Abstract

Mucuna bracteata plants can be propagated in two ways: generatively and vegetatively. Vegetative propagation is done through cuttings, while generative propagation uses seeds. In 1999, Mucuna bracteata found it very difficult to produce flowers, fruits, and seeds. Due to this difficulty, propagation can be done through cuttings. This study uses a Non-Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 4 Treatments (P) and 6 Replications (U). The concentration of watering consists of 4 levels: P0 (0 ml), P1 (50 ml), P2 (150 ml), and P3 (250 ml). Meanwhile, the soaking duration also consists of 4 levels: P0 (0 minutes), P1 (5 minutes), P2 (10 minutes), and P3 (15 minutes). The results of the study showed that the interaction between the concentration of watering with MOL (Microorganism Local) from banana stems and the soaking duration did not have a significant effect on all parameters. Various concentrations of watering with MOL from banana stems and soaking duration significantly affected the growth of Mucuna bracteata. Although statistically, it did not show a significant effect, several treatment combinations could be observed, such as U6P3, which showed the highest root weight (15.44 grams). Then, the vine length was 117.1 cm, the number of leaves was 20, and the number of nodules was 11. As the highest values from P3, this shows the highest concentration of watering and soaking duration with MOL from banana stems. Thus, this effort can reduce agricultural waste and pathogens.

Abstract

Entomopathogenic fungi are fungi that can cause death to insect pests. Some reports state that entomopathogenic fungi are endophytic or can grow in plant tissue and are positive for plant growth and produce phenol substances that insects do not like. The study aims to determine whether the formulation of entomopathogenic fungi Metharizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin and Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill given to pre-nursery oil palm seedlings can help increase growth and resistance to pests and plant diseases. The study used factorial RAK with 3 replications and 2 factors, namely M. anisopliae fungus (M) with 4 levels: M0 = 0 g (control), M1 = 5g, M2 = 10g, and M3 = 40g, and B. bassiana fungus (B) with 4 levels namely: B0 = 0g (control), B1 = 5g, B2 = 10g, and B3 = 40g. The research resultsshowed that sprouts could grow into seedlings well, with an average third leaves appearing at week 12 after planting. The results of ANOVA analysis showed that the treatment factor of M. anisopliae and B. bassiana fungus gave an effect that was not significantly different on the parameters of the number of leaves, plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, number of leaf spots, leaf spot area, number of insect bites, insect bite area, plant length, crown wet weight, crown dry weight, root wet weight, root dry weight and root crown ratio. In other words, adding various doses of mixed formulation of M. anisopliae and B. bassiana did not provide a response to trigger plant growth and prevent the undesirable effects of insects. There are suggested that the two fungi are already in the oil palm seedling tissue as endophytes but until the 12th week, they have not shown any effect as a growth promotor or preventive effect the seddling tissue not liked by insects.

Abstract

Biomass Analysis of Mucuna bracteata DC Due to the Application of Coffee Husk Waste as an Organic Nutrient Source. Mucuna bracteata DC is a cover crop that plays a crucial role in soil conservation and soil fertility improvement. This study aims to analyze the effect of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) derived from coffee husk waste on the biomass growth of Mucuna bracteata DC, particularly in terms of fresh shoot weight, fresh root weight, dry shoot weight, and dry root weight. The research was conducted at Jalan Kuali No. 50, Medan Petisah District. The experiment was designed using a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with a single-factor treatment consisting of seven LOF dosage levels: K0 (no treatment), K1 (5 mL/polybag), K2 (10 mL/polybag), K3 (15 mL/polybag), K4 (20 mL/polybag), K5 (25 mL/polybag), and K6 (30 mL/polybag), with four replications, totaling 28 experimental plots. The results showed that the application of coffee husk LOF significantly affected the biomass growth of Mucuna bracteata DC. The highest fresh shoot weight (9.51 g) and dry shoot weight (2.14 g) were recorded in treatment K6 (30 mL/polybag), whereas the highest fresh root weight (2.29 g) and dry root weight (0.32 g) were observed in treatment K5 (25 mL/polybag). Higher LOF doses generally increase plant biomass up to an optimal threshold, beyond which nutrient absorption efficiency by roots declines. Overall, the optimal LOF dosage for maximizing biomass growth in Mucuna bracteata DC ranges between 25–30 mL/polybag. The use of coffee husk waste as an organic nutrient source presents a sustainable alternative for improving plant productivity while reducing dependency on synthetic fertilizers.
