The Effect of Liquid Sediment Coastal and Cow Manure on Growth and Yield of Shallot on Peat Soil

Abstract

The objective of the research to know the effect liquid sediment coastal and cow manure on the growth and yield of shallot on peat soil and to know the best dosage can be increased on the yield of shallot. Research conducted at the research field of Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Tanjungpura on April to June 2016, using a completely randomized design factorial with two factors and each treatment combination was replicated three times. The first factor was LLC concentration levels (0.3; 0.6; 0.9 L plant-1). The second factor was cattle manure dosages (25; 50; 75 g plant-1). The research showed that there was an interaction between liquid sediment coastal and cow manure significantly improved the number of tillers, number of bulbs, and fresh weight of shallot. However, there was an interaction between liquid sediment coastal and cow manure and also the effect each treatment not significantly to plant height of shallot. The treatment of liquid sediment coastal 0,6 L plant-1 and cow manure 75 g plant-1 can improve the yield of shallot on peat soil.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh lumpur laut cair dan pupuk kotoran sapi terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil bawang merah di tanah gambut dan mengetahui dosis terbaik untuk meningkatkan produksi bawang merah. Penelitian dilaksanakan di rumah plastik kebun percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Tanjungpura Pontianak sejak bulan April sampai Juni 2016. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap pola faktorial dan diulang sebanyak tiga kali dengan faktor pertama adalah lumpur laut cair (0.3; 0,6; 0,9 L tanaman-1), sedangkan faktor kedua adalah pupuk kotoran sapi (25; 50; 75 g tanaman-1). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi interaksi antara pemberian lumpur laut cair dan pupuk kotoran sapi dalam mempengaruhi jumlah anakan per rumpun, jumlah umbi dan berat segar umbi bawang merah. Namun demikian efek interaksi antara pemberian lumpur laut cair dan pupuk kotoran sapi, maupun efek mandiri pemberian lumpur laut cair dan pupuk kotoran sapi masing-masing teruji tidak bermakna dalam mempengaruhi tinggi tanaman bawang merah. Perlakuan lumpur laut cair 0.6 L tanaman-1 dan pupuk kotoran sapi 75 g tanaman-1 dapat meningkatkan hasil bawang merah di tanah gambut.
