RESPON PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN BAWANG MERAH VARIETAS BIMA BREBES TERHADAP BERBAGAI DOSIS PUPUK ZA SECARA TERAPUNG MENGGUNAKAN RAKIT BAMBU
Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) are an important horticultural commodity in Indonesia with high economic value. The limited availability of productive land, particularly in swampy lowland areas, necessitates innovative cultivation techniques, one of which is floating cultivation using bamboo rafts as an alternative for managing inundated land. This study aimed to determine the response of shallot variety Bima Brebes to various doses of ZA fertilizer in a floating cultivation system. The research was conducted at the Embung of the Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, from July to September 2025 using a single-factor randomized block design (RAK) with four ZA fertilizer treatments, namely P0 (control), P1 (300 kg/ha), P2 (500 kg/ha), and P3 (800 kg/ha). The results showed that the application of ZA fertilizer had a significant effect only on chlorophyll content at the sixth week after planting, while plant growth and yield parameters did not differ significantly among treatments. The best response was obtained with the 300 kg/ha dose, which provided better plant growth compared to other treatments.
