Abstract

True seed of shallot (TSS) can be an alternative source of shallot seeds. But the use of TSS in Indonesia is still limited because not many people produce TSS because of high input production. This research aimed to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of input saving TSS production technology packages. The research was carried out in Ciwidey district, Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia from June to October 2016. The research consisted of two factors arranged in a split plot with a randomized block design and eight replications. The main plot was technology packages, namely farmer, recommendation and input saving. The subplot was harvest time, which were 80, 90, and 100 weeks after planting. The observed variables were yield component and yield, soil status, climate data, and farming data. The technical data were analyzed by ANOVA test and continued using the Duncan test at a 95% confidence level. Farming data was analyzed by RC ratio. The results showed that input saving package did not meet seed standards with an RC ratio of 1.07. Savings input on TSS production in Indonesia were only possible by choosing the right location and planting time and must be followed by climate prediction.

Highlights

True seeds of shallot (TSS) can be an alternative source of shallot seeds because TSS can be stored for a long time, so TSS can be used at any time especially when tuber seeds are scarce
The technology package of recommended TSS production has been produced by the Indonesia Vegetable Research Institute (IVEGRI) [1]
Tuber seed vernalization and selection of appropriate location and planting time are an effort to increase flowering in relation to high temperature and rainfall constraints [1,2,4]

Summary

Introduction

True seeds of shallot (TSS) can be an alternative source of shallot seeds because TSS can be stored for a long time, so TSS can be used at any time especially when tuber seeds are scarce. TSS has several other advantages compared to tuber seeds such as the use of a little (5-7 kg / ha), relatively healthy, easy to transport, and no period of dormancy [1, 2]. The technology package of recommended TSS production has been produced by the Indonesia Vegetable Research Institute (IVEGRI) [1]. To deal with environmental constraints in the tropics such as Indonesia in the form of high temperatures and high rainfall, this technology package requires quite high production inputs with a cost range of 200-300 million per ha [3]. Tuber seed vernalization and selection of appropriate location and planting time are an effort to increase flowering in relation to high temperature and rainfall constraints [1,2,4]. Plastic shade is needed to protect flowering and seedlings from rain and Alternaria sp., but can increase the seed survival [1]
