| Sumario: | Shallots are generally propagated vegetatively by using tubers as planting material.
The disadvantages of the onion cultivation method using bulbs are that the bulbs are expensive, have higher transportation costs, can transmit disease to the next generation, and have a short shelf life. This resulted in a significant decrease in onion production. One alternative way to overcome the shortage of planting material to increase the production and quality of shallots is to develop shallot planting material from seeds. This research was aimed to know the effect of different concentration of compound fertilizer with nanotechnology to the growth and yield of three shallot varieties (Allium ascalonicum l.) from seed (true shallot seed) in Banten province dry land. The research used a split plot design, with two factors as treatment and three replications. The main plot was the concentration of compound fertilizer with nanotechnology (k) which consisted of four levels: without nanotechnology fertilizer, 2.5 ml/l, 5.0 ml/l, and 7.5 ml/l nanotechnology fertilizer. The sub-plot was varieties which consisted of three levels: Maserati, Lokananta and Sanren varieties. Results showed that the application of nanotechnology fertilizers with a concentration of 5.0 ml/l gave the best results to plant height parameters of 3 Weeks After Planting (WAP) ( 25.39 cm), number of leaves 4 WAP (8.60 strands) and 5 WAP (11.84 strands), number of bulbs (1.88 bulbs) and wet weight of bulbs per clump (39.29 g). The Sanren variety gave the best growth and yield at plant height parameters of 2 WAP (20.77 cm), 3 WAP (26.07 cm), 4 WAP (32.18 cm), and 5 WAP (41.12 cm), the number of leaves 2 WAP (2.77 strands), 3 WAP (5.88 Stands), 4 WAP (9.13 strands), number of bulbs each plant (2.07 bulbs) and wet weight per clump (40.84 g). There was no interaction between treatment of nanotechnology compound fertilizers concentration and varieties to all observed parameters. |
