UJI EFEKTIVITAS PEMBERIAN PUPUK NPK TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN BAWANG MERAH (ALLIUM ASCALONICUM L.) VARIETAS BAUJI SECARA TERAPUNG
Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the horticultural plants that has high value and economic potential in Indonesia. Shallots are usually used as a flavoring for dishes in the community to add flavor. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the best dose of compound NPK fertilizer on the growth and yield of shallot plants (Allium ascalonicum L.) of the Bauji variety in a floating manner. This research was carried out from June to August 2024 at the Embung of Sriwijaya University with coordinates of 003°13'16"LS and 104°39'03"BT. The study was conducted using a Group Random Design (RAK) consisting of 4 treatment levels and 3 replicates. The fertilizer dose used in this study was P0= control or no NPK fertilizer, P1 = 300 kg ha-1 (1.2 grams of polybag-1), P2 = 600 kg ha-1 (2.4 grams polybag-1), P3 = 900 kg ha-1 (3,6 grams polybag-1). polybag- 1), P3 = 900 kg ha-1 (3.6 grams of polybag-1). The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf greenness level, leaf greenness level pattern, wet weight pruned, dry weight pruned, number of tillers, number of bulb, bulb length, bulb diameter, bulb volume, bulb fresh weight, bulb dry weight, and root length. The results showed that the application of various doses of NPK fertilizer had an insignificant effect on the growth and yield of Bauji varieties of shallots planted floating on swamp land. The application of 900 kg of compound NPK fertilizer ha-1 3.6 grams of polybag-1 provides higher growth and yield compared to other treatments. In addition to the factor of applying NPK fertilizer, the growth of shallot plants is also influenced by weather and environmental conditions. Keywords: Bauji Variety, NPK Fertilizer, Shallot
