The continual use of inorganic fertilizers can lead to decreased soil fertility, lower crop yields, and increased environmental pollution. CAFELM - Compost Ash Fertilizer Enriched with Leachate, Charcoal, and Local Microbes is a mixture of several organic compounds used to treat domestic trash. This study aimed to examine the impact of specific fertilizers on the growth of bird’s eye chili. A randomized experimental design with multiple replicates was used for this investigation. The application of the CAFELM formulation fertilizer resulted in significant improvements in plant growth, particularly when treatment T1 was applied (consisting of 80 grams of compost, 3 mL of leachate, 80 grams of wood charcoal, 20 grams of burned ash, and 8 mL local microbe’s banana weevil). Additionally, this fertilizer composition proved effective in increasing total phosphorus content.
