Pengaruh Jarak Tanam dan Jenis Tanaman Sela terhadap Pertumbuhan Lada Perdu Serta Hasil Tanaman Sela

摘要

Growing of intercrops planted among of bushy pepper cultivation is one of strategies in optimizing agricultural resources utilization and increasing farmers\u27 income. The experiment was conducted at Cahaya Negeri Experimental Station, from 2010 until 2011. The experiment was aimed to investigate the compatibility of bushy pepper growing and the kind of intercrops to support the growth and increase in yield of the crop and additional income from the intercrops. The factorial design based randomized complete block with three replication was used in this study. The first factor was bushy pepper spacing (J) consisted of four levels : (J1) 1 m x 3 m, (J2) 1 m x 4 m, (J3) 2 m x 3 m, and (J4) 2 m x 4 m. The second factor was the kind of intercrops (S) consisted of two levels : (S1) Peanut and (S2) Mungbean. Result showed that : (1) The 1 m x 3 m of bushy pepper spacing is quite suitable for growing peanut or mungbean as intercrops based on vegetative and generative growth measures of bushy pepper and maximize in yields and additional income from the intercrops, and (2) peanut and mungbean were suggested to be intercrops in bushy pepper growing in rotation of cropping system, whereas peanut and mungbean should be planted within the vegetative and generative phases of bushy pepper, respectively.
