PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN KONSENTRASI PUPUK DAUN GANDASIL D DAN DOSIS PUPUK GUANO TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN CABAI MERAH (Capsicum annum L.)

Abstract

Red chili is a pretty important horticultural crop in Indonesia. Red chilli needs from year to year increasing in line with the increase in population, but the chili production is still not sufficient. This is evident with the still low level of the average production per hectare. Average production per hectare in East Java 3.52 tons with a range between 1.85 – 6.84 ton/ha in 1993. To increase crop production, the role of pepper cultivation and fertilization is one of the absolute keys. The purpose of this research is to know the influence of the concentration of Gandasil fertilizer organic fertilizer dose D and Bat droppings (Guano) towards the growth and production of Capsicum.       This research was carried out on the Ds. brangsi. KEC. Laren Lamongan. research done by the method of random rancanga groups (RAK) factorial, which consists of two factors and each factor consists of 3 levels. Factors I: fertilizer concentration gandasil D (G) consists of G1 = 1 g/l; G2 = 2 g/l; G3 = 3 g/l and Factor II i.e. a dose of fertilizer guano bat feces (K) consists of KI = 10 tonnes/ha; K2 = 15 tonnes/ha and K3 = 20 tonnes/ha. Conclusion on the results of this penelitihan is, the interaction between the concentration of leaf fertilizers gandasil D and a dose of fertilizer guano on parameter crop high 28, 42 and 56 days after planting, diameter 14, 28 and 42 days after planting, the number of pieces per sample, and the weight of the fruit. The best treatment combination in treatment doses of fertilizer guano by 20 tonnes/ha and mulch the leaves gandasil D of 2 g/l (G2K2).
