PENGARUH PUPUK NPK MUTIARA DAN PUPUK KANDANG SAPI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN CABAI MERAH KERITING VARIETAS ARIMBI (Capsicum annuum L.)

Abstract

The Effect of NPK Mutiara Fertilizer And Cow Manure on the Growth and Yield of Curly Red Chili (Capsicum annuum L.), Arimbi Variety.  Objectives of the research were to know the effect of NPK Mutiara fertilizer and cow manure as well as its interactio on the growth and yield of curly red chili varieties Arimbi.

The research to start was from February 2013 to June 2013, carried out at Asa Gemuhan Village, Barong Tongkok Sub District of West Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan Province.

The research design employed was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with  factorial 3x3 and  five replications. The first factor was application of NPK Mutiara Fertilizer (M), that consisted of three sub-factors : NPK Mutiara fertilizer  150 kg per ha or equal 1.5 g per polybag (m1), 300 kg per ha or equal 3 g per polybag) (m2) and 450 kg per ha or equal 3 g per polybag (m3). And second  factor  was Cow Manure (K), consisted of three sub-faktor : no cow manure (k0), 5 ton per ha or equal 50 g per  polybag (k1) and 10 ton per  ha or equal 100 g per polybag (k2).

Results of the research revealed that the application of NPK Mutiara fertilizer (M) significantly on plant height 40 days and 60 days after planting and age of plant harvested, but did not  affect significantly on age of plant height 20 days after planting, the number of branches, the age of flowering, number of fruits per crop and fruit weight per crop.

The cow manure (K) did not a affected significantly on plant height at 20 days, 40 days and 60 days after planting, the number of branches, age of flowering ,age at harvested, number of fruits per  crop and fruit weight per crop

The interaction between cow manure and NPK Mutiara fertilizer did  not  affected significantly on plant height at 20 days, 40 days and 60 days after planting, the number of branches,  age of flowering, age of harvested, number of fruits per crop and fruit weight per crop.
