Abstract

biodegradable polymer such as PVA is considered the most promising candidates for developing the sustainable sticker. The objective of this study was to determine the most suitable PVA + TS blends as adhesives agent for AMF spores inoculation via seed coating which can enhance the spores viability and their beneficial properties in maize. The polythene bag experiment was performed in a screen house of the Department of Plant Protection Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu Indonesia in 2015. Six adhesive blends were employed: 100% PVA + 0% TS, 75% PVA + 25% TS, 50% PVA + 50% TS, 25% PVA + 75% TS, 0% PVA + 100% TS, and no coating. The six experimental treatments were laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications. The results show that root colonization, AMF spore population, and shoot dry weight in 75% PVA + 25% TS were equal to those in 100% PVA. Root colonization, AMF spore population, shoot P content, and shoot P concentration were greater for 50% PVA + 50% TS than 100% PVA, 100% TS, and no coating. A mixture of 50% PVA + 50% TS was considered the preferred sticker. Thus, the tapioca starch can be used to substitute 25 - 50% of the PVA used without reducing AMF inoculant adhering to seed.Keywords: polymeric seed coating, seed coating formulation, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, sustainable coating adhesive, seed inoculation, seed inoculant

Abstract

Extending the planting area to a less-fertile soil, such as Ultisols, become inevitable choice to increase the national chili pepper production in Indonesia as this types of soil is the largest part of dry land of Indonesia, about 29.7% or around 51 million ha.  However, efforts to increase its productivity by providing sufficient fertilizers application is most frequently inefficient because in the conventional fertilizer applications, broadcasted fertilizer on the soil bed, are not readily available for the plant as their solubility is limited under the plastic mulch and still in the form of granular until the end of planting season.  Fertigation, therefore, maybe the answer for this problem.  The objective of this study was to determine the best NPK fertigation method on four chili pepper hybrids.  The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replication, and the treatments were arranged in a split plot design.  As the main plots were NPK fertigation intensity, i.e. 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% fertigation with the remnant fertilizers were circularly broadcasted surrounding the plant.  As the subplots were chili pepper hybrids, i.e. ‘Maxima’, H39, H14, and ‘UNIB CHR17’.  The results showed that there was no interaction effect of fertigation intensity indicated that all hybrid genotypes showed similar pattern of responses.  The H39 hybrid had better vegetative growth compared to other hybrids in term of plant height, dichotomous height, stem diameter, number of branches, plant fresh-weight.  Whereas the hybrid cultivar ‘Maxima’ showed the highest yield followed by H14 and cultivar ‘UNIB CHR17’.  The 100% fertigation was the best method of NPK fertilizer application for chili pepper in Ultisols.keywowrd: fertigation, chili pepper, fertilizer application, acidic soil

Abstract

Lettuce is a horticultural plant with a short harvest time that is a popular vegetable choice for planting in polybags in urban areas. Planting media for cultivating plants in  polybags vary widely. The use of nutrient-poor and acidic subsoil in Ultisols as a planting medium requires additional organic matter and lime that are suitable for the plants. This study evaluated the use of subsoil as a medium for growing lettuce by adding เว็บสล็อต | R4shub chicken manure and dolomite. The Completely Randomized Design was used, which consisted of two factors and 6 replications. The first factor was the dose of chicken manure consisting of: 0 ton/ Ha, 10 tons/Ha (38g /polybag), 20 tons/ Ha (76g/ polybag), and 30 tons/ Ha (115g /polybag). The second factor was the dolomite dose, consisting of no dolomite, 1xAl-exch, and 2xAl-exch. A dose of 20 tons /Ha of chicken manure combined with   1xAl-dd of dolomite increased the growth of plants. The treatment of chicken manure at 20 tons/Ha showed growth and yield of lettuce that were as good as a treatment dose of 30 tons/ Ha. The highest fresh weight (123.05g) was obtained from 30 tons/Ha-chicken manure treatment. The appropriate dose of dolomite for lettuce growth and yield was 1xAl-exch, which resulted in a plant fresh weight of 121.12 g. Subsoil is suitable to be used as a medium for planting lettuce in polybags by adding chicken manure or dolomite.  Keywords: organic matter, marginal soil, leafy vegetable, container veg production

Abstract

Coastal sandy soil has a low capacity to hold water and nutrients, trigerring high doses of fertilizer application. Therefore, this study aims to determine the optimal mixture of urea and zeolite-based slow-release fertilizers (SRF) that can reduce application of inorganic fertilizer while improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), growth dynamics, and yield of pak choy cultivated on coastal Entisols. This research was conducted from October to December 2023 in the Plant and Soil Research field  on the outskirts of the Bengkulu University campus. The treatments used were a combination of urea and SRF, consisting of 0% N-Urea, 100% N-Urea, 75% N-Urea + 25% N-SRF, 50% N-Urea + 50% N-SRF, 25% N-Urea + 75% N-SRF, and 100% N-SRF. The study was set up in a completely randomized design with five replications. The results demonstrated that the treatments enhanced the growth and biomass yield of pak choy, as well as NUE. The combination of 50% N-Urea + 50% N-SRF (equal to 200 kg urea ha-1 + 608.5 kg SRF ha-1) resulted in higher leaf area, fresh shoot weight, dry shoot weight, fresh plant weight, N- uptake, and NUE compared with the application of 100% N-Urea (400 kg urea ha-1). The NUE for the combination of 50% N-Urea + 50% N-SRF was 36.36%, which was 13.63% compared to 100% N-Urea with an NUE of 34.09%. Therefore, using this SRF allows for a reduction in urea requirements by up to 50%.NUE and nitrogen uptake show a very high positive association (r=0.941, p<0.01).

Abstract

Blewah (C. melo var. Cantalupensis) is one specific type of melon with fresh and fragrance arome when the fruit is ripe.  Mostly the plant is grown in Java island of Indonesia.  There is no research-based  information about technique of cultivationof this plant, so this experiment was done to study population density to determine the optimal spacing for growth and yield of blewah.  The experiment has been implemented from February 2016 until May 2016 in the experimental field of the University of Bengkulu. This study used a complete Randomized Complete Block Design with different population density treatments i.e.: plant density of 4 plants per plot of 10 m2 (plant spacing 100 cm x 250 cm);  plant density of 6 plants per plot, (plant spacing 100 cm x 166 cm); plant density of 8 crops per plot (spacing of 100 cm x 120 cm); plant density of 10 plants per plot (plant spacing 100cm x 100 cm); plant density of 12 plants per plot (plant spacing 100 cm x 83 cm); plant density of 14 plants per plot (plant spacing 100 cm x 72 cm); and plant density of 16 plants per plot (plant spacing 100cm x 62 cm). Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The experiment showed that the optimal spacing for growing blewah was at population density 12 plants/10 m2 or 12,000 plant/ha, plant spacing 100 cm x 83 cm. This arrangement of plant yielded the length of  plant, the number of branches, the diameter of the fruit, the plant dry weight, the weight of the fruit per plot, and fruit thickness of 224.47 cm, 3.67, 9.61 cm, 22.15 g, 7044.80 g,  and 2.21 cm respectively.Keywords: blewah, Cucumis melo var.

Abstract

Growing lettuce on lowland mineral soil is an alternative to increase lettuce production. Mineral soil with less fertile soil property needs additional organic matter when it is used as growing medium for lettuce plants . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the growth and yield of lettuce on some mineral soil types and different doses of cow manure. The research was conducted in Surabaya village, Sungai Serut District, Bengkulu City. The experiment used a completely randomized design, two factors, five replications. The first factor was the three types of mineral soils, consisted of Inceptisol, Ultisol and Entisol. The second factor was dose of cow manure, consisted of 0 ton/ha, 5 ton/ha (7.065 g/polybag), 10 ton/ ha (14.13g/polybag), and 15 ton/ha (21.19 g/polybag ). Each combination was repeated 5 times in order to obtain 60 experimental units. The results showed that the mineral Ultisol generally resulted in better growth of lettuce plants than it was at Inceptisol and Entisols, which were indicated by the higher degree of the leaf greenness leaves, root fresh weight and shoot fresh weight. Dosage of fertilizer up to 15 tonnes/ha significantly increased shoot fresh weight and root fresh weight of plants. The interaction between soil types and doses of cow manure occured only on the variable of root fresh weight when it was grown on Ultisol with dose of cow manure at 8.07 tonnes/ha.

Abstract

Goat manure contains high potassium, thus it is expected to reduce  the usage of synthetic potassium fertilizer. Incubation of goat manure is needed prior to planting since the nutrients are slow release. The objective of the experiment was to find the best time application and dose of potassium on growth and yield of melon. Container experiment using polybags was set in Completely Randomized Design.  Goat manure were incorporated into soil at the time of transplanting (0 DBT), 5 days before transplanting (5 DBT), and 10 DBT. The dose of potassium was consisted of 0 kg/ha, 200 kg/ ha and 400 kg/ha. The treatments were repeated 3 times, each of which consisted of 4 plants. Growth and yield of plants showed no response to the interaction between the two factors of treatment. Single effect of time applicaton of goat manure 10 DBT affected leaf area (1619.51 cm2), fruit weight (872 g), fruit diameter (16.19 cm) and the thickness of edible fruit part (2.61 cm). The dose of potassium 400 kg/ha increased fruit sweetness to 8.20Brix.
