Abstract
Sago and tofu waste still have high organic content so that it can be used as a planting media. This research is expected to help preserve the environment by reducing waste and using polybags in the cayenne pepper cultivation. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the combination of sago and tofu waste on the growth of cayenne. Research begins with taking sago waste and tofu waste, planting, and treatment. This study uses factorial Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The first factor is planting media, consisting of 5 media. The second factor is the tofu waste concentrations. The parameters of this study are plant growth and yield (wet weight and dry weight). The data is then analyzed by ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) test. The results showed that the interaction between planting media and tofu waste had a significant effect on all parameters. The treatment of planting media and black sago with tofu waste of 30% concentration showed the highest seedling growth in plant height, leaf number and area, wet and dry weight of roots and canopy because these media can provide sufficient nutrients for plants.
