Detection of Yellow Virus Disease Patterns in Chili Plants Based on Geostatistical Analysis

Abstract

Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a commodity with high economic value and can affect inflation in Indonesia. Yellow virus is a disease that often attacks cayenne pepper plants, causing the plant's leaves to turn yellow, curl and become small and the flowers to fall off. This study aims to detect and determine the pattern of distribution of yellow virus disease using geostatistical analysis. The results of the geospatial analysis study showed that there was a pattern of disease distribution and the results of interpolation using the Kriging method showed the presence of yellow to red foci which indicated the incidence of disease with the highest value as seen from the wide distribution of the yellow virus which was increasingly heterogeneous at certain locations.
