Pengaruh Pupuk Organik Cair Limbah Ikan Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Hasil Tanaman Cabai Rawit (Capscum Frutescens L.) Pada Tanah Aluvial Di Polybag

Abstract

Chilli pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is one of the horticultural crops of the vegetable type that has a small fruit with a spicy taste. In addition, cayenne pepper prices on the market are often higher than other types of chili. Cayenne pepper plants cannot grow and produce properly in the west kalimantan if the cultivation carried out does not pay attention to the environment that is in accordance with the nature of the plant. One of the environments that must be considered for the cultivation of cayenne pepper is the growing medium (soil). The purpose of this activity is to determine the effect of Fish Waste Liquid Organic Fertilizer on the growth and yield of cayenne pepper plants (Capsicum frutescens L.) on alluvial soils in polybags. This research lasted for 3 months from November 2019 to January 2020. This research was conducted at the Green House of Panca Bhakti University, Jln. Komyos Sudarso, District. West Pontianak, West Kaliamntan 78244. This study used a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) pattern with 6 levels of fish waste liquid organic fertilizer treatment. Each treatment was repeated 4 times with 3 sample plants so that 6 x 4 x 3 = 72 plants were obtained. The treatment in question is C0 = Control (without Fish Waste POC), C1 = 0.03% Fish Waste POC, C2 = 0.06% Fish Waste POC, C3 = 0.09% Fish Waste POC, C4 = 0.12% Fish Waste POC, and C5 = 0.15% Fish Waste POC, the parameters observed in this study are plant height (cm), number of branches (branches), number of planting fruits (fruit), and weight of planting fruit (grams). The results of the study showed that the treatment of doses of liquid organic fertilizer for fish waste had a very real effect on variables, namely plant height, number of branches, number of planting fruits, and weight of sample planting fruits. The level of treatment C5 (0.015% POC Bio Waste Fish / 885 ml water) gave the best results in all treatments such as the height of the cayenne pepper plant, which was 56.81 cm, the number of branches of the cayenne pepper plant was 27.17 branches, the number of cayenne pepper plants was 39.42 pieces and the weight of the cayenne pepper plant fruit was 88.36 g.
