Abstract

This research aims to study the potential of local organic fertilizers on the growth, yield, and quality of shallots, to guide the choice of organic fertilizers as a substitute for chemical fertilizers in the organic shallot production of Sisaket Province. This study consisted of five local organic fertilizers: commercial organic fertilizer, dried cow manure, dried pig manure, dried chicken manure, and bio compost, compared with chemical fertilizer (Control).  The Randomized Complete Block Design; RCBD was used as an experimental design with 4 replications. The plot size is 1x1.5 m2, and 48 plants/plot. Fertilizers application were divided into three phases; 1) at the soil preparation time, 1) 20 days after planting (DAPS) and 3) 45 DAPS. The results showed that dried chicken manure has a strong influence on shallot’s growth, yield, and quality, with 5.75 kg/plot or 3.99 tons/rai. Followed by dried pig manure with 4.55 kg/plot or 3.15 tons/rai. While chemical fertilizer yields only 4.32 kg/plot or 2.99 tons/rai. In addition, when evaluating economic returns, it was found that the use of all organic fertilizers provides a net income of between 158,020-264,820 baht/rai, but chemical fertilizers provide a net income per area of only 47,390 baht/rai. Therefore, as the results of this study show, in the production of organic shallots, locally available organic fertilizers can be used as a substitute for chemical fertilizers, especially dried chicken manure and dried pig manure. Keywords:  Bio-Compost, Manure, Growth, Yield, Economic benefit
