Hiyung is one of the varieties of cayenne pepper in Indonesia and is a superior local variety in South Kalimantan (Kementan,2018).

This cayenne pepper, developed by the farmer, has a high level of spiciness with the level of capsaicin reaching 94,500 ppm. In addition to its very spicy taste, Hiyung cayenne pepper also has a long shelf life (10-16 days at room temperature).

Maintenance of Hiyung cayenne pepper in general involves the replanting of dead young plants. Replanting should be conducted no later than 14 days after planting, so the plant growth is uniform. At the age of 20 days, the plants are stamped by removing the shoots that come out of the underarm leaves under the main branch (under branch V). Stakes are given at the time of planting or 14 days after planting so plants stand upright Jumar. (2004).

Preliminary tests showed that the material contained 0.08% nitrogen (N-Total), 0.06% phosphorus (P2O5), 0.08% potassium (K), and 0.11% Carbon (C). Liquid waste with nitrogen and organic carbon are the elements needed in the production of liquid bokashi fertilizer (LBF) and for plant growth and development Emma (2011).

Based on the previous description, it is necessary to investigate the dosage effect of liquid bokashi fertilizer (LBF) from cattle waste and rice straw on the growth response, production, and revenue analysis of Hiyung chili cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens l).
