Abstract

Making ecoenzymes is one of the solutions to reduce the quantity of organic waste which has been increasing lately. Ecoenzymes are liquid extract products produced from fermentation of vegetable and fruit residues with brown sugar or molasses as a substrate. Types of vegetables and fruits used as ecoenzyme ingredients can affect the levels of minerals or nutrients contained in ecoenzymes. Information about this will be an important consideration in the process of making ecoenzymes as Liquid Organic Fertilizer. This study aims to determine the quality of ecoenzymes from fruit and vegetable combinations, and to determine the effect of ecoenzymes on the periodic growth of mustard plants. Analysis of the quality of ecoenzymes was carried out through physical and chemical observations using laboratory tests, while analysis of the effect of ecoenzymes was carried out quantitatively by statistical tests using the SPSS application. The results showed that the ecoenzyme liquid contains macro nutrients (N, P, and K), and has a significant effect on the growth parameters of mustard plants.

Abstract

Several references indicate that active metabolites found in natural plant resources such as flavonoids and saponins have the potential as natural insecticides. One of natural plant resource that has the potential as a natural insecticide is durian, because in durian albedo there are flavonoids and saponins. In addition, durian seeds also contain flavonoids of 29.74 μg / mL. Based on this background, the author took the initiative to test the activity of flavonoid content in durian seed extract and albedo to determine its effectiveness as a natural insecticide for mealybug pest control. This research consists of 2 stages, including; extraction of flavonoids from durian seeds and albedo (peels), and testing of flavonoid activity of durian seed and peels extracts against mealybug mortality. Extraction of flavonoids from durian seeds and peels using socletation method and spectrophotometry tested. The results of flavonoid and phenolic analysis of durian seed extract are higher than durian albedo extract. The effectiveness test was carried out on the population of mealybug pests that had been acclimatized for 24 hours, placed on cocoa peels media that had been soaked in the treatment solution for 15 minutes, then the mortality rate was observed. The treatment given was albedo extract 12.5 g/100ml; albedo extract 25 g/100 ml; durian seed extract 12.5 g/100 ml; 25 g/100ml; albedo and seed extract 12.5 g/100 ml; albedo and seed extract 25 g/100 ml; positive control and negative control. The test results showed that the mortality of mealybugs in the treatment of seed extract 12.5 g /100 ml was not significantly different from the positive control treatment, this showed that durian seed extract 12.5 g / 100ml is expected to replace the use of chemical insecticides in the control of mealybug pests.

Abstract

The safety of using liquid soap to wash fruit or vegetables is unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of liquid soap on the body weight of mice (Mus musculus). This research is pure experimental using a completely randomized design. The treatment given was soaking fruits and vegetables in liquid soap with a concentration of 20 mL/L for 30 and 60 seconds, each treatment had 10 replications. The mice used were male, aged 4 weeks, with a total of 30 mice selected by cluster random sampling. Fruit and vegetable extracts were administered once daily, alternating fruit and vegetable extracts for 8 weeks in addition to the main food. Mice’s body weight was measured using a digital scale. The data were analyzed using One Way Anova and Duncan's advanced test. The results showed that liquid soap had a significant effect on the body weight of mice, but the average body weight of fruits and vegetables soaked in liquid soap for 30 seconds and 60 seconds was not significantly different. The conclusion of this study supports other research that the use of liquid soap containing surfactants for a long time continuously has a negative effect on body weight.

Abstract

Salinity is one of the main obstacles in plant cultivation, especially during the germination and early growth stages. High salt concentrations can cause osmotic stress and ionic toxicity, thereby hindering water absorption and disrupting the physiological processes of the plant. This study aims to examine the effects of various concentrations of salt solution (NaCl) on the germination and early growth processes of water lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. angustana) in a hydroponic system. Soil salinity is a major problem in agriculture that can cause osmotic stress and ionic toxicity in plants, especially at the early growth stages such as germination. This condition hinders water absorption by the seeds and disrupts the balance of essential ions that play a role in cellular activities, thereby reducing the efficiency of physiological processes crucial for the formation of uniform and healthy plants. The research was conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design. Complete with five treatments of NaCl concentration (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mM), each repeated three times. Seeds were sown on cotton media and watered with the solution according to the treatment for 14 days. The observed parameters include germination percentage, plant height, leaf count, and wet weight. The results show that the increase in NaCl concentration is inversely proportional to all growth parameters, where the treatment without NaCl yielded the best results, while the 100 mM concentration provided the lowest values. Statistical analysis confirmed the significant effect of salt concentration on the reduction of seed viability and vegetative growth of watercress. In conclusion, high salinity negatively impacts the physiology and early development of watercress through osmotic stress and ion toxicity mechanisms. These findings are important for the development of plant cultivation techniques in high-salinity areas and support the development of varieties that are more resistant to environmental stress, particularly in intensive agricultural systems such as hydroponics.
