Abstract

Chaya leaves (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Mill.) I.M. Johnst.) are leafy vegetables that contain many vitamins and minerals. Information about the intensification of chaya cultivation is still rare. Chaya propagated by stem cuttings. The maturity level of stem cuttings and planting media were expected to affect the success of plant propagation. This study aims to determine the maturity level of cuttings material that can grow well and deter-mine the type of media that can support the growth of chaya propagation. This research has been carried out from July to October 2022 in an off-campus experimental outdoor facility located in Inderalaya, South Suma-tra. This study was conducted using a randomized block design with 2 factors. The first factor was the level of maturity of stem cuttings material (upper, middle, and basal), and the second factor was the type of growing medium (control, chicken manure, and cow manure). The results showed that the use of cuttings from the mid-dle and basal has a better percentage of growth ability than the upper cuttings. Chaya plants used basal stem cuttings exhibited slower shoot grow but produced higher number of leaves, greater leaf area, canopy area, and biomass. The use of cow manure in a mixture of growing medium gave the best results on growth of chaya plants.

Abstract

Swiss chard is a leafy vegetable that is high in nutrients, vitamins, minerals, protein, and antioxidants that are beneficial to human health. Swiss chard. Swiss chard is generally cultivated in the Mediterranean climate, grows well in full sunlight, air temperatures 14-21oC, and can still survive at temperatures close to light frost. The aim of this study to evaluate efficient plant densi-ties in urban limited land area and looking at the response of Swiss chard plant to reduc-ing the intensity of sunligt of 45%, 55% and 80%.in urban tropic area. This research was used 4 different artificial shading i.e 0% (control, shade 45%, shade 55% and shade 80%. Microclimate was measured per each shade for 14 days i.e., air temperatur, soil temperature, air humidity, and soil moisture using a data logger meter. Shade with intensity 80% is proven to reduce air temperate and soil temperature, but also inhibits the growth and development of Swiss chard plants. Population 1plant/pot gives the best growth and yield of Swiss chard per plant, 3 plants/pot increased total fresh weight per cultivation area, thereby maximize the use of limited urban land

Abstract

Yard-long bean, a favored vegetable known for its taste and nutritional value, holds economic importance. Its climbing nature and environmental resilience make it ideal for urban cultivation in pots and climbing frames. This study, conducted in a limited urban space, aimed to determine optimal pot size and cultivars for yard-long bean cultivation, emphasizing growth and yield. Two pot sizes were used: a larger one (30 cm diameter x 37 cm height, M1) and a smaller one (30 cm diameter x 30 cm height, M2), alongside three commercial cultivars: Kanton Tavi (V1), Camellia (V2), and Arafi (V3). Results indicated that a larger pot size increased pod number and total pod weight per plant, facilitating root development, vine growth, and enhanced yield. The larger substrate volume retained moisture and boosted plant biomass. Cultivar treatment affected branch length and flowering time, with Camellia exhibiting the longest harvest period (14 harvests). Hence, for Camellia varieties, cultivation using larger pots (30 cm diameter x 37 cm height) is recommended.

Abstract

Porang cultivation can be carried out using three planting materials, namely true seeds, bulbils, and cormel, these three planting materials experience dormancy. Potassium Nitrate Solution (KNO3) is a chemical compound that is effective in breaking the dormancy of some plant seeds.This study aims to the effect of shading, soaking with KNO3 and bulbil conditions on the emergence of shoots and the growth of porang plants. The research was conducted in September 2021 to November 2021. The design used was split split plot using three factors, shading (N) as the main plot, namely N0: without shade, N1: 45%, N2: 55%, N3: 80%, KNO3 concentration (K) as subplots, namely K0: Without immersion KNO3, K1: 1500 ppm, K2: 3000 ppm, K3: 4500 ppm and bulbil conditions (D) as sub-sub plots, namely D0: Dormant and D1: Mentis. The data collected included the percentage of shoots emergence, time of shoot emergence, broken petiole sheath, leaf open fully, shoot height, number of shoots, number of leaves, petiole length, petiole diameter, midrib length, leaf width, leaf area and leaf thickness. The results showed that shading 55% and bulbil mentis accelerated the emergence of shoot at 26 DAP and 26.9 DAP, respectively. Soaking in KNO3 solution did not accelerate the emergence of shoots. The emergence of shoots affects the time of petiole sheath break and the leaves open fully, the faster the emergence of shoot, the faster the petiole sheath breaks, the faster the leaves open fully. Shade 80% increases the growth of porang plants with the longest leaf petiole of 22.6 cm; petiole diameter 5.5 mm; midrib length 10.34 cm; the width of the leaflets is 4.7 cm and the leaf area is 183.2 cm², except for the thickness of the leaves.
