Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the influence of fermented goat manure fertilizer on the growth and yield of Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum L.). A randomized complete block design with three treatments, including no fertilizer, goat manure fertilizer, and fermented goat manure fertilizer, was employed. Variables observed included plant height, leaf count, leaf area, and fresh weight. Data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test at significance levels of 5% and 1%. The results indicated a significant effect of fermented goat manure fertilizer on the growth and yield of Holy Basil. The treatment with fermented goat manure fertilizer exhibited the best performance, resulting in a plant height of 33.45 cm, 36 leaves, leaf area of 6.73 cm2, and fresh weight of 42.18 g. In contrast, the treatment without fertilizer and with goat manure fertilizer achieved lower measurements, with plant heights of 22.20 cm and 28.48 cm, leaf counts of 22 and 29, leaf areas of 3.43 cm2 and 4.57 cm2, and fresh weights of 16.60 g and 25.36 g, respectively. These findings highlight the potential of fermented goat manure fertilizer as a sustainable agricultural approach for optimizing Holy Basil growth and yield. Highlights: Fermented goat manure: Organic fertilizer produced through fermentation. Holy Basil: Medicinal and culinary herb with diverse applications. Sustainable agriculture: Promoting environmentally friendly farming practices. Keywords: Fermented goat manure, Holy Basil, Growth, Yield, Sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of sucrose and Scoby concentration on the physical characteristics of kombucha made from pineapple skin juice. It was conducted using a randomized block design factorial with different sucrose and Scoby concentrations. The findings show that sucrose concentration significantly affected the total dissolved solids (TDS) of kombucha, while Scoby concentration had no significant effect. The highest TDS value was in the 5% sucrose concentration, and the lowest was in the 10% Scoby concentration. The study provides valuable insights for further research and applications in probiotic beverages and fermentation processes. Highlight: The study investigates the impact of sucrose and Scoby concentration on the physical properties of kombucha made from pineapple skin juice. Sucrose concentration significantly influences the total dissolved solids (TDS) of kombucha, while Scoby concentration shows no significant effect on TDS. The weight and thickness of the pellicle formed in kombucha are affected by both sucrose and Scoby concentrations, whereas the diameter remains unaffected.
