Abstract

This study aims to determine the growth pattern of Dayak onion (Eleutherine palmifolia Merr.) as well as to get the right harvest time with maximum tubers yield and high bioactive compound content in peat and sandy mineral soil media. The study was carried out in Screen house, Kalampangan Village, Sebangau Sub-District, Palangkaraya. The experimental design used is completely randomized design. The parameters observed by measuring the plant variables which consist of plant height, leaf number per panicle, the number of tillers per hill, tubers wet weight, tubers dry weight, and the content of bioactive compounds. All data observations were collaborated, processed, and presented in graphs and images so as to give an idea of the growth pattern of Dayak onion. The results showed that the best growth pattern is occured in sandy mineral soil with 20 weeks of DAS (days after sowing). On the other hand, the highest content of bioactive compounds was found in the Eleutherine of Dayakonion at the age of 18 DAS.  For the growth of the onion crop dayak is recommended using sandy mineral soil media types and content of bioactive compounds was found in the Eleutherine of Dayakonion at the age of 18 DAS.
