Abstract

The intercropping system is an agricultural technique that can enhance land-use efficiency and crop yields. This study aims to analyze the benefits of intercropping chili peppers (Capsicum frutescens) with sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata) in Nias. The research was conducted through a field experiment using a randomized block design (RBD), comparing intercropping with a monoculture system. Observed parameters included plant growth, yield, land equivalent ratio (LER), pest infestation, and economic benefits. The results showed that the intercropping system had an LER of 1.48, indicating higher efficiency than monoculture. The average height of chili plants in the intercropping system reached 55.2 cm, while the yield was 6.3 kg/m², slightly lower than in monoculture (7.5 kg/m²). However, total income from the intercropping system was higher, reaching IDR 20,200,000/ha, compared to chili monoculture (IDR 15,000,000/ha) and sweet corn monoculture (IDR 8,400,000/ha). Additionally, intercropping reduced pest infestations on chili plants compared to monoculture. Therefore, intercropping chili peppers and sweet corn is recommended as a more productive, sustainable, and economically beneficial farming alternative for farmers in Nias.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effects of various types of organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea). Several studies have shown that the application of organic fertilizers—such as chicken manure, rice straw compost, and liquid organic fertilizer (POC)—significantly increases the vegetative and generative growth of plants. This occurs because organic fertilizers improve soil structure, increase water retention capacity, and provide essential nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). The combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers is known to produce yields up to 59.43% higher than without fertilizer. In addition, the use of organic fertilizers supports environmental sustainability and increases the activity of soil microorganisms that play a role in the decomposition and mineralization of nutrients. Therefore, the use of organic fertilizers is an important strategy in realizing a sustainable and productive agricultural system.
