Abstract

Pemanfaatan kitosan asap cair dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan cabai rawit merah Capsicum frutescens penting dipelajari karena kebutuhan cabai rawit merah meningkat setiap tahunnya namun tidak disertai dengan peningkatan produktifitas yang seimbang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dosis kitosan asap cair yang paling optimal dalam mendukung pertumbuhan cabai rawit merah. Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) faktorial menggunakan empat ulangan dengan pemberian dosis kitosan asap cair sebesar 5, 7,5, 10, 12,5 dan 15% digunakan dalam penelitian. Parameter yang diamati adalah rasio C/N tanah, tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, berat kering tanaman. Sebelum ditanam selama delapan minggu, biji cabai direndam dalam larutan akuades dan kitosan asap cair. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan dosis kitosan asap cair sebesar 7,5% dan 10% menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang paling optimal berdasarkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, berat kering tanaman dibandingkan dosis lainnya.
