Study of Fertilization Technology on Various Plant Population Densities of Shallots from True Shallot Seed Supports Proliga Technology anani a
Abstract
Shallot production can be affected by nutrient availability and plant population density in producing bulbs. The study aims to obtain the right dose of fertilizer and plant population for increased production through a double folding program (proliga) of shallot from true shallot seed (TSS). The study was conducted in Bonto Parang Village, Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi in January-December 2024. The study used a split-plot design with three replications. The population density as the main plot consisted of J1 = 100 plants/m2 (1 seedlings per hole), J2 = 200 plants/m2 (2 seedlings per hole) and J3 = 133 plants/m2 (2 seedlings per hole). Fertilizer dosage as sub-plot consisted of P1 = 269,10 kg N, 311,40 kg P, 315,0 kg K (110% of recommendations); P2 = 246,68 kg N, 285,45 kg P, 288,75 kg K (recommendations); P3 = 224,25 kg N, 259,5 kg P, 262,5 kg K (90% of recommendations); P4 = 201,82 kg N, 233,55 kg P, 236,25 kg K (80% of recommendations); P5 = 179.4 kg N, 217,6 kg P, 210,0 kg K (70% of recommendations). The results of the study indicated that the interaction of NPK fertilizer dosage and population density had no different effect on the growth and yield components of shallot from TSS. The difference in population density showed a significant effect on the number of leaves aged 15, 30 and 45 DAP. While fertilizer dosage were not significant effect on plant height and leaf number at aged 30 and 45 DAP. The percentage of Fusarium wilt disease and the population of larvae Spodoptera were quite high in a population of 200 plants/m².The wet and dry weight of tubers (grams per clump and per plot) were higher at population of 133 plants/m2 (J3), namely 1586.67 gram/plot than the other population treatments and significantly different with the population at J1 and J2. While wet weight of tubers per plot were higher at fertilizer dosage of 224,25 kg N, 259,5 kg P, 262,5 kg K (P3, namely 1588.89 gram/plot than the other fertilizer dosage and significantly different with fertilizer dosage at P1 and P5, but not significantly different with fertilizer at P4 and P5. The technology of shallot Proliga from seed is technically feasible to be developed because of its high productivity and benefit to farmers
