Abstract

Due to over exploitation, the population of Eusideroxylon zwageri is decreasing drastically. One simple technique to conserve the last remaining genetic resources of E. zwageri is by air layering. The experiment was divided into two. The experiment was conducted from July 2018 to February 2019. The first experiment was conducted using branches that grew from coppices while the second experiment using twigs that grew from normal adult trees. Randomized Block Design was applied with three replicates. The treatments were consisted of nine concentration of auxin namely 0 ppm of auxin; 1, 000 ppm; 1,500 ppm; 2,000 ppm and 2,500 ppm of IAA and 1,000 ppm; 2,000 ppm; 3,000 ppm and 4,000 ppm of IBA. The result of experiment shows that the IBA growth regulator seems to be more effective in regulating growth and rooting of E. zwageri air layering compared to IAA. Results for air layering which was taken from coppices revealed that 1,000 ppm of IBA obtained the best results. Air layering of branches taken from coppice is possible even without any additional growth regulator. While, air layering of twigs which was taken from normal trees revealed that the best treatment is 3,000 ppm of IBA.

Abstract

The response of tropical trees to the change of light intensity has been reported to be varied among different species. Some reports argued that the growth was increasing parallel to the increasing of light intensity, but other reports mentioned that the sensitivity to the light intensity was depending on the species. Another environmental factor that has been scientifically proven to affect tree growth is humidity. While humidity itself also directly affected by the light intensity in the forest ecosystems. Therefore, it is possible that the growth pattern of trees under different light intensities is also affected by air humidity under the canopy. This research aimed to study the growth response of a light-demanding Alstonia scholaris and a shade-tolerant Eusideroxylon zwageri to the different levels of air humidity and light intensity. The experiment was conducted in Jambi, Indonesia from April to November 2019. The experiment was carried out using split plot design with factorial treatments. The main plot was the air humidity with three levels and the sub plots was light intensity with five levels. Four replicates were applied. In general, the A. scholaris tends to be more sensitive to the humidity and light intensity compared to E. zwageri. In particular, A. scholaris tends to be more sensitive to the light intensity while, E, zwageri is more sensitive to the humidity. However, there is also strong indication that the effects of light intensity to the growth, especially for A. scholaris, was affected by the humidity level.

Abstract

The protected forest of Londerang Jambi is an area of hydrological unity with a surface area of 12.484 ha that is located in the district of Tanjung Timur and Muaro Jambi, which is surrounded by palm plantations and forest of industrial crops and 10 villages in the Districts of Tanjung Jabung Timur and Jambi. Based on the results of the Landsat 8 OLI image analysis and the SPOT 7 image interpretation by WWF Indonesia in 2015 that the Londerang Forest Protection Area (HLG) has an area of 12.848 Ha, currently the steep vegetation cover that canopies closely on the HLG Londerang remains only less than 10% of the area of HLG londerang due to forest fires in 2015. An attempt to overcome the situation has been made, one of them in the HLG Londerang being made an of the Hydrological Union of Mendahara-Sungai Batanghari which has been intervened by the Badan Restorasi Gambut (BRG). This effort was also carried out by the KIFC (Korea Indonesia Forest Center) by revegetating the blocks of land that had been burned in HLG Londerang. The planting has been carried out from the beginning of 2022 to December 2022. The species of plants planted among them are Pulai Rawa (Alstonia scholaris), Balangeran (Shorea balangeran), Gelam (Melaleuca leucadendron). In order to support the success of the revegetation, intensive maintenance is required, including the provision of soil fertilizers such as dolomite and NPK fertilizer. The research was conducted for seven months from May to December 2023 at HLG Londerang. Measuring fields are made with group random designs (RAK). The clustering is based on the difference in the height of the groundwater surface

Abstract

Sengon solomon (Falcataria moluccana ((Miq.) Barneby & Grime) merupakan salah satu jenis tanaman dengan suku Fabaceae yang memiliki pertumbuhan yang cepat (fast growing). Tanaman sengon mudah beradaptasi terhadap lingkungan dan banyak direkomendasikan sebagai tanaman yang cocok untuk reklamasi tambang terutama tambang batubara. Penambangan batubara dapat menyebabkan lahan terdegredasi sehingga menurunnya sifat fisik, kimia, biologi tanah dan mengakibatkan terganggunya pertumbuhan tanaman. Tanah bekas tambang batubara yang ada di PT. Nan Riang memiliki kandungan C-organik sangat rendah sampai rendah (0,08%- 1,58%). Bahan organik yang rendah perlu dilakukan perbaikan pada media tanam, yaitu dengan cara memberikan bahan organik. Salah satu pembenah tanah yang bisa digunakan dalam memperbaiki tanah yaitu limbah kelapa sawit yaitu Solid Decanter. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menganalisis keberhasilan revegetasi tanaman sengon Salomo terhadap pemberian Solid Decanter. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Areal konsesi pertambangan batubara PT. Nan Riang yang berlokasi di Desa Ampelu Mudo, Kecamatan Muaro Tembesi, Kabupaten Batanghari, Provinsi Jambi.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Petai is a plant that belongs to the MPTS (Multi Purpose Tree Species) plant type which can be used multiple times for both wood and non-wood. Petai also has benefits from an economic perspective (fruit and wood) and ecology (legume plants fertilize the soil) so it needs to be cultivated well. There are several factors that influence the quality of cultivation results, one of which is the planting media. The planting medium used is soil in the sub-soil layer as an alternative to top soil. However, this layer is not as fertile as the top soil layer, so it is necessary to add soil improving materials (Ameliorants), for example organic materials. This research aims to analyze the effect of adding various organic materials to sub-soil planting media on the growth of Petai seedlings and to obtain the best organic material composition to add to sub-soil planting media which can have a real influence on the growth of Petai seedlings. This research was carried out for 3 months using a completely randomized design (CRD) method with 1 factor, namely planting media (M) consisting of 5 treatments, namely m1 (Sub soil + compost 3:1), m2 (Sub soil + husk charcoal 2:1), m3 (Sub soil + Cocopeat 2:1), m4 (Sub soil + Boiler ash 4:1) and m5 (Sub soil + Laying chicken manure + Sand 1:2:1). The best organic material composition to add to the sub soil planting medium is cocopeat (2:1). Keywords: petai, planting media, organic materials. ABSTRAK Petai merupakan tumbuhan yang tergolong dalam jenis tanaman MPTS (Multi Purpose Tree Species) yang dapat dimanfaatkan secara ganda baik kayu maupun non kayunya. Petai juga memiliki manfaat dari segi ekonomi (buah dan kayunya) maupun ekologi (tumbuhan legum menyuburkan tanah) sehingga perlu dibudidayakan dengan baik. Ada beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi kualitas hasil budidaya salah satunya media tanam. Media tanam yang digunakan adalah tanah pada lapisan sub soil sebagai alternatif pengganti tanah top soil. Namun, lapisan ini tidak sesubur lapisan top soil sehingga diperlukan penambahan bahan pembenah tanah (Amelioran) contohnya bahan organik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penambahan berbagai bahan organik pada media tanam sub soil terhadap pertumbuhan bibit petai serta untuk mendapatkan komposisi bahan organik terbaik untuk ditambahkan ke media tanam sub soil yang dapat memberikan pegaruh nyata dalam pertumbuhan bibit Petai. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama 3 bulan dengan menggunakan metode rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) 1 faktor yaitu media tanam (M) yang terdiri dari 5 perlakuan yaitu m1 (Sub soil + kompos 3:1), m2 (Sub soil + arang sekam 2:1), m3 (Sub soil + Cocopeat 2:1 ), m4 (Sub soil + Abu boiler 4:1 ) dan m5 (Sub soil + Pupuk kandang ayam petelur + Pasir 1:2:1). Komposisi bahan organik terbaik untuk ditambahkan ke dalam media tanam sub soil adalah cocopeat (2:1). Katakunci: petai, media tanam, bahan organik.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sunlight plays a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis because it provides the energy source that plants need. The intensity of light received by plants greatly affects their growth and the efficiency of photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis in plants is also greatly influenced by the intensity of sunlight, where if there is sufficient light intensity, adequate amounts of water and carbon dioxide, and appropriate temperatures, photosynthesis will usually reach its peak. The purpose of this research is to observe the rate of photosynthesis in Tanjung (Mimusops elengi Linn.) and Merbau darat (Intsia palembanica) plants with various treatments such as the addition of topsoil, subsoil, rice husk charcoal, cocopeat, sand, cow dung fertilizer, and NPK fertilizer using a plant photosynthesis meter. The research was conducted at the Educational Forest and Nursery Laboratory of the Forestry Department, Faculty of Agiculture, Jambi University. The results of this study indicate that Tanjung with the treatment of topsoil, rice husk charcoal, and 5 g of NPK is the best fertilizer application, as evidenced by the highest photosynthesis rate of 31.7 µmolCO2 m-2s-1. Meanwhile, for the merbau darat seedlings, the treatment with topsoil, sand, and 2 g of NPK fertilizer yielded the highest results for the photosynthesis rate.   Keywords: photosynthesis rate, NPK fertilizer, merbau darat, tanjung, subsoil   ABSTRACT Cahaya matahari sangat berperan dalam proses fotosintesis karena dapat memberikan sumber energi yang sangat dibutuhkan oleh tanaman. Intensitas cahaya yang diterima tanaman sangat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan dan efisiensi fotosintesis. Laju fotosintesis pada tanaman juga sangat di pengaruhi oleh intensitas cahaya matahari, dimana jika intensitas cahaya yang cukup, jumlah air dan karbon dioksida yang cukup serta suhu yang sesuai, fotosintesis biasanya akan mencapai puncaknya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat seberapa tinggi laju fotosintesis pada tanaman Tanjung (Mimusops elengi Linn.) dan Merbau darat (Intsia palembanica) dengan berbagai perlakuan seperti penambahan media topsoil, subsoil, arang sekam, cocopeat, pasir, pupuk kotoran sapi dan pupuk NPK dengan alat plant photosyntesis meter.
