Growth and Yield Response of Large Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) Tanjung-2 Varieties Due to The Application of a Combination of NPK Fertilizer and Goat Manure Fertilizer on Latosol Soil in Bogor City

Abstract

The obstacles in the cultivation of large chili include factors of  less fertile soils so that production is not optimal, it is necessary to improve the soil by fertilizing. The fertilizesr used are required to be easy to obtain and efficient. The purpose of this research is to get the obtain a combination of goat manure fertilizer and NPK fertilizer doses that gives the highest result of large chili Tanjung-2 varieties in Bogor City. This research was conducted in Kiara Residence, Curug Village, West Bogor, Bogor City with from August, 2021 to January, 2022. The research  used  an  experimental  method  using  a  single  factor Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 10 treatments in 3 replications: A(without fertilizer), B (5tons/ha manure fertilizer+250kg/ha NPK), C (10tons/ha manure fertilizer+250kg/ha NPK), D (15tons/ha manure fertilizer+250kg/ha NPK), E (5tons/ha manure fertilizer+500kg/ha NPK), F (10tons/ha manure fertilizer+500kg/ha NPK), G (15tons/ha manure fertilizer+500kg/ha NPK), H (5tons/ha manure fertilizer+750kg/ha NPK), I (10tons/ha manure fertilizer+750kg/ha NPK) and J (15tons/ha manure fertilizer+750 kg/ha NPK). The results of this study were significantly different effects on the average plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of fruits, fresh weight of fruit per plant, fresh weight of fruit per plot and fruit diameter. Goat manure fertilizer 15 tons/ha and NPK fertilizer 750 kg/ha was able to provide the highest fresh weight of fruit of 5,30 tons per hektar (in three harvestings).
