Abstract

Synthetic fertilizers are widely used in agriculture to increase crop yields. However, the impact can suppress soil microbial life and reduce soil quality. Therefore, a study about fertilizer alternative that does not have an environmental bad impact is necessary, and one of which is a study of compost extract. Compost extract is a liquid extract produced from soaking compost for several days by aeration or non-aeration. The aims of the research are to determine the effect and the best dosage of aerated and non-aerated compost extract on plant growth and productivity. The plant that will be used in this research is red spinach (Amaranthus tricolor L.). This reaserch is conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with treatment of compost extract dosage. The chemical parameters of the compost extract analyzed included carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) levels. Parameters observed are plant height; number of leaves; fresh and dry weight of roots, stems, and leaves; root shoot ratio; and levels of vitamin C. Data is analyzed using Analysis of variance (Anova), and differences between treatments will test with Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) with a significance level of 95%. The aerated compost extract with an optimum concentration of 75% increased plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight of stems and leaves, and dry weight of stems. The aerated compost extract with 100% optimum concentration increased root fresh weight, root and leaf dry weight, root:shoot ratio, and vitamin C. Keywords: Amaranthus tricolor L.; aerated compost extract; non-aerated compost extract; plant growth; plant productivity.

Abstract

Red onion (Allium cepa) is a plant that requires sufficient water and is susceptible to drought stress. The use of biofertilizer is employed because it contains microorganisms that enhance nutrient availability and assist plant growth under abiotic stress conditions. This study aims to analyze the physiological and anatomical responses of red onion bulbs following the application of biofertilizer under drought stress. The doses of biofertilizer used were 0; 10;15; and 20 L/ha with field capacity levels of 25; 50; 75 and 100%. The parameters tested were bulb diameter, reducing sugar content number of bulb layers, anatomy of root cortex thickness, anatomy of root metaxylem diam Red onion eter, and fresh weight of red onion roots. The method used in determining the level of reducing sugar is the Nelson-Somogyi method. The method used for preparing the red onion root specimens was the embedding method. The results showed that the largest red onion bulb diameter was obtained from treatment A1B2, without the addition of biofertilizer at 75% field capacity. Meanwhile, the highest reduced sugar content was found at a dose of 15 L/ha with 50% field capacity

Abstract

Mercury, a byproduct of mining, can harm the environment. One method to reduce this impact is through phytoremediation. This study used the Mexican sword (Aquarius palifolius), a plant with the potential to absorb and accumulate mercury. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of mercury stress on nitrate reductase activity, which plays a role in plant productivity, and to assess its impact on growth parameters, including plant height growth rate, leaf length, and number of leaves. Three-month-old A. palifolius plants obtained from rice fields in Sleman were treated with mercury at doses of 0, 14, 16, 18, and 20 ppm. The experiment was conducted in triplicate. Nitrate reductase activity was measured using a spectrophotometer, and growth rate was observed over 15 days. Data were analyzed using One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and evaluated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Mercury exposure led to adaptations, including a 9.5%–13.5% change in nitrate reductase activity and a 50%–65% reduction in the number of leaves. Growth rates of plant height and number of leaves showed no significant differences, even under mercury stress. These results indicate that A. palifolius can tolerate mercury concentrations of 14–20 ppm and has the potential to functions as a phytoremediation agent.

Abstract

Wastewater has become a source of environmental problems caused by the content of chemicals that are harmful to the environment, including detergent waste. Detergent is a cleaning agent that contains surfactants, phosphate compounds, and other additives. Efforts to handle this detergent waste have been carried out communally or on a large scale in a reactor called IPAL (Wastewater Treatment Plant). However, no effective household-scale IPAL prototype has been found to restore wastewater quality to raw water that can be reused. So a prototype IPAL was built called SPIROFILTER which combines the filtration process by zeolite, activated charcoal, and cotton as well as hyperaccumulation by Spirogyra porticalis. This study aims to determine the role of S. porticalis, analyze wastewater quality, analyze the growth of S. porticalis, and determine the reaction kinetics model (PFO or PSO) in the absorption of phosphate in wastewater that has been filtered with SPIROFILTER. The research design was in the form of measuring the growth of S. porticalis and the quality of water before filtration (control), water after the 3rd day, and water after the 5th day. The parameters measured were temperature, pH, salinity, total phosphorus, total ammonia, BOD, COD, number of water germs, and chlorophyll content. This study used a UV-vis spectrophotometer and AAS for water quality testing. SPIROFILTER was an aquarium measuring 40x60x20 cm3 to which 132 mL of detergent was added in 22 liters of water. The results of the study proved that S. porticalis acted as a hyperaccumulator, the quality of water filtered by SPIROFILTER met water quality standards, the growth of S. porticalis remained optimum in detergent waste environmental conditions, the kinetic model of the phosphorus binding reaction from detergent waste used the Pseudo Second Order model in SPIROFILTER.

Abstract

Shallot (Allium cepa L.) is one of Indonesia's horticultural crops and represents as superior commodity. However, shallots are highly susceptible to drought and require sufficient water for growth. Biofertilizers contain various microbes that provide nutrients and increase the resistance of shallots to drought stress. This study aimed to determine the effect of biofertilizers on the growth rate, nitrate reductase activity, and productivity of shallot plants under drought stress. The research was conducted using a Factorial Completely Randomized Design with two factors. The first factor was the doses of biofertilizer with 0, 10, 15, and 20 L ha-1. The second factor was the drought stress with treatments of 25, 50, 75, and 100% field capacity. Parameters measured included plant height rate, leaf number rate, number of tillers, tuber wet weight, tuber dry weight, and nitrate reductase activity. Data were analyzed by ANOVA using SPSS followed Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significance level. The results showed that biofertilizer application did no significantly different on the growth rate, but significantly affected the number of tillers, tuber weight, and nitrate reductase activity of shallots under drought stress. The optimum dose of 10 L ha-1 biofertilizer increased the number of tillers (9.33). The optimum dose of 20 L ha-1 biofertilizer increased the growth rate, tuber wet weight (4.46 g), tuber dry weight (0.63 g), and nitrate reductase activity (1.11 µmol NO2- g-1 leaf wet weight h-1 of incubation). It is concluded that biofertilizer application, particularly at 10–20 L ha-1, can improve shallot performance under drought stress and is recommended as a drought mitigation strategy in shallot cultivation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Chrysanthemum indicum flower is known as a Chinese medicinal plant and is consumed as a tea or food supplement. Several research reported the profiling metabolites of this flower using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS). However, there is a limitation of those methods, which are the yields several formula obtained by searching in database based on parent masses so give less effectiveness identify of compound. This study aimed to identify the metabolites in the ethanolic extract of C. indicum using a de-replication strategy by coupling Liquid Chromatography Orbitrap HRMS with a molecular network approach. This study also evaluated the total phenolic contents (TPC) using Folin-Ciocalteu method, Fourier Transfer Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, while the scavenging activity against DPPH radical method was used to determine the antioxidant activity and the inhibition of α-glucosidase was conducted using α-glucosidase assay. The studies showed that there were diverse families of metabolites were putatively identified in C. indicum such as flavonoids and derivates, amino acids, fatty acids and derivates, phenol and derivates, terpenoids, and glucose. The detailed metabolites in extract were approached using application of molecular networking. In agreement with the molecular networking, the extract exerted strong antioxidant activity with % inhibition value of 76.20±1.35 at 100 µg/mL. Whereas, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity showed good activity with % inhibition value of 83.04±0.52 at 50 µg/mL. The results of this study provide a new metabolite library for C. indicum ethanol extract as well as the confirmation of some of its biological activities.

Abstract

Curly red chili (Capsicum annum L.) is widely cultivated us-ing inorganic fertilizers which causes high production costs. Chili is valued because of the level of spiciness. The level of spiciness of chili is determined by the level of capsaicin which is affected by nutrients in the growing media. The nutrient of the planting media can be fulfilled by degrading the growing media by microbes in organic fertilizer. One type of organic fertilizer containing degrading microbes is biofertiliz-er. Biofertilizer and biogas sludge is one of the organic fertilizers con-taining microbes and organic materials that are able to support nutri-ent levels of the planting medium. This study aimed to analyze growth parameters include chlorophyll content and measure capsaicin levels in curly red chili. Which given biofertilizer and biogas sludge in vari-ous dosage and determine the optimum dose of the fertilizer. The study was conducted at an agricultural demonstration plot in Wukirsari Vil-lage, Cangkringan, Sleman. The study design used RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design), the data were analyzed by ANOVA (Analysis of Variance followed by Duncan’s Multiple Distance Test (DMRT) at the 95% confidence level. The highest growth parameters and capsa-icin content were obtained on curly red chili plants which were given biogas sludge 36 mL + biofertilizer 10 L / ha. The application of bi-ofertilizer and biogas sludge in various concentrations given has not been able to increase the average total chlorophyll content of curly red chili plants. Thus, it can be concluded that the most appropriate dose of curly red chili is 36 mL biogas sludge + 10 L bio fertilizer/ha
