Abstract

  This study aims to analyze the effects of different types of mulch on soil physical properties, including moisture, temperature, and porosity, as well as on crop production quality. The experiment was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four treatments: no mulch (control), silver-black plastic mulch, rice straw mulch, and sawdust mulch. The results indicate that mulch usage significantly increased soil moisture and maintained a more stable temperature compared to the control. Silver-black plastic mulch increased soil temperature by 2–3°C, while organic mulches provided higher moisture retention and improved porosity. Furthermore, plant production quality, including plant height, branch count, and fruit yield, was better in the mulched treatments, especially with plastic mulch. Economic analysis suggests that organic mulch is more cost-effective in the long term and supports sustainable agricultural practices. Thus, mulch usage is an effective technique to improve soil quality and crop productivity.

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of using organic pesticides in controlling pests on vegetable crops. The use of organic pesticides is increasingly popular as an environmentally friendly alternative compared to synthetic pesticides, which can damage ecosystems. In this study, the organic pesticides tested were derived from natural materials such as plant extracts and microorganisms. The research was conducted on agricultural land planted with various types of vegetables, such as tomatoes, mustard greens, and eggplants. The results showed that organic pesticides significantly reduced pest populations without decreasing crop yields. Additionally, the use of organic pesticides did not have a negative impact on soil and water quality around the plants. Thus, the use of organic pesticides can be an effective and sustainable solution for pest control in vegetable crops.
