Pengaruh Pemberian Kompos Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) dan PUpuk Organik Cair Dari Limbah Kulit Buah terhadap Pertumbuhan Tanaman Cabai Merah (Capsicum annum L.)

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian kompos Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) dan Pupuk Organik Cair dari limbah kulit buah terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman cabai merah (capsicum annum L.). penelitian dilakukan pada bulan November tahun 2024 – Mei tahun 2025 di Desa Sei Mencirim Kecamatan kutalimbaru Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Penelitian disusun dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) faktorial dengan 2 kali ulangan. Perlakuan yang dilakukan adalah tanpa perlakuan Kompos TKKS dan POC (P0B0), P0B1 (250 gram kompos TKKS), P0B2 (500 gram kompos TKKS), P0B3 (750 gram kompos TKKS), P1B0 (10 ml POC), P1B1 (10 ml POC + 250 gram kompos TKKS ), P1B2 (10 ml POC + 500 gram kompos TKKS), P1B3 (10 ml POC + 750 gram kompos TKKS), P2B0 (20 ml POC), P2B1 (20 ml POC + 250 gram kompos TKKS), P2B2 (20 ml POC + 500 gram kompos TKKS), P2B3 (20 ml POC + 750 gram kompos TKKS), P3B0 (30 ml POC), P3B1 (30 ml POC + 250 gram kompos TKSS), P3B2 (30 ml POC + 500 gram kompos TKKS), P3B3 (30 ml POC + 750 gram kompos TKKS). Pengaruh perlakuan tersebut dianalisis menggunakan analisis sidik ragam (ANOVA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi Kompos TKKS dan POC berpengaruh nyata terhadap produksi tanaman tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman dan diameter batang tanaman cabai merah (Capsicum annum L.) This study aims to determine the effect of Empty Fruit Bunch Compost (EFB) and Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC) from fruit peel waste on the growth of red chili (Capsicum annuum L.) plants. The study was conducted from November 2024 to May 2025 in Sei Mencirim Village, Kutalimbaru District, Deli Serdang Regency. The study was designed using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two replications. The treatments given were: without OPEFB compost and without POC (P0B0), P0B1 (250 grams of OPEFB compost), P0B2 (500 grams of OPEFB compost), P0B3 (750 grams of OPEFB compost), P1B0 (10 ml POC), P1B1 (10 ml POC + 250 grams of OPEFB compost), P1B2 (10 ml POC + 500 grams of OPEFB compost), P1B3 (10 ml POC + 750 grams of OPEFB compost), P2B0 (20 ml POC), P2B1 (20 ml POC + 250 grams of OPEFB compost), P2B2 (20 ml POC + 500 grams of OPEFB compost), P2B3 (20 ml POC + 750 grams of OPEFB compost), P3B0 (30 ml POC), P3B1 (30 ml POC + 250 grams of compost TKKS), P3B2 (30 ml POC + 500 grams of TKKS compost), and P3B3 (30 ml POC + 750 grams of TKKS compost). The effect of these treatments was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the application of TKKS compost and POC significantly affected plant yields, but did not significantly affect plant height or stem diameter of red chili plants (Capsicum annuum L.).
