ABSTRACT

Currently, the use of organic compost, whose material is easily available, is not widely used by farmers because it takes time to make it; instant chemical fertilisers are thereby preferable for them. This research aims to investigate the effect of compost types and varieties on the growth and yield of shallots. This research was conducted in Gampong Panjoe, Kembang Tanjong District, Pidie Regency. This study used the Group Random Design (RAK) Factorial Pattern with two factors studied: compost types and varieties. The compost types comprise three levels: K0 (without compost), K1 (straw compost), K2 (forage compost), and K3 (household compost). The varieties include V1 (Brebes), V2 (Philippine), and V3 (Thailand). The observed variable consists of plant height, number of onion cloves, wet stash weight in the plot, dry stash weight, and yield in hectares. The findings showed that the use of compost can increase the yield per hectare of shallots up to 49.5% compared to those without composting. The variety that gives the best results due to composting is the Brebes variety reaching 35.6%.
