Abstract

Red chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is crucial for household consumption and the food industry, but its productivity declines due to soil fertility depletion caused by excessive chemical fertilizer use. This study aims to evaluate the effects of combining biological fertilizer and NPK on the growth and yield of red chili plants. A factorial completely randomized design (CRD) experiment with 12 treatment combinations was conducted at the UG Technopark Greenhouse, Cianjur, West Java, from May to August 2023. The first factor was the frequency of biological fertilizer application (none, biweekly, weekly, and twice a week), while the second factor was the NPK fertilizer dosage (none, 50%, and 100% of the recommended dose). The results showed that both fertilizers significantly influenced plant growth and yield, with the optimal treatment being the application of biological fertilizer twice a week combined with 100% of the recommended NPK dosage. A significant interaction between NPK dosage and biological fertilizer frequency was observed, affecting plant performance. These findings highlight the importance of integrating biological fertilizers with NPK to enhance red chili productivity while reducing reliance on chemical inputs, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems have a crucial role in absorbing and storing carbon, which contributes to controlling greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO₂) as the largest contributor to greenhouse gases. This research aims to measure sediment organic carbon stocks (SOCS) in the Muara Gembong mangrove area, Bekasi, West Java. Sediment samples were taken by purposive sampling from three locations with different mangrove characteristics, namely Station 1, Station 2 and Station 3. Samples were analyzed using the Loss on Ignition (LOI) method to determine the organic carbon content in the sediment. The research results showed that the highest carbon stock 669.95 tonnes/ha was found at Station 1, while the lowest carbon stock 2 501.78 tonnes/ha was at Station. In general, organic carbon content increases in deeper sediment layers. The dominant sediment texture is silty and silty loam, which supports carbon storage capacity. This research highlights the importance of preserving mangrove ecosystems as an effort to mitigate climate change through optimizing carbon storage in mangrove sediments.

Abstract

Coral reef monitoring using Reef Check Method has been widely applied for conservation acts due to its handy protocols. This study aims to evaluate the coral reef conditions in the zonal areas of Taka Bonerate National Park by analyzing the substrate composition of its waters. Conducted in November 2023 using the Reef Check method, the research focused on four stations: Tinabo Besar, Tinabo Kecil, Tinanja, and Taka Lasalimu. The substrate composition was categorized into living and non-living substrates at depths of 5 and 10 meters. At 5 meters depth, the highest percentage of living substrate cover, specifically hard coral (HC), was recorded at Tinanja (74%), while the highest non-living substrate cover, dead coral/rubble (RB), was observed at Tinabo Kecil (38%). At 10 meters depth, Tinanja again showed the highest living substrate cover (HC, 40%), whereas Tinabo Kecil had the highest non-living substrate cover (RB, 41%). The findings indicate that the coral reef Substrate in the TBNP zonal area is in good condition, although some locations show damage suspected to be caused by environmentally unfriendly fishing practices. This can serve as a reference for the future management of coral reefs in TNTBR. Further research is needed to comprehensively complete the data on coral reef health, such as data on reef fish and associated invertebrates.

Abstract

Red onion skin (Allium cepa L.) is often discarded as waste, despite being rich in flavonoids and alkaloids, which possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. This study aims to determine the flavonoid and alkaloid content of red onion skin extract using reflux and Soxhlet extraction methods with 96% ethanol as the solvent. The extraction was performed using reflux and Soxhlet techniques, followed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry to quantify flavonoid and alkaloid content. A quercetin standard curve was used to determine flavonoid levels, while a caffeine standard curve was applied for alkaloid content analysis. The Soxhlet method yielded a higher flavonoid content (108.21 mg/g or 10.82%) compared to the reflux method (105.55 mg/g or 10.55%). In contrast, the reflux method resulted in a higher alkaloid content (169.56 mg/g or 16.95%) than Soxhlet extraction (167.0 mg/g or 16.70%). These differences are attributed to the continuous solvent circulation in Soxhlet extraction, which enhances flavonoid solubility, while the lower temperature in the reflux method prevents alkaloid degradation. The findings suggest that Soxhlet extraction is more effective for flavonoid extraction, whereas reflux extraction is better for alkaloid extraction. Given their significant bioactive properties, red onion skin extracts have potential applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries. Future research should focus on optimizing extraction techniques and conducting toxicological and pharmacological studies to explore the therapeutic potential of red onion skin extract.

Abstract

The Girimanik Natural Forest Area (NFA) dominated by that has the potential to harbor high biodiversity, but research on this potential is still limited, especially on low-level plants such as epiphytic ferns. This study aims to ascertain the existence and variety of epiphytic ferns in the Girimanik Natural Forest Area (NFA). The data collection strategy employed was an exploratory approach utilizing the Systematic Line Sampling technique. The assessment of fern diversity in the Girimanik Natural Forest Area (NFA) revealed the presence of 18 species across 7 families: Lomariopsidaceae, Aspleniaceae, Polypodiaceae, Davalliaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, and Nephrolepidaceae. Epiphytic ferns inhabit the surfaces of host trees (phorophytes) and are characterized by rough and aged bark. Davallia denticulata and Davallia solida dominate the distribution of individual epiphytic ferns. Among the 18 species, two epiphytic ferns, Dryopteris arguta and Elaphoglossum blumeanum, are endangered, necessitating intensified conservation efforts to avert extinction. The findings of this study may serve as recommendations for stakeholders involved in conservation initiatives for epiphytic fern species, particularly those that are threatened.
