Influence of Polybag Size and Interval of Liquid Organic Fertilizer of Banana Stones on The Growth and Results of Chilli Variety

Indonesian people will feel bland if they eat without chilli, the raw material is chilli, so people still consume chilli even though the price is expensive. This study aims to determine the effect of polybag size and interval of application of liquid organic fertilizer on banana stems on the growth and yield of Dewata's cayenne pepper that is cultivated organically in polybags. This study used a Completely Randomized Block Design (RAKL) with two treatment factors. The results showed that polybag size had a very significant effect on the parameters of plant height, the weight of fresh stover, the weight of dry stover, number of red fruit, number of green fruit and weight of green fruit, and did not significantly affect parameters of number of flowers and weight of red fruit. The interval of POC administration of banana stems had a very significant effect on the parameters of plant height, the weight of fresh stover, the weight of dry stover, number of flowers, number of red fruit, the weight of red fruit, number of green fruit and weight of green fruit. There was no interaction between polybag size and interval of administration of POC banana stems on growth and yield of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens. L) Dewata variety.Masyarakat Indonesia akan merasa hambar jika makan tanpa sambal yang bahan bakunya adalah cabai sehingga masyarakat tetap mengkonsumsi cabai meskipun harganya mahal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ukuran polibag dan interval pemberian pupuk organik cair batang pisang terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil cabai rawit varietas Dewata yang dibudidayakan secara organik dalam polibag. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok Lengkap (RAKL) dengan dua factor perlakuan. hasil penelitian menunjukan ukuran polibag berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap parameter tinggi tanaman, berat brangkasan segar, berat brangkasan kering, jumlah buah merah, jumlah buah hijau dan berat buah hijau, dan tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap parameter jumlah bunga dan berat buah merah. Interval pemberian POC batang pisang berpengaruh sangat nyata pada parameter tinggi tanaman, berat brangkasan segar, berat brangkasan kering, jumlah bunga, jumlah buah merah, berat buah merah, jumlah buah hijau dan berat buah hijau. Tidak ada interaksi antara ukuran polibag dan interval pemberian POC batang pisang terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens.L) varietas Dewata
