Abstract

Hydroponic farming, as a modern agricultural method, has shown great potential in increasing the efficiency of food production on limited land. Even though hydroponics does not directly use soil, understanding the physical properties of soil remains relevant in the context of developing efficient and sustainable growing media. This research aims to explore the physical properties of soil—such as texture, porosity, and density—and how these properties can be adapted to increase plant yields in hydroponic systems. In addition, this research identifies the challenges faced in implementing hydroponics, including limited knowledge about the interactions between growing media and plants, as well as economic and environmental aspects that need to be considered. Thus, it is hoped that this study will provide valuable insights for the development of more effective and sustainable hydroponic farming practices.

Abstract

The evaluation of technology-based irrigation in the agricultural sector aims to assess the effectiveness and impact of modern irrigation technologies in improving water use efficiency, crop productivity, and environmental sustainability. This study examines the application of automated irrigation systems based on soil moisture sensors and drip irrigation technology in several agricultural areas. The research findings show that the use of sensor-based irrigation technology can reduce water usage by 35-40%, compared to conventional irrigation methods, which tend to be more wasteful. In addition, this technology increases crop productivity by approximately 20-25% due to more efficient and timely water distribution. Operational costs are also reduced, particularly in terms of water consumption and labor. Another positive impact is the contribution of irrigation technology to environmental conservation, by reducing water waste and preventing damage to agricultural ecosystems. Although the higher initial investment cost poses a challenge, long-term results indicate that sensor-based irrigation technology provides significant benefits for the agricultural sector, both economically and environmentally. This study recommends the wider adoption of irrigation technologies, supported by policies that facilitate access and training for farmers.

Abstract

Corn (Zea mays L.) is an important food crop whose successful cultivation largely depends on seed germination. Water plays a crucial role in germination by activating seed metabolism through the imbibition process. This study aimed to examine the effect of soaking duration on the speed and quality of corn seed germination. The research employed a completely randomized design with four soaking durations (0, 6, 12, and 24 hours), each replicated three times. Corn seeds were soaked according to the treatment times, then germinated on wet cotton media and observed for seven days. Parameters measured included germination percentage, radicle emergence time, and seedling length. Results showed that soaking duration significantly influenced all observed parameters. Soaking for 12 hours produced the best results with the highest germination percentage, faster radicle emergence, and optimal seedling length compared to other treatments. Short soaking times were insufficient to stimulate imbibition, while excessively long soaking reduced germination percentage due to oxygen deficiency and risk of seed decay. In conclusion, soaking corn seeds for 12 hours is recommended as the optimal duration to improve germination success. These findings can serve as a guideline for farmers to enhance seedling techniques for corn.
