Abstract

Beneng taro is a perennial of Araceae and becomes a new commodity in Indonesia. The research aimed to evaluate the growth and yield of beneng taro on various statuses of soil organic carbon (SOC). Three genotypes of taro, i.e., beneng Banten, beneng Bondowoso, and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) fodder taro were planted in three SOC levels, i.e., 1.79, 2.94, and 4.09% in a randomized split block design in the Leuwikopo Experimental Station, IPB from April to December 2021. SOC was designed by adding cow manure. The results showed that there was no interaction between genotypes and SOC. The increase in SOC from 1.79 to 4.09% did not significantly affect growth but significantly affected the diameter and yield of beneng and NTT fodder taro. An increase in SOC above 1.79% markedly decreased tuber diameter, but conversely increased fresh tuber weight. Tuber weight increased by 5.6% and 12.1% with an increase in SOC from control to 2.94% and 4.09%, respectively. The increase in tuber weight was supported by the trend of increasing biomass weight and the number of roots. SOC source in the present study was cow manure which may also contribute some nutrients, therefore, further research is needed using neutral organic carbon sources to determine the effect solely.

Abstract

Weeds pose a significant challenge in agricultural activity by competing with cultivated crops for essential resources. The conventional use of chemical herbicides has demonstrated adverse impacts on the environment and human health, prompting a shift toward exploring bioherbicides. This study aimed to assess the inhibitory effects of Apus bamboo (Gigantochloa apus Kurz) leaf extract on the pre-germination phase of Brassica juncea, Asystasia gangetica, and Cyperus rotundus through bioassay and pot experiment. The research design employed a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor representing the concentrations of Apus bamboo leaf extract (% w/v). The concentrations tested were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Each concentration was replicated three times, resulting in 15 experimental units. Bioassay results revealed the capacity of Apus bamboo leaf extract to inhibit and disrupt B. juncea seed germination. The pot experiment results demonstrated the inhibitory effects of the extract, significantly affecting A. gangetica germination and population, A. gangetica total fresh and dry weight, and C. rotundus total dry weight. The extract exhibited strong inhibition, starting at a concentration of 15% for A. gangetica and 10% for C. rotundus. The findings suggested that Apus bamboo leaf extract holds significant potential as a bioherbicide.

Abstract

Taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a leading commodity in Bogor Regency faces challenges in technology adoption, price fluctuations, and post-harvest infrastructure, so a participatory approach such as a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) is needed to formulate innovative and applicable solutions. This FGD activity aims to identify challenges, opportunities, and strategic solutions for taro farmers in Bogor Regency. Bogor taro is one of the leading commodities with high economic potential, both for the local market and for export. However, farmers face various challenges, such as low adoption of modern technology, price fluctuations, limited access to capital, weak farmer group organizations, and pest and disease attacks. The FGD was carried out in several stages, namely preparation, group discussion, data analysis, and follow-up. The FGD involved 29 participants consisting of taro farmers with diverse profiles based on age, education, farming experience, and land area. The results of the FGD showed several opportunities, such as the development of taro-based processed products, organic farming practices, and export potential. The proposed strategic solutions included technical training to increase productivity, diversification of processed products, government policy support, and strengthening the role of women and youth in farming. The results of this activity are expected to serve as a guide for stakeholders to promote the sustainability and development of the taro farming sector in Bogor Regency.
