Abstract
Aims: The research aimed to study the interaction between chicken manure dose and mulch type to growth and yield of shallot in lowland.
 Study Design: Factorial design in Randomized complete block design.
 Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducted in experimental garden of Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University, West Sumatera, Indonesia from September-December 2019.
 Methodology: Factorial design with 3 factors in block randomized design was used in the research. The first factor chicken manure dose that consisted of three degrees (30 ton/ha, 40 ton/ha and 50 ton/ha). The second factor was type of mulch that consisted of two degrees (black plastic mulch and silver plastic mulch). The observed parameters were height of plant, number of leaves, number of bulb per clump and dry weight per hectare. The data was analyzed by using F test in 5% and followed by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test in 5%.
 Results: The result showed that the interaction between chicken manure and mulch type did not affect the growth and yield of shallot.
 Conclusion: Chicken manure and mulch type were not effective to use for increasing the growth and yield of shallot in same time.
