In recent years, the productivity of pepper in Indonesia has decreased due to various problems in pepper farming, both on-farm and off-farm, so the contribution of Indonesian pepper to the world declined. One of the problems farmers face in cultivating pepper is the use of nonliving standards in several production areas, especially in Bangka Belitung and West Kalimantan. The use of non-living standards requires more inputs. Moreover, in the current pepper price situation, farmers have less profit. Observations on the growth of pepper on several types of living standards, namely Albizia, Gliricidia, coconut, and kapok, in Sukamulya, Pakuwon, and Muktiharjo. The experiment was conducted in 2015, 2016, and 2017. At each standard, 1,2 and 4 pepper seedlings were planted. A sampling of 10 plants of each type of standard for observation of growth and yield had been conducted from each plot. The results showed that the alive climbing pole that could be attached for pepper were Albizia and Gliricidia. Productivity of fresh weight at the third year was 1.90 kg per standard used 4 seedlings and 1.87 kg per standard used 2 seedlings.
