<![CDATA[Ornamental chili peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) are a horticultural commodity with both aesthetic and economic value, thus requiring cultivation techniques that can enhance plant growth and yield. This study aimed to evaluate the growth and yield responses of four IPB ornamental chili varieties (Nazla, Ayesha, Violeta, and Syakira) to the application of Aminosan Gold Nutrisi Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC). The study used a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of two experimental series: one without POC application and one with POC application. Each series included the four varieties with three replicates, resulting in a total of 96 plants. The observed parameters included plant growth and yield characteristics. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% significance level. The results showed that POC application produced varying responses across different parameters. POC had a highly significant effect on stem diameter, fruit length, fruit stalk length, fruit diameter, weight per fruit, and weight of fruits per plant, as well as a significant effect on plant height and number of fruits per plant; however, it had no significant effect on dichotomous height, canopy width, leaf length, or leaf width. In general, all varieties showed improved growth and yield, with the Syakira variety exhibiting the best response for most yield components. This study can serve as a reference for the development of ornamental chili cultivation through the application of POC.Keywords: Growth, IPB varieties, ornamental chili peppers, POC Aminosan Gold Nutrients, yield.]]>
