THE INFLUENCE OF COCOPEAT AND EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS ON THE GROWTH OF PLANTING MEDIA OF CAYYET CHILDREN (Capsicum Frutescens L)

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of giving EM4 and cocopeat on the growth of cayenne pepper plants. This research was carried out at the Workshop on Jln. Avoid it. Jeuleukat Blang mangat, Lhokseumawe. This research used 5 specified material treatments, namely: 5kg yellow soil, 3kg cow dung, 50g brown sugar while the materials varied were V.1 (Cocopeat 200g/ EM4 5ml), V.2 (Cocopeat 400g/ EM4 10ml), V. 3 (Cocopeat 600g/ EM4 15ml), V.4 (Cocopeat 800g/ EM4 20ml). V.5 (Cocopeat 1000g/ EM4 25ml). The parameters tested were (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), plant height and leaf width. Based on this research, it shows that the Nitrogen content is 0.56%, Phosphorus 0.24%, Potassium 0.05%, while in statistical testing the stem height is V.1= 34cm, V.2= 35cm, V.3= 33cm, V .4= 31.8cm, V.5= 28.8cm. then the statistical test results for leaf width are V.1= 8.4 cm, V.2= 8.9cm, V.3= 9.1cm, V.4= 7.8cm, V.5= 9.8cm. From this research it can be concluded that research using composition V.2 is more dominant in stem height growth, while composition V.5 is more dominant in leaf growth. The test results for the nutrients contained in the planting media do not yet meet SNI 7763.2018 standards
