Efforts to increase onion yields, among others by chicken manure and EM4. This research has been conducted to obtain the optimal dose the effect of chicken manure and EM4 application on the growth and yield of the shallot. Research was conducted on Jalan Pasar Satu, Medan Selayang, Medan with a height of 25 m above sea level on June to August 2012. using randomized block design of two factors, the factors are chicken manure (0, 40, 80, 120 g / plant) and EM4 (0, 3.5, 7 cc / l of water).
