Abstract
Shallots plants are one of the leading national commodities in addition to chilies and potatoes. The government must re-evaluate to intensify and encourage farmers to re-plant crops that have been a daily necessity in the community. Although it cannot be denied, that the need for shallots in Indonesia has been an important note in advancing agricultural production. This study aims to obtain the most appropriate mulching technology and NPK fertilizer dosage for improving the physical condition and soil fertility and the availability of nutrients to obtain maximum growth and yield of shallots. The method used in achieving the goal is the experimental method in the field using a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with three levels of mulch types and four levels of NPK fertilizer doses. The highest oven dry weight of tubers per clump was obtained in the interaction between types of rice husk mulch with a dose of NPK fertilizer 250 kg ha-1 (MsP3) of 3.53 g which was very significantly different with the lowest yield of 2.20 g obtained in the interaction between species. rice husk mulch with a dose of NPK fertilizer 150 kg ha-1 (MsP1).
