Abstract

Cayenne pepper is one of the leading horticultural products in the agricultural sector in Indonesia. In order for plants to grow optimally and produce well, it is necessary to apply silver black plastic mulch and a dose of organic fertilizer. This study aims to determine the growth and chlorophyll content of cayenne pepper plants using black silver plastic mulch and doses of organic fertilizer. The study used a randomized block design with 8 treatment combinations and 3 repetitions. The arrangement of treatments was as follows: M0P0: without mulch + 0 kg/m2, M0P1: without mulch+ 1 kg/m2, M0P2: without mulch+ 1.5 kg/m2, M0P3: without mulch+ 2 kg/m2, M1P0: MPHP + 0 kg /m2, M1P1: MPHP + 1 kg/m2, M1P2: MPHP + 1.5 kg/m2, M1P3: MPHP + 2 kg/m2. The results on plant height and leaf number observations on days 28 and 40 showed that the silver black plastic mulch factor make a real impact. Organic fertilizer significantly affected leaf length on day 40, while the interaction of silver black plastic mulch and dose of organic fertilizer affected leaf length and leaf area on day 40. The best combination in this study was black silver plastic mulch and a dose of 1.5 kg organic fertilizer/m2.

Abstract

Bacteria have an important role in providing essential nutrients for plants in dry land through various beneficial working mechanisms. One of the main mechanisms is the involvement of bacteria in nutrient cycles, such as the nitrogen cycle. The aim of this research was to determine the type and ability of bacteria in the rhizosphere of neem (Azadirachta indica) to fix nitrogen. The method used in this research is an exploratory descriptive type. The results of the isolation carried out from the rhizosphere of neem (Azadirachta indica) taken from the East Lombok area of Jerowaru sub-district, 5 samples were obtained with the code LO, where 2 isolates had the ability to fix nitrogen, namely LO3 and LO4. This is proven by using NFB media where there is a change in the color of the media from green to blue, and quantitatively using a spectrophotometer with results of 1,112 ppm and 2,156 ppm, respectively. The results of the molecular identification of the potential bacteria, namely LO4, using the BLAST method at the GenBank data base (NCBI), show that LO4 is the closest relationship to the species Lysinibacillus fusiformis strain SMC303. The results above show that rhizobacteria isolated from neem have the potential to be developed as a biofertilizer that can be applied to future cultivated plants.

Abstract

Phosphate solubilizing rhizobacteria are microorganisms that live in the rhizosphere of plants and have the ability to increase the availability of phosphate in the soil, thereby reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers which are harmful to the environment. This research aims to isolate rhizosphere bacteria from Lamtoro plants and test their ability to dissolve phosphate. Screening the ability of these bacterial isolates was carried out using Pikovskaya media and quantitatively using a spectrophotometer. The test results showed that there were 3 isolates, namely KLU13, A2 and KLS1, which had IKF values in the medium category. Meanwhile, the other 4 isolates had abilities in the low category (isolates A1, A31BK, A3BB and A3). The results of quantitative tests with a spectrophotometer showed that there was an increase in dissolved phosphate from day 2 to day 6. Isolates KLU13, A3 and KLS1 dissolved the highest phosphate on day 6 with values of 14.65 ppm, 14.81 ppm and 10.32 ppm respectively. It can be concluded that the isolate obtained from the Lamtoro rhizosphere which grows in the dry areas of Lombok Island has the potential to be developed as a biofertilizer in the future.

Abstract

Excessive use of antibiotics in treating infectious diseases has caused some bacteria to become resistant. Therefore, it is hoped that the use of natural ingredients such as cloves can be an alternative solution in reducing excessive use of antibiotics. This study aims to test the inhibitory effect and minimum killing power of clove flower oil (Aromatic syzygum) with water as a solvent against Staphylococcus aureus. In determining the inhibition zone, the diffusion disk method was used. Meanwhile, determining the Minimum Kill Ability (MKA) uses the liquid tube dilution method. The results showed that an increase in the concentration of clove flower extract was followed by an increase in the inhibition zone in the media with the isolate Staphylococcus aureus. Meanwhile, in measuring the Minimum Kill Ability, the results showed that the MKA value of clove leaf extract against bacteria Staphylococcus aureus smaller than 5%. This shows that only a 5% concentration of clove leaf extract is enough to inhibit growth Staphylococcus aureus. These findings indicate the potential of clove leaf extract as an antimicrobial agent for bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. So it is hoped that natural ingredients will be able to reduce excessive use of antibiotics.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the inhibitory effect of bacterial isolates producing siderophores and protease enzymes on the growth of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The initial stage of research begins with the isolation of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, and is followed by testing the production of siderophores and protease enzymes. Bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of peanut plants, while pathogenic fungi were isolated from large chili fruit infected with anthracnose disease taken from Jelantik Village, Central Lombok Regency. Characterization of isolates for siderophore production used the Arnow method, while the protease enzyme production test used SKIM Milk Agar media. Next, the inhibition test of bacterial isolates against pathogenic fungi was carried out using the dual culture method. Characterization of potential isolates was carried out by observing bacterial colony morphology, gram staining and biochemical tests. The results of the siderophore production test showed that there was one isolate capable of producing siderophores with the isolate code RKT2. Meanwhile, the protease enzyme production test showed that all bacterial isolates produced protease enzymes, where isolate RKT9 had the highest Proteolytic Index, namely 1.57. The two isolates showed different inhibitory test results, namely isolate RKT2 had high inhibition, while RKT9 had low inhibition. The results of the research showed that a bacterial isolate (RKT2) from the rhizosphere of peanut plants was able to inhibit the growth of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in the high category.

Abstract

The agricultural sector in Indonesia, especially the horticultural subsector, plays an important role in the economy and food security. One of the leading commodities in horticulture is the chilli plant (Capsicum annuum), which is very susceptible to anthracnose disease caused by the fungus Colletotrichum spp. This study aims to test the inhibitory activity of ethanol extract from binahong (Anredera cordifolia) leaves against the growth of Colletotrichum spp. fungus as an alternative environmentally friendly disease control. The research was conducted using a completely randomised design (CRD) with variations in extract concentrations of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%, each of which was tested three times. The results showed that 2.5% concentration of binahong leaf extract produced the highest inhibitory activity of 70%, while 0.5% concentration showed 56% inhibition. This inhibitory activity was categorised as strong. ANOVA analysis showed significant differences between treatments (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate the potential of binahong leaf extract as a biofungicide in the control of anthracnose disease in chilli plants, which may contribute to more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Abstract

This study aims to test the ability of endophytic bacterial isolates of cayenne pepper roots (Capsicum frutescens) to produce siderophore compounds and protease enzymes and to test the antagonistic activity of endophytic bacterial isolates in controlling the growth of plant pathogenic bacteria (Ralstonia solanacearum). The stages in this study are isolation of endophytic bacteria from cayenne pepper roots, siderophore production test, protease enzyme activity test, and biochemical and physiological characterization of potential endophytic bacteria, antagonistic test of endophytic bacteria against the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum bacteria. Endophytic bacteria were isolated from cayenne pepper plant roots taken from Selong, East Lombok. Characterization of siderophore-producing isolates used the Arnow test method. The activity of bacterial protease enzymes was tested qualitatively on Skim Milk Agar solid media. The antagonistic activity test of endophytic bacteria against pathogenic bacteria was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method. Characterization of endophytic bacteria was carried out by observing colony morphology, Gram staining, and biochemical tests. There were 3 isolates that were able to produce siderophores (catecholate type) with codes EC5, EC12, and EC15. Six isolates showed protease enzyme activity with codes EC3, EC4, EC5, EC7, EC11, and EC15, with the highest Proteolytic Index (2.02) shown by isolate EC4. There were 3 isolates that were able to inhibit the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum (EC4, EC5, and EC15), with the highest inhibitory power shown by isolate EC15 (3.67 mm). The results of the study indicate that endophytic bacteria from cayenne pepper plant roots have the potential as biopesticides in the future.
