This research aims to determine the effect of applying liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) at various concentrations and doses of inorganic fertilizer on the growth and yield of curly chili. The research was conducted at Gumantar Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, at an altitude of 60 m asl starting from April to July 2018. This research used a Completely Randomized Block Design consisting of two factors. The first factor is the application of the LOF concentration and the second factor is the application of the inorganic fertilizer dose. The research results showed that the application of LOF combined with inorganic fertilizer did not significantly differ in stem diameter, number of branch/plant, and total of fruit weight/plant, but it was significantly different from the height of the plant at 42 DAP (maximum vegetative phase). The observed curly chilli fruit did not produce significantly different values with various treatment combinations. However, sole fertilizer in LOF is very responsive at the beginning of growth (14 DAP) which can be seen in height plants.
