Abstract

The main role of bacteria and fungi in soil is to decompose dead organic matter, which then forms soil. However, not all fungi are beneficial. Under certain conditions, bacteria and fungi can also be harmful by causing disease. The aim of this study is to explore soil bacteria and fungi and determine the diversity of bacteria and fungi found in oil palm plantations on the ITSI Medan campus. Soil samples were taken using a proportional random sampling method on an area of ????6.7 Ha. There are 2 soil sample points in every 7 trees taken inside and outside the disc. Microorganisms were identified in the Soil Biology Laboratory, Agrotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra. There are several types of microorganisms obtained, namely from the genus Bacillus, Aeromonas, Micrococcus, Mycobacterium, and Enterobacter with a total of 7.183 x 106.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify basal stem rot disease in oil palm plants caused by Ganoderma boninense and to evaluate the effectiveness of the hilling method at the Tanah Itam Ulu Plantation of PTPN IV Regional II. This is due to the fact that oil palm is a strategic commodity that is highly susceptible to pathogen attacks, especially Ganoderma, which causes decreased productivity and plant mortality. The method used was descriptive analysis based on tree inventory data in blocks (09R and 09S) without hilling and with hilling (09X and 09Y) during the period 2020–2025. This data was obtained through observation, interviews, and field censuses. The results showed that the overall plant population in the blocks decreased annually. This decline was caused by various factors, including disease, plant age, and environmental conditions. However, the rate of decline in the blocks treated with hilling was lower than in the untreated blocks. Hilling has been shown to improve plant stability by forming new roots and increasing the efficiency of water and nutrient absorption. However, this method has not been able to completely halt the disease's progression. To increase the effectiveness of Ganoderma control on a sustainable basis, hilling is recommended as part of an integrated control approach combined with biological agents, orchard sanitation, and early detection.

Abstract

The epiphytic banyan weed (Ficus benjamina) is a major problem in oil palm plantations as it interferes with harvesting and reduces productivity. One effective control method is the root infusion technique using systemic herbicides. This study aimed to determine the most effective herbicide concentration and evaluate the effectiveness of the root infusion method. The research was conducted in a smallholder plantation in Rimbun Village, Sipispis District, Serdang Bedagai Regency from August to September 2025. A non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four treatments and four replications was used, consisting of P0 (control), P1 (glyphosate 8 ml/L + metsulfuron methyl 4 g/L), P2 (glyphosate 10 ml/L + metsulfuron methyl 6 g/L), and P3 (glyphosate 12 ml/L + metsulfuron methyl 8 g/L). The observed parameter was weed mortality percentage up to 30 days after application. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by DMRT at 5%. The results showed that herbicide treatments significantly affected weed mortality. Treatment P3 achieved the fastest mortality (100%) at 17 days, followed by P2 at 27 days and P1 at 29 days, while the control showed no mortality. Increasing herbicide concentration amlelerated weed death. The root infusion method proved effective in enhancing herbicide absorption. Therefore, P2 is recommended as the optimal and efficient dose.
