Abstract

Pepper (Piper ningrum L.) is one of Indonesia’s most important spice commodities with high economic value. Pepper plants are propagated by vegetative methods using cuttings. Factors The origin of planting material and the application organic fertilizer can support the development of technology to provide good pepper propagation material. This study used Completely Randomized Group Design with two factors: the origin of planting material and organic fertilizers. The origin of planting materials was 2nd (S2), 3rd (S3), 4th (S4) and 5th (S5) node cuttings, while organic fertilizer used were fulvic acid (P1) and biological fertilizer. The results showed that organic fertilizers did not affect all observed parameters, while the origin of plant material affected the percentage of life cuttings, seed height, number of leaves, number of internodes and nodes, and number of branching plants. The origin of plant material that had the best results was the 3rd node cuttings (S3), while the best interaction of fertilizers and cuttings showed by combination of fulvic acid and 3rd node cuttings (P1S3). Further research was needed on the dose and frequency application of organic fertilizer.
