Application of MKP fertilizer (mono kalium phospate) and solid organic fertilizer rabbit on the growth and production of chilli (Capsicum frutescens L.)

Abstract

This study aims to obtain the formulation of Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) fertilizer and fermented rabbit solid manure at the most appropriate dose for the growth and production of chili plants. This research is a factorial experiment with a randomized block block design (RAK) with 2 factors being tried. In the first factor, MKP fertilizer consists of 3 levels: M 1 = 2 g.l-1 water, M 2 = 4 g.l-1 water, M 3 = 6 g.l-1 water,. The second factor is the dose of rabbit solid fertilizer with 3 levels: P 1 = 10 tons ha-1, P 2 = 20 tons ha-1, P 3 = 30 tons ha-1. The interaction between the application of MKP fertilizer (M) and fermented rabbit solid manure (P) had no significant effect (P³0.05) on all observed variables. The highest production per hectare of MKP fertilizer treatment was obtained at a dose of 6 g.l-1 water of 6.32 tons, significantly different from doses of 2 g.l-1 water and 4 g.l-1 water with a value of 5.36 tons and 5.43 tons, respectively.&nbsp
