves and number of samplings of the shallot plants. Treatment with cattle manure has a significant effect on plant height, tuber weight per clump, tuber weight per plot, and tuber diameter, but does not have a significant effect on number of leaves and number of saplings of the shallot plants. It can be concluded that the higher the application of liquid fertilizer, up to 3 cm3/L , the higher the growth and production of shallot plants, and the higher the application of cattle manure, up to 120 g/plot the higher the growth and production of shallot plants. Keywords:  Plant height, Shallot, Soil Fertility, Tuber weight, Tuber size.
