Abstract

Shallot waste, in the form of stover, is often a problem at shallot marketing locations. Toovercome this problem, stover can be further processed into bokashi compost. This studyexamines the effect of bokashi compost doses on shallot plants. The experiment was conducted inSilihasih Village, Babakan District, Cirebon Regency, from August to October 2021. A randomizedcomplete block design (RCBD) was used to test the effect of shallot bokashi doses (0, 10, 20, 30,40, 50, and 60 t ha-1) on shallot growth and yields. The observed growth variables were plantheight, number of leaves and shoots per clump, root volume, shoot-to-root ratio, and plant growthrate. The observed yield components and yield variables were bulb diameter, fresh bulb weightper clump and per plot, and dry bulb weight per clump and per plot. The statistical analysis usedwas analysis of variance with post hoc Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed thatshallot stover bokashi can increase shallot growth and yield. Shallot stover bokashi of 20 and 60t ha-1 produced higher dry weight of bulbs per plot than other treatments, namely 3.22 and 3.16t plot-1.
