Abstract 
 This study aims to determine the effect of compost and biochar made from livestock manure and its interaction on the growth and yield of red chili plants. in former farmers' rice fields in Blahkiuh Village, Abiansemal District, Badung Regency, with an altitude of about 400-500 meters above sea level. This research activity took place from March to July 2020. The design used in this study was a factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 2 factors, namely: chicken compost with 2 levels and 4 levels of biochar by testing the compost dose and the type of biochar with a dose of 15 tons ha-1. The interaction between the treatment of the effect of biochar dose (B) and the dose of chicken compost (K) had no significant effect on all observed variables. The biochar treatment had a significant to very significant effect on most of the observed variables, except for the variable number of leaves, number of fruit, dry weight of fruit oven, dry weight of streak oven, which had no significant effect, while the chicken compost treatment had a very significant effect. real for all variables. Provision of chicken biochar type increased fruit fresh weight in the treatment of chicken biochar, which was 1387.49 g which increased by 18.13% compared to treatment without biochar, which was 1135.92 g, while the fresh weight of fruit at compost dose chicken, namely 1455.13 g, increased by 30.33% compared to the treatment without compost, namely 1013.74 g

3.1 Discussion The results of this study indicate that the highest fresh weight of chili fruit was obtained in the treatment of chicken biochar (Ba), namely 1387.49 g which increased by 18.13% compared to the treatment without biochar (B0), namely 1135.92 g, while the fresh weight of the fruit at The dose of chicken compost (Ka), namely 1455.13 g, increased by 30.33% compared to the treatment without compost (Ko), which was 1013.74 g (Table 2)
Fresh weight of fruit in the treatment of chicken biochar (Ba) was 1387.49 g which increased by 18.13% compared to the treatment without biochar (Bo) which was 1135.92 g, the fresh weight of fruit in the treatment of cow biochar (Bs) was 1191,19 g which increased by 4.64% compared without biochar (Bo) 1135.92 g, fruit fresh weight in the treatment of goat biochar (Bk) was 1223.13 g which increased by 7.16% compared to without biochar (Bo) 1135.92 g, and the fresh weight of fruit at the dose of chicken compost (Ka), namely 1455.13 g, increased by 30.33% compared to the treatment without compost (Ko) which was 1013.74 g
Summary
Red chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a plant that belongs to the Solanaceae plant family. The high need every day makes red chilies a strategic commodity. Based on data from [2] the production of red chili in Bali is 45.155 tons-1, while in Badung Regency the production of red chili is 2.089 tons-1 compared to other districts in Bali, Badung Regency including low red chili production. This encourages farmers to use organic fertilizers which have long-term effects that are good for the soil. The use of biochar organic fertilizer and manure compost can act as a provider of plant nutrients and can improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil
