ABSTRACT
Chili farming faces several constraints, one of which is the pathogenic
fungus Colletotrichum capsici. To overcome it can be used indigenous
endophytic fungus and liquid smoke wood Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri
Teijsm. & Binn.) which has the potential as antimicrobial can be used.
This research aimed to quantify and measure the effectiveness of an
antimicrobial liquid smoke, endophytic filtrate, and the combination to
suppress C. capsici growth. Subsequently, the research was conducted
to apply the liquid smoke, endophytic fungi, and the two combinations of
treatments on the growth of C. capsici. Thus, the results of this research
showed that liquid smoke with a concentration of 0.085-1.75% can
inhibit 3.56-62.17% in range. Meanwhile, the endophytic fungi filtrate, of
2% concentration can inhibit 91.69% C. capsici. Two of the combination
liquid smoke in a concentration of 0.68%, 1.36% and the endophytic
fungi filtrate in 2% have a demonstrated to inhibit the growth of C.
capsici with the highest inhibition into 88.08%. Based on the analysis
results, liquid smoke, endophytic fungi filtrate, and a combination of both
showed significantly different inhibitory effects between treatments. This
indicates that all those three treatments have antimicrobial potential.
