## Abstract
Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of mycorrhizal fungi and NPK fertilizers on the growth of pepper ( Piper nigrum L.) seedlings. The study was conducted from December 2017 to February 2018 in the form of a two-factor factorial randomized block design (RBD) trial. The first factor was the inoculation of mycorrhizae fungi which consisted of four levels, namely control or without mycorrhizae, 10 g plant −1 , 15 g plant −1 , and 20 g plant −1 of the mycorrhizae. The second factor is the application of NPK fertilizer with three levels, namely without NPK fertilizer, NPK fertilizer 1 g plant −1 , NPK fertilizer 1.5 g plant −1 , NPK fertilizer 2 g plant −1 . The results of this study indicate that the application of 20 g of mycorrhizae per plant resulted in better growth of pepper seedlings indicated by the parameters of root volume (1.83 mL). The application of NPK fertilizer 1.5 g per plant resulted in highest plant height (3.32 cm). There was no interaction between mycorrhizal fungi treatment and NPK fertilizer in affecting the growth of pepper seedlings.
