Growth and production of three chili varieties with liquid organic fertilizer application

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the best concentration of liquid organic fertilizer on the growth and production of three chili varieties. An experiment was conducted with a Split Plot Design. The first factor was the seed variety, namely the variety of Dewata, Bara, and Maruti. The second factor was the concentration of SNN liquid organic fertilizer with a concentration of 0 cc L−1, 3 cc L−1, 4 cc L-1, 5 cc L−1. The results showed that the Liquid Organic Fertilizer treatment affected several observed parameters. The Maruti variety had the highest plant height of 59.39 cm and was significantly different from the other treatments, the flowering age parameter also showed that the Maruti variety showed an average the average age of the fastest flowering was at age 52.08 day after planting and significantly different in other treatments. The fruit length parameter showed that Bara variety has the longest fruit length (1.48 cm) and was significantly different from other treatments. There was an interaction between liquid organic fertilizer with seed varieties on the parameters of production with the highest production per hectare was achieved by the dose of 5 cc L−1 liquid fertilizer and Maruti varieties. The value was 1 ton per hectare.
