Abstract

Microgreens are young vegetable seedlings valued for their high nutritional content and rapid growth cycle. Pakcoy microgreens (Brassica rapa chinensis L.) have strong potential for sustainable urban agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different eco-enzyme concentrations and growing media on the growth performance of pakcoy microgreens. The experiment was conducted using a factorial completely randomized design with two factors: eco-enzyme concentration and growing media type. Several growth parameters were observed, including plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight, and overall growth vigor. The results showed that both eco-enzyme concentration and growing media not  significantly influenced the growth of pakcoy microgreens. Higher eco-enzyme concentrations generally promoted better vegetative growth, particularly when combined with suitable growing media. The interaction between eco-enzyme application and growing media played an important role in optimizing microgreen growth performance. These findings indicate that eco-enzyme can be utilized as an environmentally friendly input to enhance pakcoy microgreen production. The use of appropriate growing media further improves growth outcomes, supporting sustainable and efficient microgreen cultivation systems. This study provides practical insights for small-scale growers and urban farmers seeking to improve microgreen productivity using eco-friendly alternatives.

Abstract

Anthracnose disease is one of the most destructive diseases affecting chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The impact of anthranose on production worldwide results in significant yield and quality losses during both pre-harvest and post-harvest stages. Control of this disease has relied use traditional technic with synthetic fungicides. Synthetic fungicides have caused pathogen resistance, environmental contamination, and food safety concerns. Therefore, biopesticides are considered an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative. This review aims to critically summarize recent studies published between 2015 and 2025 on the application of biopesticides to controlling anthracnose disease in chili pepper. Scientific literature was collected from major databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The review highlights the effectiveness of biopesticides from microbial and botanical pesticides. Microbial pesticides such as Trichoderma spp., Bacillus, and Pseudomonas spp. Contribute to disease suppression by producing antimicrobial metabolites and inducing systemic resistance in host plants. Botanical pesticides based on plant extracts and essential oils have antifungal activity by inhibiting spore germination, disrupting fungal cell structures, and antimicrobial chemical compounds. Although biopesticides potential to control anthracnose disease, but remains inconsistent due to environmental factors and formulation constraints. Therefore, improved formulation technologies and integration into integrated disease management strategies are essential to enhance their reliability and adoption in sustainable chili production systems.
