APLIKASI MUSIK KLASIK, POP DAN HARD ROCK TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN VEGETATIF TANAMAN CABAI MERAH KERITING (Capsicum annuum var. longum (DC.) Sendtn)

Abstract

The sound wave technology such as music is a new technology in agriculture that can improve plant growth when it is combined with a liquid fertilizer sprayed through the leaves. This research was aimed to study the effect of the treatment of three different music types to the vegetative growth and to determine the best type of music that may increase the vegetative growth of curly red chili (Capsicum annuum var. longum). This study used a group randomized design with four treatments, i.e. Control (without music), classic, pop and hard rock music treatment. Data was analyzed using variance and followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significant level. The result showed that the treatment of hard rock music was the best music genre to increase the plant height. This music gave a significant effect on the plant height at period of 90 days, with plant height was up to 62,6 cm
