Red chili cultivation still faces the obstacle of low productivity, so more efficient biofertilization innovations are needed, one of which is through the use of photosynthetic bacteria (PSB). This study aims to evaluate the effect of various PSB doses on the growth and production of three red chili varieties and test for their interaction. The study was conducted from May–August 2025 at the UMT Selatan experimental field using a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two factors, namely PSB dose (0, 5, 10, 15 ml/L) and varieties (Super Baja, Faruq, Ateng), each with three replications. A quantitative approach was used by measuring growth parameters (plant height, leaf area, stem diameter) and production (number of fruits, fruit weight per sample and per plot). The results showed that PSB had a very significant effect on all parameters, with a dose of 15 ml/L producing the highest vegetative growth and production. Variety also had a significant effect, with Super Baja showing the best performance. There was a significant interaction between PSB dose and variety, with the combination of B3V1 producing optimal production.

This study shows that the administration of photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) significantly affects the growth and production of red chili peppers, with a dose of 15 ml/L producing the highest performance.The Super Baja variety is the most responsive variety compared to Faruq and Ateng, and the combination of B3V1 produces optimal growth and production.These findings clearly answer the objectives and formulation of the research problem that the correct PSB dose and variety selection have a direct effect on plant performance, and that there is a real interaction between the two factors.

Berdasarkan penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan yang dapat dikembangkan adalah pertama, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menginvestigasi mekanisme fisiologis yang mendasari interaksi antara PSB dan varietas cabai yang berbeda, khususnya dalam hal penyerapan nutrisi dan produksi hormon pertumbuhan. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan mengukur parameter fisiologis seperti kandungan klorofil, aktivitas enzim, dan kadar hormon IAA pada berbagai varietas cabai dengan dosis PSB yang berbeda. Kedua, penelitian dapat diperluas dengan mengevaluasi pengaruh PSB terhadap kualitas buah cabai, seperti kandungan vitamin C, karotenoid, dan senyawa antioksidan lainnya. Selain itu, perlu juga dianalisis pengaruh PSB terhadap umur simpan buah cabai setelah panen. Ketiga, penelitian dapat dilakukan untuk menguji efektivitas PSB dalam kondisi lingkungan yang berbeda, seperti pada berbagai jenis tanah dan ketinggian, serta dengan variasi iklim yang berbeda. Hal ini penting untuk memastikan bahwa rekomendasi penggunaan PSB dapat diterapkan secara luas dan adaptif terhadap berbagai kondisi agroiklim.
