Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the potential of eco-enzyme (EE) derived from horticultural waste as an antifungal agent against Candida albicans, a major pathogen responsible for infections in both humans and plants. Eco-enzyme is a product of fermentation that involves using organic waste, such as fruit and vegetable peels, which are often discarded and contribute to environmental pollution. In this research, eco-enzyme was prepared using a variety of horticultural waste, including pineapple, orange, papaya, and mango peels. The eco-enzyme was then tested at various concentrations (1:0, 1:10, 1:50, and 1:100) to assess its antifungal activity against Candida albicans using the in-vitro disk diffusion method. The results indicated that eco-enzyme, particularly at the 1:50 dilution, demonstrated significant antifungal activity, with a clear inhibition zone observed around the disc. The presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins in the eco-enzyme is believed to be responsible for its ability to inhibit fungal growth by disrupting the cell membrane structure and metabolic functions of the pathogen. These findings suggest that eco-enzyme can serve as an effective natural alternative to conventional chemical antifungal agents, offering a more sustainable and eco-friendly solution for managing fungal infections. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the importance of utilizing agricultural waste for eco-enzyme production, providing an innovative way to address the global challenge of organic waste disposal while promoting sustainable agricultural practices. The research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the benefits of eco-enzyme in both agricultural and public health applications, offering promising possibilities for its wider use in fungal disease management

Abstract

This study discusses the sustainability performance of public green open space (RTH) in Medan City through an integrated approach that includes environmental quality, social quality, and accessibility. The methods used include regression analysis, correlation, and ANOVA to test the influence of each variable on urban sustainability. The results showed that these three variables had a significant effect, with the regression model able to explain 68.4% of the sustainability variance. Social quality was the most dominant factor (β = 0.412; r = 0.74), followed by environmental quality (r = 0.68) and accessibility (r = 0.61). Spatially, USU Urban Forest shows the highest ecological performance with a canopy cover of 78%, an NDVI value of 0.72, and a lower average microclimate temperature (27.1°C) compared to Ahmad Yani Park (29.3°C) and Gajah Mada Park (30.1°C). However, Taman Ahmad Yani obtained the highest overall sustainability score (85/100) because it was supported by superior social perception (4.35) and accessibility (4.60). Meanwhile, Taman Gajah Mada showed moderate performance (75.3/100), and USU Urban Forest received a lower score (70/100) due to limited facilities and access range. The results of the ANOVA test showed a significant difference between locations (Sig = 0.000), which indicates that the Green Open Space typology affects sustainability. Ahmad Yani Park tends to excel in social and accessibility aspects, while USU's urban forests play a greater role in ecological stability. This study confirms that the sustainability of urban RTH will be optimal if ecological, social, and accessibility functions are developed synergistically and not partially.

Abstract

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a type of horticultural plant that has high nutritional content and economic value, with good prospects for development. Lettuce is an annual plant that is easy to cultivate in various types of land and has a wide market. The research was conducted to determine the response of lettuce plant production (Lactuca sativa L.) to the application of lemna leaf compost enriched with goat manure and the use of variations of liquid organic fertilizer as ecoenzymes derivative in a hydroponic system. This research used a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of 2 factors with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The first factor was the variation of liquid organic fertilizer from ecoenzymes at 5 levels: P0 = AB Mix (control), P1 = POC 1 (Pure EE), P2 = POC 2 (EE + egg shells + pineapple), P3 = POC 3 (EE + moringa leaves + insulin leaves), P4 = POC 4 (EE + guava leaves + sweet potato leaves + long bean leaves), P5 = POC 5 (EE + water spinach + baby corn). The second factor was the concentration of ecoenzyme at 3 levels: E0 = 0%, E1 = 25%, E2 = 50%. The observed parameters in this research included plant height (cm), number of leaves (leaves), fresh weight per plant (g), stem diameter (cm), plant weight per plot (g), and root length (cm). The results showed that POC 5 (EE + Water Spinach + Baby corn) provided fairly good results, ranking second after AB Mix, in terms of plant height (cm), fresh weight per plant (g), stem diameter (cm), plant weight per plot (g), and root length (cm). This indicates that a combination of more diverse and natural organic materials can optimally support plant growth.

Abstract

Agricultural regional planning plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security, environmental sustainability, and balanced regional development in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, conventional planning approaches often rely on fragmented datasets and static decision-making processes, limiting their ability to respond to dynamic agricultural and environmental conditions. This study proposes a Big Data Analytics-based Precision Agricultural Regional Planning framework that integrates multi-source datasets, including satellite remote sensing, climate records, soil characteristics, topography, land use, socioeconomic indicators, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data. The framework employs advanced machine learning algorithms, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and spatial analytics to identify agricultural land suitability, predict crop productivity, optimize resource allocation, and assess climate-related risks. A multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach is incorporated to prioritize strategic agricultural development zones based on economic, environmental, and social sustainability indicators. The proposed model is validated using regional agricultural data through predictive accuracy metrics, spatial validation, and scenario analysis. The findings demonstrate that integrating Big Data Analytics significantly improves planning precision, enhances land-use efficiency, reduces production risks, and supports evidence-based policymaking. Furthermore, the framework contributes directly to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by improving agricultural productivity, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) through digital agriculture technologies, SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) via optimized resource utilization, SDG 13 (Climate Action) by strengthening climate resilience, and SDG 15 (Life on Land) through sustainable land management. This research provides a scalable and intelligent decision-support framework for policymakers, regional planners, and agricultural stakeholders seeking to implement precision agriculture strategies for sustainable regional development.

Abstract

Land cover change is one of the major drivers of environmental degradation, significantly affecting soil quality and water availability, particularly in rapidly developing regions. This study aims to analyze land cover changes and assess their impacts on soil quality and water availability over a multi-year period. The research employed a quantitative approach using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Multi-temporal satellite imagery was used to identify land cover changes, while soil quality indicators and hydrological parameters were analyzed to evaluate environmental impacts. The results indicate a substantial conversion of vegetated areas into agricultural land and built-up areas, leading to increased soil degradation, reduced soil organic matter, and declining water availability. Areas experiencing intensive land cover change showed higher vulnerability to erosion and reduced water infiltration capacity. These findings highlight the critical role of sustainable land management and spatial planning in mitigating the negative impacts of land cover change. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and environmental managers in developing effective strategies to preserve soil quality and ensure sustainable water resources.

Abstract

Soil degradation remains a critical challenge in tropical agricultural areas due to intensive land use, unsustainable farming practices, deforestation, and climate variability, which collectively threaten agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. This study aims to analyze sustainable land management (SLM) strategies in controlling soil degradation in tropical agricultural areas. The research employs a descriptive-analytical approach based on secondary data obtained from scientific publications, government reports, and international databases, complemented by a comparative analysis of various land management practices applied in tropical regions. The analysis focuses on key SLM strategies, including soil conservation techniques, agroforestry systems, integrated nutrient management, land-use planning, and community-based land management. The results indicate that the implementation of sustainable land management practices significantly contributes to reducing soil erosion, improving soil fertility, and enhancing land productivity while maintaining ecological balance. Agroforestry and conservation agriculture are identified as the most effective strategies due to their ability to integrate economic, environmental, and social benefits. However, the effectiveness of these strategies is strongly influenced by institutional support, farmer awareness, policy consistency, and local socio-economic conditions. This study highlights the importance of integrated and adaptive land management policies to mitigate soil degradation and promote long-term agricultural sustainability in tropical regions. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in developing effective land management frameworks to support sustainable agricultural development.
