OPTIMASI KALIUM SULFAT(K2SO4) DAN PUPUK KANDANG TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI CABAI MERAH (Capsicumannuum L.)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the awarding of Potassium Sulfate optimization and Manure on the growth and production of red peppers ( Capsicum annuum L ) . The design used was a factorial randomized block design ( RAK - F ) with the first factor is the provision of Potassium Sulfate ( K₂SO₄ ) ( K ) consisting of 0 grams / liter of water ( K₀) , 0.5 g / liter of water ( K₁ ) , 1 grams / liter of water ( K₂ ) and 1.5 g / liter of water ( K₃ ) , while the second factor is the provision of manure ( P ) consisting of 0 kg / plant ( P₀) , 20 ton / ha = 6.7 kg / plot ( P₁) and 25 tonnes / ha = 8.4 kg / plot ( P₂ ) . Variables measured were plant height , stem diameter , number of fruit crops , planting fruit weight and dry weight . The results Fertilizer Potassium Sulfate ( K₂SO₄ ) has significant effect on the variables plant height , stem diameter , number of fruit crops , planting fruit weight and fruit dry weight . Manure does not provide any real effect on all the variables of observation , as well as a combination of the two treatments.
