| dc.description.abstract | Chilli (Capsicum annum L.) is a horticulture commodity that high demand because it has a high
economic value. The demand for chilli increases every year as the population grows and the industry
grows, requiring chilli as raw materials. The productivity of red chilli in Jember Regency is also low,
only 87.68 quintals hectare-1. Fluctuations in red chilli production in Jember area are caused by several
things, including an unsupportive environment such as declining soil fertility, high pest attacks, and
excessive use of pesticides. Therefore, agricultural development needs to meet food needs and
increase export opportunities to neighbouring countries. The parameters observed in this study were
secondary data from the soil unit map. The secondary data were soil drainage, soil depth in cm, slope
related to erosion, altitude, standing water, soil cation exchange capacity, and soil pH. The
improvement efforts to improve the land suitability class were setting the spacing, giving organic
matter, agricultural lime, phosphorus (P) fertilization, cutting and filling the land with a mound terrace
system or bench terrace to reduce soil erosion. | en_US |
