Abstract


The rapid pace ofdevelopment and the increase of the population, especially in urban areas, makes the reduction of land used for agriculture as cultivation of agriculture and fisheries. This study aims to determine the response to the use of planting media types in aquaponics system for the vegetative growth of a few varieties red chili (Capsicum annum L.). This research was carried out at growth center from Juni - August 2018. The experiment was carried out using a Randomized Block Design Factorial with 2 factors and 2 blok. The first factor is palnting media consists of 4 planting media (Rockwall, husk charcoal, cocopeat and ferlit). The second factor are varieties consisting of 4 varieties (kirana, pasemah, kopay). Parameters observed ie plant height (cm) and number of leaves (strands). The results showed that the best planting media ie rockwall followed by the application of cocopeat planting media (plant height) and husk charcoal (number of leaves) for the best varieties ie kirana
