Abstract

Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) productivity is frequently limited by pest and disease pressure linked to reduced plant resistance from poor soil conditions and micronutrient deficiencies. This study evaluated whether different mulches mitigate disease incidence and improve growth and yield. Objectives were to quantify mulch effects on disease intensity, soil properties, vegetative growth, and fruit yield. A field experiment used a randomized block design with five treatments (P0 = no mulch; P1 = plastic; P2 = baglog; P3 = leaf litter; P4 = rice straw) and five replications. Measured variables included soil pH and moisture, pest population, pest attack intensity (%), disease attack intensity (%), and plant growth and productivity. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Duncen further test (α = 0.05). Results showed that organic mulches reduced disease incidence to 17.2–19.2% versus 28.6% in the no-mulch control. Rice straw and leaf litter significantly improved soil pH and moisture retention; baglog and straw mulches increased branch number and further lowered disease incidence; plastic mulch produced the highest fruit weight per plant. In conclusion, organic mulches particularly rice straw and leaf litter enhance soil conditions and plant resilience, reducing disease and supporting productivity, while plastic mulch maximizes individual-plant yield.

Abstract

Kemiri Village, Panti District, Jember Regency is one of the rice-producing villages but faces the problem of scarcity of subsidized fertilizers and ineffective management of agricultural waste. This needs to be overcome with simple but effective handling. This community service activity aims to empower farmers through the production of Local Microorganisms (MOL) and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) to increase rice productivity while supporting the potential of livestock in the village. The target partner in this activity is the Sidodadi farmer group consisting of 30 farmers. The implementation method includes training in making MOL and PGPR, applying PGPR to rice plants, and making silage as animal feed. The results of the activity show that the activities carried out related to the use of PGPR can help increase rice growth, improve yields, and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers. In addition, making silage successfully processes green fodder into quality feed that supports food security for livestock in the village. In the future, this activity is expected to strengthen the sustainability of agricultural and livestock practices in Kemiri Village and improve the economy of farmers.
