Bawang merah (Allium ascalonicum L.) merupakan salah satu komoditas unggulan nasional, dan produksinya terus dikembangkan setiap tahun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi POC limbah kulit buah-buahan dan interval pemberiannya terhadap pertumbuhan bawang merah (Allium ascalonicum L.). Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan di lahan Sektor Timur Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Syiah Kuala, Kecamatan Darussalam, Kabupaten Aceh Besar, Provinsi Aceh, yang dilaksanakan dari bulan Januari sampai Maret 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok non faktorial dengan 3 ulangan. Faktor yang diteliti yaitu konsentrasi dan interval pemberian pupuk organik cair limbah kulit buah-buahan (KN), yang terdiri dari 10 taraf yaitu KN0 = Kontrol, KN1 = 6 ml L-1 air 2 hari sekali, KN2 = 6 ml L-1 air 4 hari sekali, KN3 = 6 ml L-1 air 6 hari sekali, KN4 = 8 ml L-1 air 2 hari sekali, KN5 = 8 ml L-1 air 4 hari sekali, KN6 = 8 ml L-1 air 6 hari sekali, KN7 = 10 ml L-1 air 2 hari sekali, KN8 = 10 ml L-1 air 4 hari sekali, dan KN9 = 10 ml L-1 air 6 hari sekali. Analisis data menggunakan ANNOVA dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan New Multiple Range Test pada taraf 5 %. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan konsentrasi dan interval pemberian pupuk organik cair limbah kulit buah-buahan berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman 6 MST, jumlah daun 6 MST, dan bobot kering daun dan akar per rumpun. Perlakuan konsentrasi dan interval pemberian pupuk organik cair limbah kulit buah-buahan terbaik terdapat pada pemberian 10 ml L-1 air 2 hari sekali.

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) are one of the leading national commodities, and their production continues to be developed every year. This study aims to determine the effect of POC concentration of fruit peel waste and the interval of application on the growth of shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.). This research was carried out on the East Sector land of the Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, Darussalam District, Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province, which was carried out from January to March 2023. This research used a non-factorial Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. The factors studied were the concentration and interval of application of liquid organic fertilizer from fruit peel waste (KN), which consisted of 10 levels, namely KN0 = Control, KN1 = 6 ml L-1 water every 2 days, KN2 = 6 ml L-1 water Once every 4 days, KN3 = 6 ml L-1 water once every 6 days, KN4 = 8 ml L-1 water once every 2 days, KN5 = 8 ml L-1 water once every 4 days, KN6 = 8 ml L-1 water every 6 days once, KN7 = 10 ml L-1 water every 2 days, KN8 = 10 ml L-1 water once every 4 days, and KN9 = 10 ml L-1 water once every 6 days. Data analysis used ANNOVA and continued with the Duncan New Multiple Range Test at the 5% level. The results of this study showed that the concentration and interval treatment of liquid organic fertilizer from fruit peel waste had a very significant effect on plant height at 6 WAP, number of leaves at 6 WAP, and dry weight of leaves and roots per cluster. The best treatment concentration and interval for administering liquid organic fertilizer from fruit peel waste is to administer 10 ml L-1 of water every 2 days.
