EFEKTIFITAS ZEOLIT TERHADAP SERAPAN NITROGEN DAN TINGGI TANAMAN PADA BAWANG MERAH

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of zeolites on nitrogen uptake and plant height in shallots. This research method used a combination randomized block design (RBD), the treatment consisted of two factors: the first factor was the dose of zeolite (0 kg / ha, 4000 kg / ha of zeolite, 8000 kg / ha) and the second factor was the variety of shallots (Bima Brebes, Super Philip, and Trisula), the size of the plots was 1.8 mx 1m, the distance between the plots was 30 cm, the distance between replicates was 100 cm using a spacing of 20 cm x 15 cm. The result of Zeolite treatment of 4 tonnes / ha on Bima Brebes variety showed the highest nitrogen uptake, namely 17.72. The best plant height was produced using zeolite 8 ton / ha with Bima Brebes variety.
