Abstract

The demand for onion in Indonesia has been on the rise. However, domestic production to date has not been able to meet all the needs of the people in Indonesia. This research aims to obtain the best type and dose of manure for the growth and production of shallots on coastal land. The design used in this research was a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 2 factors. The first factor is the type of manure which consists of 3 levels, namely: chicken manure, goat manure, and cow manure. The second factor is the dose of manure which consists of 4 levels, namely: 5, 10, 15, and 20 tons ha-1 . A total of 12 treatment combinations were derived from the two factors, each repeated 3 times to create 36  experimental units. The results showed that the interaction between several types and doses of manure had a significant effect on the variables of plant height and number of leaves at 2 WAP, 3 WAP, 4 WAP, 5 WAP, and 6 WAP. The optimum dose of manure was 20 tons ha-1 resulting in the highest average variable weight per plot of 142 g. The application of different types and dosages of manure did not significantly impact plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers, fresh weight of plants, fresh weight of tubers per hill, or weight per tuber.

Abstract

The study addresses the constraints of Ultisols and underscores the need for vermicompost fertilizer application. The primary objective is to assess whether augmenting the quantity of vermicompost fertilizer enhances potassium (K) levels in leaves and subsequently boosts corn yields. The research spanned from June to December 2022 in Sri Kuncoro Village, Pondok Kelapa District, Central Bengkulu Regency. Employing a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 5 treatment levels and 5 replications resulted in 25 plots, encompassing doses of 0, 7.5, 13, 22.5, and 30 tons per hectare. Upon analyzing the data, it is evident that applying vermicompost fertilizer at a rate of 30 tons per hectare leads to a 1.4093% increase in leaf K levels, a K uptake of 3.2035 g tons-1, and a dry stover weight of 232.351 g tons-1. However, there is no  significant evidence indicating an increase in root dry weight, shoot dry weight, cob weight without husk, and dry shell weight

Abstract

Soybeans (Glycine max (L). Merrill.) are an important source of protein in Indonesia whose supply is still very low. One of the causes is low soil fertility so it needs to be fertilized. Continuous fertilization using inorganic fertilizers turns out to have a sustainable effect, namely increasing soil damage, so it needs to be made more efficient with biological fertilizers. The research aims to determine the response of soybean plants to the application of biological fertilizer as an efficient use of inorganics. The research was carried out in Lengkong Poncol Village RT/RW 001/011 Wetan, Serpong District, South Tangerang at an altitude of ± 25 m above sea level from January 2020 to April 2020. The research used a randomized complete group design (RKLT) with five treatments, as follows: NPK 100%, NPK 75% + Biofertilizer 100 ml, NPK 50% + Biofertilizer 100 ml, NPK 25% + Biofertilizer 100 ml, and Biofertilizer 100 ml. Observations were made on plant growth and soil analysis. The results of the research showed that the use of biological fertilizer to make the use of NPK fertilizer more efficient did not have a real effect on plant growth. It can be seen that the use of biological fertilizer by making NPK fertilizer more efficient gave the same results as using 100% NPK fertilizer and using 75% NPK fertilizer + fertilizer. biological 100 ml/plant affects plant height, pH value, and soil nitrogen content.

Abstract

Ultisols are widespread in the Indonesian archipelago and have potential for developing the agricultural sector. However, Ultisols have several problems, such as low organic matter content, poor soil structure, unstable soil aggregates, high soil bulk density, and low total soil pore space. These problems result in slow soil infiltration and permeability, which can interfere with plant growth. This study aimed to determine the best dose of tithonia compost to improve certain soil physical properties and increase the yield of green mustard in Ultisols. The study was conducted from March to May 2024 at the Greenhouse of the Department of Crop Production, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments of tithonia compost doses with 3 replications. The treatments were 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 ton ha-1. After mustard harvesting, undisturbed soil sample was collected from each polybag and analyzed for soil moisture, bulk density, and soil permeability. Fresh and dry weight of mustard were also measured after harvesting. The results showed that the highest improvement of selected soil physical properties was soil fertilized with tithonia compost at the rate of 15 ton ha-1, as shown in the decrease of bulk density and increase in soil moisture content, total pore space, and soil permeability. The application of tithonia compost at 5 ton ha-1 was adequate for the improvement of selected soil physical properties and nutrient release to the soil for green mustard cultivation. The findings of the study will benefit to crop management, especially mustard yield using tithonia compost in Ultisols.

Abstract

Cucumber is a popular vegetable that can be consumed fresh or processed into pickles, preserves, and other products. Efforts to enhance cucumber yield have been made through the application of Azolla compost and inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilizer. This study aimed to evaluate the interaction between different doses of Azolla compost and inorganic N fertilizer on cucumber growth and yield, as well as to determine the optimal doses of both fertilizers. The experiment was conducted from December 2021 to February 2022 in Medan Baru, Muara Bangkahulu District, Bengkulu City. A factorial randomized complete block design was employed with two factors: (1) Azolla compost doses (0 g plant-1, 90 g plant-1, 180 g plant-1, and 270 g plant-1) and (2) inorganic N fertilizer doses (0 g plant-1, 0.9 g plant-1, 1.7 g plant-1, and 2.5 g plant-1), resulting in 16 treatment combinations, each replicated three times. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test for significant variables. Results indicated that there were no significant interaction effects between Azolla compost and inorganic N fertilizer on cucumber growth and yield. The 180 g plant-1 dose of Azolla compost produced the best results in terms of vine length, leaf number, fruit weight per plant, and plant dry weight. However, inorganic N fertilizer had no significant effect on cucumber growth and yield. Further research is needed to explore the effects of inorganic N fertilizer and the potential of Azolla as an environmentally friendly organic fertilizer in sustainable agricultural systems.

Abstract

Utilizing marginal land, such as coastal areas, offers a viable approach to increasing soybean production. However, coastal lands are often characterized by low nutrient content and high porosity, necessitating effective strategies to optimize crop growth and yield. This study aimed to examine the interaction between urea application frequency and coffee husk compost dosage, identifying the best combination for enhancing soybean performance on coastal land. The research was conducted from November 2023 to February 2024 in Bengkulu City, Indonesia, at an elevation of approximately 5 meters above sea level. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was employed with two factors: coffee husk compost dosage (0, 10, 20, and 30 tons ha-1) and urea application frequency (0,1,2,and 3 times,at 100 kg ha-1). Results revealed a significant interaction between compost dosage and urea frequency, influencing several growth parameters, including plant height, pod number per plant, fresh and dry shoot weight, fresh and dry root weight, and seed weight per plant. Compost doses of 20 and 30 tons ha-1, along with 2 or 3 applications of urea, notably increased leaf number, productive branch number, and seed yield per plant. These findings indicate that optimizing both urea application frequency and coffee husk compost dosage can significantly improve soybean productivity on nutrient-poor coastal soils. This highlights the importance of integrated nutrient management for enhancing crop yield in marginal environments.

Abstract

The narrow land ownership status among farmers poses challenges for agricultural production, despite the increasing demand for agricultural products in both quantity and variety. To address this issue, intercropping—a planting system that involves cultivating multiple crop types simultaneously—has been employed. This system enhances land productivity, reduces farming risks, and ensures income sustainability for farmers. Corn and black soybeans are ideal crops for intercropping due to their mutually beneficial interactions. Key factors influencing the success of this system include the frequency of weeding and the application of cow dung fertilizer. This study aimed to identify the optimal dose of cow dung fertilizer and weeding frequency to achieve the highest crop yield and land use efficiency in a corn-black soybean intercropping system. Conducted from February to May 2021 in Pematang Gubernur Village, Bengkulu City, the experiment employed a Split Plot Design within a Complete Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with two factors and three replications. The main plot consisted of three weeding frequencies: no weeding, weeding once (2 WAP), and weeding twice (2 and 5 WAP). Subplots included cow dung fertilizer doses: 0, 5, 10, and 15 tons ha-1. Results indicated the highest sunlight utilization efficiency occurred with 2x weeding and 5–10 tons ha-1 of cow dung fertilizer. Land use efficiency (LER > 1) was achieved under these conditions, while black soybean generally exhibited lower light efficiency. These findings highlight the importance of proper weeding and fertilization practices to optimize land use, providing valuable insights for sustainable farming strategies in regions with limited arable land.

Abstract

Soil, water, and crops are interdependent components of agricultural systems, and understanding their characteristics and interactions is critical for effective agricultural management. This study investigates the relationship between soil water-holding capacity and varying land slope gradients. The research was conducted on a community oil palm plantation in Talang Tengah I Village, Pondok Kubang District, Central Bengkulu Regency. A purposive sampling method was applied at five slope categories: flat (0–8%), sloping (8–15%), moderately steep (15–25%), steep (25–45%), and very steep (45–100%). Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with WarpPLS 7.0 software. The findings demonstrate a significant influence of slope on soil water-holding capacity. Increasing slope gradients are associated with reduced soil permeability, increased bulk density, decreased total pore space, and lower soil organic carbon content, collectively leading to diminished water-holding capacity. The developed model accurately represents the relationships between variables, indicating that slope directly affects organic matter, sand content, and permeability, while bulk density impacts total pore space and permeability, which in turn influence water-holding capacity. The results emphasize the importance of considering land slope in soil and water management strategies to optimize agricultural productivity. Future applications of this model could guide sustainable land-use planning and inform erosion control measures to maintain soil quality and water availability in sloped agricultural landscapes

Abstract

Food crop commodities play an important role in meeting food needs in Indonesia, along with the increasing population. In addition, crop yields also play an important role in spurring economic growth, as a source of foreign exchange, and a source of life for most of Indonesia's population. Rice productivity in rice field areas is currently still decreasing, therefore appropriate technology is needed to increase productivity. One of the efforts made is by using superior varieties (Inpari) that are in accordance with agro-ecosystem conditions or specific locations. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of growth and yield of rice varieties on various doses of NPK fertilizer in rice field. This research was conducted in Sentono Village, Kalasan District, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia in March–July 2019. The experimental design used was Split Plot with NPK fertilizer doses (200 and 300 kg ha−1) as the main plot and rice varieties (Inpari 6, Inpari 30, Inpari 32, Inpari 43, and Inpari 33) as subplots, and with 3 replications. The results showed no interaction between fertilizer doses and rice varieties. Inpari 42 with NPK fertilizer 300 kg ha−1 increased plant height, number of tillers productive, panicle length, number of filled grain/panicle, grain weight/clump, and production of dry grain. The highest production of dry grain was Inpari 42 (6.56 ton ha−1), while the lowest production of dry grain was Inpari 30 with NPK fertilizer 200 kg ha−1 (4.35 ton ha−1). These findings highlight the potential of specific variety-fertilizer combinations to optimize rice productivity and provide valuable insights for sustainable rice cultivation in Indonesia.
