Abstract

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is one of the agricultural commodities with high economic value, but its cultivation faces various challenges, including climate change and suboptimal environmental management. Conventional microclimate control methods are primarily manual and reactive, often failing to maintain stable conditions during the critical phase of generation. Technological innovations, especially IoT-based microclimate controllers, enable real-time monitoring and automated regulation of temperature, humidity, and light, thereby reducing environmental fluctuations that negatively affect flowering and yield. This research aims to develop and apply an IoT-based microclimate controller that optimizes growth conditions during the generative phase of vanilla, and to evaluate its impact on growth and crop yields. The study was conducted over a 3-month generative period, using 30 vanilla plants per group (n = 60 in total), with three replications. Data were collected weekly and analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests to compare growth and yield performance. The results show that IoT-based microclimate controllers significantly improved optimal temperature and humidity stability, increasing plant growth and crop yields. The average stem length and number of flowers per plant increased by 30% and 25%, respectively, compared to the control group, while vanillin content rose from 1.8% to 2.5%. These findings offer new insights into sustainable vanilla cultivation management, which can be adopted by farmers to enhance productivity and quality. Recommendations for further research include developing more advanced systems, conducting cost-benefit analyses, and applying these technologies in different climatic conditions.

Abstract

An important factor in the growth and increase in the brix value of sugarcane is the fulfillment of the plant's nutrient needs through fertilization. Exploration and application of root bacteria can increase the population of nitrogen-fixing bacteria which can provide N nutrients that can be utilized by plants. Amino acids directly or indirectly in essential quantities can influence plant physiological activity and increase overall yield and quality. The research purpose is to determine and analyze the influence of the application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids on the growth and the brix value of sugarcane sap. This research used a Randomized Block Design experimental design, with one treatment factor: control (without application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids), application of sugarcane root bacteria, application of amino acids, and application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids. Data analysis with F test 5%. The result of the research showed that the application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids had a very significant effect on the plant height and root volume of sugarcane and had a significant effect on the stem diameter, as well as the highest brix sap value in the combined treatment of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids, namely 18,28%.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of amino acids application techniques on the growth of tobacco plants. These research was carried out at the TEFA (Teaching Factory) of the Nursery, Department of Agricultural Production, Politeknik Negeri Jember. The study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 1 treatment factor, namely: 1) without amino acids (control); 2) amino acids 500 ml/polybag by pouring; 3) amino acids 500 ml/polybag by spraying. Observed parameters of tobacco plant growth were as follows: 1) plant height, 2) leaves number; 3) stem diameter; 4) plant wet weight, and 5) plant dry weight. Observational data were analyzed using the F 5% test, and the LSD 5% test. The result was the amino acids application technique significantly affected the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, and stem diameter of tobacco plants. No significant differences were found in the parameters of plant base weight and dry weight. The amino acid application technique by spraying gave better results on stem diameter, wet weight, and dry weight of plants, while the application by pouring gave better results on plant height and number of leaves of tobacco plant.

Abstract

Vanilla belongs to the Orchidaceae family and is a high-value plantation commodity. The significant domestic and global market potential for vanilla must be matched by optimizing production capacity through the provision of high-quality planting material. One approach to improving vanilla planting material involves the application of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs). This research was conducted from June 1, 2025, to August 30, 2025, at the Field Laboratory and Soil Laboratory of the State Polytechnic of Jember, located at an elevation of 60 meters above sea level. The study employed a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two factors: the first factor comprised four levels, and the second factor comprised two levels. K0A0 = 0% shallot extract + no amino acid application, K0A1 = 0% shallot extract + amino acid application, K1A0 = 20% shallot extract + no amino acid application, K1A1 = 20% shallot extract + amino acid application, K2A0 = 50% shallot extract + no amino acid application, K2A1 = 50% shallot extract + amino acid application The application of shallot extract and amino acids as PGRs to promote shoot elongation in vanilla cuttings did not yield significant results at shallot extract concentrations of 20–30% per 100 ml of water. The best results regarding shoot elongation in vanilla cuttings were observed in the K2A1 treatment, which yielded the highest mean values ​​across all treatments: 1.09 cm at 30 days after planting (DAP), 5.31 cm at 60 DAP, and 12.36 cm at 90 DAP.
