The environmentally friendly methods without unwanted side effects of harmful chemicals are becoming very important in the modern era as customers are more likely to choose high-quality and nutritious foods free from chemical residues. Thus, natural products using plant extracts are some of the alternative approaches in natural farming. In the present study, the effect of Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN) that prepared from natural sources including cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and garlic (Allium sativum) were evaluated on Capsicum frutescens growth performance. The objectives of this study are to determine the effect of OHN as an organic fertilizer on the growth performance of C. frutescens sp., and to determine the best stimulant that promoting growth performance of C. frutescens sp. OHN were prepared from the extracts of the C. zeylanicum, Z. officinale, and A. sativum that further fermented with coconut vinegar.
