Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the important food commodities consumed by the Indonesian people. One of the reasons for the decline in rice production is infection by the pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) which causes bacterial leaf blight (BLB) and it’s seed-borne pathogen. The purpose of the experiment is to to evaluate the effectiveness of seed soaking using Paenibacillus sp. to control BLB in rice plants. Efforts to control BLB and improve rice plant growth were carried out by seed treatment using biocontrol agent has potential as biological control for BLB in rice plants by producing antibiotic. This experiment used a Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments (control, Paenibacillus sp., Bacillus sp. BTH22, Paenibacillus polymyxa) and 5 replications. Data analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level using IBM SPSS Statistics version 22 software. If the analysis results showed significant differences between treatments, an Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test was performed at the 5% level. The research results showed that seed soaking using Paenibacillus sp. was able to reduce the incubation period of HDB disease by up to 11 days, with the lowest disease attack intensity being 10.21%, the highest seed germination rate being 91.25%, and an efficacy level of 53.32%.

Abstract

Rice is a major food commodity in Indonesia that is currently experiencing a decline in production due to several factors, one of which is bacterial leaf blight (BLB) caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas sp. The use of chemicals in controlling this disease has many limitations, so alternatives are needed, such as antagonistic microbes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Bacillus sp. BTH22 and Trichoderma sp. individually and in consortium in suppressing BLB disease in rice plants in vitro and in vivo. The study was conducted at the Plant Health Laboratory of  Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur and Green House of Kebun Bibit Wonorejo from March to June 2025. The methods used included in vitro diffusion well test and in vivo disease intensity observation with a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments, namely control and spraying of antagonistic microbes Bacillus sp. BTH22 and Trichoderma sp. alone or in consortium with 4 replicates. Data analysis used analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc HSD tests at a 5% significance level. The results show that the treatment with the Bacillus sp. BTH22 and Trichoderma sp. consortium was the most effective, with an inhibition zone of 13 mm, which is classified as strong, and the lowest disease intensity of 30.02% at 55 HST with a suppression rate of 69.98%. These results indicate that the consortium of the two antagonistic microorganisms has high potential as an effective and sustainable biological control agent for BLB based on the observed parameters of inhibition zone and disease attack intensity.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of Streptomyces sp. encapsulated in sodium alginate beads on the growth and health of shallot (Allium cepa L.) plants. Different sodium alginate concentrations (2%, 2.5%, and 3%) and application timings (7 days before transplanting and at transplanting) were tested. The mass and diameter of the beads showed slight decreases over storage time, indicating some shrinkage but maintaining structural integrity to protect the bacteria. Encapsulation efficiency was highest at 3% sodium alginate, which also correlated    with    increased    bead     stability.     Viability     tests     revealed that Streptomyces maintained high colony-forming units (CFU) across the treatments, confirming the protective effect of the encapsulation. Application of beads significantly reduced Fusarium wilt disease intensity and improved bulb weight. Treatments with higher sodium alginate concentrations and earlier application times showed the most pronounced benefits. These findings demonstrate that beads using optimal sodium alginate concentration and timing enhance microbial viability and biological control efficacy, contributing to healthier and more productive shallot cultivation.

Abstract

The use of a fungicide containing the active ingredient mancozeb in shallot fields to control moler disease, if not managed in terms of dose and frequency, it has the potential to harm soil in physical, chemical and biological ways. One method for repairing this damage is too use local microbes. This research attempts to determine the types of bacteria in soil treated to mancozeb fungicide through a morphological and physiological characterization process. Soil samples were collected from the shallot producing region of Balongrejo District, Nganjuk Regency. The method in this research is to isolate soil samples at a depth of 0-20 cm. Bacteria were isolated and multiplied using the streak plate technique on nutrient agar medium. Identification was performed on macroscopic and microscopic morphological features well as physiological characters based on the method of Schaad et al. (2001). Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology Ninth Edition was then used to identify the isolated bacteria. The research results showed that 14 bacterial isolates were isolated, 5 isolates suspected to be the genus Bacillus, 7 isolates suspected to be the genus Corynebacterium, 1 isolate suspected to be Lactobacillus, and 1 isolate unidentified. All indigenous bacterial isolates were able to reduce the concentration of mancozeb fungicide through measurements using a UV-Vis spechtrophotometer with a wavelength of 268 nm. The highest degradation percentage was bacterial isolate I8 (75%) and the lowest was bacterial isolate I7 (19%).

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTSSeed encapsulation using alginate and B. cereus BTH21 for biocontrol of wilt disease in eggplant.ABSTRACTBacterial wilt is a major plant disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum that infects important crops, such as eggplant, causing wilt, stunted growth, and reduced yield. The biocontrol of the pathogen can be done by employing antagonistic bacteria, yet direct inoculation into the soils are often ineffective due to low population of the pathogen in the soils, which also easily washed away by watering activity. Seed encapsulation technique, using alginate, zeolite and peat, containing antagonistic bacteria Bacillus cereus BTH21 to control R. solanacearum is the novelty proposed in this research. Hence, this research aimed to develop alginate seed-encapsulation technique containing Bacillus cells as a mean to biologically control R. solanacearum in eggplant. Endophytic Bacillus cereus BTH21 strains was isolated from healthy eggplant tissue obtained from Kediri, East Java Province, Indonesia. Subsequent isolation, purification and molecular identification confirmed the identity of the strain. Three seed-encapsulation formulations were made: a) control (no encapsulation); b) alginate + zeolite + Bacillus (Al+Z+B); and c) alginate + peat + Bacillus (Al+P+B). A field experiment was designed in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) where the alginate-encapsulated eggplant seeds were sown along with deliberate R. solanacearum inoculation (107 cfu/mL) into the soils. Observations were carried out every 7 days from 0 – 49 days after sowing (DAS) on several parameters, i.e., incubation period, infection rate, germination percentage, plant height, and number of leaves. The data were analyzed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test at a significance level of P < 0.05. The results showed that both seed encapsulation formulations prolonged incubation period (15 and 13 DAS) compared to the control (10 DAS), reduced infection rate, increased germination rate, as well as higher agronomic performances (plant height, number of leaves) compared to the control at 7 – 49 DAS. Overall, this results indicated the potential of alginate seed-encapsulation techniques containing biocontrol agents to control plant diseases.

Abstract

The main objective was to determine the effectiveness of this technique in establishing endophytic colonies and its impact on plant vegetative growth. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory and greenhouse using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) approach. We tested four levels of conidial density: control (no conidia), 1×10⁶, 1×10⁷, and 1×10⁸ conidia per mL, with each replicated five times. Parameters we observed included root and stem colonization success, plant height, and leaf number. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by a HSD test at the 5% level. The results showed that B. bassiana is able to enter and develop internally within root and stem tissues. Interestingly, the highest colonization occurred at the lowest concentration (1×10⁶ conidia per mL), with 83.3% in roots and 66.7% in stems. Although statistically, differences in concentration did not always have a significant effect on plant height and leaf number, numerically, inoculated plants showed better growth than controls, especially at 28 days after planting. From these findings, we conclude that soil application of B. bassiana is quite effective in establishing endophytic colonies without disrupting vegetative growth. In other words, this method is worth considering as part of a more environmentally friendly and sustainable pest management strategy.

Abstract

Background: Stem rot disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum is one of the major diseases affecting vanilla plants (Vanilla planifolia A.), which can cause losses of up to 100%. Current management practices rely heavily on synthetic pesticides and often lack precision, raising environmental concerns and need for sustainable disease management strategies. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Fobio biopesticide concentration and soil sterilization intervals as control methods in suppressing the development of vanilla stem rot disease. Methodology: The study was conducted in vivo in Wonosalam Village, Jombang Regency using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with factors of Fobio biopesticide concentration (5 mL/L, 10 mL/L, and 15 mL/L) and application interval (1-week and 2-week intervals). The data were analyzed statistically using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The parameters observed included disease intensity, infection rate, and biopesticide effectiveness. Findings: The results showed that the initial disease intensity had a very significant effect on the final intensity. The treatment with an application interval of once a week reduced disease intensity to 23.89%, lower than the interval of 2-weeks (26.67%) and the control (46.66%). A concentration of 15 ml/L reduced disease intensity to 24.94%, with the highest effectiveness also obtained in the 15 ml/L treatment at 1-week intervals (50.29%). The interaction between interval and concentration was also not significant, indicating that the effect of concentration did not change depending on treatment interval. The biopesticide Fobio was found to be sufficiently effective in suppressing the development of vanilla stem rot, and applications with more frequent intervals showed the highest efficacy. Contribution: This study highlights the importance of integrating biopesticide concentration  and application interval while adjusting for initial disease intensity in vanilla stem rot management.
