Abstract
The success of shallot cultivation in vertisol soil is influenced by the use of seeds and the application of organic matter. The aim of this study was to the effect of type of local organic matter on vertisol soil on the growth and yield of three True Shallot Seed (TSS) varieties. The research was carried out in Plembutan, Playen, Gunung Kidul. The research was conducted from May-August 2021. The research method used a Split Plot Design with 3 replications. The main plot consists of types of local organic matter (B), consisting of B1 = Cow, and B2 = Goat, B3 = Chicken. While the sub-plots were Varieties (V), consisting of: V1 = Maserati, V2 = Sanren, , and V3 = Lokananta. The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, number of bulb per clump, dry bulb weight per clump, bulb diameter and productivity. Data were analyzed with variance and DMRT 5%. The results showed that the type of local organic matter did not significantly interact with the TSS variety. Treatment of types of organic matter and varieties did not significantly affect plant height, number of leaves, number of tubers per clump, dry tuber weight per clump, tuber diameter and productivity. The type of local organic matter from cows produces the highest growth and yields, followed by goats and chickens. The lokananta variety produced the highest productivity, followed by Sanren and Maserati.
