Abstract

The low fertility of post-brick mining soil may be improved by applying biochar to the soil because biochar is an excellent soil amendment, although its quality varies depending on the raw materials used. Therefore, soil fertility, nutrient availability, and crop yields are affected by the type and amount of biochar added to soils. This study examined the effect of types and dosages of biochar on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium availability of post-brick mining soil to increase maize yield. The treatment combinations of biochar dosages (0 t ha-1, 15 t ha-1, 30 t ha-1, and 45 t ha-1) and biochar types (coconut shell, wood, and rice husk biochars) were arranged in randomized block design with three replications. Each treatment plot measuring 4 m x 4.5 m was planted with maize seeds with a planting space of 80 cm x 25 cm. Urea (135 kg N ha-1), SP36 (36 kg P2O5 ha-1), and KCl (110 kg K2O ha-1) were applied as basal fertilizers. The results showed that at eight weeks after biochar application, the amount and type of biochar positively affected maize yield. The application of rice-husk biochar at 30 t ha-1 resulted in the highest maize yield. The application of each type of biochar at 45 t ha-1 yielded the highest increase in the availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil.

Abstract

Physalis angulata was known for its pharmacological potential, including antioxidant activity, yet the specific bioactive compounds responsible for enhancing endogenous antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD 1), remained unclear. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the active compounds of P. angulata as natural SOD 1 activators using an In silico molecular docking approach. Forty-nine ligands derived from the active constituents of P. angulata were screened based on Lipinski’s Rule of Five and ADMET properties. Molecular docking was performed using the SOD 1 protein (PDB ID: 5YTO), and docking validation yielded an RMSD value of 0.005 Å. Among the test ligands, withanolide exhibited the most favorable binding energy (−7.011 kcal/mol) and the lowest inhibition constant (7.0 pM), forming strong interactions with key catalytic residues of the enzyme. These findings indicated that withanolide had promising potential as a natural SOD 1 activator, providing a basis for future antioxidant drug discovery.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how the application of rice husk biochar and nitrogen fertilizer (urea), affects the chemical properties of dryland soil and the vegetative growth of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). This study was conducted from September 2024 to March 2025 at the Science Techno Park of Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University in Malang, East Java, using a Factorial Randomized Block Design with two factors: urea doses (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) and biochar (0 and 5 tons ha-1) three replications. The parameters observed were pH H2O, total N-P-K, Organic-C, plant height, stem circumference, number of leaves, and leaf length and width. The results showed that the use of rice husk biochar and N fertilizer in dryland significantly interacted only on the parameter of sorghum plant height at 8 WAP. The use of the N3 dose (urea fertilizer dose of 200 kg ha-1) showed the most optimal results, but the N2 treatment (urea fertilizer dose of 150 kg ha-1) can be considered more efficient because the use of a lower dose of N fertilizer (urea) produced results that were not significantly different from the N3 treatment. Treatment B1 (5 t biochar ha-1) showed better results than B0 (no treatment).

Abstract

This study aims to examine the physical and chemical properties of soil, morphology, and soil classification in Dalisodo Village, Wagir District, Malang Regency, and their implications for land management. Observations were conducted at three locations representing different land-use types: Napier grass monoculture, coffee agroforestry, and open grass. Soil morphology was described in the field, while physical and chemical analyses were conducted using standard laboratory methods. The results indicate that the soil is predominantly clay-textured, with a granular to subangular blocky structure, an acidic pH, and a very low to moderate organic carbon content. N, P, and K levels vary from low to moderate, CEC ranges from moderate to high, and base saturation ranges from low to very high. Soil classification reveals a dominance of Inceptisols and Vertisols in Udic soil moisture regimes, with soil profiles characterized by Typic Hapluderts (Point 1), Dystric Eutrudepts (Point 2), and Chromic Hapluderts (Point 3). These findings provide important information for land management, as vertisols require attention to drainage, water retention, and liming to optimize productivity. Inceptisols require organic amendments and soil fertility management to support sustainable agricultural or agroforestry systems. Emphasis on soil classification helps determine appropriate land management strategies, improves fertilizer efficiency, and supports the sustainability of the region’s agricultural ecosystem.

Abstract. Widowati, Biru SM, Agastya IMI, Cahya UTW, Wilujeng R. 2025. Optimization of biochar and drip irrigation to improve chili yield and soil properties. Asian J Agric 9: 442-453. Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens) is an important horticultural crop in Indonesia; however, its yield remains below optimal despite rising demand. This study intends to (i) assess changes in soil bulk density, particle density, and porosity; (ii) evaluate the effects of irrigation techniques and the application of biochar on chili yields; and (iii) identify the best combination for optimizing resource usage and yield. Eight different treatment combinations, each repeated four times, were used in a nested randomized design study conducted in Tunggulwulung Village, Malang. As the primary factor, the treatments included two main irrigation techniques (conventional and drip), which were further subdivided with different rates of biochar application (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%). There were 160 pots total, with five plants per treatment acting as experimental units. Rice husks that had been pyrolyzed for three to four hours at 600°C were the source of the biochar. According to the results, adding biochar to conventional irrigation increases fruit weight by 125% and yield by about 130%. Drip irrigation with 4% biochar, on the other hand, is the most successful technique and yields much larger improvements, increasing fruit weight by 764% and fruit yield by 324%. Drip irrigation is more effective and yields better results than conventional irrigation, especially when combined with rice husk biochar. Furthermore, soil porosity and water use efficiency are significantly increased when 4% and 6% doses of biochar are added to drip irrigation systems.

Abstract

In mining areas, improper soil management frequently leads to soil degradation and the depletion or loss of N, P, and K nutrients. Bicomat is known as an effective amendment for improving physical properties in the short term, whereas its effects on chemical properties generally become evident only in the long term. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of combining Bicomat and Tithonia compost on the chemical properties of Group-C post-mining soil after planting mustard greens. This study was conducted from October to December 2024 at the Science Technopark of Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University, Malang City, at an altitude of approximately 450 meters above sea level. The study employed a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 8 treatments and 3 replications. The tested treatments consisted of: KT1 (Non-Mining Soil Control), KT2 (Group-C Mining Soil Control), T1P1B1 (Soil 1, 200 g fertilizer, 10 t ha⁻¹ Bicomat), T1P1B2 (Soil 1, 200 g fertilizer, 20 t ha⁻¹ Bicomat), T1P2B2 (Soil 1, 300 g fertilizer, 20 t ha⁻¹ Bicomat), T2P1B1 (Soil 2, 200 g fertilizer, 10 t ha⁻¹ Bicomat), T2P1B2 (Soil 2, 200 g fertilizer, 20 t ha⁻¹ Bicomat), and T2P2B2 (Soil 2, 300 g fertilizer, 20 t ha⁻¹ Bicomat). The results showed that the combination of Bicomat and compost had a significant effect on improving the chemical properties of the Group-C post-mining soil. The best results for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were obtained from treatment T1P2B2, while treatments T1P1B1 and T2P1B1 yielded the best results for organic C.
