Abstract

Introduction: Nutrient-poor soil can lead to reduced crop yields. Biochar-organic fertilizer has demonstrated positive effects over several growing seasons. However, the efficacy of biochar-organic fertilizers varies based on the raw materials used and the duration of their application in the soil. This study aims to assess the residues of biochar, manure, and compost one year after their application on maize plants in Alfisol. Methods: A 300 kg/ha dosage was employed for a single treatment of biochar, manure, and compost. Additionally, biochar was combined with manure or compost at a dose of 150 kg/ha each. The experiment utilized a randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications, including a control group. The treatments comprised biochar made from coconut shell and husk, compost, manure, shell+compost biochar mixture, shell+manure biochar mixture, husk+compost biochar mixture, and husk+manure biochar mixture. Corn variety Pertiwi 3 was harvested upon reaching physiological maturity. Results: Combining husk biochar with chicken manure exhibited the most favorable response regarding plant height, leaf area, and weight. Furthermore, combining cob biochar and chicken manure yielded optimal cob length, weight without seeds, and seed weight. Conclusion: After one year, applying shell biochar mixed with manure demonstrated the most significant residual effect on corn plants.

Abstract

This study reviews the impact of pest and disease attacks on shallot plants (Allium ascalonium L.) and control strategies to increase plant production. Pests such as Spodoptera exigua (onion caterpillar), Thrips tabaci (thrips), Spodoptera ltura F. (armyworm), Liriomyza spp. (leaf slitting fly), and Gryllotalpa spp. (orong-orong), as well as diseases such as trotol or purple spot (Purple blotch), anthracnose (Antracnose), downy mildew, moler or fusarium wilt (Twisting disease), leaf blight (Stemphylium leaf blight), and leaf spot (Cercospora leaf spot) cause a significant decrease in production hasl. Pest and disease control still relies heavily on chemical pesticides, which pose a risk to the environment and health. Alternative sustainable control such as the use of biopesticides from mahogany seed extract (Swietenia mahagoni), Japanese papaya leaf extract (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius), and legundi weed extract (Vitex trifolia L.), as well as the application of Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms (PGPM) from bamboo root can have a very good influence on controlling pests and diseases of shallot plants and can help in increasing plant productivity

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

Bayam merah (Amaranthus tricolor L.) memiliki nilai gizi dan ekonomi yang tinggi, tetapi produktivitasnya di wilayah tropis seringkali tidak stabil karena penurunan kualitas tanah dan penggunaan pupuk yang tidak seimbang. Penggunaan pupuk kandang pada berbagai tipe tanah berpotensi meningkatkan kesuburan tanah dan pertumbuhan tanaman. Penelitian ini memakai Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) tersarang 2×3 dengan empat ulangan (72 unit) untuk mengevaluasi kombinasi dua jenis tanah (Inceptisol, Entisol) dan tiga jenis pupuk kandang (sapi, kambing, ayam). Parameter yang diukur meliputi pH tanah, kandungan N-total, C-organik, tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, luas daun, dan berat basah pada umur 4 MST. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan nutrisi tanah pada semua perlakuan. Kombinasi tanah Entisol dengan pupuk kambing memberikan hasil terbaik pada fase pertumbuhan vegetatif cepat, khususnya dari segi tinggi dan jumlah daun, serta menghasilkan berat basah tertinggi pada 4 MST. Di tanah Inceptisol, pupuk kambing juga menunjukkan performa yang lebih baik dibandingkan pupuk sapi dan ayam. Entisol, yang umumnya bertekstur lebih kasar, KTK rendah, dan termasuk tanah muda, mendapat manfaat dari penambahan bahan organik yang meningkatkan kadar C-organik, kapasitas menahan air, dan retensi kation, sedangkan pupuk kambing memberikan pelepasan nitrogen dan kalium secara bertahap yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan bayam merah yang tumbuh singkat. Penelitian ini menyarankan penggunaan pupuk kambing sebagai pilihan utama pupuk organik pada tanah Entisol; pupuk ayam dapat digunakan jika telah matang atau terkompos dengan baik, dan pupuk sapi lebih cocok sebagai bahan pembenah struktur tanah untuk efek jangka menengah.

Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) can be used as nanofertilizers and nanogrowth regulators to enhance plant agronomic performance. Nevertheless, far too little interest has been paid to the impacts of ZnO-NPs integrated with vermicompost in horticultural crop cultivation. This study investigated the effects of ZnO-NP-enhanced vermicompost (NEV) on the growth, leaf nutrient content, yield, and quality of tomato plants. A controlled greenhouse experiment was conducted, in which tomato plants were subjected to various treatments, including application of NEV combined with various doses of ZnO-NPs via direct soil and foliar spray, compared with control, NPK fertilizer, and vermicompost. The results showed that direct soil application of NEV positively affected tomato leaf growth and NPK content. This enhanced nutrient uptake contributed to increased tomato yield. The direct soil application of NEV (ZnO 50 mg kg-1) increased the tomato fruits (315% and 183%) and the fresh weight of tomato fruits (344% and 197%) in comparison to the control and NPK fertilizer. Additionally, the study demonstrated that applying NEV not only increased yield but also increased the vitamin C content of tomatoes. The findings highlight the potential of this innovative agricultural approach as a sustainable means to enhance tomato production.
