Abstract

Ngrogung is one of the sand mining areas in Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia. Post-mining, this area often remains underutilized. One potential application for this former sand mining land could be the cultivation of durian plants. The research aims to determine land characteristics and evaluate the level of land suitability for Durian cultivation. The research was conducted using survey methods. Determining the research location was carried out purposively based on conditions in the field. The study area is 20 hectares, which is an ex-sand mining area. Determination of representative samples was carried out in a zigzag manner to obtain a representative sample. Soil samples were taken to a depth of 100 cm, representing the root area of the durian plant. Sample analysis was carried out using the method issued by the Land Resources Center, and the results obtained were analyzed using matching methods based on FAO criteria. The results showed that the actual land suitability of the ex-sand mining in Ngrogung Village is S3nr-2 covering an area of 10 hectares with alkaline saturation limiting factor, S3nr-4; eh-2 with C-organic and erosion hazard limiting factor 6 hectares, S3nr-4; rc-2 with C organic and crude material limiting factor 4 hectares. The potential suitability of ex-sand mining land based on FAO criteria can be categorized as S2 (quite suitable), so it requires technological input such as adding organic matter, making terraces, and planting according to contours.

Abstract

Coffee cultivation is inseparable from the threat of pests and diseases. This problem became a polemic that until now has yet to be resolved properly. Chemical control using pesticides that farmers have carried out makes pests more resistant. Pest control on coffee plants can utilize insects that act as predators, like the ground beetle. This research was conducted at the Experimental Garden of the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute, the Agrotechnology Laboratory, and The Laboratory for Pest and Plant Disease Protection at the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Center from October 2022 to February 2023. Sampling was done by purposive sampling using the pitfall trap method. The results are then calculated in the importance value index, diversity index, dominance, and evenness. Researchers also analyzed the relationship between vegetation at the study site and the diversity of ground beetles found by vegetation types present at the study site and calculated the value of each ecological index including diversity, dominance, evenness, and importance value indexes. Kaliwining experimental garden, the acquisition of ground-level arthropods obtained a high score with a diversity level of 1.333, and for the Wirolegi experimental garden 0.975.

Abstract

Black soybeans in Indonesia have high economic value due to their potential for processing into various products and their health benefits. The high utilization of black soybean is supported by its rich nutritional content, particularly the protein levels in its seeds. There is a gap between the demand for and availability of black soybeans in Indonesia. Effective measures are needed to increase black soybean yields. One approach is to enhance the efficiency of organic fertilizer use by applying rice straw biochar as a soil amendment and Rhizobium as a biofertilizer to improve the growth and yield of black soybeans. This study was conducted using a two-factor experimental design with doses of rice straw biochar (0, 10 t.ha-¹, and 15 t.ha-¹) and doses of Rhizobium (0, 5 g.kg-¹ seed, 10 g.kg-¹ seed, and 15 g.kg-¹ seed). An interaction was observed between the application of 10 t.ha-¹ of biochar and 5 g.kg-¹ of Rhizobium, which significantly affected the yield of black soybean, including the number of filled pods per plant, seed weight per plant, harvest yield per hectare, and total seed protein content.

Abstract

Natural enemies play an important role in the rice field ecosystem in achieving pest population balance. The jajar legowo planting system is a planting system that provides empty space for rows of plants that are thought to affect the types and population dynamics of natural enemies. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of applying the jajar legowo cropping system to the types and populations of natural enemies of rice pests. The research was conducted from April-June 2022 in Karanglo Village, Polanharjo, Klaten and the Laboratory of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sebelas Maret. The research was carried out in rice fields with conventional spacing systems (tegel) and jajar legowo 2:1. The variables observed were the type and population of predators and parasitoids along with the degree of parasitization of the rice pests. The results showed that the types of predators found in conventional land and Jajar Legowo were not different. The application of the jajar legowo cropping system increased the population of Paederus and Tetragnatha spider.

Abstract

Rice is Indonesia’s first staple food crop, planted throughout the year in irrigated rice fields. Finding an efficient method of producing rice seedlings outside the paddy fields is necessary. This research aims to determine the optimal shelf levels in open fields to support seedling rice growth and chlorophyll content and identify suitable lighting alternatives to light-emitting diode (LED) growth lights for supporting indoor seedling rice growth. This study used thirteen treatment variations, each repeated five times in a Randomized Block Design. The observational data were analyzed utilizing ANOVA, standard deviation, correlation, and the Honesty Significant Differences (HSD) test at a 5% significance level. The study's results were in the open field. The seedlings on the third level of shelves received the highest intensity of sunlight so that the chlorophyll content, seedling height, and number of leaves were relatively higher than those on the second and first level shelves. In greenhouse cultivation, the substitution for LED grows light until 150 Watts between 12 and 14 hours, causing low light intensity, chlorophyll levels, seedling height, and fewer leaves than in open fields.

Abstract

The whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) pest is one of the obstacles in soybean cultivation; it can reduce yields by up to 80%, even resulting in crop failure if not controlled. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of the bioinsecticide Beauveria bassiana on whitefly death and the effect of B. bassiana and soursop leaf pesticides on pests, growth, and production in organic soybeans. The design used was non-factorial RAL with six treatment levels and four replications to determine the value of mortality and a comparison method between the treatments of B. bassiana and soursop leaf pesticide. The effective concentration of B. bassiana against whiteflies was 10%, with 85% mortality. The application of B. bassiana and soursop leaf pesticides showed no significant effect in suppressing attack and pest populations but also had no significant effect in increasing the growth and production of soybean plants on the observation variables of plant height, number of pods per sample, weight of 100 seeds, and total production, and the use of B. bassiana is not harmful to the survival of beneficial predators. The effective concentration of B. bassiana against whiteflies is 10%, with 85% mortality. The results of a comparison of B. bassiana with soursop leaf pesticides showed results that showed no different effect on all variables of pests as well as soybean growth and production. B. bassiana has potential as a biological agent for pest control because it is relatively safe against non-target insects such as natural enemies and beneficial arthropods.

Abstract

Using manure in the form of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) influences the heavy metal levels absorbed by plants, which can affect both plant quality and human health. This research aims to assess the impact of LOF on soil pH, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, lead levels, and the fruit yield of tomatoes. A factorial completely randomized design (CRD) was employed, with the first factor being three types of LOF from chicken, goat, and cow manure and the second factor being three doses of LOF: 5, 10, and 15 mL. The study utilized tomato plants grown in latosol soil. Results indicated that the application of LOF from the three manure types affected soil nitrogen, soil lead, and tomato yield. The addition of LOF also influenced lead content and tomato production. However, the use of chicken manure is not recommended due to high lead accumulation in soil and plants. The optimal LOF dose was found to be 5-10 mL, which maintained lead levels within safe limits. The best tomato fruit yield was achieved with 5 mL of goat manure LOF, resulting in low metal accumulation.

Abstract

Iron (Fe) is an essential metal whose presence in excess can pollute the environment, cause toxic effects on plants, and degrade soil quality. Efforts have been made to overcome this by remediation using secondary metabolites of Trichoderma harzianum T10. This study aimed to determine the potency and appropriate concentration of T. harzianum T10 secondary metabolites as a remediator for Fe-contaminated soil and its effect on the growth and yield of spinach grown on remediated soil. The research was conducted at the Screen House, Soil Laboratory, and Plant Protection Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman for four months. A randomized block design was used with treatment consisting of control and secondary metabolites application of T. harzianum T10 concentrations of 25, 50, 75, and 100%, repeated five times. The secondary metabolites were applied in the afternoon by pouring it on the soil in polybags and letting it stand for 10 days in tightly closed conditions. The variables observed were Fe content in the soil, plant height, number of leaves, shoot fresh weight, fresh root weight, and root length of spinach plants. The results showed that the secondary metabolites of T. harzianum T10 have the potential to remediate iron-congested soil. The content of Fe in the soil is 823 ppm. The appropriate concentration of T. harzianum T10 secondary metabolites as a remediator for Fe-contaminated soil is 50%, which can reduce the content of Fe (iron) by 46% compared to controls. The application of T. harzianum T10 secondary metabolites has not affected the growth and yield of spinach, which was grown on remediated soil, although there is a tendency to be better.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the most effective combination of seed treatments and fungicide applications to control downy mildew on corn seeds. It also evaluated the efficacy of various fungicides in suppressing the spread of downy mildew. The research was conducted from October 2021 to January 2022 in Banggle Village, Kanigoro District, Blitar Regency, Central Java Province. The methodology employed a randomized complete block design, with treatment factors including seed treatment and fungicide spraying. Four treatment packages were utilized: one control group with no seed treatment or fungicide application and three others as comparators. Each treatment was replicated four times. The active ingredients used for seed treatment and field spraying included Dimethomorph, Pyraclostrobin, Oxathiapiprolin, and Fenamidone. The results indicated that downy mildew on corn emerged during the fourth week after planting. Corn treated with the fungicide packages exhibited significantly better outcomes compared to the control group. The most effective treatment package involved seed treatment with Dimethomorph and Pyraclostrobin, followed by spraying with Dimethomorph on the seventh day after planting, Oxathiapiprolin on the fourteenth day, and Dimethomorph once again on the twenty-first day after planting. This combination achieved the highest efficacy index of 70.67%.

Abstract

Inceptisol soil has an acidic pH, low organic content, and low P elements. Biochar and other types of fertilizers are needed to improve soil fertility. This research was conducted to determine the effect of the best dose of biochar and the kind of fertilizer on rice plants' growth and P uptake. There were 16 treatments with 3 repetitions. The dosage of rice husk biochar consists of doses of 0 t.ha-1 (B0), 5 t.ha-1 (B1), 10 t.ha-1 (B2), and 20 t.ha-1 (B3). Types of fertilizer consist of 0 t.ha-1 (P0), 4 t.ha-1 manure (P1), 50% urea + 50% NPK fertilizer + 2 t.ha-1 manure (P2), and 100% urea + 100% NPK fertilizer (P3). Parameters observed were available P, P tissue, P uptake, plant height, number of tillers, and dry weight brazier. Data analysis was performed with the ANOVA, DMRT, and Correlation tests. The result showed the dosage of rice husk biochar and the type of fertilizer affected the yield of rice plant height, number of rice tillers, stover dry weight, and P uptake. P3 treatment produced the highest plant height, which was 104,68 cm. The B3 and P3 treatments produced the highest of rice tillers. The B3P3 interaction treatment resulted in the highest root tissue absorption of 1,93 g.clamp-1 and 3,49. clamp-1 in the mature.
