Abstract

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a fruit known for its sweet and refreshing taste. Traditionally, melon cultivation has relied on conventional farming methods. The use of biofertilizers offers an alternative to reduce dependency on synthetic fertilizers. This study aimed to enhance the production of healthy, high-yielding melon plants by substituting Mutiara NPK fertilizer with Bioto Grow Gold (BGG) biofertilizer. Conducted in Sukosongo Village, Kembangbau District, Lamongan Regency, East Java, the experiment employed a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD).Two factors were tested: BGG fertilizer at four concentrations (0 ml/L [P0], 1 ml/L [P1], 2 ml/L [P2], and 4 ml/L [P3]) and NPK fertilizer at four doses (0 g/plant [N0], 60 g/plant [N1], 70 g/plant [N2], and 80 g/plant [N3]). Results indicated that BGG fertilizer influenced both vegetative and generative growth variables, as did the Mutiara NPK fertilizer doses. The optimal combination was achieved with a BGG concentration of 3 ml/L and an NPK dose of 70 g/plant, which significantly increased the sucrose content in melons. Keywords: Bioto Grow Gold fertilizer, Biofertilizer, Melon, NPK Mutiara fertilizer.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the optimal harvest time and packaging type to preserve the quality of Inpari 32 rice seeds during storage. Conducted at the Food and Horticultural Plant Seed Supervision and Certification Unit in East Java from November 2023 to April 2024, the research used a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Harvest age treatments were 110, 120, 130, and 140 days after seedling (DAS), while packaging types included plastic sacks, polyethylene (PE) sacks, polypropylene (PP) sacks, and aluminium foil. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. Results showed that harvesting at 120 DAS with PP sacks yielded the highest starch content, while 140 DAS with aluminium foil resulted in the lowest reducing sugar content. Optimal germination and growth speed were achieved at 130 DAS, which also minimized electrical conductivity. Harvesting at 140 DAS produced the highest 1000-grain weight. Aluminium foil packaging maintained the lowest moisture content and significantly improved germination and growth speed compared to other packaging types. These findings suggest that optimizing harvest age and packaging type can significantly improve seed viability and storage performance.

Abstract

This study aimedto evaluate the effects of combined NPK fertilizer and guano application on the growth and yield of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.). The experiment employed a factorial randomized block design with two factors: NPK fertilizer dosage (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of recommended rates) and guano dosage (5, 10, and 15 tons/ha). Observed parameters included plant height, leaf count, number of flowers, number of pegs, and fresh/dry pod weight per plant. Results demonstrated that the combination of 25% NPK and 15 tons/ha guano significantly improved plant height (43.29 cm), flower count (47.33), and fresh pod weight (81.73 g/plant). Guano alone also exhibited a substantial effect on both vegetative and generative growth, with the highest results observed at 15 tons/ha. The combination of low NPK and high guano dosages enhances Bambara groundnut productivity sustainably.
