Growth and production of Katokkon (Capsicum chinense Jacq) chili plants in lowland applied with gibberellins and liquid organic fertilizer

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the growth and production of katokkon chili plants (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) in the application of gibberellins and liquid organic fertilizer. This research was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar from May to October 2017. The research was conducted in the form of a two-factors factorial experiment. The first factor was gibberellins consisted of four levels namely 0 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm and 75 ppm, and the second factor was liquid organic fertilizer consisted of three levels of 25 ml L−1, 50 ml L−1 and 75 ml L−1 with three replications. Results of the study show that application of gibberellins on the local chili plant of katokkon interacted with liquid organic fertilizer improved the vegetative growth of the plant. Gibberellin also significantly affected the production parameters of the local chili plant. The fruit weight per plant and per hectare decreased with the increased of gibberellin dosages. No significant effect of the use of liquid organic fertilizer found, however, the treatment of 75 ml L−1 showed better results in several research parameters.

Identification of DNA Barcodes from rbcL Chloroplast DNA in Katokkon Chili (Capsicum annuum var. chinense) Origin of Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi

“…1). Cignore katokkon it only grows well in the highlands with altitudes ranging from 1000-1500 meters above sea level and is susceptible to temperatures around 16-24 °C [13]. Rain intensity required for optimal growth is around 1500-3500 mm/year with humidity around 82-86%.…”

The potential and the quality of several open pollinated chili varieties seed production

“…Information related to seeds of various chili such as Habanero chili and Katokkon chili (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) [22,23], Ancho and Guajillo chili (Capsicum annuum L.) [24][25][26], Capsicum frutescens L. [27,28], Capsicum baccatum [29] have been reported. Likewise, reports related to seed productions of local chili varieties (Odeng, Lanyoe, Super Amando, and Lamando Lapaben from Aceh [30]; Katokkon chili from Sulawesi [23]; Pulau Timor [31]) or nasional varieties (IPB CH1, IPB CH2, IPB CH3, IPB CH4, IPB CH5, IPB CH6, IPB CH25, IPB CH28, and IPB CH50 varieties owned by IPB University [32]; UNIB C H73, UNIB C H65, and UNIB C H13 varieties owned by Universitas Bengkulu [33]; CK5 variety owned by Universitas Padjadjaran [31]; PM999, Kiyo [34], or Arimbi [35] varieties owned by private companies have also been reported.…”

Information related to the potential and quality of seeds owned by the Ministry of Agriculture already exists but there are still few who report as a whole related to the potential productions and seed qualities [36][37][38][39][40].…”

Combination of bio-organo-mineral fertilizers on optimizing the growth and production of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in dryland environment

“…PGR can improve the process of photosynthesis, root growth, and fruit production in tomato. Research has shown that the use of a combination of LOF and PGR in plant cultivation can improve the quality and quantity of soluble sugars, vegetative and generative growth (Suherman et al, 2017;Gao et al, 2020;Kasim et al, 2020). The PGR is directly involved in regulating senescence, flowering, seed germination, regulating physiological processes, and increasing fruit formation (Zahid et al, 2023).…”
