INTRODUCTION

Siling labuyo is a small chili pepper cultivar that developed in the Philippines after the
Columbian Exchange. It belongs to the species Capsicum frutescens and is characterized by
triangular fruits which grow pointing upwardsThe fruits and leaves are used in traditional
Philippine cuisine. The fruit is pungent, ranking at 80,000 to 100,000 heat units in the Scoville
Scale.

The small triangular fruits of siling labuyo are distinctively borne pointing upwards, like other
Capsicum frutescens cultivarsThe cultivar name is Tagalog, and literally translates to "wild
chili."It is also known simply as labuyo or labuyo chili It is also sometimes known as Filipino
bird's eye, to differentiate it from the Thai bird's eye chili. Both are commonly confused with
each other in the Philippines, though they are cultivars of two different species Siling labuyo
(Capsicum frutescens) is one of two common kinds of local chili found in the Philippines, the
other being siling haba (Capsicum annuum).Siling labuyo is listed in the Ark of Taste
international catalog of endangered heritage foods of the Philippines by the Slow Food
movement.

Siling labuyo is officially known under the cultivar name Capsicum frutescens 'Siling labuyo'. It
belongs to the species Capsicum frutescens. Related cultivars to 'Siling labuyo' include 'Tabasco',
'Malagueta', and 'African Birdseye'The common name is Tagalog for "wild chili", from sili
("chili") and the enclitic suffix -ng, and labuyo ("growing wild", also a term for wild chicken or
junglefowl).Other local names for it include chileng bundok, siling palay, pasitis, pasite
(Tagalog), katumbal, kutitot, siling kolikot (Bisaya), silit-diablo (Ilocano), lada, rimorimo
(Bicolano), and paktin (Ifugao).Commonly confused cultivars. Siling tingala, an F1 hybrid
commonly mislabeled as "siling labuyo" in Luzon marketsRed bird's eye chili are commonly
mislabeled as siling labuyo in Filipino markets. But they are actually a chili pepper cultivar from
a different species (Capsicum annuum) that came by way of Thailand. Their fruits, unlike C.
frutescens, are borne on the plant drooping down. In Luzon, siling tingala, a high-yield F1 hybrid
of C. frutescens and C. annuum from Taiwan are also commonly sold as siling labuyo. While
they have C. frutescens ancestry (the fruits are also borne erect), they are much longer and
uniformly red, similar to Thai bird's eye chilis.
SOIL SAMPLING

Collection of soil sample was done prior for land preparation, It is done through getting
composite sample. The composite samples were submitted at the Department of Agriculture-
Soils Laboratory, City of San Fernando, La Union.

LAND PREPARATION

Prepare the area thoroughly. For small areas, make plots 0.75 – 1.0 m wide for two-row/plot
planting. Chili pepper can be grow from low to wind elevation throughout the year. Production is
best, however, during the cool, dry months of October to March in sandy loam soil.

INSTALLATION AND HOLING OF PLASTIC MULCH

Plastic Mulch is put accordingly on the top of the plot, and fixed firmly by the help of bamboo
clips. Holes were burned by charcoal through cylindrical by 4 inches diameter.

SEEDLING PRODUCTION

Line sow 200 – 250 g of seeds in a seedbed prepared from a mixture of equal parts of animal
manure, rice hull, charcoal, and soil. Makes shallow lines spaced at 10 – 15 cm apart and water
before and after sowing. Mulch with rice hull and straw. Provide partial shade and water
regularly. Harden the seedling one week before transplanting.

TRANSPLANTING

Chili pepper grows best under full sunlight although it can also tolerate partial shade. Transplant
18 – 21 days , old. Prepare raised beds one meter wide and about 20 – 30 cm high. The spacing
between hills and rows should be 30 – 50 cm with two rows in each bed. Make holes in the beds
and place a handful of compost or animal manure. Place 1-2 seedlings in the hole and cover with
soil, pressing lightly near the stem for maximum contact between roots and soil. Water
immediately after transplanting. Chili pepper can also be grown in clay pots, cans and plastic
bags. It can be treated as an ornamental if maintained properly.

FERTILIZER APPLICATION

Chili pepper responds well to inorganic fertilizer. However, animal manure and compost are
better sources of nutrients. Another alternative is to grow hot pepper around basket
composts.Apply basal fertilizer at 1 bag /500sqm 14-14-14 and 2 t/500sq manure. Transplant at
a spacing of 0.3 – 0.5 m between hills.
PEST AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT

The main diseases of hot pepper are bacterial wilt and viruses. Bacterial wilt is soil borne and
difficult to control so that wilting in fully-grown plants is usually due to bacterial wilt. It is best
to grow Chili pepper in containers with sterilized soil instead. Viruses are systematic, so it is
good practice to pull out and bury infected plants (mosaic, leaf curling, and fernlike leaves) to
prevent the spread of diseases through insect vectors. The major insect pests of pepper are thrips,
mites, army worm, fruit fly, and shoot borers. Thrips is a problem during the dry season and can
be managed by overhead irrigation. Shoot and fruit borer can be managed by removing damaged
fruits and shoots.

HARVESTING

Harvest mature green or fully ripened red fruits. Pack in plastic crates, cartons, or bamboo crates
lined with banana leaves. Seeds can also be extracted from the red fruits. Air-dry or sun dry seeds
for 3 – 5 days. Place in plastic bags or clear bottles, seal and store in a cool, dry place or inside
the refrigerator. Label properly to indicate variety and date of harvest.
