EFEKTIVITAS PUPUK ORGANIK PADAT KASGOT TERHADAP PRODUKTIVITAS CABAI PELANGI (Capsicum annum L. Varietas Ayesha)

ABSTRAK Efek dari penggunaan pupuk sintetis berlebihan oleh petani akan merusak struktur dan nutrisi alami tanah. Petani mengolah bahan organik menjadi kompos dengan memanfaatkan kasgot. Kasgot berasal dari larva lalat Black Soldier Fly (BSF yaitu jenis serangga pengurai sisa bahan organik. Kasgot memiliki nutrisi seperti N, P, K dan C-organik. Keterbaruan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengaplikasikan kasgot ke tanaman cabai pelangi (Capsicum annum L. Varietas Ayesha). Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui efektivitas pupuk organik padat kasgot terhadap produktivitas Cabai Pelangi (Capsicum annum L.Varietas Ayesha) pada parameter tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, jumlah cabang produktif, waktu munculnya bunga pertama, jumlah bunga, jumlah bunga menjadi buah, bobot basah buah (gr). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 6 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. P0 (tanpa pupuk), P1 (10 gram pupuk NPK mutiara), P2 (kasgot 5 gram), P3 (kasgot 10 gram), P4 (kasgot 15 gram), P5 (kasgot 20 gram). Data yang diproleh dianalisis dengan uji nonparametrik Kruskal-wallis. Hasil analisis kandungan kasgot yaitu N 0,49%, P 0,73%, K 1,25%, C-organik 20,47%, pH 5,78, kadar air 56,46% dan rasio C/N 41,27. Kesimpulan bahwa N, P, K, kadar air dan rasio C/N tersebut belum memenuhi standar SNI�7763:2018. C-organik dan pH pupuk tersebut sudah mencapai SNI. Semua perlakuan menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan. Hasil pengamatan dan analisis yang dilakukan menunjukkan hasil perlakuan yang paling terbaik yaitu pada P1 (dosis 10gr pupuk sintetis) dengan hasil tertinggi terhadap semua parameter tanaman cabai pelangi, sedangkan pupuk kasgot berpengaruh pada P3 dosis 10 gram kasgot dengan berat buah 13 gram.

L’varietas ayesha), kasgot, produktvitas iv ABSTRACT The effects of excessive use of synthetic fertilizers by farmers will damage the natural structure and nutrients of the soil. Farmers process organic matter into compost by utilizing Kasgot. Kasgot comes from the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF), which is a type of insect that decomposes organic matter. Kasgot has nutrients such as N, P, K and C-organic. The novelty of this research is applying Kasgot to rainbow chili plants (Capsicum annum L. Varietas Ayesha) The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Kasgot solid organic fertilizer on the productivity of Chili Pelangi (Capsicum annum L. Varietas Ayesha) on plant height parameters, number of leaves, number of productive branches, time of first flower emergence, number of flowers, number of flowers turning into fruit wet weight of fruit (gr). This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications: P0 (without fertilizer), P1 (10 grams of pearl NPK fertilizer), P2 (5 grams cast), P3 (10 grams of fertilizer). grams), P4 (15 grams), P5 (20 grams). The data obtained were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test. The results of the analysis of Kasgot content were N 0.49%, P 0.73%, K 1.25% , C-organic 20.47%, pH 5.78, ka 56.46% of water and 41.27 C/N ratio. The conclusion is that the N, P, K, water content and the C/N ratio have not met the SNI-7763:2018 standard. C-organic and pH of the fertilizer has reached SNI. All treatments showed significant differences. The results of observations and analyzes carried out showed the results of P-Value > 0.005 The best treatment was at P1 (dose of 10gr synthetic fertilizer) with the highest yield on all parameters of rainbow chili plants, while Kasgot fertilizer has an effect on P3 at a dose of 10 grams of Kasgot with a fruit weight of 13 grams.
