Abstract

The uncertainty in precipitation patterns resulting from climate change may contribute to uncertainties in the growing seasons and productivity of rice and other agricultural commodities. This study aimed to examine the changes in precipitation and cropping patterns across various topographic sequences of volcanic regions in Central Java, Indonesia. Precipitation data from 33 rainfall stations across three topographic sequences (0-400 meters, 400-700 meters, and above 700 meters above sea level, categorized as high, mid, and lowlands, respectively) were analyzed to understand cropping patterns using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings revealed that farmers' actual cropping patterns were not primarily influenced by precipitation levels but rather by soil suitability. Moreover, the frequency of drought occurrences, as indicated by the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), did not significantly impact cropping patterns or crop yields. Instead, agricultural yields were found to be dependent on irrigation infrastructure rather than precipitation levels. This study sheds light on the importance of adaptation and mitigation strategies to address the adverse impacts of climate change on agricultural management across different topographic sequences.

Abstract

Monitoring  lemon production requires appropriate and efficient technology. The use of UAVs can addressed these challenges. The purpose of this study was to determine the best vegetation indices (VIs) for estimating chlorophyll content, plant height (PH), canopy area (CA), and fruit total numberas (FTN). CCM 200 was used as a tool to measure the chlorophyll content index (CCI), the number of fruits was measured by hand-counter, and other variables were recorded in meters. The UAV used was a Phantom 4 with a multispectral camera capable of capturing five different bands. The VIs was obtained via analysis of digital numbers generated by the multispectral camera. Then, the VIs was correlated with the CCI, PH, CA and FTN. VIs tested included the following: the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the normalized difference vegetation index-green (NDVIg), the normalized different index (NDI), green minus red (GMR), simple ratio (SR), the Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI), normalized difference red edge (NDRE), simple ratio red-edge (SRRE), the simple ratio vegetation index (SRVI), and the Canopy Chlorophyll Content Index (CCCI). The best model for predicting CCI was obtained using the NDVIg (R2=0.8480; RMSE=6.1665 and RRMSE=0.0908). Meanwhile, SR turned out to be the best model for predicting PH (R2=0.8266; RMSE=15.6432 and RRMSE=0.0883), CA (R2=0.6886; RMSE= 0.8826 and RRMSE=0.1907), and FTN (R2=0.6850; RMSE=24.5574 and RRMSE=0.3503). The implication of these results for future activities includes establishing early monitoring and evaluation systems for lemon yield and production. This model was developed and tested in this specific location and under these environmental conditions.

Abstract

Soil physico-chemical properties significantly influence the quality, growth, productivity, and flavor of coffee. The current study estimates the soil nutritional properties and microbial diversity with the severity of coffee leaf rust disease. A total of twenty-nine localities were surveyed in the major coffee-growing district of Karnataka, mainly Chikkamagaluru, Kodagu, and Hassan, covering the canopies of arabica and robusta coffee plantations. The study on soil quality evaluation determines the sustainability and practices of land management in this region. The physico-chemical properties and microbial diversity of the soil were analysed. Twenty-nine soil parameters were analyzed using principal component analysis, which accounts for five principal components with eigenvalues>1 explaining 9 % of the total variance. The nine principal components together explain 82.24 % of the total variance. According to K-means clustering, soil analysis can be classified into four clusters. Soil microbial communities primarily control the complex ecosystems of soil, including root- and rhizosphere-associated beneficial microbes, and play a vital role as key components in crop production and sustainable agriculture. The present study revealed that the fertility level of the soil and the diverse taxa of rhizospheric microflora from various soil samples, characterized by an abundant diversity of beneficial microbes, such as Trichoderma sp., Bacillus sp., Penicillium sp., and Pseudomonas sp. Furthermore, this work gives insights into the sustainable soil quality and disease management practices that can help farmers to adopt better soil management practices for improving the quality and quantity of coffee production in Karnataka, India.

Abstract

El Nino, which hit Indonesia in 2023, poses severe food security threats due to the high dry season with no rainfall and minimal cloud cover and can trigger serious drought problems if it happen for a long time. This study aimed to explore the impact on agricultural land in Bondowoso Regency during El Nino events. The analysis in this study primarily uses land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI) map distribution. The Landsat data from USGS are collected and processed to become LST and NDVI distribution maps. Data analysis focused on the agricultural area layers based on data from the Indonesia geospatial portal. Referring to the LST and NDVI map distribution, the notable rise of LST starts in August 2023, and the peak is in October 2023. Around 46% of areas in the Bondowoso regency are detected as hotspot areas, which had LST above 30oC in October 2023. El Nino affects the irrigated lands and rain-fed fields more than the plantations. The NDVI alteration data does not show that the Bondowoso Regency is experiencing extraordinary drought due to the short-term impact of El Nino. However, the emergence of numerous areas in the moderate NDVI category warns that stress affecting vegetation is starting to occur. Mitigation plans should be prepared for the long-term impact of El Nino, particularly in the hotspot areas. This study could be a comprehension tool for the government and farmers to prepare mitigation plans.

Abstract

Water supply is one of the determining factors for successful production during tomato cultivation. Many farmers still carry out vegetable seedling activities using polybags and provide water daily. This research aims to find out whether this potting compost can store water well to be an alternative to polybags as a planting medium. Pot compost with tapioca adhesive has good water absorption and storage capabilities, which can help increase water storage capacity, reducing the need for irrigation water. This research uses a descriptive analysis method with the parameters measured including vegetative growth, length and width of cracks in compost pot, and compost weight before and after watering. The vegetative observations of tomato plants showed that treatment T1 had better growth than treatments T2 and T3 in plant height which averaged 56.40 mm and an average number of leaves of 5.20 strands on day 14. However, treatment T2 had better shape resistance than treatment T1 which only had an average crack length of 25 mm and an average crack width of 2.20 mm. In observations of measuring the water holding capacity of pot compost, treatment T3 was found to be the most optimal in storing water because on day 6 it still stored 12 ml of water compared to treatments T2 and T1. If this research is applied to large-scale plant nurseries, it can reduce plastic waste originating from polybags.

Abstract

Rice is the food source for the community, including in the South Sulawesi area. Consequently, proper management is needed to support optimal production results. Several farmers are currently starting to develop organic farming systems due to the shortcomings of the conventional farming system such as the use of chemical inputs, land degradation, and decreased production. This study aims to compare the organic farming developed by farmers with conventional farming systems in terms of land ownership, input, soil quality, and productivity. This research used a simple random sampling method to collect land and production data from 130 farmers (90 conventional, 40 organic).In general, in South Sulawesi, the organic farming system is better than conventional farming systems. The inputs in the conventional are certified seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, which will affect costs and have an effect in the long term. Meanwhile, in an organic farming system, seed needs are met independently by farmers, using organic materials (manure, compost, bokashi) and biopesticides. Productivity also shows that the organic farming system increases production than conventional farming. In the future, farmers can start to develop an organic farming system by adding various organic ingredients to support their field performance.

Abstract

Sustainable agriculture relies on maintaining healthy, ecologically balanced soil. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers has resulted in declining soil fertility, biodiversity loss, and structural degradation. In particular, the use of biofertilizers containing microbial inoculants that enhance plant growth and soil health offers a promising alternative by improving nutrient availability, suppressing pathogens, and restoring soil ecosystems. Studies have shown that rhizosphere microbes can enhance plant growth and control diseases by producing phytohormones and aiding nutrient uptake. Many bacterial genera can be used as biofertilizers, including nitrogen-fixers, phosphorus-solubilizers, potassium-solubilizers (K-solubilizers), and others. Among the diverse plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), species within the Pseudomonas genus have emerged as promising candidates due to their exceptional versatility and resilience. Pseudomonas spp. exhibits a wide array of plant growth-promoting traits, including atmospheric nitrogen fixation, solubilization of phosphorus and potassium, and the secretion of phytohormones such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gluconic acid. By systematically linking their metabolic traits to specific soil health and crop productivity outcomes, this review provides new insights into their potential application in sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture. Several Pseudomonas species have been extensively utilized as biofertilizers due to their multifunctional traits, adaptability to a wide range of soil environments, and capacity to enhance plant health under both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The primary objective of this review is to present a comprehensive overview of biofertilizer mechanisms and the functional roles of Pseudomonas spp., including selected strains known to improve plant growth and soil fertility.

Abstract

Plant productivity is often constrained by abiotic stress in the form of high salt levels. However, a symbiosis between plant and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can reduce the severity of the effect of salt stress on cultivated plants. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of salt stress on the antioxidant substances and biochemical parameters of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) plants that had been inoculated with the fungus Glomus manihotis. A factorial completely randomized design with seven replicates was used with status of inoculation by the fungus G. manihotis (inoculated vs. not inoculated) as one of factors and the concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) (0, 50, 100, and 200 mM) as the other status factor. Several parameters in the chia plants were measured including: root infection, phosphorus content, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase and catalase), and malondialdehyde content. The results showed that chia plants inoculated with G. manihotis (mycorrhizal plants), even under salt stress conditions, had higher phosphorus content than non-mycorrhizal plants. High salt levels reduced the percentage of root infection by the mycorrhizal fungus of G. manihotis. Under salt stress conditions, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of chia leaves were higher in mycorrhizal plants than in non-mycorrhizal plants. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase of mycorrhizal chia plants were higher than those of non-mycorrhizal plants, even though they were grown under conditions of high salt levels. The malondialdehyde content of chia plants increased with salt concentration, but decreased in chia plants inoculated with G. manihotis. The findings of this study indicate that G. manihotis inoculation is effective in reducing the effect of salt stress on chia plants.

Abstract

Heavy metals (HMS) contamination in soil is a major issue that significantly impacts plants and human health. Various approaches have been employed to mitigate the effects of heavy metals, including the application of microorganisms (MO). This study aims to analyze the impact of bioinoculation application on HMS content in plants and soil through a meta-analysis approach. Twenty-nine publications reviewed between 2001 and 2023 reported the effects of microorganism applications on HMS content in plants and soil. A systematic review was applied to select relevant studies, and effect sizes (ES) were calculated using Hedges’d to quantify the impact of microbial treatments on heavy metal content. The parameters observed were As, Hg, Cd, Cr, Ni, Co, Pb, Ni, Mn, Zn, and Fe in plants (shoots, roots, fruit, and total plants), soil, and plant biomass. The ES values of Hedges’ microorganisms HMS on soil, plants, and plant biomass were -3.257 (p<0.001), 1.234 (p<0.001), and 2.301 (p<0.001), respectively. The results showed that the greatest reduction in HMS content in the soil was the combined application of fungi and bacteria (ES -5.519; p<0.001), and the highest metal content absorbed by the soil and plants was Cu (ES -13.642; p<0.001) and Pb (2.645; p<0.001), respectively. This study showed that Orychophragmus violaceus had the highest metal absorption rate (ES 15.528, p<0.001) to help clean up heavy metal contamination, especially in agricultural land and industrial areas. This approach can improve soil quality, enhance plant growth, and reduce health risks, which benefits farmers, policymakers, and environmental agencies.

Abstract

Fertilization is crucial in maize cultivation, and inorganic fertilizers can be expensive. Therefore, it is essential to provide alternative fertilizers to reduce dependence on inorganic fertilizers. This study investigated the role of organic liquid fertilizer C. glomerata (OLFC) in increasing the efficiency of NPK Phonska fertilizer, influencing soil chemical reactions, and enhancing the growth and yield of maize on alluvial soils. The materials used were hybrid maize of the Pioneer 32, OLFC, and NPK Phonska (15-15-15). The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) in factorial. The OLFC was applied at 0 mL L-1, 5 mL L-1, and 10 mL L-1; NPK Phonska Fertilizer at 0, 150, and 300 kg ha-1 in three replications. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using ANOVA at 5%. Level of significance and mean separation using the LSD at 5% probability. The following parameters were evaluated: soil chemical properties and agronomic factors, such as the height of crop, net assimilation rate, relative growth rate, weight of 100 seeds, yield, and agronomic efficiency (AE). The highest maize yield recorded was 4.83 tons per hectare, achieved by applying 150 NPK Phonska kg per hectare, supported by a fertilization efficiency of 11.28%. Adding 5 mL per liter of OLFC every two weeks to maize plants resulted in the highest AE, reaching 21.81%.
