Abstract

Photosynthesis rate plays a significant role in plant growth and development. A study was conducted to determine the best methods to grow sago planting materials from sago suckers. Photosynthesis rate, stomatal density, intercellular CO2 concentration, stomatal conductance, transpiration, sugar and starch content of the sago leaves from different methods of planting was determined. The field experiment was carried out at the Cikabayan Experimental Station from January 2020 to February 2021; the leaf morphology was conducted at the Microtechnical Laboratory and Testing Laboratory of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University, Bogor, Indonesia. The treatments for the sago seedlings were immersion of the bare-rooted seedlings in water, immersion in water with media mix in polybags, transplanted to media mix in polybags, and immersion of bare-rooted seedlings for 4 weeks in water followed by transplanting to media mix in polybags. The study was arranged using a single factor a completely randomized block design, and quantitative data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2013 and the SAS. Stomatal density and photosynthetic rate were not significantly different between treatments. In contrast, the sugar content of immersed seedling without polybags for one month followed by transplanting to polybag had the best growth compared to those from other treatments, both at the nursery phase and post-transplanting phase. All planting methods resulted in good quality planting materials. At the nursery phase, sago seedlings immersed in water method grew the best; at the post-transplanting phases seedlings immersed bare-rooted for one month followed by transplanting to polybags grew better than those with other treatments

Abstract

Ground cherry (Physalis peruviana) seeds have a period of dormancy after ripening. A study was conducted to understand the mechanism of dormancy, the duration of after ripening persistence, and to determine the effective methods to break dormancy. The study was conducted in an experimental field at Ciwidey, West Java, Indonesia, and the Seed Testing Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, IPB University, in February to November 2020. The first study examined the effects of the storage temperatures, i.e. 20 ±2 oC and 25 ± 2oC, and the seed maturity stages, i.e. 49 days after anthesis (DAA), 58 DAA and 62 DAA. Several methods to break seed dormancy were tested, i.e. soaking seeds for 24 hours in distilled water, in 0.5% or 1% KNO3 and, 50 ppm GA3. The results showed that the seed dormancy was broken at 7 weeks after treatment, indicated by seed germination of >80%. The ABA levels of the seeds declined from week 0 to week 11, and the seed ABA and GA reached a balance from week 7 to week 11. Seeds treated with KNO3 or distilled water break dormancy after 8 weeks. The most effective treatment to break seed dormancy is the use of exogenous hormone GA3 at 50 ppm, with seed germination of >80% at week 5.

Abstract

Celery is an introduced species of family Apiaceae from the subtropical areas. Celery leaves and stalks contain vitamins, phenolic compounds, essential oils, and other nutrients that have been used in the foods, cosmetics, and herbal industries. Shading can create a better environment for varieties adapted to the highlands to succeed to grown in the lowlands. However, the changes in the growing environment including light and temperatures might affect the flavonoid production. This study aimed to determine the growth and production of flavonoids of the highland celery varieties in the lowlands when treated with various level of shades, i.e. without shade/control, 50% shade, and 70% shade. The study used “Aroma”, a celery variety adapted to the highland, and “Summer Green”, a variety adapted to the lowland. Increases in the shade levels decrease air temperature, increases air humidity, and significantly improved the growth and production of the three celery varieties in terms of plant height, leaflets number except for the “Aroma” variety; increased leaf area, stem diameter, tiller number, crown diameter, total wet weight, total dry weight, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, anthocyanins, plant N (Nitrogen), P (Phosphor), K (Potassium), and total flavonoids. “Amigo” exposed to 50% shade had significantly higher flavonoids than “Aroma”. Providing shades to “Summer Green” resulted in the lower levels of flavonoids compared to without shading.

Abstract

Rapeseed-mustard is an important oilseed species with high nutritional and economic values; it’s popularity increases due to its diverse uses. Ten genotypes of rapeseed-mustard and two sowing dates were evaluated in a split plot design with three replications. Our study demonstrated that sowing dates and genotypes greatly influenced the growth parameters, yield, and it contributing characters. BARI sarisha-16 had the highest yield (1613 kg.ha-1) whereas Binasarisha-9 yielded the lowest yield (840 kg.ha-1). All the yield contributing characters was superior in the earlier (10 November, S1) sowing date than the 24 November (S2), demonstrated by the highest grain yield (1120 kg.ha-1) which was 10 % higher than the seed sown on 24th November (S2) (1025 kg.ha-1), and better higher vegetative growth. These results affirmed that the yield contributing traits resulted the higher seed yield. In most of the studied characters, the higher phenotypic variances were observed than that of its genotypic variances. The significant positive correlation with grain yield were found in plant height, number of primary branches/plants, number of siliqua/plants, siliquae length, number of seed per siliquae, days of 50% flowering to maturity and 1000 seed weight. Therefore, based on the yield and the related traits, BARI sarisha-16 can be used for further utilization.

Abstract

Our study aims to determine the agronomic performances of the red chili pepper genotypes developed by the IPB University as compared to the existing commercial varieties. The study was conducted from June 2019 to April 2020 in the Leuwikopo and Tajur experimental fields, IPB University, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Leuwikopo and Tajur location differs in the soil type and environments. The experiments at Leuwikopo were conducted twice, once during the dry season, and once during the rainy season. The experiments were set up in a completely randomized block design with a single factor, i.e. sixteen red chili pepper lines, replicated three times in three different environments. The 11 lines evaluated were F8120005-141-16-35-1-3, F8120005-141-16-35-1-4, F8120005-141-16-35-7-1, F8120005-241-2-9-4- 4, F7120005-120-7-1-7-8-1-2, F6074-7-4-2-1, F4074136-2-3, F474077-1, F474035-2-1, F474035-2, F4136074-1-4; these lines were compared to five commercial chili varieties, “Laris”, “Gada” F1, “Kastilo” F1, “Anies IPB”, “Seloka IPB”. Measurements were conducted on time to harvest, fruit length, fruit diameter, weight per fruit, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight per plant, and productivity. The results showed that the curly and large red chili pepper genotypes had similar agronomic performances to the control curly variety “Laris” and “Kastilo” F1, and and “Anies IPB”, “Seloka IPB”, or “Gada” F1 as control variety for the large chili. Our study demonstrated that all large and curly red chili pepper lines developed in IPB University have excellent potentials to be commercialized into superior varieties.

Abstract

Abiu is a species introduced into Indonesia from the tropics of the Amazon and has been developing for several years. Information on the characteristics of the abiu plant are still limited compared to other introduced fruit species. This research aims to identify the characteristics of the abiu plants in two locations in the Bogor region, West Java, Indonesia. The research was conducted at Balumbang Jaya village, the sub-district of Dramaga, the village of Mekarsari, the sub district of Cileungsi, Bogor, West Java. Further observation was conducted at Post-harvest Laboratory and Micro Technic Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture IPB. The field study was conducted in January to July of 2018. This research was descriptive and no treatment was applied on the plant samples. Sampling was done randomly with as many as 15 plants at each location. Observations and measurements were conducted on the number of branches, leaves and flowers on 10 samples per plants. The results showed that there is morphological diversity of flowers and leaves at the two locations. The length, width, and weight of leaves and flowers in Balumbang Jaya were larger than those in Mekarsari. Different environments may contribute to the diversity of abiu leaves and flowers in the two locations.

Abstract

Priming is a physiological technique of hydration of seed to improve metabolic processes before germination to accelerate germination and seedling growth under normal and stress conditions. This research is aimed to study the pretreatment using ultra-fine bubble (UFB) water to increase viability and vigor of seeds before planting (pre-planting) and during storage (pre-storage). This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Seed Quality Testing, IPB University, Indonesia. The research consisted of two experiments, i.e., UFB water priming to increase viability and vigor of bean seeds and its storability after priming. The first experiment was arranged using a completely randomized design with a combination of seed lot treatments (L1: initial germination percentage (GP) about 80%, L2: initial GP around 70%, and L3: initial GP around 60%) with priming (P0: no priming/control, P1: soaked in distilled water for 60 minutes, P2: distilled water for 120 minutes, P3: 8 ppm UFB water for 60 minutes, P4: 8 ppm UFB water for 120 minutes, P5: 20 ppm UFB water for 60 minutes, P6: UFB water 20 ppm for 120 minutes). The second experiment was arranged using a nested design with the main factor being the condition of the storage room and priming as the second factor nested in the main factor. The storage room condition factors consisted of KM: room conditions (temperature 28±5˚C, RH 73±7%) and AC: air-conditioned room (18±2 ̊C, RH 61±7%). The priming factor consisted of two levels, namely P0: without priming and P1: priming with 20 ppm UFB water soaked for 120 minutes. The results showed that priming treatment with UFB water 20 ppm for 120 minutes as a pre-planting treatment can increase the viability of bean seeds, particularly for seeds with low initial viability, and primed bean seeds with an initial viability of approximately 80% were able to retain their viability for 16 weeks of storage in an air-conditioned room.

Abstract

Phytophthora colocasiae Raciborski, an Oomycete phytopathogen, has been known for several decades as the causal agent of the most infectious and devastating disease of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, known as taro leaf blight (TLB). Investigations were conducted in a screenhouse to determine the effects of fruit extracts of Citrus aurantifolia and Xylopia aethiopica on the incidence and severity of TLB. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Healthy taro seedlings obtained from the National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike, were planted in plastic pots (5000 cm3) containing sterilized soil enriched with poultry manure. The plant extracts were applied as foliar spray on taro leaves with manually operated hand sprayer at 7 weeks after planting and continued at four days intervals for a period of 28 days. Positive check was maintained with the fungicide Ridomil (a.i. mefenoxam) applied at the rate of 0.67 mg.ml-1 while zero concentration in distilled water served as negative control. Data were subjected to one-way analysis of variance and means were separated using F-LSD. Results showed very high reduction of disease with plant extracts (P < 0.05) and Ridomil compared to the control. Citrus aurantifolia juice was more efficient in reducing the incidence and severity of TLB compared to X. aethiopica extracts and was highly significant (P< 0.05). The overwhelmingly fungitoxic effects of C. aurantifolia and X. aethiopica extracts on P. colocasiae as expressed in the reduction of disease suggests that these extracts can serve as alternative bio-fungicide for the control of TLB. Hence, further studies under field conditions are required to reestablish their efficacy.

Abstract

Pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi Krap & Greg.) is a legume that is usually used as a cover crop, bio mulch in fruit and vegetable plantations, ornamental plants, and animal feed. Pinto peanut has many benefits; through the symbiosis with rhizobacteria they can fix nitrogen, as ground cover can reduce the risk of landslides, inhibit weed growths, and is a source of nectar for bees. Arahcnis pintoi can be propagated vegetatively or generatively, but generative propagation is hard to conduct in the tropics because it takes a long time for the plants to produce seeds. Our study was conducted to determine the effect of GA3 application on seed production of A. pintoi. The experiment was arranged in a single factor randomized complete block design with GA3 concentration of 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 ppm. An orthogonal polynomial test was conducted to determine the effective concentrations for GA3 on seed formation and seed viability. Harvested seeds were stored for 1 month, then sown on sand medium; the seeds were soaked in 1% KNO3 solution to break seed dormancy prior. Our study showed that the GA3 effective concentration range from 130.69 ppm to 137.16 ppm, indicated by the increase the number of flowers at 105, 120, 135, and 150 DAT up to 28.59% compared to control. GA3 at 126.80 ppm can also increase the number of harvested pods by 18.16%. The effect of GA3 on vegetative growth was shown by the increase in the growth of new individual plants concentration, i.e. 53.25 new individual plant with GA3 application of 141.88 ppm.

Abstract

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is a perennial species originating from sub-Saharan Africa. Cowpea has long been cultivated in Indonesia and is classified as a species tolerant of drought and acid soil. Cowpea shows its adaptation to acidic soil (pH = 4.83) by being able to produce 50% to 60% of the seed weight under optimum conditions. This enhances the potential of cowpea to be used and developed as one of the current food options. This research was carried out to optimise of cowpea productivity by studying the relationship between the source and sink of cowpea. This research was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021 at the Cikabayan experimental station, Bogor Agricultural University. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized block design. Four cowpea varieties were evaluated, “Albina”, “Arghavan”, and “Uno”. The measured parameters consisted of photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, plant growth rate, the net assimilation rate of the number of pods, pod weight, number of seeds per pod, dry seed weight, the weight of 100-seeds, and productivity. The cowpea varieties did not show significant differences in the rate of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, plant growth rate, and net assimilation rate. Photosynthesis rate in the three cowpea varieties ranged from 29.20 to 31.77 mol. m⁻².s⁻1 at 50% flowering, and from 17.01 to 19.79 mol.m⁻².s⁻1 at the first harvest. The three cowpea varieties in this study showed no differences in their source-sink capacity and productivity.
