Abstract

-Sapodilla is a climacteric fruit that widely cultivated in tropical areas, so proper post-harvest handling is required. Natural ripening results in uneven levels of fruit ripeness. The proper ripening techniques can control fruit ripeness uniformly. This study aims to known the effect of traditional ripening methods on the percentage of weight loss and physical changes, including color and texture of sapodilla fruit. The ripening techniques used were: 1. sunlight, 2. soaked in rice, 3. wrapped in linen, and 4. wrapped in paper. Ripening was carried out for 5 days, and observations were made on days 0, 1, 3, and 5 for weight loss, color, and texture. Based on the results, the traditional ripening method significantly affected the percentage of fruit weight loss and affected color and texture during the ripening process. The rate of weight loss on the fifth day of observation from highest to lowest was sunlight treatment (10.68%), linen (10.31%), paper (9.31%), and rice (8.12%). Changes in color and firmness began to occur on the first day of ripening using linen and rice. The linen and rice ripening treatment produced the sapodilla with the fastest ripening rate, as observed in the color and firmness of the sapodilla fruit after five days of ripening.

Abstract

Riau Province has significant potential for tomato production, with harvested area increasing from 44 ha (2021) to 45 ha (2022) and productivity reaching 4.48 tons/ha. However, weed competition is a major obstacle to yield optimization. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the interaction of palm kernel shell mulch and rice husk mulch in suppressing weeds and increasing tomato yields. The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experiment, involving two factors: palm kernel shell mulch thickness (0 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm) and rice husk mulch thickness (0 cm, 0.75 cm, 1.5 cm), each replicated three times. Observation parameters included plant height, stem diameter, number of productive branches, fruit weight per plant, total harvested fruit, and wet and dry weed weight. The results showed that the combination of 4 cm palm shell mulch and 1.5 cm rice husk (C2S2) provided the best results, including the highest plant height (67.67 cm), the highest fruit weight per plant (1,175.10 g), the highest number of fruits (31.33 fruits), and the lowest dry weight of weeds (41.67 g). The interaction of the two mulch types significantly affected plant growth and weed suppression, although not significantly for some parameters such as stem diameter and number of productive branches. Organic mulch also helped improve soil structure, reduce water evaporation, and provide additional nutrients for plants.
