This study was aimed to examine the interaction between the types of manure which used as basic fertilizer and the intervals of giving endophyte bacteria consortium to support hot pepper plant growth. The study was designed as completely randomized design in factorial experiment. The first factor is types of manure (P), while the second factor is the interval of endophyte bacteria consortium (N) application. Parameters observed were the growth of hot pepper namely plant height and number of leaves, and harvest quantity namely fruit number dan fruit resulted. As the result, there is interaction between type of manure treatment with the intervals of giving the endophyte bacteria. The application of endophyte bacteria able to increase the efficiency of manure given. The most recommended combination to produce best quality of harvested hot pepper is cow manure and intervals of 5 days of endophyte bacteria. Using this combination, the productivity of hot pepper could be reached to 19.5 tons per ha.
