Abstract

Lansium domesticum Corr. is a fruit crop with high consumer demand; however, its conventional propagation is relatively slow. In vitro culture offers a potential alternative to accelerate plant propagation. This study aimed to evaluate sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)-based sterilization protocols and identify the most effective treatment for in vitro establishment of leaf lamina explants. The experiment was conducted at the Tissue Culture Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sriwijaya, from July to September 2024 using five sterilization treatments with different NaOCl concentrations and exposure times. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the percentages of bacterial contamination, fungal contamination, surviving explants, and browning incidence. The results showed that the treatment consisting of liquid detergent (3 min), 0.2% streptomycin sulfate (10 min), 0.2% benomyl (10 min), 1% NaOCl (15 min), and 70% ethanol (5 min) was the most effective protocol. This treatment resulted in 63% explant survival, 0% browning, 33% bacterial contamination, and 3% fungal contamination. This study provides a practical sterilization protocol that balances antimicrobial effectiveness and tissue viability, representing a novel contribution for in vitro propagation of Lansium domesticum. The findings have important implications for improving large-scale propagation efficiency of this economically important tropical fruit species. These results indicate that moderate NaOCl exposure is essential to achieve an optimal balance between contamination control and explant viability in in vitro culture systems.

Abstract

Plant health problems caused by pests and diseases remain a significant challenge for farmers, especially in cultivating red curly chili and cayenne pepper. Conventional reliance on synthetic pesticides raises environmental and economic concerns. This community service program aimed to enhance farmers' knowledge in using biological agents as alternatives to synthetic pesticides to strengthen plant resistance. The program was carried out in Tanjung Dayang Utara Village, Ogan Ilir, through stages of preparation, implementation, evaluation, mentoring, and monitoring. Methods included lectures and demonstrations on using Pseudomonas fluorescens and Trichoderma sp. through seed soaking and soil or foliar application. A total of 50 farmers attended, receiving both theoretical and practical training. The evaluation was conducted in three phases: pre-, during, and post-activity. Previous approaches relied heavily on synthetic pesticides, while recent innovations emphasize ecological pest management using microbial antagonists. The outcomes showed a high level of enthusiasm and improved understanding among farmers regarding natural pest resistance mechanisms. Farmers were able to practice the propagation and application of beneficial microbes supported by educational materials. The program reduced farmers' dependency on chemical inputs and contributed to sustainable agricultural practices. This model using replicable in similar agroecosystems facing pest and disease issues. The main problem addressed was farmers’ limited knowledge and skills in utilizing biological control agents as environmentally friendly alternatives. The implementation consisted of preparation, training through lectures and demonstrations, field practice, and evaluation. The results indicated measurable improvements, including increased knowledge based on evaluation scores and reduced reliance on chemical pesticides
