Saline land is widely found in tidal areas or around the coast, saline soils are a limiting factor for people to manage economical valuable hoticultural crops such as paper chili, paper chili contains nutrients needed for health. Paper chili contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins, and alkaloid compounds, such as capsaicin, flavenoid, and essential oils. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of paper chili varieties and mycorrhiza types and the interactions between these two factors on the growth and yield of paper chilli plants on saline soil. The type Arbuscularmycorrhiza (AMF) used were; Glomus sp., Acaulospora and mixture, mean while several types of chili varieties namely Perintis, PM 999 and Lado on saline soil. The research was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Plant Disease Laboratory and Soil Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, Darussalam, Banda Aceh. It was held from August to November 2018. The design used in this experiment was a 4 ? 3 Factorial Randomized Block Design with 3 replications, as the result there were 12 treatment combinations. The results of this study indicate that, varieties have a very significant effect on the number of fruit crops significantly affect the weight of fruit crops. The type of mycorrhiza had a very significant effect on the number of fruit crops, and had no significant effect on the weight of the fruit of the crop, the weight of the wet crop, the dry weight of the crop, the wet weight of the root crop, the dry weight of the root crop, the root length of the crop. The use of mycorrhizae and varieties in saline soils can increase plant growth and yield and increase the weight of chili fruit supported by the input of the soil.
