Abstract
Katokkon chili pepper is a local variety that originated in Toraja and has a very high economic value. A problem faced in agriculture is the difficulty of getting seeds to germinate evenly. The purpose of this study was to increase the germination and growth of chili peppers by using a seed priming technique with gold snail liquid organic fertilizer. The survey was conducted from August 2021 to February 2022 in Buntudatu Village, Tana Toraja District, South Sulawesi Province, at an altitude of 900 m above sea level. The theme of the group is environmental. This experiment consisted of two factors.The first was his 3-step cultivar, and the second was the subplot, the concentration (T) of the liquid organic fertilizer solution, which consisted of 5 steps. We then chose the 3 optimal concentrations from these 5 concentrations and repeated 3 times for each treatment, so we had 27 experimental units. The results showed that treatment with the Katokkon pepper variety affected the residual fruit weight (89.97 g). The best results were obtained by treatment with the Leatung 2 (V3) variant and priming with liquid organic gold snail fertilizer at a concentration of 20 ml per liter of water.
