Applying Mycorrhiza and Trichoderma harzianum to Increase Chilli Plant Production (Capsicum annum L)
Abstract
Red chili production in Indonesia has fluctuated over the past five years, with a decrease to 1.04 million tons in 2015 and 2016, followed by an increase to 1.20 million tons in 2017. This study aimed to determine the effect of administering mycorrhizal fungi on the growth of chili plants. The materials used in this study included 10% KOH, 50% alcohol, dye (Quink Parker), chili seeds of various varieties (Kharisma), mycorrhizal fertilizers (Glomus sp. and Gigaspora), and Trichoderma harzianum pellets. The tools utilized in this research comprised 15 kg polybags, shovels, measuring tapes, watering cans, analytical scales, soil sieves, hoes, a Nikon Binocular Microscope (model SE 102), petri dishes, sieves, tweezers, glass slides, cover glasses, an oven, a camera, and plastic containers for holding the polybags. The F-test results from the variance analysis indicate that mycorrhizal fungi significantly influence the fruit weight of chili plants at 110 days after planting (DAP) and root infection at 45 DAP. However, there was no significant effect on wet fruit weight, wet root weight, or the number of fruits produced. Additionally, the F-test results demonstrate that Trichoderma has a highly significant effect on the observed variables. Furthermore, the F-test results indicate a significant impact on fruit weight at 110 hours after transplanting (HST) and wet weight at 110 HST.
