(Allium ascalonicum L. var. Tuktuk) from different source materials applied with liquid biofertilizers. Nusantara Bioscience 12: 127-
133. This research was to examine growth and yield of shallots using different sources of propagation material, namely true shallot seed
(TSS) and bulbs. Soil biological fertility, which was generally low, was improved by the addition of liquid organic fertilizer. The
purpose of this study a) to determine the differences in the propagation of plants from seeds and bulbs of shallot Tuktuk varieties, and b)
to determine the effect of liquid biofertilizer maxigrow and rhizobacteria. The study used a one-factor randomized design. The results
showed that the growth and yield of shallots propagated with bulbs were better than the origin of the seeds. The treatment of the two
types of liquid biofertilizer produces tangible growth and yield, but there was no significant difference between the two kinds of liquid
organic fertilizer.
