Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine the effect of tuber size and different in growing media on the growth and yield of shallot. This was conducted in the experimental garden of Agriculture Faculty UPN "Veteran” Yogyakarta, between April and June 2019, using a Completely Randomized Design with factorial arrangement. Furthermore, tuber size is the first factor, consisting of small (1.0-2.5 g), medium (2.6-3.5 g), and large (3,6-4,6 g), while the second is growing media combination, encompassing soil, soil + husk charcoal, soil + baglog mushroom waste, and soil + husk charcoal + baglog mushroom waste. The result showed the absence of an interaction between the tuber size and the different growing media on the growth and yield of shallot, although the large and medium tuber tend to grow better than small sizes in the aspect of leaf number, tillers number, tuber number, fresh weight, air dry weight, and tuber diameter. Comparably, the media of soil + baglog mushroom waste and soil + husk charcoal + baglog mushroom waste provided the best result regarding number of tillers, fresh weight, and tuber diameter.
