| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this experiment was to study the response of the type of
fertilizer on the growth and production of four varieties of chili pepper. The
research was carried out at the Tajur 2 Experimental Station, Tropical
Horticultural Research Center, Bogor Agricultural University, from January to
July 2021. This study used a Split Plot Experimental Design Completely
Randomized Group Design (CRBD). The main plot consisted of four varieties of
red chili pepper consisting of Bonita IPB (V1), Feira IPB (V2), Taruna (V3), and
Cakra Putih (V4). Sub-plots are types of fertilizer consisting of, NPK (16-16-16) +
foliar fertilizer (P1), NPK (15-15-15) (P2), and AB mix (P3). The results show the
diversity of varieties on several observed characters. Bonita IPB variety was
superior to the characters of harvest age and plant height. The characters of
flowering age, stem diameter, leaf length and leaf width, fruit length and fruit
diameter, fruit weight, number of fruit plant, and productivity of Bonita IPB variety
were equivalent to the range of values in the variety description. Taruna variety
was superior in terms of harvest age and plant height. Cakra Putih variety had the
same harvest age and stem diameter as the variety description. Chili pepper plants
treated with NPK fertilizer (16-16-16) + foliar fertilizer showed higher observed
character values in stem diameter, number of branches, and leaf length. Other types
of fertilizers had no effect on the observed characters. There was no difference in
the response of varieties to the type of fertilizer tested. | id |
