Abstract:
Chili is a horticultural crop that is in demand by most of the people of Indonesia, is widely used for household and industry so that the chili demand continues to increase every year.
Parallel to the decreasing availability of arable land, the expansion of the agricultural area is directed to the peat, as peat soil organic matter content is high enough (Suryadinata, 2009). Many organic materials containing cellulose decomposed difficult. Additionally peat soil fertility is low, which is classified as very acidic soil pH (4.3) with N-total (0.04%) and KB (7.13%) is very low, while the CEC (38 me/100g) is high. Elements of P in the soil is around the criteria were (23.63 me/100g) and low K elements (0.231 me/100g) (Suryadinata, 2009).
From the results of the study shows that inorganic fertilizers on peat soil on the production of red chili significant effect on all the parameters the observation
