Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of nanopriming using Padina minor nanoparticles on the germination parameters and early seedling growth of Kopay chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds, as well as to assess the physiological responses and enzyme activities associated with nanopriming treatment. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments: no priming, hydropriming, and nanopriming at concentrations of 100, 150, and 200 ppm, each with five replications. The observed parameters included time to germination emergence, germination potential, vigor index, root length, shoot length, and the activities of amylase and catalase enzymes. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the 5% significance level, followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that nanopriming significantly accelerated germination emergence and increased root length, with the best response observed at 100 ppm. However, the treatment did not have a significant effect on germination potential, vigor index, shoot length, or the activities of amylase and catalase during the early germination phase. Thus, Padina minor nanopriming contributes to the improvement of specific early growth parameters, particularly those related to germination speed and root development.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the dosage and application frequency of chicken bone meal on the growth of water spinach (Ipomoea reptans L.). The experiment employed a factorial design within a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of two factors, namely chicken bone meal dosage and application frequency. The observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, and plant dry weight. The results showed that both the dosage and application frequency of chicken bone meal significantly affected the growth of water spinach. A dosage of 60 g produced the highest dry weight, reaching 20.76 g, compared with 6.10 g in the control treatment, while an application frequency of once per week resulted in better plant growth. The interaction effect indicated that the A3B1 combination produced the best growth performance, with dry weight reaching 24.97 g. Therefore, the application of chicken bone meal at an appropriate dosage and frequency can optimize the growth of water spinach.
