The effect of mycorrhizal inoculation and liquid organic fertilizer on growth and yield of red chili

Red chili is one of the strategic horticultural commodities in Indonesia. Improved cultivation technology required to increase production red chili. This research aim determines optimal dosage arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and concentration liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) growth yield The was designed a Factorial Randomized Complete Block. first factor mycorrhizae with three dosages levels: 0, 5, 10 g plant -1 . other 4 level concentrations 10, 15 ml l result shows that inoculation root absorption area. Liquid increased nutrient sources for plants improved physical, biological, chemical soil. Mycorrhizal LOF chili, there were height, number branches, stem diameter, header width, leaf area index. components also fruit, fruit length, weight, productivity. highest productivity resulted by treatment AMF (11.16 t ha ), 33% higher than without treatment.
