Abstract

This study was aimed at obtaining chili peppers (Jambi local variety) that were resistant to biotic stress through induced-resistance mechanisms, and obtaining optimal combination of cow bio-urine and tricho-compost composition that support plant growth and yield. This research was conducted from April through to September 2019 at the Plant Diseases and Biological Agents Laboratory, followed by field trial at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture University of Jambi. A Split Plot design was employed in this study with the concentration of cow bio-urine as main plot and composition of tricho-compost as sub plot. The results showed that the application of 60% cow bio-urine on various tricho-compost compositions within growing media was able to induce plant resistance against biotic stress. The number of plants showing disease symptoms ranged from 13.3% to 16.0%, and was classified as mild biotic stress (< 25%). Likewise, the symptom of fruit disease was classified as mild, indicating that plants were resistant to biotic stress. The application of cow bio-urine at various tricho-compost compositions showed a negative linear correlation against total chlorophyll and sugar content. The application of 60% cow bio-urine at different tricho-compost compositions within the growing media produced better growth and yield of chili pepper rather than other combinations. This was indicated by higher number of productive branches, number of flowers and fruit sets, and total weight of fruit per plant. In general, it can be concluded that the use of 60% cow bio-urine in along with 25% tricho-compost within growing media was an optimal combination in inducing biotic stress resistant, as well as promoting growth and yield of chili peppers.
