Abstract

This study aims to analyze the early growth of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) at the vegetative stage, which are planted in ponds as an alternative medium in Laverna, Gunungsitoli, to address the challenge of limited rice field land. The method used is descriptive quantitative, with the observed parameters including plant height, number of stems, and number of leaves measured on days 7, 15, and 22 after planting. Samples were taken from 10 plants out of a total population of 35 planting holes with 5 stems per hole. The research results show a significant increase in growth during the observation period. The height of the plants increased from an average of 12 cm on day 7 to 29 cm on day 22. The number of stems also showed growth, from an average of 2.5 stems to 2.8 stems per plant. Meanwhile, the number of leaves increased more significantly from 5 to 11 leaves. However, this growth is not without challenges, especially the attack of golden apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata) which caused some plants to lose leaves and stems, and even die in some cases. However, the growth of the plants is supported by the pond conditions that provide stable moisture, as well as the presence of microorganisms in the growing medium that contribute to nutrient availability. This study concludes that pond cultivation systems have the potential to be an efficient alternative for rice farming in terms of water usage and adaptability to climate change, provided they are accompanied by pest management and the selection of appropriate varieties. Thus, this system can be developed as a sustainable agricultural solution in areas with limited rice field land, such as coastal regions and river basins. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for further research as well as practical guidelines for farmers and stakeholders in the agricultural sector.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effects of different growing media—soil, compost, and sand—on the growth of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) plants. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and five replications. Growth parameters including plant height, number of leaves, and root length were observed over an eight-week period. The results indicated that the type of growing medium had a significant effect on all measured parameters. Plants grown in compost exhibited the highest average plant height and number of leaves, followed by those grown in soil. In contrast, sand produced the lowest growth performance. Although the longest root length was observed in plants grown in sand, this was likely a response to water and nutrient stress. Compost proved to be the most effective medium for supporting healthy and uniform peanut growth. These findings suggest that compost, as an organic-rich growing medium, can significantly improve peanut cultivation and serve as a sustainable option for areas with limited fertile soil.
