Abstract

Longan fruit is in high demand; however, longan plants produce recalcitrant seeds, which are less resistant to drying and contain higher moisture levels than orthodox seeds. Recalcitrant seeds typically remain viable for only 3–5 days if not stored under optimal conditions. This study aimed to determine the optimal combination of organic storage media and storage duration for maintaining longan seed viability. The first factor was the type of organic storage medium (sawdust, cocopeat, and rice husk charcoal), and the second was the storage duration (7, 14, 21, and 28 days). The parameters observed included germination power, sprout length, sprout weight, maximum growth potential, and sprout root length. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, and the data were analyzed using ANOVA. When significant effects were detected, a post-hoc BNJ test at the 5% level was conducted. The analysis revealed no significant interaction between storage media type and duration on any parameter. The storage medium had no significant effect, whereas storage duration significantly affected germination power, sprout length, and sprout weight, but not maximum growth potential or root length. Seeds stored for 7 days performed better than those stored for 28 days. Control seeds (without storage) exhibited the best overall results. This study suggests that longan seeds can be stored for up to 7 days while maintaining optimal viability, which is useful for seed distribution and commercial cultivation.

Abstract

Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo var. Cantalupensis L.) is a high-value horticultural crop, popular among consumers for its sweet taste and distinctive aroma. Hydroponic cultivation of cantaloupe using a drip irrigation system offers a promising solution to overcome land limitations, particularly in urban areas. The success of this system is largely influenced by the type of planting medium and the provision of appropriate nutrients. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different combinations of planting media and seaweed extract doses on the growth and yield of cantaloupe plants. The experiment was conducted from October to December 2024 at the Puspa Lebo Greenhouse, Lebo Village, Sidoarjo District, Sidoarjo Regency, located at an altitude of 4 meters above sea level, with daily temperatures ranging from 26.9°C to 30.4°C. A completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors was used: planting media (cocopeat, rice husk charcoal, and a mixture of cocopeat and rice husk charcoal) and seaweed extract doses (0, 5, 10, and 15 g/plant). The results indicated that cocopeat as a planting medium had a significant positive effect on fruit weight. Additionally, a seaweed extract dose of 5 g/plant significantly enhanced vegetative growth parameters, including plant length and leaf number. In the generative phase, a dose of 10 g/plant significantly influenced the timing of flower emergence and harvest age.
