Abstract
This study demonstrated that the application of dolomite markedly enhanced scallion growth and productivity, with an optimal dosage of 450 kg ha⁻¹ yielding the highest fresh economic weight of 12.59 g per plant. Dolomite not only neutralizes soil acidity well, but it also provides calcium and magnesium. However, using it at more than the recommended dose (675 kg ha⁻¹) caused a saturation effect that lowered yields. The best yield, 13.30 g, came from NPK fertilizer. This is because it has the right balance of macronutrients to help plants grow and maximize yield. The interaction between dolomite and NPK fertilizer did not significantly impact yield, but the combination increased nutrient uptake. This is due to the increase in soil pH and nutrient availability due to dolomite treatment and fertilizer types (compost and NPK), as well as environmental factors (temperature and rainfall), which significantly affect the yield of scallion. The results showed that applying 450 kg ha⁻¹ of dolomite combined with NPK fertilizer was the best way to increase scallion productivity.
