Abstract

Fusarium control through the cultivation of healthy plants with improved technical culture is an effective solution that can be practiced in irrigated rice fields. The aim of this study was to obtain the best technical culture technology package in controlling fusarium and increasing shallot production in irrigated rice fields. The research was conducted in Rejasa Subak Rejasa Kelod Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency. The research was conducted from June to September 2019. Using a randomized block design (RBD), the plots were divided into two treatment factors, namely: Factor 1, namely 2 levels of varieties, namely: local varieties of Tabanan (V1) and varieties of Bali Karet (V2). Factor 2, namely 3 levels of technology packages, namely: P1 = existing, P2 = improvement- and P3 = innovative. The parameters observed included plant height, maximum number of leaves, number of tubers, stem diameter, total dry plant weight of harvest per clump, total weight of dry plant harvest per tuber, weight of sold / stored dry tubers per clump and percentage of fusarium attack. Data were analyzed using an analysis of diversity and mean difference test. The results showed that the highest average total dry weight of harvested plants per tubers was shown in the innovative packaging (2.15) which was not significantly different from the repair package treatment (1.99) or 24.19% higher than the existing package (1.63 kg). The highest weight of selling/storing dry tubers per clump was shown in the innovative package treatment (89.48) which was 12.32 and 38.25% higher than the repair packages (78.46) and the existing (55.25 grams). The highest percentage of fusarium attacks was shown in the existing package at 36.67%, while the repair package was 13.33 and the innovative one was (16.67%). It was concluded that the application of the improved technology package and the innovative.technology gave the best results for all observed parameters
