【 摘 要 】

Anthracnose disease on chili pepper has been known to seriously interfere with the plant growth and obviously reduce the yield. The disease is caused by Colletotrichum spp. In Bali, Indonesia, six species of Colletotrichum have been identified: Colletotrichum scovillei, C. acutatum, C. nymphaeae, C. gloeosporioides, C. truncatum, and C. fructicola. However, among them the C. scovillei was found to be the most prevalent cause of anthracnose on chili pepper in Bali. Two species of antagonist against C. scovillei, namely Paenibacillus polymyxa C1 and Bacillus siamensis C7B, have been identified. In this study the effectiveness of P. polymyxa C1 formulation was evaluated under greenhouse condition on chili pepper cultivars Cabe Besar. Application of formulation was conducted by a mini hand sprayer once to five times with a week interval. Results of the study showed that treatment with five applications significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the disease incidence, disease intensity, and the yield loss of chili pepper cultivar Cabe Besar. Alose relationship was observed between the number of applications with disease intensity, with coefficient of determination (R2) at 0.929. These results revealed that the formulation of P. polymyxa C1 effectively control the anthracnose disease on chili pepper, particularly on chili pepper cultivar Cabe Besar, and thus can be recommended for field testing to confirm its stability under field conditions.
