POTENSI MIKROBA ASAL MIKROORGANIME LOKAL DALAM MENINGKATKAN PERKECAMBAHAN BENIH PAPRIKA

ABSTRACT This experiment was continues from the study of biological fertilizers potential’s local microorganisms from the best main raw materials obtained from previous experiments. This experiment used five selected raw materials to make local microorganisms, including: bamboo roots, broccoli leaves, chicken manure, rabbit manure and goat manure, each raw material was made 2 times so that there were 10 local microorganisms samples. The results showed that the highest of total bacterial population were shown by local microorganisms goat manure with a value of 7.2 x 10 5 cfu/ml, then the highest population of  Azotobacter and Azospirillium were shown by local microorganisms rabbit manure with values of 6.4 x 10 4 cfu/ml and 3.5 x 10 3  cfu/ml and total fungi populations was local microorganisms goat manure with a value of 4.7 x 10 3 propagules/ml. In the pathogenicity test, 9 nine bacterial isolates were obtained, 25 Azotobacter isolates, 15 Azospirillium isolates were proven to provide negative responses to the pathogenicity test. Furthermore, in the seed nursery test, only 33 microbial isolates were obtained which could support the growth of paprika seeds with the best results were shown by aquadest water control, 4B-1 NFB, 5A-1 NFB, and 1A-2 NFB isolates respectively.
