The Effectivity of Variation of Liquid Fertilizer With Fruit And Vegetable Resistant Bioactivators on Growth of Capital Plants

Abstract

Chili plant is a vegetable commodity that has high economic value. Based on the National MediumTerm Development Plan (RPJMN) for food and agriculture for 2015-2019, chili is included as one of the 8 main food commodities. Therefore, many farmers have started to develop chili seed production. Inorganic fertilizers are easy to apply, but if they are used excessively they can damage the soil elements, so the production of chili plants is directed to using organic based fertilizers, one of which is liquid fertilizers. One of the advantages of using liquid fertilizer is that it bring important nutrients for soil fertility. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of variations in the concentration of liquid fertilizer with bioactivators of fruit and vegetable residues inorder to obtain good growth and production of cayenne pepper plants. The type of research used in this study is a quantitative approach with experimental methods. The basic designs is a completely randomized design (CRD) with a factorial pattern of 2 x 4 with 3 repetitions. The analysis used is univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. Univariate analysis was used to determine the frequency distribution of each variable in this study, namely stem height, number of leaves and leaf width, while bivariate analysis was used to determine the effectiveness of variations in the concemtration of liquid fertilizer with bioactivators of frut and vegetable residues in order to obtain growth and production of chili plants cayenne.
