Abstract

Sugar demand is rising with population growth, and although sugar production increased from 2018 to 2022, it has not met national demand. To boost national sugar production, proper fertilizer management is crucial. By calculating and applying compound fertilizer formulations tailored to the specific needs of sugarcane, fertilization efficiency, productivity, and sugar yield can be enhanced. This research aimed to evaluate the performance of morphological characteristics of ratoon sugarcane in response to NPK nutrient management using specific fertilizer formulations. The field study was conducted in Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta, from September 2023 to December 2024. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three treatments, consisting of NPKSZn (15-15-15-9-0.2) at 400 kg ha⁻¹ + ZA (21N-24S) at 600 kg ha⁻¹ (control); NPKS (14-9-18-4) at 1000 kg ha⁻¹ (Formulation 1); and NPK (23-7-14) at 1000 kg ha⁻¹ (Formulation 2), and four blocks as replications. The collected data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level, followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at α = 5% to determine the most effective fertilizer formulation. The results showed that the application of these fertilizer formulations significantly affected stalk diameter, millable cane yield and brix content. These findings highlight the importance of synchronized vegetative phase fertilization to optimize ratoon cane growth and support sustainable sugarcane production in Inceptisol soils.

Abstract

Melon have the potential to produce 10-20 fruits per plant; however, the quality of each fruit is often suboptimal due to inefficient assimilate distribution. This study aimed to determine the optimal fruiting branch position to maximize the growth, yield, and quality of melons in a fertigation hydroponic system. The research was conducted in a 168 m² greenhouse owned by PT Lentera Agropedia Nusantara, located in Pripih, Hargomulyo, Kulon Progo, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A split-plot experimental design was used, with melon cultivars (Sweet Hami and Kirin) as the main factor and fruiting branch positions (lower, middle, and upper) as the sub-factor. The results showed that middle (9th to 10th nodes) and upper (11th to 12th nodes) fruiting branches exhibited greater fruit weight, length, and diameter compared to lower branches (7th to 8th nodes). Kirin cultivar had thicker flesh, and the interaction between cultivar and branch position significantly influenced the fruit cavity diameter. Middle and upper branches produced fruits of similar quality when harvested at 70 days after planting. Fruiting on the lower branches (7th to 8th nodes) produces fruits with lower weight, length, and diameter.Considering the risks associated with fruiting on upper branches, it is recommended to maintain melons on middle branches, specifically at the 9th to 10th nodes.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a Zn–Cu compound micronutrient fertilizer on growth, yield components, productivity, and nutrient use efficiency of Servo tomato. The field experiment was conducted in Srigading Village, Sanden Subdistrict, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from January to April 2025. Treatments were arranged in a single-factor Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with eight fertilization levels and four replications, combining NPK fertilizer with graded doses of Zn+Cu micronutrient fertilizer. Soil nutrient analyses were conducted before and after planting, while leaf tissue nutrient analysis was performed prior to harvest. Observed parameters included vegetative growth, yield components, Relative Agronomic Effectiveness (RAE), and fertilizer-use efficiency. The results showed that the combination of micronutrient fertilizer and NPK significantly enhanced nutrient uptake and yield. The highest Cu uptake was obtained in treatment P7 (¾ NPK dose + 1.5 micronutrient dose) at 0.08137 g ha-1, while the highest Zn uptake was recorded in P4 (1 NPK dose + 1 micronutrient dose) at 0.24696 g ha-1. Treatment P7 increased branch number up to three branches per plant and produced the highest yield of 39.50 t ha-1. The RAE value exceeded 100%, indicating that the tested fertilizer was 209.38% as effective as the standard fertilization. These findings highlight that the synergy and balance between macro- and micronutrients play a more critical role in determining productivity than the high uptake of a single nutrient alone.

Abstract

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of Indonesia’s leading and important export commodities. The cocoa plant rejuvenation techniques aim to increase cocoa production and quality. Ring budding and side grafting can rejuvenate old and unproductive cocoa plants. Therefore, this research was conducted with objectives: 1) to record macronutrient contents, yield components and yields of three cocoa clones, KKM 22, RCC 70 and RCC 71, rejuvenated with ring budding and side grafting, 2) to determine the best techniques in rejuvenation program for old cocoa stand based on nutrient contents, yield components, and yields indicators of three cocoa clones. This research was carried out from November 2020 to January 2021 at Cocoa Plantation, North Segayung Production Unit, Pagilaran Company. The results showed that ring-budded plants had the highest N nutrients content in leaves, stem organic-C production capacity, pods number per stand per year, dry weight bean per stand per year and dry weight bean per hectare per year, which was significantly better than side grafted plants. The macronutrient of total parts (leaves, stem, and root) trend was leaves > stem > root. The trend of macronutrients in cocoa were organic-C > N > Ca > K > Mg > P. Based on the macronutrient content of cocoa tissue, KKM 22 have a higher content of organic-C, N, P, K, Ca, and Mg compared to RCC 71 and RCC 70. The budding ring technique was the best in the rejuvenation program for old cocoa stands based on nutrient contents, yield components, and yield indicators of three cocoa clones.

Abstract

Rice contributes significantly to methane emissions. In the north coastal region of Central Java Island, flooding irrigation for high-yielding rice cultivation is used throughout the rice-producing season to reduce the salinity effect. Information on methane emissions in coastal rice fields, particularly in salt-affected soil, is still limited. This study aimed to measure the methane emissions from different high-yielding rice varieties and examine the association with agronomic performance. The study site was in the Wedung district of Demak Regency, Central Java, and the research was carried out from November 2022 to March 2023. Eight rice cultivars—Ciherang, Inpari 32, Inpari 34, Inpari 35, Biosalin 1, Biosalin 2, Inpari Unsoed 79, and Inpari 30—were investigated. The experiment was designed as a randomized block with four replications. Methane gas samples were collected during the growing season in relation to rice stages. There were substantial differences in methane emissions among the eight rice varieties. Inpari 32, Ciherang, and Biosalin 1 had higher rice yields and lower yield-scale methane emissions than the other five rice varieties. Grain production and effective tiller number were significantly (p<0.01) and inversely linked to methane emissions. We found Inpari 32, Ciherang, and Biosalin 1 to be low-methane and high-yielding rice cultivars in salt-affected soil. These findings suggest that the use of these rice varieties by coastal farmers could help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
