Abstract
Support for sustainable agriculture is to utilize organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers which are currently widely used are organic fertilizers from organism faeces and plant materials as well as in this study. The aim of this research was to determine the response of the vermicompost organic fertilizer and Liquid Organic Fertilizer leaves of Lamtoro to the growth and production of Shallot. This research used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of two factors. The application of vermicompost (K) consisted of four levels, 100, 200 and 300 g/polybag. The second factor is the Application of Lamtoro leaf liquid organic fertilizer (P) consists of four dosage levels; 0, 100 200 and 300 ml/polybag. The results showed that the application of vermicompost organic fertilizer showed a significant effect on all parameters studied except for the parameters of the number of tillers. Whereas, the application of Lamtoro leaf Liquid Organic Fertilizer showed no significant effect on all parameters observed. Furthermore, there was no interaction of the application of vermicompost organic fertilizer and Liquid Organic Fertilizer of Lamtoro leaf on the growth and production of shallots.
