Abstract

Application of organomineral fertilizer (OMF), which is the product of the inclusion of zeolite and  palm oil compost in urea needs to be studied to determine its appropriate dose for the growth and yield of shallots and N substitution. This pot experiment was conducted from October to December 2020 at the Teaching and Research Field of Agriculture Faculty and consisted of five treatments arranged in a completely randomized design with five replications. The treatments were (1) 1.0 g urea, (2) 0.5 g urea + 1.15 g OMF, (3) 0.5 g urea + 2.30 g OMF, (4) 0.5 g urea + 3.45 g OMF, and (5) 0.5 g urea + 4.60 g OMF. The results showed that combined application of 0.5 g urea + 4.60 g OMF produced the highest values of plant height (30.60 cm), number of leaves (30.90), fresh weight of tubers per clump (30.90 g),  dry tuber weight per clump (24.3 g), and tuber diameter (16.25 mm). The incorporation of zeolite and palm oil compost in urea reduced the application rate of urea up to 50% without reducing the growth and yield of shallot. Thus, N fertilizer use can be enhanced if urea is co-applied with zeolite and palm oil compost.

Abstract

Salinity stress is the major abiotic stress for crop production. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of zeolite on improving soil properties, the growth, and yield of Chinese cabbage. This pot experiment was conducted from September to November 2020 at the Research and Teaching Field of the Faculty of Agriculture, consisted of 6 treatment levels, i.e. (1) control, (2) soil + 6.9 g NaCl /10 kg soil, (3) soil + 6.9 g Na2SO4 /10 kg soil, (4) soil + 3.2 g zeolite /10 kg soil, (5) soil + 6.9 g NaCl /10 kg soil + 3.2 g zeolite /10 kg soil, and (6) soil + 6.9 g Na2SO4 /10 kg soil + 3.2 g zeolite /10 kg of soil, and arranged in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The application of zeolite decreased the EC of salinized soil and increased the soil CEC. NaCl salinity stress reduced plant height (23%), number of leaves (22%), fresh weight of roots (165%), dry weight of roots (170%), stalk length (32%), and plant dry weight (131%), while Na2SO4 salinity stress only reduced the number of leaves (23%). The addition of zeolite to salinized NaCl soil increased stalk length (39%), plant fresh weight (172%), leaf fresh weight (174%), plant dry weight (133%), and leaf dry weight (23%), while to salinized Na2SO4 soil only increased plant dry weight (90%) and leaf dry weight (177%). The overall results show that the addition of zeolite can effectively ameliorate salinity stress due to NaCl.
