Shallot plants are currently being cultivated in polybags and placed in residential yards. The purpose of this kind of cultivation is not to get crops to be traded, but merely as a cultivation activity for the use of limited time and space. Shallot themselves are including herbs and or medicinal plants which, although in small amounts, are needed every day. This is a study that applies a growth regulator called Fitosan which is sprayed as folliar, carried out on plants periodically and in a variety of fertilization frequencies. Fitosan levels applied are 1 ppm (K1); 2 ppm (K2) and 3 ppm (K3), while the frequency of giving Fitosan are on age of 15 dap and 45 dap (F1); on age of 15 dap, 30 dap, 45 dap (F2); on age of 15 dap, 25 dap, 35 dap, 45 dap (F3). The experiment was carried out using the Complete Randomized Design Method with an accuracy level of 95%. To determine the effect of treatments on the growth and yield of shallot bulbs, analysis of variance was performed. From observations of plant height, number of leaves and number of tillers until the age of 30 days after planting, it has not shown any significant effect from the treatment applied, but it can be expected that the F3K1 treatment will provide the most tuber yields.
