Application of organic fertilizer types in intercropping system red onions with chilli

Abstract

The research aims to obtain intercropping results by providing organic fertilizer combined with planting patterns. The research was conducted in the Subak Sampalan Delod Margi rice fields, Dawan District, Klungkung. This is a factorial experiment with a Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of two factors, namely the type of organic fertilizer (J), 3 levels J1 = Kerambitan agro organic fertilizer; J2 = rabbit cage fertilizer; J3 = Lemeksari compost fertilizer and planting pattern, 3 levels, namely P1 = monoculture; P2= intercropping 1:1; P3= intercropping 2:1. The results showed that the interaction of organic fertilizer type with planting pattern had no significant effect on all observed variables. The highest fresh weight of onion bulbs per hill and fresh weight of cayenne pepper fruit were obtained with the Kerambitan Agro organic fertilizer type, increasing by 10.93% and 10.64% compared to the rabbit manure type. The intercropping system is more profitable than monoculture because land productivity is higher and various commodities are produced, saving production facilities, and the risk of failure is reduced.
