Abstract: To meet the needs of shallots, one of the horticultural commodities that is a mainstay of Indonesia's regional and national commodities, needs to increase yields.One way that can be taken is through land expansion.In Indonesia, coastal sand land is a potential land for the development of crop cultivation, especially shallots.To improve the quality of coastal sand land as a planting medium, cow manure is used as soil ameliorant organic matter.Trichoderma asperellum, one of the plant growth promoting fungi (PGPF), is used to increase plant growth This experiment aims to study physiological characters, growth and yield of several shallots cultivars planted in coastal sand, with inoculation of Trichoderma asperellum and the addition of organic material in the form of cow manure, so that cultivars can be determined which have good growth and yield.This research was carried out on the beach sand in Samas area, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, starting November 2017 to January 2018.This field experiment consisting of two factors and arranged in a completely randomized block design with three replications.The first factor is shallots cultivar which consists of four cultivars, namely: Bauji, Tajuk, Manjoung, and Bima Brebes.The second factor is the dose of organic matter in the form of cow manure: (0, 10, 20 and 30)ton/ha.Data from observations were analyzed statistically using analysis of variance, followed by Duncan's multiple range test.Various cultivars tested have a various of total chlorophyll content in leaves, plant height, total dry weight/plant and the dry weight of air-dried bulbs/ha, but it does not have a number of leaves that is significantly different.The application of cow manure with a dose of 10, 20, 30 tons/ha does not produce a total chlorophyll content in leaves, number of leaves and total dry weight/plant that are significantly different from without fertilization, but it produces a variety of plant height and the dry weight of air-dried bulbs/ha.From this study it can be concluded that from various cultivars tested, showed a significant difference in total chlorophyll levels, plant height, total dry weight per plant and weight of air-dried bulbs per hectare.Bima Brebes cultivar has the heaviest weight of air-dried bulbs per hectare.The dose of fertilizer 30 tons per hectare yield the heaviest weight of air-dried bulbs, although not significantly different from the dose of 20 tons per hectare.
