Abstract

Sorghum is a potential alternative food source due to its high carbohydrate, fiber, and protein content, which surpasses that of rice, as well as its greater adaptability to marginal land and dry weather conditions. However, sorghum productivity is often hindered by suboptimal fertilizer use, necessitating additional solutions like biostimulants. Seaweed-based biostimulants, such as Padina minor, hold promise in enhancing plant growth by stimulating nutrient absorption, improving resistance to abiotic stress, and enriching soil quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of P. minor extract in increasing chlorophyll levels in sorghum plants. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with varying concentrations of P. minor extract (20%, 30%, and 40%) and application frequencies (1, 2, and 3 times). The research results showed that (1) a concentration of 20% with administration of the extract once gave a significant increase in chlorophyll levels compared to other concentrations and frequencies; (2) administration of biostimulants in low concentrations and with fewer administration frequencies has proven to be more effective; (3) higher concentrations and frequencies of biostimulants can cause toxicity to plants; (4) the use of P. minor extract as a biostimulant can be a sustainable alternative in agricultural practices to improve the quality and productivity of sorghum.

Abstract

The process of producing starch film using the casting method required a significant amount of time to obtain the desired film product. Therefore, this study was conducted to reduce the production time required for the starch film. The study used five varieties of starch: bengkoang starch, talas starch, glutinous rice flour, wheat flour, and MOCAF flour. The process involved homogenizing the starch and glycerol mixture utilizing a stirrer, followed by heating using a microwave and a compression process to accelerate the evaporation of water in the starch film. For the final drying stage, samples that had gone through this process were dried using a cabinet dryer. The result showed that the developed method of starch film requires only 60 minutes of the time needed compared to conventional casting method, which usually takes 5-48 hours. Furthermore, it was observed that starch film production using glutinous rice flour resulted in the highest tensile strength.
