Curly red chili ( Capsicum sp ) is one of the commercial horticultural commodities that has a major obstacle in its cultivation, namely of the attack of Plant Pest Organisms. One type of pests that often damages chili plants is fruit flies ( Bactrocera spp ) which can be controlled using an attractant. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the production of curly red chili in farm with attractant utilization and without it and also their effect to farmers’ income. This research was conducted in Pasirwangi District, Garut Regency using a survey method on 72 farmers of red curly chilies. Data were analysed using multiple regression of a production function where one of the dummy production factors was the usage of attractant and non-attractant. The results showed that the production factors including land area, seeds, NPK fertilizer, organic fertilizer, labor and attractants had a positive effect on the production of curly red chilies. Partially, the production factors such as urea, Za fertilizer, KCl fertilizer and pesticides did not have any effect on the production of curly red chilies The income of attractant users was higher than those who were not using attractants.
