Abstract

Red chili is a strategic commodity, production consistency in quality and quantity is needed. Peatland with all its limitations has the potential to be used as an area for chili crop development, but appropriate land management technology is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using mulch and amelioration and fertilization for chili plants in peatlands during the rainy season. The research was conducted at Landasan Ulin, Banjarbaru. The treatments were: The use of mulch (without mulch and silver black plastic mulch) and a combination of inorganic and amelioration fertilizer doses (P1 = 50% model of inorganic fertilizer + 15 t ha−1 manure), P2 = 50% model of inorganic fertilizer + 30 t manure ha−1), P3 = Model 100% Inorganic Fertilizer + Manure 15 t ha−1), P4 = Model 100% Inorganic Fertilizer + Manure 30 t ha−1, P5 = Farmer Model. The results showed that the use of black silver mulch combined with 325 kg ha−1 urea, 225 kg ha−1 SP 36 and 200 kg KCl kg ha−1 KCl and 30 t ha−1a manure showed fruit yields of chili plants reached 15 t ha−1.
