The Effect of Cow Dung Manure Fertilizer on The Growth and Production of Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum var. cayenne)
Abstract
Cayenne pepper is a shrub that grows to a height of approximately 50–135 cm. This plant has an upright growth habit. Cayenne pepper has a primary taproot with lateral roots. Manure is decomposed animal waste, primarily from livestock, that is applied to agricultural land to enhance soil fertility and structure. The nutrient content of manure depends on its source material. This study aims to determine the effect of cow dung fertilizer on the growth and yield of cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum var. cayenne). This study employs an experimental approach using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The collected data were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results showed that cow dung fertilizer had a significant effect on plant height, number of fruits per plant, and fruit weight. However, the number of leaves showed significant differences among treatments, indicating that cow dung fertilizer influenced plant height, number of fruits, and fruit weight but had no effect on leaf count. The P4 treatment (150 g/polybag) was the most effective in promoting cayenne pepper growth.
