Abstract

Boron (B) is an essential micro nutrient that is needed by oil palms, especially to control productivity. The aim of this research was to determine the optimal dose of B for mature oil palms. The research was conducted at a smallholder oil palm plantation located in Katingan Region, Central Kalimantan Province from January to December 2022. The field experiment was a single factor arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three blocks as replications. The factor tested was the dose of B fertilization, consisting of five doses, namely 0 g. trunk⁻¹. semester⁻¹ (control); 25 g. trunk⁻¹. semester⁻¹; 50 g. trunk⁻¹. semester⁻¹; 75 g. trunk⁻¹. semester⁻¹; and 100 g. trunk⁻¹. semester⁻¹. Observations were done on several variables of micro-weather characteristics at the research site, nutrient and physiological characteristics of leaf, morphological characters and plant growth, and yield and yield components of oil palms. The data obtained were then analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) α=5 %, and data showing significant differences between treatments were tested with an orthogonal polynomial. The results showed that B had positive effects on leaf B, P and K concentration and absorption, leaf chlorophyll content, number of midribs, plant height, leaf area per trunk, leaf area index, crop dry weight, pollen fertility, fruit set, pollen viability, fresh fruit bunch weight (FFB) and FFB productivity. The optimal dose of B to optimize oil palms productivity was 60.24 g. trunk⁻¹. semester⁻¹ with a maximum value of FFB productivity of 6.94 tons. trunk⁻¹. semester⁻¹.

Abstract

A coastal rice field is generally characterized by salt-affected soil and low soil quality for rice cultivation. Identifying soil chemical properties in these areas is necessary to determine soil management options for rice production. Therefore, soil samples were collected from 33 sampling points in the Wedung Sub-district of Demak Regency in the late dry season of 2021 to evaluate the variation among soil chemical characteristics in a coastline rice field. Soil samples were obtained beneath the topsoil (0-20 cm soil depth) and observed for electrical conductivity, exchangeable potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and cation exchange capacity. Soils in the research field were categorized as slightly salty (0.75-2 dS m-1) to lightly salty (2.0-4.0 dS m-1) with very high sodium (>2 cmol(+) kg-1). Exchangeable potassium was dominated by moderate (0.3-0.7 cmol(+) kg-1) and low categories (0.2-0.3 cmol(+) kg-1). Based on soil calcium-to-magnesium ratios, around 6% of all samples were classified as calcium-deficient. The range of soil cation exchange capacity was 22-30 cmol(+) kg-1 and classified as high soil cation exchange capacity. Rice productivity in the salt-affected soil was around 4 t ha-1. Strategies for soil and controlling plants, such as soil amelioration and salt-tolerant rice cultivars, should be pursued to support plant growth and enhance rice productivity in the salt-affected soil, particularly in the coastal area.

Abstract

Beet tubers are perishable horticultural commodities, cannot be stored for long, and are commonly consumed in fresh conditions. Postharvest handling of beet tubers needs to be carried out to maintain their freshness Chitosan and other packaging used in postharvest handling of fresh beet tubers have not yet been reported. This study aims to determine the effect of chitosan coating and types of packaging on beet tubers on the physical quality of beet tubers. The study was a randomly designed group with two factors; the first factor was chitosan concentration, and the second factor was the kinds of packaging. Chitosan concentration consists of 5 levels, namely 0, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, and the type of packaging includes no packaging (Without), plastic packaging with holes (Perforated), ordinary plastic packaging (Ordinary) and plastic vacuumed (Vacuum). The beet tubers were soaked in chitosan solution of 0, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% for 1 minute, air-dried, then were packaged with no packaging, plastic packaging with holes, ordinary plastic packaging, and plastic vacuumed. .  The physical quality parameters observed were moisture content, weight loss respiration rate,electrolyte leakage, total dissolved solid (TDS), ascorbic acid, betacyanin, betaxanthins,  tuber firmness, damage percentage, and visual quality rating (VQR). Data were analyzed using Anova variant analysis and then continued with Tuckey tests with a 95% confidence level using R studio software. The results showed that chitosan coating did not affect the physical quality of beet tubers, while packaging affected the quality of beet tubers. The most suitable packaging to maintain the physical quality of beet tubers is plastic packaging with holes (perforated).

Abstract

Coastal rice fields often have sandy textures, high salinity, low organic matter, and frequent waterlogging caused by seawater intrusion. These conditions, together with fluctuating rainfall, alter soil chemical properties and negatively affect crop cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate soil chemical properties, assess water quality, and analyze their relationship with rice productivity in the coastal rice fields of Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia. Composite soil samples were collected from areas of 5-7 ha and analyzed for their chemical properties. Water quality was assessed based on the levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate, phosphate, electrical conductivity (EC), and pH. Data were analyzed descriptively, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to group the sampling points. The results showed that organic C and total N were low to moderate, while available-Si and exchangeable K+ were very low. In contrast, P?O?, exchangeable Na+, and exchangeable Mg2+ were very high, whereas cation exchange capacity (CEC) and exchangeable Ca2+ were low to moderate. Based on EC and water table depth, PCA grouped the 20 sampling points into three clusters: high salinity (points 16-19), waterlogging (points 2-7), and relatively normal conditions (points 1, 8-15, 20). Average rice productivity was 2.48 t ha-1 in cluster 1, less than 1 t ha-1 in cluster 2, and 3,63 t ha-1 in cluster 3. These findings highlight the need for site-specific land and water management strategies to sustain rice cultivation in coastal areas.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to estimate and determine the in-situ transpiration dynamics of three oil palm varieties, which include DxP Langkat, DyP Dumpy, and DxP PPKS 540, using the Ratio Method (HRM) to measure real-time sap flow (SF). Field observations in Adolina, North Sumatra, were conducted in September, October, and December 2023 to collect data on macro- and microweather and soil moisture at varying distances from sample trees. Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and solar radiation (QS) were among the key environmental factors that had strong associations with SF. Up to 82.24% of SF variability was explained by VPD and QS. DxP PPKS 540 recorded the highest transpiration rate of 1.70 mm/day because it had a higher leaf area (9.00 m2), and a bigger petiole cross-section (52.50 cm2). DxP Langkat, on the other hand, had the lowest transpiration rate at 1.49 mm/day. The results indicated the significance of VPD and QS in controlling sap flow and suggested that transpiration varied among varieties. This study provides an understanding of the physiological variation among oil palm varieties and a basis for future use in determining genotypes with increased drought resistance and adaptability to enhance resilience in new climatic conditions.

Abstract

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for oil palm growth and development. Acid phosphatase (Apase) and Pti‐interacting serine/threonine kinase are two enzymes which enzymes confirmed to be related to P‐uptake in oil palm, therefore their activities in oil palm treated with P‐limitation need to be quantified. Acid phosphatase is believed to be induced by P‐deprivation. Conversely, the Pto‐interaction (Pti) serine/threonine kinase activity is associated with abiotic stress. The aim of this study was to quantify of activities of two selected enzymes and phytohormone content in oil palm‐clones in the P‐limitation condition. Two oil palms genotypes were treated with three P dosages i.e. 0% (v/v), 4.67% (v/v), and 14.02% (v/v) represented as starvation, deficiency, and optimum condition, respectively. The activity of these two enzymes was quantified in mitochondria and cytoplasm using spectrophotometry and modified dot‐blot methods, while abscisic acid, indole acetic acid and gibberellic acid content was quantified using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The result showed that the Apase activity in P‐optimum was higher than starvation and deficiency in leaf and root tissues in both genotypes, whereas Pti serine/threonine kinase activity was higher in prolific than non‐prolific genotypes in P‐deficient dosage. Furthermore, abscisic acid content was higher in prolific than non‐prolific genotypes in starvation and deficient, whereas other hormone contents were similar. Association study showed that prolific was separated with non‐prolific ones at different doses of P. Finally, the prolific genotype is more adaptable with P deficiency.

Abstract

This study evaluated a Zn–Cu compound micronutrient fertilizer on plant growth, yield components, grain yield, and fertilizer-use efficiency of Inpari 32 rice. A field experiment was conducted in an Inceptisol paddy field (1,100 m²) in Margokaton, Seyegan, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (January–April 2025). Treatments were arranged in a non-factorial completely randomized design with eight fertilizer regimes and four replications, combining NPK with graded rates of Zn+Cu fertilizer. Pre- and post-planting soil nutrient analyses and post-harvest leaf tissue nutrient analyses were conducted, and vegetative traits, yield, Relative Agronomic Effectiveness (RAE), and fertilizer-use efficiency were evaluated. Soil Zn and Cu were initially very high and high, respectively, but remained below toxicity thresholds. Compared with regimes without Zn+Cu, Zn+Cu additions significantly increased plant height, tiller number, and milled dry grain yield. Treatments P2–P7 achieved RAE >100%, indicating greater agronomic effectiveness than the non-Zn+Cu regimes. The most effective dosage was P6 (1 dosage NPK + 1.5 dosage Zn+Cu).
