Abstract

The presence of weeds in oil palm plantations can reduce fresh fruit bunch production by up to 80%. The applied weed control techniques affect subsequent weed composition. The purpose of this study was to assess the weed composition in oil palm plantations before and after mechanical and chemical weed control. The study was conducted on immature oil palm plantations (TBM) covering an area of approximately 1 ha. Weed vegetation analysis used the quadrat method with a sample plot size of 20 m2 and a sub-sample plot size of 1 m2. The number of sample plots was 9 with 18 sub-sample plots each in the dead stile and disc. The variables observed consisted of the number of weed species, the summed dominance ratio (SDR), and the level of weed distribution. The results showed a shift in the number of weed species before and after mechanical control in the dead stile and chemical control in the disc. There were 34 weed species in the dead stile before cutting and 30 weed species after cutting, while in the disc there were 15 weed species before herbicide application and 10 weed species after herbicide application. There was no shift in weed species with high SDR before and after cutting in the dead stile, while there was a shift in weed species before and after herbicide application in the disc. Weed species with high distribution levels in the dead stile were the same before and after cutting, while in the disc there was a shift in weed species before and after herbicide application. The weed vegetation community was relatively homogeneous before and after cutting and herbicide application.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of combining chicken manure fertilizer and NPK fertilizers on the growth and yield of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt) grown on Ultisol soil. The research was conducted in Pelawan Jaya Village, Sarolangun, Jambi, using a Randomized Block Design with eight combinations of chicken manure fertilizer doses (0–30 ton ha-1) and NPK (0–300 kg ha-1). Soil analysis showed that the Ultisol had acidic pH, low nitrogen and organic carbon content, high phosphorus, and low potassium levels. The chicken manure fertilizer used met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) with good macro-nutrient content. The combined application of chicken manure fertilizer and NPK significantly improved vegetative growth parameters (plant height, leaf number, leaf area, stem diameter) and sweet corn yield components (ear weight, diameter, and length) compared to no fertilization. The optimal dose was 10 ton ha-1 chicken manure fertilizer combined with 200 kg ha-1 NPK, which produced the best growth and yield. Excessive chicken manure fertilizer without NPK did not optimally increase yield. Using chicken manure fertilizer can reduce the use of NPK by up to 50%.

Abstract

Areca nut is a primadonna of Indonesian plantations, including Jambi. Before cultivating areca nut in the field, it is necessary to improve the planting medium, especially ultisol. This study was to test the application of kieserit on the growth of areca nut seedlings in polybags. The study was conducted on Pattimura Street, RT. 04, Simpang Rimbo Village, Alam Barajo District, Jambi City from April to June 2025. The materials used were 3-month-old areca nut seedlings, 3 kg polybags, nets, and NPK base fertilizer. The tools used included calipers, leaf color charts (LCC), cameras, meters, ovens, digital scales, and knives. The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with different kieserit dosage treatments, each treatment was repeated three times so that there were 12 plots. The parameters observed were plant height, stem diameter, dry weight of the shoot, dry weight of the root, shoot-root ratio, seedling quality index, total leaf area, leaf color, and soil chemical analysis. The observation data were analyzed for variance followed by the DNMRT test at the 5% α level. The results showed that the application of kieserite significantly affected stem diameter, but did not significantly affect the dry weight of the shoot, dry weight of the root, the shoot-root ratio, the seedling quality index, the total leaf area, the leaf color, and the plant height of the areca nut seedlings. Application of kieserite at a dose of k4 (0.56 g) in 3 kg of planting medium increased stem diameter growth by 32.66% compared to k0.

Abstract

Cultivating areca nut plants on ultisol soil requires organic and inorganic fertilizers addition to ensure optimal growth. This study aimed to determine the growth of areca nut seedlings using goat manure and NPK fertilizer in polybag of ultisol soil. This research was conducted at Jl. Sebapo, Mestong District, Muaro Jambi Regency, from September to December 2024. The materials used in this experiment were 3-month-old areca nut seedlings from Tri's nursery, ultisol soil, NPK 16:16:16 fertilizer, organic goat manure from Green Exotic Farm Tambak Sari, 4 kg polybags, and water. The tools used are vernier calipers, leaf color charts, hoes, meters/rulers, machetes, scales, stationery, buckets, measuring cups and ovens. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, namely a combination of goat manure and NPK fertilizer 16:16:16 with 6 levels, namely, k0: Without giving NPK fertilizer and goat manure k1: NPK fertilizer 10 g (100%), k2: Goat manure 30 g (100%), k3: Goat manure 22.5 g (75%) and NPK 2.5 g (25%), k4: Goat manure 15 g (50%) and NPK 5 g (50%), k5: Goat manure 7.5 g (25%) and NPK 7.5 g (75%). This experiment consisted of three replications, each with three sample plants. The application of goat manure and NPK fertilizer to ultisol soil significantly affected plant height, stem diameter, crown dry weight, and leaf color.However, it had no significant effect on the dry weight of the roots and the ratio of the root crown. The application of goat manure and NPK fertilizer in the k4 treatment (15 g goat manure and 5 g NPK/polybag) gave the highest average results in the parameters of plant height (67.54 cm) increased by 21%, stem diameter (16.52 mm) increased by 27% and dry weight of the crown (12.03 g) increased by 44% when compared to no treatment (k0).

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the ability of entomopathogenic fungi as biological agents in controlling Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith. The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Jambi. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on six types of fungi (Beauveria bassiana from four different sources, Lecanicillium lecanii, Metarhizium anisopliae, and Trichoderma harzianum) and controls for three stages of S. frugiperda (eggs, 3rd instar larvae, pupae) using the dip inoculation method. Efficacy tests were conducted on B. bassiana (Jatisari isolation) using the dip method, including variations in spore concentration (10⁶-10⁹ conidia/ml) and dual application (on eggs and larvae). The variables observed included the incubation period, infection symptoms, mortality, and survival of S. frugiperda at each stage. B. bassiana (Jatisari isolate) showed the highest efficacy on larvae (mortality up to 84% at a concentration of 10⁹ conidia/ml), increasing with increasing spore concentration and multiple applications. Although the effect on adults was not significant, the reduction in larval population showed the potential of B. bassiana as an effective biological agent for controlling S. frugiperda.

Abstract

Cinnamon is an important commodity in Indonesia. Cinnamon harvesting is destructive, requiring seedlings to replace harvested plants. Preparing quality seedlings is one effort to increase plant productivity. The study aims to obtain the right combination of NPK compound fertilizer with Bioneensis biofertilizer to support the growth of cinnamon seedlings. The study was conducted from May to August 2024. Field research was conducted at the Rice Seed Center in Jembatan Mas Village, Pemayung District, Batanghari Regency. Plant growth analysis was conducted at the Basic Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Batanghari University. Soil chemical analysis was conducted at the BSIP Laboratory. The study used a completely randomized environmental design and a treatment design in the form of a combination of NPK fertilizer with Bioneensis biofertilizer (k) as follows; k0: control, k1: 100% NPK, k2: 100% Bioneensis, k3: 75% NPK + 25% Bioneensis, k4: 50% NPK + 50% Bioneensis, k5: 25% NPK + 75% Bioneensis. The parameters observed were chemical and physical analysis of the soil, plant height, stem diameter, total dry weight, shoot root ratio, water content of the planting medium and seedling quality index. The soil analysis data were tabulated and the plant growth observation data were analyzed for variance and continued with the Duncan test at the α level of 5%. The results showed that the treatment did not change the soil fertility status except for phosphorus content. The treatment significantly affected the seedling growth parameters. The results showed that the k5 treatment (25% NPK fertilizer (dose 2.5 g) + 75% Bioneensis (dose 4.68 g)) increased seedling height by 31.18%; stem diameter by 22.50%; total dry weight by 91.68%; and quality index by 70%. The k5 treatment decreased the shoot root ratio by 20.09%. Bioneensis fertilizer can substitute NPK fertilizer by 75%.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effects of microclimate and management practices on the infestation level and population of the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei Ferr.) in Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica L.) plantations in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, Jambi Province. Three categories of plantations with different management levels were observed: well-managed, moderately managed, and unmanaged plantations. The analyzed microclimatic variables included canopy temperature, canopy humidity, light intensity, soil temperature, and soil moisture. In addition, plantation characteristics such as plant age, planting distance, pruning, fertilization, and the fresh and dry weight of weeds were examined to assess their relationship with pest infestation dynamics. The results showed that plantation management level had a significant effect on both infestation rate and population density of H. hampei. Well-managed plantations exhibited the lowest average infestation rate (10.92%), classified as light infestation, whereas unmanaged plantations had the highest rate (29.97%), categorized as moderate infestation. Similarly, the highest pest population was found in unmanaged plantations, with an average of 0.89 individuals per berry. Regression analysis revealed that canopy temperature was the only microclimatic variable significantly affecting H. hampei infestation (p < 0.05). Moreover, both fresh and dry weed biomass showed a significant positive correlation with pest population, indicating that unmanaged weeds may increase micro-humidity favorable for pest development. This study concludes that good plantation management—particularly pruning, weed control, and fertilization—can significantly reduce the population and infestation levels of H. hampei. These findings are expected to serve as a scientific basis for recommending more effective and sustainable pest management strategies in Liberica coffee plantations.

Abstract

The deterioration process in seeds cannot be prevented. One effort to reduce the rate of deterioration is to optimize storage conditions and the appropriate storage period. Optimal storage conditions and the appropriate storage period can maintain seed quality during storage and growth after storage. The study aimed to obtain data on the rate of seed deterioration and growth of citronella plants after storage. The study was conducted from April to August 2025 in the basic laboratory and experimental garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Batanghari University. The study used a completely randomized design with one factor. The treatment design was the storage duration (h, days) of citronella seeds as follows: h0 = not stored, h1 = 4, h2 = 8, h3 = 12, and h4 = 16 days. Each treatment was repeated 3 times, resulting in 15 experimental plots. Each experimental plot contained 10 seeds, resulting in 150 citronella plant seeds. Observations during storage were the percentage of fresh seeds and the percentage of growing seeds. Observations after storage were plant height, rate of emergence of tillers, number of tillers, clump circumference, fresh weight of herb, and fresh weight of roots. The observation data were analyzed using analysis of variance. If there was a significant effect, it was continued with Duncan's Advanced Test at α level of 5%. Based on the research and data analysis, it can be concluded that the treatment of the duration of storage of citronella seeds had a significant effect on clump circumference, but had no significant effect on plant height, rate of emergence of tillers, number of tillers, fresh weight of herb and fresh weight of roots. The longer the citronella seeds were stored, the growth rate tended to decrease. This is caused by a decrease in seed viability due to the aging process, dehydration, or physiological damage during storage.

Abstract

Edamame is a vegetable commodity whose export demand is currently increasing, while its productivity is still below its potential yield. Therefore, to meet export needs, it is necessary to increase productivity by applying boiler ash, which can improve soil fertility and increase the availability of nutrients in the soil. Research aimed at increasing the growth and yield of edamame by applying various doses of boiler ash was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Jambi University, at an altitude of 35 meters above sea level. The research used a one-factor Randomized Block Design (RBD) with various doses of boiler ash, consisting of 0 tonha-1; 5 tonha-1; 10 tonha-1; 15 tonha-1; and 20 tonha-1. Each treatment was replicated 5 times. The research results showed that the application of boiler ash was able to increase plant height, the number of young pods per plant, the weight of young pods per plant, the weight of 100 young pods per plant, and edamame production per hectare. A boiler ash dose of 20 tonha-1 resulted in the highest edamame growth and yield.
