RESPONS PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI BAWANG MERAH (Allium ascalonicum L.) TERHADAP PEMBERIAN VERMIKOMPOS DAN URINE KELINCI

Abstract

ABSTRACT Response in Growth and Yield of Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) on Giving Vermicompost and Rabbit Urine. The use of chemical fertilizersis an alternative that is often selected farmers to increase the production of shallot. Because of that giving of vermicompost and rabbit urine is expected to replace the role of chemical fertilizers in increasing the growth and production of shallot. This research had been conducted at Farm Resident on street Pasar I number 89 Tanjung Sari, Medan from May until July 2013 using factorial randomized block design with two factor, i.e. dose of vermicompost (0, 15, 30 and 45 g vermicompost/plant) and dose of rabbit urine (0, 125 and 250 cc/l). Parameter observed were plant height, tillers number per clump, leaves number per clump, clove number per sample, wet weight tuber per sample, wet weight tuber per plot, dry weight tuber per sample, and dry weight tuber per plot. The result showed that vermicompost treatment not significantly affected all of parameter observed. Rabbit urine treatment increase plant height, tillers number per clump, clove number per sample, wet weight tuber per sample, wet weight tuber per plot, dry weight tuber per sample, and dry weight tuber per plot. The treatment interaction significantly effected on parameters tillers number per clump and clove number per sample. The best result were showed by vermicompost treatment 15 g/plant and rabbit urine treatment 250 cc/l. Keywords : Vermicompost, rabbit urine, shallot
