Abstract

Bananas are a major horticultural commodity that makes a significant economic contribution in Indonesia. However, the productivity of this crop has declined drastically due to a blood disease infection caused by the banana. Blood Disease Bacterium (BDB). One type of pathogenic bacteria in the BDB group isRalstonia syzygii subsp. indonesian, which is known to be highly aggressive and easily spread. Efforts to control this disease generally rely on the use of synthetic bactericides, which risk environmental pollution and the development of pathogen resistance. Therefore, safer and more sustainable control alternatives are needed, such as the use of botanical pesticides from local plants. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of kratom leaf extract (Mitragyna speciosaKorth) on growthR. syzygii subsp. indonesianKratom leaf extract was obtained through a maceration method using 96% ethanol as a solvent, and antibacterial testing was conducted using agar diffusion techniques using paper discs. The extract concentrations tested included 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. The results showed that administration of kratom leaf extract (Mitragyna speciosa) at various concentrations is able to inhibit bacterial growthRalstonia syzygii subsp. indonesianin vitro. The average diameters of the inhibition zones observed for concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% were 4.15 mm; 6.71 mm; 7.75 mm; 8.39 mm; and 10.00 mm, respectively, while the control (0%) showed no antibacterial activity (0 mm). Further DMRT test results at the 5% level showed significant differences between treatments. This indicates that kratom leaf extract has potential as an antibacterial agent with the highest effectiveness obtained at a concentration of 25%.

Abstract

Celery (Apium graveolens L.) is a horticultural commodity of high economic value; however, its productivity often declines due to root-knot disease caused by Meloidogyne spp. nematodes. Infestation is characterized by symptoms such as leaf yellowing, stunted growth, and even plant death. This study aimed to determine the incidence level of root-knot disease in celery cultivated in Landasan Ulin Utara Urban Village, Banjarbaru City. The research was conducted from October 1 to 31, 2025, using a survey method involving direct field observation. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling technique with a diagonal cross pattern. The celery cultivation area was divided into five observation plots, each comprising ten observation points. Observations included identifying disease symptoms, assessing disease incidence, and performing descriptive data analysis. The results revealed variations in root-knot disease incidence levels across the observation plots. The incidence percentages for each plot were 30.14% (P1), 37.30% (P2), 94.30% (P3), 73.01% (P4), and 80.27% (P5), respectively. The highest incidence value reached 94.30%, with an overall average incidence of 63%, which is considered high. The high incidence level is suspected to be influenced by suboptimal planting spacing, environmental conditions favoring nematode development, the use of uncertified seeds, continuous monoculture cultivation, and uncontrolled use of chemical pesticides.
