Abstract

One of the horticultural commodities that are rapidly damaged is red chili. Red chili is one type of vegetable that has fairly high water content. As a result of the high water content, red chilies are easily wilted and rotted. One alternative is through the drying process of fresh red chilies into chili powder using the foam-mat drying method. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical quality of red chili powder with a combination of variations in drying temperature and developer dosage. The results of this study showed that at a drying temperature of 80°C and a 5% developer dose, the fastest drying time was 7-8 hours with the lowest moisture content being 8.44%. The highest yield value (9.08%) was at a drying temperature of 60°C; the value of the degree of fineness (FM) is 0.601; the value of the brightness level (L) is 51.95; the value of yellowness level (b) is 24.26; and the bulk density value is 0.495 g/ml. The highest value of grain size (D) at a drying temperature of 80°C is 0.00512 mm; the value of the level of redness (a) is 30.91; the value of water absorption (DSA) is 2.73 g/ml; and oil absorption (DSM) is 1.23 g/ml

Abstract

Dry land is productive land that can operate all year round, but with minimal water availability it is one of the obstacles for chili farmers. Therefore, the right solution for this problem is by applying drip irrigation techniques. The purpose of this research was to design and test the performance of the design on chili cultivation in dry land. This study used an experimental method with a direct experimental design on community agricultural land, by making 3 treatment groups, namely P1: surface drip irrigation, P2: subsurface drip irrigation, and P3: open channel irrigation. In this study, the parameters to be studied were designing and conducting performance tests on emitter discharge, water drop uniformity, and wetted areas. The results showed that the drip irrigation design consisted of several components, including primary reservoirs, secondary reservoirs, emitters and pressure regulators. The results of the performance test of the drip irrigation technique design can be said to be feasible to apply based on the discharge value and the drop uniformity coefficient, and the growth of chili plants, both with subsurface and above-surface drip irrigation techniques, does not have a significant effect. So it can be concluded that the method of providing water with subsurface and above-surface irrigation is both said to be effective and efficient

Abstract

The use of organic fertilizers in Indonesia is increasing, this is due to the scarcity of synthetic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers have their own challenges in terms of the concentration they contain. In addition, some organic materials that exist today are very abundant, so it needs to be used as organic fertilizer, one of which is betel leaf. However, betel leaf itself is an additional ingredient that can increase the existing nutrient content. In this study, analysis of the macro elements in organic fertilizers was carried out by adding variations in the amount of betel leaf raw material. The research was conducted using variations of betel leaf extract 2%, 4%, and 6%. The test analysis in this study was in the form of N, P, and K levels. The results showed that the highest N content was in the 4% betel leaf variation, which was 0.1%, the highest P content was in the 2% variation, which was 0.04%, and the highest K content was at 2% variation, namely 0.066%. From these results, it can be said that there was no significant effect of the addition of betel leaf extract on the macro-nutrient content of liquid organic fertilizer.
