Abstract:Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a horticultural commodity with high economic value and continuously increasing market demand. The success of cayenne pepper production is largely determined by vegetative growth…
in the early stages, which is influenced by the availability of nutrients and plant growth regulators. The use of manure as a source of organic matter and natural Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) is expected to enhance vegetative growth. This study aimed to determine the effect of manure application and natural PGRs on the vegetative growth of cayenne pepper and to identify the treatment that produces the best growth.The research was conducted from December to January 2026 at the land of the Kopbun Suka Tani Sejahtera Business Research Center, Kota Juang District, Bireuen Regency. The study used a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with a 4 × 3 pattern and three replications. The first factor was the dosage of manure consisting of 0 kg (control), 1 kg, 1.5 kg, and 2 kg per plant. The second factor was the type of natural PGR, consisting of shallot extract, rice water, and coconut water. The observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, and number of branches at 15, 30, and 45 days after planting (DAP). Data were analyzed using the F-test and continued with the Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test at a 5% significance level if the results were significant.The results showed that manure application had no significant effect on all vegetative growth parameters up to 45 DAP. The application of natural PGRs also showed no significant effect at 15, 30, and 45 DAP, as well as on other parameters. There was no significant interaction between manure and natural PGRs on all observed parameters.
Abstract:This study aims to determine the effect of manure dosage and types of plant growth regulators (PGRs), as well as their interaction, on the generative phase of bird’s eye chili plants (Capsicum frutescens L.) in order to…
o improve productivity, which remains fluctuating due to suboptimal cultivation practices. The research was conducted from February to March 2026 at the experimental field of the Pusat Riset Bisnis Kopbun Suka Tani Sejahtera, Kota Juang District, Bireuen Regency, using a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) of 4 × 3 with three replications. The first factor was the dosage of manure (control, 1 kg/plant, 1.5 kg/plant, and 2 kg/plant), while the second factor was the type of natural PGR (onion extract, rice water, and coconut water). Data were collected through direct observations on several parameters, including number of fruits, fruit weight, fresh biomass weight, root fresh weight, and root length, and were then analyzed to determine the effects of treatments and their interactions.
The results showed that certain doses of manure had a significant effect on increasing yield and root growth, while natural PGRs were able to enhance flowering, reduce flower drop, and accelerate fruit formation. The interaction between both treatments indicated that the optimal combination produced higher results compared to single treatments. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a combination of manure and natural PGRs based on local materials as a strategy to improve the generative phase. The implications of this research are expected to serve as a scientific reference for the development of sustainable cultivation techniques, as well as learning material and further research in the fields of agronomy and horticulture.
Abstract:This study aimed to analyze the response of several cayenne pepper varieties (Capsicum frutescens L.) on the growth and yield of cayenne pepper cultivated in the cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) alley cropping system. The research…
arch was conducted from April to July 2025 at Mon Jambe Village, Jeumpa District, and the Kopbun Suka Tani Sejahtera Business Research Center, Kota Juang District, Bireuen Regency. The experiment employed a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four varieties as treatments and three replications, resulting in 12 experimental units. The tested varieties were Rajo, Genie, Bara, and Tetra Hijau. Data were collected through observations of plant height, number of leaves, number of fruits, fruit weight, and fresh biomass weight, and were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine differences among treatments. The results showed that the varietal factor had a highly significant effect on leaf number and a significant effect on fruit number and fruit weight. The Bara variety exhibited the most adaptive and productive performance under the cocoa alley cropping system, as indicated by superior vegetative growth and yield compared to other varieties. The novelty of this study lies in emphasizing that varietal selection is a key factor in optimizing the utilization of cocoa alley spaces for cayenne pepper cultivation. These findings are expected to provide a scientific basis for developing cayenne pepper cultivation technologies in cocoa alley systems and to serve as a reference for further research on adaptive variety development under such environmental conditions.
Abstract:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh intensitas salinitas terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens L). Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) non faktorial dengan…
gan satu faktor yaitu intensitas salinitas yang terdiri atas 5 taraf: 0 ppm (kontrol), 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm, 2000 ppm, dan 2500 ppm NaCl, dengan 3 ulangan. Parameter yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah buah, berat buah, dan panjang akar. Data dianalisis menggunakan sidik ragam (ANOVA) dan dilanjutkan dengan uji BNJ 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan intensitas salinitas berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap seluruh parameter pengamatan. Salinitas 2500 ppm menurunkan tinggi tanaman sebesar 38,4%, jumlah buah 45,7%, berat buah 49,2%, dan panjang akar 41,6% dibandingkan kontrol. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi NaCl yang diberikan, semakin besar penurunan pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman cabai rawit.
Abstract:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis biaya dan potensi keuntungan dalam budidaya tanaman cabe di Desa Tegalarum, Kecamatan Sempu. Analisis ini mencakup biaya sewa lahan, pengolahan tanah, penggunaan bahan dan pupuk,…
k, serta biaya tenaga kerja yang diperlukan dalam proses budidaya cabe. Sewa lahan ¼ hektar dihargai Rp. 3.000.000, dengan biaya pengolahan tanah sebesar Rp. 4.000.000. Penggunaan plastik mulsa sebanyak 32 kg yang dihargai Rp. 30.000 per kg, serta pupuk NPK Mutiara sebanyak 100 kg seharga Rp. 1.300.000, menjadi komponen penting dalam persiapan awal tanam. Pupuk susulan menggunakan Pupuk Caliber 400 kg seharga Rp. 200.000 per 100 kg. Penggunaan obat-obatan meliputi peptisida Abamektin, Fungisida Bion M, dan Antracol. Dalam hal tenaga kerja, setiap hari diperlukan satu orang dengan gaji harian Rp. 100.000, dan pada saat panen, delapan orang dibutuhkan. Harga jual cabe diperkirakan mencapai Rp. 22.000 per kg. Berdasarkan komponen biaya dan hasil yang diperoleh, analisis ini memberikan gambaran mengenai keuntungan yang dapat diperoleh dari usaha budidaya cabe di desa tersebut, serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan dan profitabilitas usaha tersebut.
