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.

Abstract

The aim of the research was to obtain the most precise pattern of development of bacterial disease (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria) and determine the relationship between the intensity of bacterial spot disease and yield loss of tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.). The research was carried out in Solok Regency at an altitude of 388 m above sea level from June to December 2022. To determine the most appropriate pattern of disease development, two mathematical models were tested: Logistic and Gompertz’s models, which were corrected by Campbell and Madden as well as Neher and Campbell. The yield loss estimation method uses a single disease forecasting system with a single critical time type. The disease was measured at several plant ages according to the growth phase from the base point of 0 DAP, then at ages 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, and 71 days after planting. Variation in disease severity was created by inoculating plants through several inoculum densities. The results showed that the development of Xcv disease follows Gompertz’s model, and the critical time to determine the relationship between disease intensity and yield loss follows the rank regression model with a critical time at plant age of 31 days after planting.

Abstract

Bacteria living in the digestive system of earthworms (Eudrilus eugeniae) can play a role in transforming organic compounds found in the organic matter digested by the worms into simple compounds, including compounds containing indole. During the fermentation process in vermiwash, bacteria will consume the organic matter in worm waste and produce IAA as a byproduct of metabolism. This research aims to analyse the potential symbiotic bacterial communities in vermiwash from earthworms (African Night Crawler) in producing the plant hormone IAA (Indole Acetic Acid). The research method involves collecting vermiwash from earthworms and analysing its symbiotic bacterial composition. Symbiotic bacterial isolates from vermiwash were tested for their ability to produce IAA through biochemical techniques, followed by bioinformatic analysis. The research results show that vermiwash contains a potential symbiotic bacterial community capable of producing IAA. Three isolates out of 10 types of symbiotic bacteria yielded positive results by showing a pink colour change after adding the Salkowski reagent. Therefore, these symbiotic bacteria can be utilized as a source of the plant hormone IAA, which can be used as organic fertilizer. Increased IAA production in vermiwash, can accelerate plant growth, enhance root formation, and optimize overall plant production. The application of a bacterial consortium can significantly influence the plant height, leaf area, and root length while having a non-significant impact on the stem diameter of corn.

Abstract

Coffee plants are one of the plantation crops cultivated in Indonesia. Coffee cultivation is generally carried out in agroforestry systems with shade plants such as rubber and sengon. The type of shade planted in coffee cultivation can affect temperature, humidity, and light intensity, all of which can influence the agronomic characteristics of coffee plants. This study aimed to analyze the effects of temperature, humidity, and light intensity on the agronomic characteristics of coffee plants grown under two types of shade in the agroforestry system. The research was conducted by measuring temperature, humidity, light intensity, and the agronomic characteristics of coffee plants in each observation plot. The data obtained were analyzed using SEM analysis and correlation methods. The average temperature in the agroforestry areas with rubber and sengon was 29.30˚C and 29.42˚C, respectively. The average humidity in the agroforestry areas with rubber and sengon shade was 65.72% and 64.76%, respectively. The average light intensity in the agroforestry areas with rubber shade was 35.79%, while in the sengon shade, it was 45.36%. Temperature and light intensity in both agroforestry systems exhibit a positive correlation with the number of productive branches and stomatal density of coffee plants. In contrast, humidity shows a negative correlation with chlorophyll content.

Abstract

Shallots are a valuable commodity in Indonesian civilization. However, due to different obstacles, production remains low. The prevalence of purple blotch disease caused by Alternaria porri is one of the major challenges in shallot production. A fungus infects its host through the stomata. The use of resistant cultivars is one of the initiatives to combat purple blotch disease. This study aimed to determine the resistance of several shallot varieties to purple blotch disease, identify and obtain resistant shallot varieties, and determine the relationship between stomatal density and the average intensity of the purple blotch disease attack. This study uses shallot cultivars released by the Balai Penelitian Tanaman Sayuran (BALITSA) Lembang. This study employed a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with ten shallot varieties as the treatments with three replications. The Agrihorti-1 and Katumi varieties had the lowest attack intensity, while the Sembrani and Maja Cipanas varieties had the highest assault intensity. Bima Brebes, Trisula, Mentes, Violetta-1, Kramat-1, Agrihorti-1, Agrihorti-2, and Katumi varieties were resistant to purple blotch disease, however, Sembrani and Maja Cipanas were susceptible. A low or weakly positive association exists between stomata density and the mean intensity of purple blotch illness.

Abstract

Consumption of herbal medicines by Indonesian people is increasing because of the price and ease of obtaining them. One of the main ingredients of herbal medicine is mint leaves because they contain tannin and flavonoid secondary metabolites. However, the generative mint plant is very slow and needs vegetative cuttings propagation. This study aims to examine the effect of auxin-type growth regulators and the composition of the growing media on the growth and yield of mint plant cuttings. This study used a complete randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was the auxin growth regulator with four levels: without growth regulator, IBA 500 ppm, IAA 500 ppm, NAA 500 ppm. The second factor was the composition of the planting medium with three levels, namely soil, husk charcoal, and goat manure 3:3:1; 3:2:2, and 3:1:3. Three repetitions were carried out. Auxin affects the number and area of leaves. Applying 500 ppm NAA encouraged the highest leaf growth, with the number of leaves at 163.38. Growth regulator NAA 500 ppm increased the number of leaves and leaf area of mint plants, i.e., by 0.01% and 1.16% compared to the control. The growing media composition affected the crown fresh weight, root biomass, and crown root ratio. The media composition of 3:3:1 produced a crown fresh weight of 41.07 g, and the media composition 3:3:3 produced the highest biomass of 5.97 g. The media composition 3:1:3 showed the highest root crown ratio, 2.69%. Auxin and the composition of the growing media synergistically promote the growth and yield of mint cuttings.

Abstract

Extended use of synthetic chemical fertilizers may degrade soil quality. As a synthetic chemical fertilizer substitute, organic fertilizer can improve soil quality, produce healthier agricultural products, and be environmentally sustainable. Thus, coffee grounds liquid organic fertilizer may solve this problem. This study examines how liquid organic fertilizer made from coffee grounds affects land kale's physiological and growth characteristics. A fully randomized experimental design with one factor and 11 treatments was used. A control group, NPK-16-16-16 4 g, and Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica coffee were treated with three concentrations (4 mL.L-1, 12 mL.L-1, and 20 mL.L-1). Four replicates were run for each treatment. The investigation found that coffee ground liquid organic fertilizer does not meet Minister of Agriculture Decree 261/KPTS/SR.310/M/4/2019 criteria. Compared to the control group, liquid organic fertilizer made from coffee grounds did not increase land kale growth. Additionally, it did not grow as well as with NPK16-16-16 fertilizer. Coffee grinds liquid organic fertilizer only enhances kale growing on land, promoting sustainable agriculture.
