Abstract

Cucumber production relies heavily on high-quality seeds, yet prolonged storage often leads to a significant decline in seed vigor and viability, characterized by reduced germination and non-uniform growth. To address this challenge, invigoration techniques through seed priming offer a promising solution to revitalize aged seeds, which also aligns with global sustainability efforts in preserving genetic resources and ensuring food security. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various invigoration treatments in enhancing the viability and vigor of expired cucumber seeds from different storage periods. The research utilized a factorial split-plot design with two factors, consisting of invigoration treatments (Control, KH₂PO₄, PEG, and Distilled Water) and storage periods (9 years, 7 years, and 5 years). The variables observed included radicle emergence (RE) at 24 and 48 hours, germination capacity, percentage of abnormal seedlings, and vigor index. The results showed that all invigoration treatments significantly improved seed performance compared to the control. The KH₂PO₄ treatment was the most effective for rapid improvement within 24 hours, showing a strong correlation (R=0.99) with increased vigor and a reduction in abnormal seedlings (R=0.85). However, distilled water showed the best performance for 48-hour RE, particularly when applied to 5-year stored seeds, reaching an 88% germination rate and the highest vigor index of 80%. In conclusion, invigoration is a viable method to restore the quality of aged seeds, with KH₂PO₄ and distilled water being recommended for optimizing the performance of specific seed lots. Future studies could further explore the field establishment of these invigorated seeds under diverse environmental stress conditions.

Abstract

The development of fish feed fortification technology based on agricultural waste is one of the potential solutions to reduce feed production costs. Fish feed fortification can be derived from animal and plant sources, provided that the fortification ingredients contain protein, carbohydrates, fat, and other nutrients. Rice bran, an agricultural by-product, contains carbohydrates that can be utilized as raw material in fish feed formulation. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of fortified fish feed made from silk worm meal and fish meal fortified with rice bran waste on the growth and yield of Sangkuriang catfish (Clarias gariepinus). The research method employed a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with four treatments, namely: A (2.25% tapioca flour + 0.75% rice bran flour), B (2% tapioca flour + 1% rice bran flour), C (1.5% tapioca flour + 1.5% rice bran flour), and D (0.75% tapioca flour + 2.25% rice bran flour). Each treatment was replicated three times, resulting in a total of 12 experimental units. The results showed that treatment D (0.75% tapioca flour + 2.25% rice bran flour) was the best artificial feed formulation for Sangkuriang catfish grow-out, as indicated by higher absolute length gain, absolute weight gain, survival rate, and feed conversion ratio. The nutritional content of treatment D feed formulation (1:3), consisting of 0.75% tapioca flour + 2.25% rice bran flour, was 1.85% carbohydrate, 12.79% fat, and 31.01% protein.

Abstract

In recent years, the use of natural and local ingredients to improve the nutritional quality of feed, as well as fish health and growth, has required the addition of supplementary components such as phytobiotics and carbohydrates. The abundance of local ingredients like papaya leaves and cassava in the Bengkulu region presents great potential for their utilization as feed supplements for fish. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combining phytobiotic and carbohydrate supplementation on the growth performance of Nile tilapia. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a single factor and four treatments: A (basal diet), B (basal diet + 25% papaya leaf meal + 75% cassava meal), C (basal diet + 50% papaya leaf meal + 50% cassava meal), and D (basal diet + 75% papaya leaf meal + 25% cassava meal). Each treatment was replicated three times, resulting in a total of 15 experimental units. The results showed that diet formulation D (basal diet + 75% papaya leaf meal + 25% cassava meal) was the best treatment, as it produced the highest feed intake, better daily growth rate and biomass, and a relatively greater absolute length compared to the other treatments.
