Growth and Yield of Red Chili at various Doses of Chicken Manure Using Conventional and Floating Cultivation Techniques

The aimed of this study was to determine the effect chicken manure application on red chili plants using conventional and floating cultivation techniques. research carried out experimental farm for techniques in pond located Faculty Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, Indralaya Campus, Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra with an altitude 10 m above sea level from July November 2022. experiment used a randomized block design one factor, namely (0, 10, 20 30 tons/ha) three replications. While 200 cm x 100 bamboo rafts. Parameters observed included plant height, number leaves, crown diameter, fruit length, weight per fruit, total plant. Data were analyzed Analysis Variance (ANOVA) at 5% level. results showed that increasing dose up tons/ha both increased height leaves. Likewise obtained same techniques, tons/ha. However, length diameter parameters higher all doses treatments. Therefore, it concluded use could increase growth although size polybags not support yields optimally.
