“…In an organic horticultural farming system, compost tea as a liquid organic formula derived from compost extract not only increases the productivity of the genus Capsicum, but it is also known to significantly increase the growth and development of tomato, melon, and potato plants as seen from various plant growth parameters, such as root length, stem diameter, number of leaves, and fresh biomass. Giving compost tea to potato plants also reduces susceptibility to disease infections Rhizoctonia solani (Villecco et al, 2020;González-Hernández et al, 2022). Tomato plant that given by compost tea once a week showed a suppressive effect against pathogenic fungal attacks Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum, as well as increasing the dry weight of tomato plants by threefold (Morales-Corts et al, 2018).…”

Chili pepper (Capsicum frustescens) is herbaceous plant from the family Solanaceae which is massively cultivated in Indonesia. It also can be used as raw material for food product and pharmacy industries. Organic fertilizer usage has been both a solution to increase productivity and a replacement to chemical fertilizer usage. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of compost tea organic fertilizer and JADAM Microorganism Solution (JMS) on the growth of chili pepper in PT. Cinquer Agro Nusantara, Bangka Belitung. This research used a completely randomized design with 15 unit treatments which were divided into control group, compost tea group, and JMS group. The result showed that the plant group with JMS performed the highest height expansion, increasing the number of leaves significantly compared to control and compost tea group. This study concludes that application of compost tea and JADAM Microorganism Solution (JMS) as organic fertilizer on C. frustescens can increase the plant’s growth.Keywords : chili pepper, compost tea, JADAM microorganism solution

“…Treatments with aerated CTs increase by 24% and 32% production of lettuce and kohlrabi, respectively, cultivated under greenhouse [20]. Positive effects on the growth and production of pepper [5,14,39] and on potato [40][41][42][43] were registered in different experiments and locations. Villecco et al [44] have registered positive effects on growth parameters and vegetative development on tomato, pepper, and melon plantlets cultivated in nurseries.…”

Nowadays, modern agriculture looks for valid, sustainable, and green alternatives that are able to improve and maintain soil quality and fertility over time. Recycling organic waste as fertilizer is one of the strategies for sustainable production. Recently, the use of new products derived from compost, such as compost tea (CT), is increasing due to their positive effects on crops. This perspective wants to give an updated shot at the effect of compost tea in horticulture. In addition to the classification of compost tea, with a focus on production procedures and composition, the possible effects they have both on the control of phytopathogens in horticulture and the influence they can have on the content of bioactive molecules and nutrients were highlighted. It is interesting to note that compost teas can have an effect on the final content of micro and macronutrients, thus improving the nutritional qualities and also increasing the content of bioactive compounds that may play a role in maintaining and improving human health. The combined use of compost tea with other treatments is being explored as a promising and innovative direction.

“…The alternative organic material used as a growing medium, must provide plant stabilization and also retain nutrients and water during plant growth 22 . Several natural peat substitutes have been used, such as coconut fibres, wood fibres, compost and many others 16 , 23 – 26 . Another way to produce alternative substrates is compost of lignin-cellulosic biomass obtained, for instance, from willow Salix viminalis L. grown in a 2–3 year cycle system as Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) 27 , 28 .…”

Willow (Salix viminalis L.) is a species well adapted to the environment conditions of central Europe. It is mainly cultivated for energy purposes as solid fuel. In this study, an evaluation of its suitability for other purposes was made using a 4-year old short rotation coppice (SRC) willow regrowth to produce chipped biomass which was composted. Four composting methods were used: without additives (WC), with the addition of nitrogen to narrow the C:N ratio (WN), with the addition of mycelium (WPG) and with the addition of mycelium and nitrogen (WPGN). A mixture of WC and WPGN composts was also prepared at 75:25% and 50:50% by volume. Composts, different proportion (25, 50 and 75%) of peat (SM) were evaluated for suitability as a substrate for tomato and cucumber transplant production. Tomato transplants produced in the medium were prepared from mixtures of willow composts (WPGN + WC(1) and WPGN + WC(2) and these mixtures with peat (WPGN + WC(1):SM and WPGN + WC(2):SM) were characterised as having the best parameters: plant height, lateral leaf span and number of leaves. Similarly, for cucumber transplants, better growth conditions than in peat substrate were obtained in the variant WPGN + WC(1) and WPGN + WC(1):SM. The addition of nitrogen to the composted biomass positively influenced the composting process. N concentration in the substrate was too high and toxic for the growth of tomato and cucumber transplants. At the end of the tomato and cucumber experiment, the nitrate content was 1510 and 2260 mg dm−3, respectively, in the WN substrate. Similarly, the high N–NO3− content in the composted willow substrate with the addition of nitrogen and mycelium did not promote the growth of tomato and cucumber. Based on this research at least 25% of the mass of the peat can be replaced by different willow composts without having an adverse impact on seedling growth and with some of the willow compost mixtures this could be as high as 50%.
