Abstract

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms) is one of the most problematic invasive aquatic weeds, causing severe ecological and economic damage in tropical regions. Herbicides are often considered the most efficient approach for managing aquatic weeds compared to mechanical or biological control methods. However, conventional herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) require high application rates and may pose environmental risks. Therefore, new herbicides with greater efficacy at lower doses and improved environmental safety are required. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of florpyrauxifen-benzyl, a novel auxin-mimicking herbicide, compared with 2,4-D and penoxsulam in suppressing the growth of E. crassipes. The experiment was conducted from April to June 2022 under greenhouse and open-field conditions using a randomized complete block design with ten treatments, each with three replications, namely Florpyrauxifen-benzyl (FB, 10 g a.i./ha), Penoxsulam (P, 12.5 g a.i./ha), and 2,4-D (400 g a.i./ha). The parameters observed included phytotoxicity symptoms, water loss, dry weight, and damage percentage. The results revealed that florpyrauxifen-benzyl at 15–20 g a.i./ha provided growth suppression comparable to 2,4-D at 600 g a.i./ha, while penoxsulam exhibited lower efficacy. In conclusion, florpyrauxifen-benzyl demonstrates strong potential as a low-dose, environmentally safer, and sustainable herbicide for the management of water hyacinth under tropical conditions in Indonesia, offering practical benefits in reducing chemical inputs for aquatic weed control programs

Abstract

Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaud.) is considered an important natural fiber crop, particularly due to its profitability. However, its propagation still faces some ultrapractical cases. When typical vegetative styles are used, the number of new shops created is relatively low, which makes large-scale production less effective. To address this conclusion, an in vitro study was conducted on the initial Wonosobo ramie clone. The aim was to determine how different concentrations of 6- benzylaminopurine (BAP) affect apical shoot conformation. Six concentrations of BAP (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 ppm) were examined in a completely randomized design with four replications. During the cultivation period, several responses were recorded. The study observed the time for shoot emergence, number of shoots formed, and leaf development across all treatments. The response varied across different concentrations, with certain treatments exhibiting slower shoot formation and lower quantities. The highest shoot accumulation was obtained at 1.5 ppm BAP. These results indicate that BAP is important for stimulating shoot extension, but its concentration must be carefully optimized, as both too low and too high levels are less effective. Based on these findings, BAP with 1.5 ppm is optimal for enhancing in vitro shoot production of ramie.
