South Sumatra's red chili productivity remains significantly lower than the national average. The major location of red chili development, such as Ogan Ilir Regency, has red-yellow podzolic soil lacking in P, K, and organic matter, as well as pest and disease attacks. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase the yield of red chili in South Sumatra. This study aims to use Proliga technology to increase red chili productivity in South Sumatra. The investigation was conducted on a farmers' field with a demonstration plot of ± 6000 m2. The study used a non-factorial Randomized Block Design, with four treatments and five replications. Three chili varieties (Tanjung-2, Lembang-1, and Ayu) were treated with Proliga technology, whereas one control plot used the Ayu variety (an existing variety) with the farmer technique (conventional). The results showed that using Proliga red chili technology resulted in higher red chili productivity than existing farmer technology. The increase in red chile productivity applying Proliga technology reached from 48.44 to 167.19%. This highlights that Proliga technology is more effective in increasing red chili production on red-yellow podzolic soils when using locally adapted varieties.
