Abstract
Although traditionally grown in highlands, certain shallot cultivars have successfully adapted to coastal environments. This study aimed to assess the adaptability of shallot varieties in lowland areas and evaluate the combined effects of different planting media on shallot growth and yield. The research took place in Medan Baru, Kandang Limun Village, Muara Bangkahulu District, Bengkulu City, Indonesia, at an altitude of 15 meters above sea level. The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: shallot variety and planting media composition. The combination between variety and planting media composition significantly influenced several growth parameters, including plant height, number of leaves, bulb height and diameter, bulb fresh and dry weight, and bulb production. The variety Super Philip demonstrated superior adaptability to lowland conditions, exhibiting enhanced plant growth and higher yields compared to other varieties. Specifically, Super Philip showed increased plant height, leaf number, root dry weight, bulb diameter, bulb fresh and dry weight, and the crop yield. The planting media composed of 7.6 kg Entisols + 1.3 kg Clay + 1.1 kg broadleaf weed ameliorant (76%, 13%, and 11%, respectively) proved the most effective in promoting shallot growth and yield. These findings suggest incorporating clay and broadleaf weed compost into sandy coastal soils can significantly enhance shallot productivity.
