Abstract

Background: Organic fertilizers is able to maintain the balance of the land and improve land productivity as well as reducing the environmental impact of land.

This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a liquid treatment factors limbar cow urine at levels as follows: P0 = control, ML P1 = 25, P2 = 50 ML and P3 = 75 ML. Each treatment was repeated 3 times. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and if there is an influence, it will be followed by Least Significant Difference Test (BNT) at significance level of 5% and 1%.

Results: The results showed that administration of cow urine liquid waste significant effect on the growth of large red pepper plant, that plant height, fruit number and weight of the fruit harvest.
