Abstract
Shallots can grow optimally in locations that are in accordance with growing conditions. Until now, East Kalimantan province still lacks around 7,000 tons of shallots every year, even though the potential land resources in this province are suitable for the development of shallots. Therefore, in order to support agricultural development, especially shallots in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province, an adaptation test of several superior varieties was carried out in Liang Ilir Village, Kota Bangun District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency from August to October 2017. The research objective was to determine the adaptation of four superior varieties of shallots in specific location conditions in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The research design was a randomized block design (RBD) with four shallot varieties, namely Pikatan, Katumi, Bima-Brebes and Local, which was carried out on four implementing farmers as replications. The adaptation of Shallots using tubers, spacing 20 x 15 cm2- dolomite lime 1.5 t ha-1- manure 15 t ha-1- Urea 150 kg ha-1- SP-36 200 kg ha-1- NPK 250 kg ha-1 and pest control. The results showed that the productivity of shallots from four varieties ranged from 12-14 t ha-1.
