Abstract

Cocoa production in Indonesia has been challenged by declining productivity due to various factors, including cherelle wilt. Cherelle wilt, a condition characterized by the premature dropping of cocoa cherelle, is attributed to hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and abiotic stresses. Calcium, as an essential nutrient, plays a crucial role in plant growth and can help mitigate the incidence of cherelle wilt. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of calcium application in enhancing fruit set and reducing cherelle wilt in cocoa trees. The research was conducted from August 2020 to September 2022 at PT Pagilaran's Segayung Utara cocoa plantation, utilizing the RCC70 clone. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) was applied at rates of 0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 grams per tree per year. Results indicated that calcium fertilization improved the physiological performance of cocoa trees, as evidenced by enhanced chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) and photosynthetic rate. These physiological improvements led to increased flower and fruit production, as well as a reduction in the incidence of cherelle wilt, particularly at application rates of 200-400 grams per tree per year. Consequently, overall yield and productivity were significantly increased at these rates.

Abstract

Forest areas enrichment with multipurpose plants could increase the success of forest area management by the community. This study describes the performance of multipurpose trees as plant enrichment in community managed forest in Karang Sidemen Village, Central Lombok, and to analyze the factors that influence it. Data were collected in August 2023. Respondents were farmers who received plant enrichment assistance in 2017 sponsored by the Millennium Challenge Account Indonesia (MCAI). Vegetation data were collected from 36 sample plots of 20x20m with subplots of 10x10m and 5x5m. The results showed that the enrichment plants found were avocado, durian, mangosteen and langsat, with the population of 157 individuals/ha (5% of stem diameters (f) 10-<20cm and 96% of f 2-<10cm), which was less than that of banana population of 466 individuals/ha. The population without banana was 1383 individuals/ha with 5.93%, 45.86% and 89.66% belong to f >=20cm, 10-<20cm and 2-<10cm, respectively. The average f at 120cm height for enrichment plants of avocado, durian, mangosteen and langsat were 6.16cm, 5.48cm, 4.26cm and 3.77cm respectively, while the average plant height was 5.26m, 4.07m, 2.39m and 4.86 m respectively. Low soil organic content and dense plant populations tend to result in smaller diameters of multipurpose plants.

Abstract

The productivity of laying hens in NTB is still very low, especially on the island of Lombok. The low egg production in Lombok is caused by farmers in Lombok generally raising laying hens not following the standards recommended by feed and seed producers. Each feed producer sells its products at varying prices to attract farmers. The varying prices are determined by the formulation of each feed, Laying hens are very sensitive to changes in feed quality, The type of laying hen feed affects the quality, quantity and productivity of eggs. This study aims to obtain information on the level of productivity and quality of eggs from the use of each commercial concentrate circulating in the Lombok market. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with three treatments, namely: First treatment: Mixture of concentrate pattern with code C Second treatment: Mixture of concentrate pattern with code K Third treatment: Mixture of concentrate pattern with code S. The total number of chickens used in this study was 360 chickens that were 19 weeks old with an average body weight of 1,700 grams consisting of 3 treatments and 4 replications. Each treatment consisted of 120 chickens and each replication consisted of 30 chickens. The data obtained were analyzed by Analysis of Variance using Microsoft Excel software and then processed again with the Duncan's test. Feed productivity with code C: 82.75 ± 1.31. k: 88.33 ± 3.73. S: 83.13 ± 0.91. The internal and external quality of the three treatments did not produce significantly different results. The use of concentrate with code K provided the highest productivity, resulting in greater Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC). While the external and internal quality of eggs obtained in this study obtained results that were not significantly different.

Abstract

The utilization of organic waste as a base material for liquid fertilizer production is gaining popularity due to its environmental friendliness and potential to enhance crop productivity. Banana waste is one type of organic material that can be processed into liquid fertilizer containing nutrients beneficial for plant growth. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of applying liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) derived from banana waste on the growth and yield of long bean (Vigna unguiculata). The experiment was conducted at UG Technopark, Jamali Village, Cianjur, West Java, from March to June 2024, using a Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with a single factor, namely the concentration of banana POC, consisting of four levels: 0 ml/L (P0), 10 ml/L (P1), 20 ml/L (P2), and 30 ml/L (P3). The observed parameters included the number of leaves, stem diameter, plant height, pod fresh weight, pod length, number of pods, and flowering age. The results showed that the application of banana LOF significantly affected the growth and yield of long beans, particularly the number of leaves, stem diameter, plant height, and number of pods. Increasing the concentration of banana LOF positively impacted the observed growth and yield parameters.
