Abstract

The oil palm empty fruit bunches are solid waste produced from the processing of oil palms which have a large amount of potential to be used as compost and are expected to improve the physical, biological and chemical properties of the subsoil. This study aimed to evaluate the best combination between oil palm empty fruit bunches compost and rice husk charcoal on soil chemical properties in tomato. This research was conducted in Sona Village, Labuhanbatu Regency on December 2019-March 2020. Analysis of soil chemical properties was conducted at the Socfindo Seed Production and Laboratories (SSPL) Laboratory of PT. Socfin Indonesia. The study was conducted with a factorial randomized block design with 2 factors. The first factor was the application of oil palm empty bunches which consists of no oil palm empty bunches (control), 0.5 kg/polybag, 0.7 kg/polybag and 1 kg/polybag. The second factor was the application of rice husk charcoal which consists of non-husk charcoal (control), consisting of 0.2 kg/polybag and 0.4 kg/polybag. Data that had a significant effect after analysis of variance continued with DMRT at the level of α = 5%. The results showed that application of oil palm empty fruit bunches (0.7 kg/polybag) significantly increased pH and C-organic. Application of rice husk charcoal (0.2 kg/polybag) significantly increased C-organic and P-available.

Abstract

Excessive nitrogen fertilization and improper management can cause a decrease in NUE in the maize cropping system. Most nitrogen fertilizers are applied when the corn is 4-5 weeks after planting. However, recent studies have shown that modern hybrids take up high amounts of nitrogen at the flowering stage. This suggests that a nitrogen fertilization strategy that starts at the beginning of vegetative growth and later in the flowering phase is needed to maximize the yield of hybrid maize in upland. The study was conducted in 2018-2019 in Liban, Jawi, and Toke Kutaye Districts in the West Showa Zone of the Central Highlands of Ethiopia. The research design used a randomized block design with the one-time treatment of fertilizer application consisting of six levels, namely 1/3 at planting + 1/3 at 4-5 weeks after an emergency (WAE) + 1/3 at 70-80 days after planting (DAP ); 1/3 part at planting + 2/3 part at 4-5 WAE; 2/3 share at 4-5 WAE + 1/3 at 70-80 DAP; 1/4 at planting + 1/2 at 4-5 WAE + 1/4 at 70-80 DAP; 1/2 at 4-5 WAE + 1/2 at 70-80 DAP; and full at 4-5 WAE). Nitrogen fertilization on2/3part at 4-5 WAE + 1/3 part at 70-80 DAP significantly affected plant height, cob length, grain yield, and biomass yield, but it did not influence root and stem lodging. When the data were combined over the two years, the treatment of 2/3part N application at 4-5 WAE (knee height) + 1/3 part at 70-80 DAP (before tasseling) resulted in the highest grain yield with a yield advantage of 1,598 kg/ha and gave maximum net benefit over the typically used full application at 4-5 WAE (knee height). This fertilizer management strategy could be advised for the Liban Jawi, Toke Kutaye areas, and other similar agro-ecosystem environments.

Abstract

The success of durian pollination in nature is very low (<5%) due to high self-incompatibility in durian flowers. Artificial cross-pollination is an alternative method that can be used to increase the successful pollination of durian. So, information on the pollen viability of the durian flower and the time of artificial cross-pollination accurate and effective is required. This research aimed to examine the pollen viability of the durian varieties of Montong and Sitokong varieties at three different times and to determine the success rate of artificial cross-pollination between both varieties at three different times. This research was carried out at the Morpoyan Seed Center and the Genetic and Breeding Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, UIN Suska Riau. Pollen viability testing used the staining method. Artificial cross-pollination between the Montong durian and the Sitokong durian was carried out reciprocally at three different times (11.00–13.00, 15.00–17.00, and 19.00–21.00). The total number of flowers crossed was 300. The results of this study showed that the percentage of pollen viability of Montong durian at 11.00–13.00, 15.00–17.00, and 19.00–21.00 was 94.91, 97.67, and 97.23%, respectively. While the pollen viability of Sitokong durian was 93.33% at 11.00–13.00, 94.45% at 15.00–17.00, and 94.76% at 19.00–21.00. The successful rate of crosses of durian Montong (♀) x Sitokong (♂) at 11.00–13.00, 15.00–17.00, and 19.00–21.00, respectively were 46, 26, and 34%, while the percentage of success of durian Sitokong crosses (♀) x Montong (♂) is 48% at 11.00–13.00, 54% at 15.00–17.00, and 22% at 19.00–21.00. Successful artificial cross-pollination between Montong and Sitokong durian or vice versa was higher at 11.00–13.00 compared to other times. The results of this study can be utilized to formulate the timing of artificial cross-pollination of durian in the future.

Abstract

The productivity of red ginger in Indonesia has decreased by 9,174 tons compared to 2017. The decrease is due to the very limited area of red ginger production, the method of red ginger cultivation, which is still very conventional, and the low amount of organic matter in the soil. This study examines the effect of planting media composition on the growth and production of red ginger. The study used a Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments, namely control (soil without manure), cow manure: green manure: soil (1:1:1), P2 = goat manure: green manure: soil (1:1:1), green manure: soil (1:2), cow manure: soil (1:2), and goat manure: soil (1:2) and repeated four times. Composition media of goat manure: green fertilizer: soil with a ratio of 1:1:1 could increase the growth of red ginger in variable plant height, number of leaves in the clump, leaf area, and the weight of fresh stover with a yield of 52.7 cm; 10,75; 148,5; 2952.59 cm2; and 307.33 g. Composition of green fertilizer media: soil with a ratio of 1:2 could increase the weight of dry stover with a value of 39.32 g, and red ginger production includes fresh weight of rhizomes 111.32 g, storage weight of rhizomes 107.87 g, and rhizome volume 124.12 cm3.

Abstract

Oyster mushroom baglog waste that is not used properly will cause problems such as environmental pollution, and can also be a source of pollution for cultivated oyster mushrooms. Composting is an alternative to the management of oyster mushroom baglog waste. However, the compost must also be of good quality, the quality of the compost can be determined both by the physical and chemical properties of compost. Given the importance of compost quality, compost must refer to the standard criteria that have been determined. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the physical quality (temperature, aroma, and color) and chemical (pH, organic C, total N, ratio C/N, total P, and total K) compost of oyster mushroom baglog waste based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 19-7030-2004, corn seed germination, and rice root growth on acid sulfate soil applied to oyster mushroom baglog waste compost. The results showed that the compost of oyster mushroom baglog waste had complied with the SNI, where the parameters of the compost had met SNI, namely: temperature 33 oC, blackish-brown color, smell like soil, organic C 14.38%, N 0.74%, ratio C/N 19.43, P 0.50%, K 0.35%, and the percentage of germination of corn seeds of Exsotic Pertiwi Varieties was 97% of germinated seeds. The application of oyster mushroom baglog waste compost at a dose of 20 ton.ha-1 was able to increase the root length of rice in acid sulfate soils.

Abstract

Chili consumption in Indonesia has increased. Efforts to increase chili production need fertilization through roots and leaf fertilization. The research aimed to obtain optimum intervals of NPK (nitrogen, phosphor, potassium) fertilization and kinds of foliar fertilizer for the growth and yield of chili. The research was conducted from April to August 2020 in Gayam Village, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. This study used an experiential method with a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) of 2 factors. The first factor was an interval of NPK fertilization (16-16-16) with a concentration of 25 g.L-1 with a dose of 240 mL.plant-1. The interval of NPK fertilization consists of 4 levels, NPK fertilizer which was applied every 5, 10, 15, and 21 days. The second factor was foliar fertilizer which consists of A foliar fertilizer, B foliar fertilizer, and C foliar fertilizer. The results showed that the interval of NPK fertilizer affected the number of dichotomous branches, dry stove weight, cumulative fruit, cumulative fruit weight, and fruit length at 1st harvest. NPK fertilization every 15 days increased the dichotomous branches by 23.16%, dry stove weight by 37.98%, cumulative fruits by 37.41%, and cumulative fruit weight by 41.46%. B foliar fertilizer and A foliar fertilizer gave the same performance in dichotomous branches. There was no interaction effect between the interval of NPK fertilization and the kind of foliar fertilizer on all growth and yield variables. NPK fertilization optimum intervals as supplementary fertilizers should be given every 15 days. This research can be used as a reference for farmers in fertilizing chilies.

Abstract

Soil-borne soil pathogens are pathogens that inhabit the soil and can survive for years in the soil, making them very difficult to control. Control with pesticides and fungicides harms the ecosystem, so other controls are needed such as soil solarization. This study aims to determine the growth response of soil-borne pathogens and soil microbial populations to soil solarization treatment. The study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments consisting of solarization on soil media, solarization on soil and compost media, without solarization on soil media, and without solarization on soil media and compost on plastic trays. Each treatment was repeated 4 times. The soil-borne pathogens used were Sclerotium rolfsii and Rigidoporus lignisus. Each pathogen was planted in each planting medium with a depth of 5 and 10 cm. Then each tray is covered with 0.1 mm thick transparent plastic. Then given solarization treatment for four weeks. At the end of the observation, sclerotia and R. lignosus were grown on PDA media to be tested for pathogen survival and the solarization efficacy against pathogen growth was calculated. Soil samples from each treatment were also taken to calculate the soil microbial population. The results showed that soil solarization was able to suppress the growth of R. lignosus by 80-100% and S. rolfsii by 100%. Meanwhile, the microbes found in the soil solarization treatment consisted of groups of bacteria and fungi, respectively 7.67×104–1.90×107 CFU.mL-1 and 1.00×104–5.82×105 CFU.mL-1.
