Interaction between Rice Husk Biochar and Three Species of Fungus on Growth and Yield of Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the application of rice husk biochar and three types of fungi on shallot growth and yield components of shallot. The research was carried out as a Split Plot Design. As the main plot, rice husk biochar with three levels, namely 0 t ha-1, 2 t ha-1, and 4 t ha-1. As subplots, three types of fungus with four levels, namely without fungus/control, Trichoderma asperellum, Beauveria bassiana, and Metarhizium anisopliae. The results showed that there was an interaction between of rice husk biochar 4 t ha-1 with three types of fungi namely Trichoderma asperellum which gave the best results for N content (2.35%) and P content (0.57%) in shallot leaves. Application of rice husk biochar 4 t ha-1 gave the best results on bulb diameter (35.66 mm). The application of three types of fungi, namely Trichoderma asperellum, gave the best results for plant height (43.47 cm), number of leaves (7.30 strands), bulb diameter (35.33 mm), dry bulb weight (21.23 g), yield per hectare (11.56 tons), and the lowest percentage of fusarium wilt disease (1.36%), and Beauveria bassiana with the lowest percentage of Spodoptera exigua attacks (5.33%). These results indicate that applied rice husk biochar and three types of fungi can increase the growth and yield of shallot plants and suppress Spodoptera exigua attack and the incidence of Fusarium wilt disease in shallots.
