Abstract

Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is valued for its anti-diabetic properties due to terpenoid compounds like charantin, but production struggles to meet market demands. This study aimed to analyze the response of plant growth characteristics, fruit production, and terpenoid compound production in bitter melon fruit by improving phosphorus availability through guano fertilizer application as additional organic fertilizer in organic cultivation. The experiment was conducted from May to September 2024 at the IPB experimental station in Cikarawang, Bogor, Indonesia. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with varying guano fertilizer doses (0, 152, 304, and 456 g per plant). Observations were conducted on 10 sample plants per experimental unit. The observed characteristics included vegetative and reproductive growth, fruit production, and total terpenoid production. Terpenoid analysis was performed using a colorimetric method with an ELISA reader. The results showed that guano fertilizer significantly affected several plant growth and production variables. Higher doses increased several values of vegetative growth parameters, flower numbers, and fruit production. The 304 g guano per plant yielded the highest concentration and production of terpenoids. This study demonstrates the potential of guano fertilizer to enhance bitter melon growth, yield, and terpenoid content, contributing to improved production to meet market demands.

Abstract

Purple cleome (Cleome rutidosperma) is a medicinal plant known for its flavonoid content, which confers multiple pharmacological benefits. However, cultivation methods to optimize both biomass production and bioactive compound accumulation remain underdeveloped. This study aimed to assess the influence of planting media composition and harvesting frequency on the growth, yield, and total flavonoid concentration of purple cleome. The experiment was conducted in Gunung Batu, Bogor, Indonesia, from January to April 2025, employing a two-factor randomized block design. The first factor was planting media composition, with four treatments: 100% soil (0) and soil mixed with cow manure at ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 (v/v). The second factor was harvesting frequency, with two levels: A single harvest at 8 weeks after planting (WAP) and two harvests at 4 and 8 WAP. Results indicated that all tested media compositions supported plant growth effectively. Notably, total flavonoid concentration was significantly higher at 4 WAP compared to 8 WAP. Moreover, cumulative flavonoid yield from two harvests was significantly greater, reaching 5,639.80 mg quercetin equivalents (QUE) per plant dry weight, compared to 1,456.50 mg QUE per plant from a single harvest. These findings suggest that harvesting at multiple intervals enhances flavonoid yield in purple cleome cultivation.

Abstract

Polyscias scutellaria can be planted as hedge plants at home. This plant has many advantages, one of which is a hair tonic that already has a patent number. To be used on an industrial scale, it is necessary to provide raw materials on a large scale, which can be done by planting in certain regions. The objective is that the empowerment of the PKK in Pasirwangi District, Garut will make the Pasirwangi sub-district one of the centers for producing P. scutellaria leaf raw materials. The activities carried out include educating on the use of medicinal plants, especially P. scutellaria and ginger, practicing training on planting techniques, cultivating them, and giving P. scutellaria cuttings and post-harvest processing techniques. This activity is an activity of the IPB Lecturer Homecoming Program in 2022 which is carried out in several stages. Evaluation and monitoring of cultivation executed two months after training. The evaluation results showed that there was an increase in knowledge related to the cultivation of P. scutellaria and participants cultivated P. scutellaria in their garden after the training was more than 90%. All of the participant’s responses to the training carried out stated that it was very useful and hoped that the activities would be sustainable.
