The purpose of the study is to obtain packages of chili pepper cultivation technology to support the increasing productivity of chili pepper in South Sulawesi. The study was held in Lengkese village, Mangarabombang District, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, from April to August 2019. The experimental design used Randomized Block Design, with three replications and five treatments: A = Maruti variety, closed nursery, black silver plastic mulch (BSPM), plant distancing 75 cm × 60 cm, a dosage of solid organic fertilizer 20 tons/ha, and 180 N, P, K kg/ha of inorganic fertilizers; B = Maruti variety, closed nursery, BSPM, plant distancing 75 cm × 60 cm, a dosage of solid organic fertilizer 10 tons/ha and 135 N, P, K kg/ha of inorganic fertilizers; C = Maruti variety, closed nursery, BSPM, plant distancing 75 cm × 40 cm, a dosage of solid organic fertilizer 10 tons/ha and 180 N, P, K kg/ha of inorganic fertilizers; D = Maruti variety, closed nursery, BSPM, plant distancing 75 cm × 40 cm, a dosage of solid organic fertilizer 20 tons/ha and 135 N, P, K kg/ha of inorganic fertilizers; and E= Maruti variety, open nursery, plant distancing 75 cm × 30 cm and dosage of inorganic fertilizers 127 N, 60 P, 60 K kg/ha. The results were showed that C treatment used the technology packages: Maruti variety, closed nursery, BSPM, plant distancing 75 cm × 40 cm, a dosage of solid organic fertilizer 10 tons/ha, and 180 N, P, K kg/ha of inorganic fertilizers produced more chili pepper weights per plant. The height of A and D treatment was significantly different from E treatment and resulted in the highest production of chili pepper, 14.97 tons/ha. Organisms such as Myzus persicae, fruit flies, Fusarium wilt disease, and anthracnose were found in low infestation rates. The technology packages can use to support the increasing production of chili pepper in South Sulawesi.
