Abstract

Mangroves are a unique ecology that resides in places with salinity, which are inundated at low tide when there is no flooding and at high tide. Mangrove forests that are increasingly damaged cause the quality and quantity to decrease. Using different species of fungi that can accelerate the growth of mangroves is one attempt to increase and get high-quality mangrove seeds. This study aims to shed light on the fungi that can dramatically improve the growth of Avicennia marina seedlings. Mangroves can absorb organic and non-organic materials produced by decomposing microorganisms, which come from leaf litter or other decomposed materials. In this experiment, several fungal species were used, including Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus sp. 2, and Aspergillus sp. 1. The findings demonstrated that the fungus might speed up A. marina seedling growth. The plant's height, diameter, leaf width, and total dry weight were all altered as a result. Based on the study's findings, it can be said that Aspergillus niger provided the best growth for A. marina seedlings

Abstract

Avocado is a multifunctional plant that can be utilized in all parts. The growth of avocado and its yield can be achieved by fulfilling requirements for the growth and maintenance of the plant well. Planting on dry land requires the addition of organic fertilizer and optimal water requirements to increase organic matter content and plant fertility. This research aims to obtain the optimal dosage of compost and watering intervals for the growth of avocado (Persea americana). The research was carried out in the Greenhouse Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara. This research used a factorial completely randomized design (F-CRD) with the addition of compost fertilizer doses (K0:0 kg, K1:0.5kg. K2: 1 kg. K3: 1.5 kg and K4: 2 kg) and watering intervals (A1: once a day. A2: once every three days. A3: once every five days and A4: once every seven days) with parameters of observation of height, diameter, top fresh weight, root fresh weight, top dry weight and root dry weight. The results showed that the interaction of compost and watering intervals significantly affected the height and diameter increase, root fresh weight, and root dry weight of avocado plants. The interaction of giving 1.5 kg of compost and watering intervals every day had the best effect on the growth and quality of avocado seedlings
