<![CDATA[The development of pepper shrub requires an additional fertilizer, hence the pepper plants were classified as nutrient voracious. This study aimed to describe changes in vermicompost on soil N, C-organic and pepper shrubs growth in a floating system. This study utilize a Randomized Block Design Factorial, with 5 levels of treatment, V0 (0 g/plant), V1 (250 g/plant), V2 (500 g/plant), V3 (750 g/plant), and V4 (1000 g/plant). The results indicate that the Vermicompost treatment has no significant effect to increase soil C-organic and soil N nutrient. With the vermicompost treatment, the highest result for soil C-organic and soil N nutrient was produced by 1000 g vermicompost/plant. The best enhancement in plant N nutrient was produced by 500 g vermicompost/plant. The average value of the best number of leaves produced by 1000 g vermicompost/plant. Some leaves indicate some symptoms of disease caused by the fungus Phytophthora capsici which then at 12 WAP there were three unsuccessful plants. As a conclusion, the application of vermicompost was able to provide nutrients for pepper shrubs, especially for increasing C-organic, N nutrient of soil and plants as well as the plant growth.]]>
