Abstract

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a plant whose leaves are consumed. The consumers of lettuce plants ranged from the lower to the upper-class societies. Fertilization is one of the technologies that need special care to increase the quality and quantity of the plant’s yields. Cow urine is one of the growth regulators that can be used. Not only it is easier to obtain, but also simpler the apply. Bagasse is a waste material that is usually thrown into an open place without further process, which can cause environmental disturbance and bad smell. This research aims to determine the effect of bagasse compost dosage and concentration of cow urine liquid on the growth and yield of lettuce plants. This research used a factorial randomized block design (RCBD) consisting of two factors. First, bassage compost (T) consisting of 0 g/polybag, 100 g/polybag, and 200 g/polybag, and second, cow urine liquid organic fertilizer (C) which also with three levels consisting of 0 ml/liter, 300 ml/liter, and 400 ml/liter of water. The results shows that 100 grams/polybag of bagasse compost and 300 ml/liter of cow urine liquid organic fertilizer each improve lettuce growth. Combined, they significantly enhance plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight.

Abstract

One of the medicinal plants that contain high antioxidants and have an important role in nutritional needs is pomegranate. Pomegranate plant propagation can be done generative and vegetatively.  Sexual propagation is constrained because pomegranate plants have dormancy properties and hard seed coats that cause seed germination to take a long time. Effectiveness of sulfuric acid is used to break dormancy in hard seed coats so that the inhibition process goes well, and the germination process is faster.  This research aims to determine the effect of concentration and duration of immersion in sulfuric acid solution on the germination of pomegranate seeds. This research used a two-factor randomized block design. The first factor was sulfuric acid concentration (control, 65%, 70%, 75%).  The second factor is the immersion time (without immersion, 5 minutes. 10 minutes. 15 minutes).  Each treatment was repeated 3 times.

Abstract

Soursop is an annual plant that is rich in nutrients. The problem in soursop cultivation is that soursop has a hard seed coat, which causes the seeds to be impermeable to gases and air, inhibiting germination. Soursop seed dormancy can be broken by scarification and sulfuric acid immersion. This research aims to determine the effect of scarification position and sulfuric acid concentration on the viability of soursop seeds. The research used a completely randomized factorial pattern (CRD), which consisted of two factors with three replications. The first factor was the scarification position consisting of S0 (without scarification), S1 (base scarification), S2 (tip scarification) and S3 (middle scarification). The second factor was the sulfuric acid concentration consisting of K0 (control), K1 (10%), K2 (20%), and K3 (30%). The results showed an interaction between the treatment of scarification position and the concentration of sulfuric acid (c) on germination capacity and growth speed parameters. The combination of S0K1 (without scarification and 10% sulfuric acid) increased soursop seeds' germination and growth speed.
