Abstract

The Shallots are one of the commodities in high demand in Indonesia. One method for increasing shallot growth is to use good planting media and seed treatment. The purpose of this experiment was to see what effect planting media and seed soaking had on the growth of shallot TSS (Allium ascalonicum L.). A factorial randomized block design (RAK) with three replications was used in the experiment. The first factor is the planting media, which is divided into three levels: M1 (cocopeat), M2 (zeolite), and M3 (sand). The second factor is seed soaking, which has three levels: no soaking (P0), warm water 35°C 30 minutes (P1), and plain water 24 hours (P2). When compared to sand planting media, the treatment of cocopeat and zeolite planting media had a significant effect on germination capacity and fresh weight. Soaking shallot seeds in warm water at 35°C for 30 minutes and plain water for 24 hours had a significant effect on germination, plant height, number of leaves 7-21 DAT, fresh weight, and dry weight of shallots compared to not soaking. There is a significant interaction that affects the percentage of germination. However, there was no significant interaction between plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight, and dry weight of shallots and various planting media and seed soaking.

Abstract

Monochoria vaginalis is an invasive weed that thrives in rice paddies across Indonesia. Herbicide control is challenging since Monochoria vaginalis is known to be sulfonylurea-resistant in Indonesian rice fields. This weed is highly competitive, with a rapid growth pattern that may diminish rice production. Metsulfuron-methyl, a widely used herbicide, can potentially eliminate sensitive weeds at low dosage levels. This study aimed to identify the optimal dosage of metsulfuron-methyl for controlling Monochoria vaginalis and assess the impact of monoculture rice growing patterns and herbicide application in controlling weeds. The experimental design was a split-plot design with four replications, conducted from June to July 2023 in the Cikabayan Greenhouse at IPB University. The major plot was the Monochoria vaginalis accession: exposed or not exposed to herbicide, consisting of seven sites. The subplot represented the dosage of the active ingredient (a.i.) metsulfuron-methyl: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 g.ha-1. In addition to the field experiments, interviews were performed with five farmers from each of the seven Monochoria vaginalis sample accessions to assess rice planting patterns and herbicide usage history. The results showed that metsulfuron-methyl at 1 g.ha-1 reduced weed populations by over 50% in rice accessions Bugel, Palumbonsari, and Ciasem Hilir. Variability in Monochoria vaginalis indicated resistance to metsulfuron-methyl, necessitating greater dosages up to 8 g a.i. per ha-1 for Pasirkaliki and Rancajaya accessions. Our study also indicated that some areas could use lower dosages of herbicides to effectively control Monochoria vaginalis. In contrast to other places that required larger, three-yearly dosages of 100 to 125 g.ha-1, Bugel, Palumbonsari, and Ciasem Hilir used a twice-yearly dosage of 20 g.ha-1. These findings highlight the importance of tailored herbicide application strategies based on local resistance patterns and historical herbicide use to manage Monochoria vaginalis effectively.

Abstract

The Mojorejo Women Farmers Group (KWT Mojorejo Lestari) consists of 20 housewives from Mojorejo Village, Selupu Rejang District, Rejang Lebong Regency. Most members have a secondary education background and engage mainly in household activities and small-scale farming. Limited knowledge and skills in managing local resources have hindered the group from developing productive businesses. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to empower the Mojorejo Women Farmers Group through vocational training using a learning by doing approach by utilizing butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) as the basis for developing innovative functional herbal tea bag products. The program included socialization, technical training, processing demonstrations, and qualitative evaluation through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The results showed that the group members were able to process butterfly pea into herbal tea bags with four flavor variants (butterfly pea + lemon, ginger, lemongrass, and cinnamon). Drying using a dehydrator was proven to be more effective than traditional sun drying, producing better color, aroma, and bioactive content. The tea bag products have been introduced to families and the local community, receiving positive responses and showing potential as a local flagship product. This activity not only improved the participants’ technical skills but also enhanced their entrepreneurial motivation and strengthened the organizational capacity of KWT Mojorejo to sustainably manage local resource-based businesses.
