Increasing the Growth and Production of Chili Plants (Capsicum annum var longum) by administering various Concentrations and Doses of JAKABA Biofertilizer
Abstract
Chile is a commodity characterized by volatile prices and is a significant contributor to inflation in the Indonesian economy. The agricultural sector faces several challenges, including technical cultivation issues, pest and disease infestations, and low productivity. An innovative fertilization approach utilizing Jakaba biofertilizer, derived from fermented organic matter rich in nutrients and microbes, was explored to address these challenges. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Jakaba in cultivating chili plants. This research used a factorial method with a completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor was the dosage of Jakaba fertilizer, which consisted of three levels: 100 ml, 200 ml, and 300 ml. The second factor was the fertilizer concentration, with 20 ml/L, 50 ml/L, 90 ml/L, and 140 ml/L. The results indicated that the application of Jakaba biofertilizer, in terms of both concentration and dosage, had a similar effect on all growth parameters of chili plants. The microbiological analysis involved isolating microbes from the biological fertilizer yielded 10 microbial isolates, comprising 4 fungal isolates and 6 bacterial isolates. The study revealed a carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio 6.598, indicating that the fertilizer had undergone decomposition and contained low nutrient content. Nutrient analysis showed an organic carbon content of 0.239%, total nitrogen of 0.0365%, a C/N ratio of 6.598, a P2O5 value of 0.02125%, and a total potassium (K) value of 0.0205%.
