Abstract

The study was conducted to obtain adaptable varieties and methods of planting shallots. The research was ordered in factorial using a randomized block design. The first factor was using mulch or without mulch, and the second factor was using six varieties of shallots. The planting is in 1 x 10 m seedbed by 15 x 15 cm apart with a tuber per planting hole. Each treatment was repeated three times. The results showed that the method of planting shallots using mulch generated better growth of the plants and better yield compared to planting shallots without mulch. The highest yield was obtained through planting method using mulch, which is 11.74 t/ha, whereas without mulch, only 9.36 t/ha. There was a 2.38 t/ha difference or an increase of 20.27% yield. Four shallots varieties that gave better results by using the planting method with mulch are Super Philip (12.92 t/ha), Manjung (12.85 t/ha), Ilocos Philip (11.94 t/ha) and Katumi (11.48 t/ha ). Whereas three varieties that relatively gave better results by planting without mulch are Super Philip (10.76 t/ha), Ilocos Philip (10.55 t/ha), and Manjung (10.13 t/ha).
