This research was arranged in a completely randomized design (RAL) with two treatments, kinds, and dosage of bokashi. The treatment was repeated 3 times in order to obtain 27 experimental units. The treatment of agricultural waste bokashi had a significant effect on plant height variables aged 3 weeks after planting and 4 weeks after planting, very significant effect on plant height at 6 weeks after planting, flowering age, and harvesting age of red chili plants. At the 3 weeks after planting, 4 weeks after planting, 6 weeks after planting plant height variables, flowering age showed that the leather waste coffee bokashi treatment showed the best results which were not significantly different from cow dung bokashi treatment and significantly different from chicken manure bokashi treatment. The dosage treatment of agricultural waste bokashi had a very significant effect on the variable of harvest age. no significant effect on the variables of plant height, flowering age, fruit weight per plant, wet stover weight, and plant dry stover weight. the harvest age variable showed that the treatment of dosage of 15 ton/ha of bokashi had the best result which was significantly different from that of 20 ton/ha and 25 ton/ha of bokashi treatment. The interaction of kinds and dosages of agricultural waste bokashi did not significantly affect the observed variables.
