Influence of biostimulants and media compositions on growth and yield of Capsicum annuum L. under drought stress conditions

The study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of Agricultural Faculty, University Jambi, Indonesia, from April through to September 2019. aim this investigate effect biostimulants media compositions on growth yield chili pepper during restricted soil water content. arranged in a split plot design with 3 replicates (groups). Different types (Citorin®, Hantu®, control) were designated as main plot, whereas (2:2:1, 2:1:1, 1:2:1 1:1:2) made soil+trichocompost+rice husk charcoal employed sub plot. At time transplanting, content set approximately 75% field capacity create stress conditions. results showed that proper choice biostimulant medium composition could increase nutrient status, total sugar chlorophyll contents, reduce proline level plants grown under availability. Citorin® application organic (soil+trichocompost+rice charcoal) ratio 2:1:1 be recommended support plant production drought
