Abstract

Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and kinetin play a crucial role in plant growth but must be used in correct proportions in order to produce the best outcomes. An optimal combination of both can enhance shoot, leaf, and root growth, whereas inappropriate doses may otherwise inhibit growth due to hormonal imbalance. This study examined the effects of the interaction between NAA and kinetin on the growth of chrysanthemum plants at eight weeks of age. The research was carried out using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in triplicate. The medium used was MS medium, supplemented with NAA at concentrations of 0–1.5 mg/L and kinetin at concentrations of 0–3 mg/L. The results indicate that NAA and kinetin positively influenced plant growth, but only when the optimal concentrations were applied. The best combination of NAA at 1.0 mg/L (N2) and kinetin at 3.0 mg/L (K3) produced the best results in terms of height (153 mm), number of leaves (31 leaves), number of roots (26 roots), and fresh weight (5.85 g). Increasing kinetin concentrations (K0-3) generally promoted plant growth, whereas excessive NAA concentrations (> 1.0 mg/L, N3) produced the opposite effect, likely due to toxicity or hormonal imbalance. The interaction between kinetin and NAA exhibited a synergistic effect up to a certain threshold, while excessive NAA application negatively impacted on plant development.

Abstract

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. capsici is one of the most destructive diseases affecting red chili pepper cultivation because it significantly reduces plant growth and yield. Disease management that still relies on synthetic fungicides may increase environmental pollution and promote pathogen resistance; therefore, environmentally friendly control alternatives are required. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of several local rhizobacterial isolates as antagonistic agents against Fusarium wilt in red chili pepper. The novelty of this study lies in the evaluation of indigenous rhizobacterial isolates with dual functions as antagonistic agents against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. capsici and as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) capable of enhancing red chili pepper growth under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. The results showed that all rhizobacterial isolates significantly inhibited pathogen growth. Isolate UBI-Rz04 exhibited the highest inhibition rate of 85.78% and the lowest fungal biomass (0.03 g) under in vitro conditions. In the in vivo assay, isolate UBI-Rz01 reduced disease incidence to 44.67%, compared with 80.00% in the control, and suppressed the pathogen population to 3.33 × 10⁵ CFU/g soil. Rhizobacterial application also improved red chili pepper growth. These findings indicate that local rhizobacteria have strong potential as environmentally friendly biological control agents for sustainable red chili pepper cultivation.

Abstract

Red chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a horticultural plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family. Chili cultivation often encounters problems, namely anthracnose disease caused by the fungus Colletotrichum. This study aims to determine the most effective Trichoderma species for suppressing red chili seed-borne Colletotrichum pathogens. This study was conducted from March to April 2025. This research method used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications. P0 = Control (Without soaking with Trichoderma suspension) P1 = Red chili seeds soaked with Trichoderma harzianum suspension for 9 hours P2 = Red chili seeds soaked with Trichoderma viride suspension for 9 hours P3 = Red chili seeds soaked with Trichoderma asperellum suspension for 9 hours P4 = Red chili seeds soaked with fungicide for 5 minutes. The parameters observed were: Germination percentage (%), seedling height (cm), and number of leaves (stalks). Trichoderma treatment significantly affected germination percentage, red chili seedling height, and leaf number. In terms of treatment percentage, P1, P2, and P3 were significantly different in red chili seed germination percentage, but the three treatments were not significantly different from P0 and P4. Soaking local chili seeds with various Trichoderma suspensions was best found in the types of Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma asperellum because it can be seen from the value of the results of the percentage of germination power, the average height of seedlings, and the number of leaves, the values ​​​​of Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma asperellum were the highest.

Abstract

Salak Sidimpuan (*Salacca sumatrana Becc.) is a superior horticultural commodity unique to South Tapanuli Regency, possessing economic value and potential as a local genetic resource. Variations in agroecological conditions, particularly elevation, are hypothesized to influence the expression of the plant's morphological traits. This study aimed to characterize the vegetative and generative morphology of Salak Sidimpuan at two locations with differing elevations and to analyze the degree of morphological similarity and kinship relationships among accessions. The research was conducted in January 2026 in Sigumuru Village, West Angkola District (470 meters above sea level/masl) and Sibong-bong Village, South Angkola District (352 masl). A survey method employing purposive sampling was used. Twenty accessions were observed based on vegetative and generative traits. Data were analyzed descriptively, while kinship relationships were analyzed using NTSYS-pc software (version 2.02) and presented as a dendrogram. The results showed that qualitative traits—such as leaf sheath arrangement, flower color, flower position, fruit skin color, and seed color—exhibited a high level of uniformity across both locations. Conversely, quantitative traits—including leaf length and area, spine length, number of bunches, fruit weight, flesh texture, and fruit shape—showed variation among accessions. Dendrogram analysis revealed that most accessions shared a high degree of morphological similarity and did not cluster according to their location of origin; thus, the elevation difference of 352–470 masl did not exert a significant influence on the morphological traits of Salak Sidimpuan. This study indicates that morphological variation is influenced more by the interaction between genetic factors and local agroecological conditions than by elevation differences. These findings can serve as a basis for accession identification, genetic resource conservation, and the development of superior Salak Sidimpuan varieties.Keywords: Salacca sumatrana, morphology, kinship relationships

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of synthetic and natural plant growth regulators on the growth of wax apple (Syzygium samarangense) shoot cuttings and to determine the most effective treatment. The experiment was conducted from January to March 2026 in Siabu Village, Mandailing Natal Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. A completely randomized design (CRD) with seven treatments was employed, consisting of a control, Rootone-F at 100, 200, and 300 ppm, and shallot (Allium cepa L.) extract at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75%, with four replications each. The observed parameters included survival percentage, shoot height, number of leaves, primary root length, and number of primary roots. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% significance level. The results showed that both synthetic and natural plant growth regulators significantly improved all observed growth parameters compared with the control. The application of Rootone-F at 300 ppm produced the best performance, with a 95.00% survival rate, shoot height of 13.45 cm, 8.75 leaves, primary root length of 12.75 cm, and 14.75 primary roots. Meanwhile, 75% shallot extract produced growth responses comparable to the best treatment, indicating its potential as an economical and environmentally friendly natural plant growth regulator. Therefore, Rootone-F at 300 ppm is recommended as the most effective treatment for improving the propagation success of wax apple shoot cuttings.Abstrak ditulis secara ringkas dan faktual dalam bahasa indonesia dan bahasa inggris.
