Abstract

Regency of Deli Serdang in the Province of Sumatera Utara has high diversity of landrace rice that has adapted to various climatic and edaphic condition including drought. Studies on various local rice genotypes tolerant to drought is of important to be carried out. This will help plant breeders with germplasms for future breeding program. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a water-soluble compound with high osmotic pressure and unlikely to have specific interaction with biological chemicals. With these properties, PEG is often be used in studies of plant response to drought stress. The experiment reported here was aimed at determining rice genotypes, local to Regency of Deli Serdang, tolerant to drought. The experiment was carried out at Laboratory of Physiology and Glass House of Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara, Medan from February to April 2020. A two-way factorial experiment was assigned in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 replicates. The first factor was 23 local rice genotypes plus 4 genotypes tolerant to drought and the second factor was the concentration of PEG 6000 i. e 0 and 20% (w/v). Observations included percent of germination, plant height, length and number of roots protruding from paraffin-wax layer, leaf chlorophyll content, seedling fresh and dry weight, index of tolerance, probability of resistance, and proline content. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance and mean separation of DNMRT at 5%. Results demonstrated that 6 local rice genotypes, Gemuruh, Ramos Merah, Arias, Sialus, Silayur, and Sirabut were resistant to drought stress under the experimental condition.

Abstract

Edamame has been known as a vegetable soybean that is highly nutritious and has become popular in Indonesia. As for other crops, soybean cannot avoid the presence of weedy plants in the field. The study reported here aimed at determining the effect of tillage on weed and the growth and yield of soybean for edamame production. A randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three repetitions was used for the three tillage systems (zero, reduced, and conventional tillage). Data of soybean growth and yield component were collected and analysed with analysis of variance and mean separation of DNMRT at 5% level. Results show that most growth and yield parameter components (plant height, number of primary branches, number of leaves, number of pods per plant, pod weight per plant, number of seeds per plant, and yield) were highest in favor of reduced tillage system. The highest yield of edamame soybean (13.50 ton ha-1) was observed in the treatment group of reduced tillage and the effect was similar to that of conventional tillage (13.29 ton ha-1). Reduced and conventional tillage resulted in the emergence of new weed species such as Digitaria sanguinalis and Synedrella nodiflora with the total SDR value for all treatment groups of 54.38% and 37.74%, respectively. In contrast, the application of herbicide glyphosate prior to land cultivation has completely controlled Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) and rough Mexican clover (Richardia scabra L.).

Abstract

Modeling science has been applied by many advanced countries in many fields, such as geology, meteorology, climate change, crop productivity, environment, erosion, and landslide. The crop model simulates the processes of agriculture. The writing of this article is descriptive qualitative using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. So far, each model has its advantages and disadvantages but generally is based on the physiology of the growth and development of crops in relationship with soil, climate, solar radiation energy, and limiting factors to plant growth. There have been many models for rice that can forecast yield and biomass or predict future climate change dynamics. Meanwhile, many models such as DSSAT, AquaCrop, Oryza, APSIM, EPIC need more data to operate their modeling, which in many cases, data is not readily available. In this review, we would like to introduce the model “SIMPLE” which includes only thirteen parameters and four of which describe cultivar characteristics. Another advantage of “SIMPLE” is that it can be adapted for many crop species and added variable modules such as nutrient dynamics, water stress, temperature stress, or pests. It is entirely open source based on R programming, but limitations still exist that have been mentioned in the review.

Abstract

Lignin reduced the adhesion between the polymeric matrix and natural reinforcement in composite materials by its hydrophobic characteristic. Removal of lignin can be a solution to improve fiber function in composite use. This study aimed to determine the degradation of lignin at different times of pulping. The soda process was conducted at 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 minutes of pulping using heat in a room atmosphere. Yields, lignin content, and lignin spectrum (FT-IR analysis) were measured.  The result showed the highest degradation of lignin was in 100 minutes of pulping with 80.34% lignin degradation and 3.57% lignin left in fibers. However, the yield of fibers decreased with increasing pulping time due to lignin removal. 100 minutes of pulping time showed the highest loss of fiber yield. This study showed the best pulping time for kapok fiber is 100 minutes with 3.57 % lignin remaining in the pulp.
