| dc.description.abstract | Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the horticultural commodities with
high economic value and is needed by the community as food ingredients. Increasing
P uptake and shallot growth and production can be done by applying manure and
mycorrhiza. This study aims to determine the best type of manure and mycorrhizal
dosage to increase P uptake, growth and shallot production. The research was
conducted from June to August 2023 at the Berastagi Agricultural Technology
Research and Assessment Installation, Dolat Rayat District, Karo, North Sumatra, with
an altitude of ± 1,340 m above sea level, Andisol soil type. The design used in this
research was a Factorial Group Randomized Block Design with three replications. The
treatment studied is the first factor of the type of manure (without applying manure,
applying cow manure, applying chicken manure, applying goat manure) and the
second factor is mycorrhiza dose (0 (control), 5 g / plant, 10 g / plant). The results
showed that the application of the type of manure had a significant effect on the
observation variables, specifically plant height, plant weight per clump, plant weight
per plot, tuber weight per clump, plant weight per plot, wrap tubers, plant dry weight
and tuber dry weight. The chicken manure got the best results, but differs not
significantly in the application of cow and goat manure, but made a significant
difference when it was without manure. Mycorrhiza can markedly increase plant
height, plant weight per clump, plant weight per plot, tuber weight per clump, tuber
weight per plot, tuber wrap, plant dry weight per clump, tuber dry weight per clump
and plant P uptake when compared to no mycorrhiza application. | en_US |
