Abstract

The current land suitability criteria for konjac are incomplete and fail to consider land dimensions and quality, which influence optimal yield. This research aims to develop criteria for konjac land suitability based on the dimensions, quality, and characteristics of selected land. In Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, 131 land units were surveyed to obtain data on the quality and characteristics. Selection of land dimensions, quality, and characteristics using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS). Meanwhile, the optimum yield and distinguished land suitability criteria for konjac plants using the boundary line method. The results indicated that intrinsic and extrinsic dimensions determined the new land suitability criteria. In the intrinsic dimension, land quality was assessed based on root conditions, oxygen availability, nutrient availability, nutrient retention, and sodicity. For the extrinsic dimension, land quality only comprised temperature, water availability, land preparation, and erosion hazard. Land characteristics in the intrinsic dimension consisted of soil drainage, texture, bulk density, particle density, porosity, pH, organic C, CEC, base saturation, total N, available P, and exchangeable K. For the extrinsic dimension, land characteristics included slope, soil erosion, surface rocks, and rock outcrops. The highest optimum yield of konjac was 9.17 t/ha, and the lowest was 6.69 t/ha, respectively.

Abstract

Mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) are among the most widely consumed vegetables and play an important role in supporting food and nutritional security. This study aimed to evaluate the tolerance of different mustard green varieties to drought stress and to analyze the interaction between drought stress and variety performance. The experiment was conducted from April to May 2025 at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG), using a split-plot design with two factors: drought stress and plant variety. Drought stress was designated as the main plot, consisting of three levels: C0 = 100% field capacity (FC), C1 = 50% FC, and C2 = 30% FC. The subplot consisted of two mustard green varieties: V1 = Puteri and V2 = Shinta. These treatments resulted in six treatment combinations (C0V1, C0V2, C1V1, C1V2, C2V1, and C2V2), each replicated three times, producing a total of 18 experimental units. Each unit consisted of four polybags measuring 20 × 20 cm. The results revealed that the two mustard green varieties exhibited different responses in terms of growth and yield under drought stress conditions. The Puteri variety demonstrated greater tolerance to drought stress compared to the Shinta variety. An interaction was observed between drought stress and variety on plant height at two weeks after transplanting. Furthermore, drought stress at 50% field capacity was still able to meet the water requirements of mustard greens, as shown by plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, and fresh weight.

Abstract

Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) is an economically valuable horticultural commodity commonly cultivated in the highland regions of Indonesia. Despite suitable environmental conditions, its productivity remains below its potential, partly due to inefficient fertilizer management practices. This study was conducted to assess the influence of integrated organic and inorganic fertilization on the growth and yield of Welsh onion and to identify the most suitable fertilizer combination for highland cultivation. The experiment was carried out from February to May 2026 in Insil Village, Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. A non-factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of six fertilizer treatments and three replications was applied. The treatments included P0 (without fertilizer), P1 (1.8 t ha⁻¹ organic fertilizer + 900 kg ha⁻¹ NPK), P2 (2.7 t ha⁻¹ organic fertilizer + 750 kg ha⁻¹ NPK), P3 (3.6 t ha⁻¹ organic fertilizer + 600 kg ha⁻¹ NPK), P4 (4.5 t ha⁻¹ organic fertilizer + 450 kg ha⁻¹ NPK), and P5 (5.4 t ha⁻¹ organic fertilizer + 300 kg ha⁻¹ NPK). Experimental data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA), and treatment means were compared using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% significance level. The findings demonstrated that integrated fertilization significantly influenced plant height, leaf production, tiller formation, and fresh biomass of Welsh onion. Among the tested treatments, P3 exhibited the most favorable overall performance in promoting both plant growth and yield. These results indicate that combining organic and inorganic fertilizers provides a balanced nutrient supply capable of enhancing Welsh onion productivity while contributing to more sustainable nutrient management practices in highland agricultural systems.

Abstract

The availability of high-quality mango seedlings is a major challenge in improving fruit yield and quality, which can be addressed through vegetative propagation techniques, such as grafting that combines rootstocks with strong root systems and scions from superior varieties. This study aimed to determine the effects of the interaction between cover type and rootstock height on mango grafting success. This study was conducted from July to September 2022. A split-plot design was employed, with the main factor being the cover type (single and mass cover) and the sub-factor being the rootstock height (50 cm and 30 cm). The measured parameters included the time for bud emergence, percentage of bud emergence, number of leaves, and grafting success, with data analyzed using ANOVA and LSD tests at a 5% significance level. The results showed that mass cover significantly influenced grafting success, with an average time of bud emergence of 12.40 days, percentage of bud emergence of 100%, average number of leaf average of 6.90, and grafting success rate of 100%. Conversely, the rootstock height did not significantly affect these parameters. Mass cover has been proven to create an optimal microenvironment for plant growth by maintaining humidity and temperature and protecting plants against extreme environmental conditions. In contrast, grafting incompatibility was detected in certain rootstock height treatments, potentially affecting the nutrient flow and graft quality. In conclusion, mass cover had a dominant effect on grafting success, whereas rootstock height had no significant impact. No interaction was found between cover type and rootstock height in mango grafting. Keywords: cover type, rootstock height, grafting

Abstract

Quality Cavendish banana seedlings are needed to support successful cultivation and improve the productivity of banana farming. However, the Women Farmers Group Tunas Hijau in Haya-haya Village, West Limboto District, Gorontalo Regency, still faces several problems in seedling preparation. The growing medium used by the group still depends on ordinary soil, has low organic matter content, poor drainage, and does not yet produce uniform seedling growth. In addition, the technical knowledge of group members in preparing and applying organic compost as a growing medium is still limited. This community service activity aimed to apply organic compost-based growing media technology to improve the quality of Cavendish banana seedlings. The method consisted of program socialization, initial observation of seedling conditions, training on organic compost use, training on growing media formulation, demonstration of growing media preparation with a 2:1:1 ratio of soil, mature organic compost, and rice husk, mentoring during seedling application, and evaluation of seedling growth. The activity involved 20 participants and was carried out collaboratively with students and farmer group members. The results showed increased participant understanding and skills in recognizing mature compost, formulating growing media, filling polybags, transplanting seedlings, and maintaining seedling moisture. This activity provides a simple, low-cost, and applicable technology that can support healthier, more uniform, and sustainable Cavendish banana seedling production.
