Abstract

Cucumber is one of the most widely consumed vegetable crops globally. Rice-washing water has not been previously explored as a potential source for producing secondary metabolites from antagonistic fungi. Phytophthora species frequently affect cucumber seedlings, leading to crown and root rot. This research aimed to assess the efficacy of washing water from various rice types on the conidial density of Trichoderma harzianum T10 and its impact on crown and root rot in cucumber seedlings and overall plant growth. We conducted four treatments with rice washing water in vitro under a completely randomized design, comprising six replicates. Five treatments were evaluated in planta under a randomized block design with five replicates. The observed variables included conidial density, incubation period, disease incidence, disease progression expressed as the Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC), plant height, fresh weight, and root length. The results indicated that washing water from glutinous rice provided the optimal medium for T. harzianum T10, yielding a conidial density of 10.3 × 10-6 conidia mL-1, representing a 66.02% increase compared to washing water from white rice. The crude secondary metabolites produced by T. harzianum T10 in glutinous rice washing water significantly extended the incubation period and reduced disease incidence and AUDPC values by 40.34, 62.07, and 69.41%, respectively, compared to the control. Furthermore, the secondary metabolites from T. harzianum T10 in glutinous rice washing water enhanced plant height, fresh weight, and root length by 91.81, 92.42, and 95.21%, respectively, compared to the control.

Abstract

One of the main pests that attack corn plants is Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith. The usual control of this pest is by using synthetic insecticides, but the continuous or unwise use of synthetic insecticides will have negative impacts on humans and the environment, therefore alternative insecticides that are safe and environmentally friendly, such as tuba root (Derris elliptica Benth) are needed. This study aims to determine the effect of tuba root extract phytopesticide on S. frugiperda larvae and to determine the concentration of tuba root extract that is effective in controlling S. frugiperda larvae, as well as the eating inhibition power of S. frugiperda larvae after administration. The research was conducted at the Applied Entomology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta from September to November 2022. The treatment concentrations used were 0, 2, 4, and 8 mL.L-1 of water. The experiment employed Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. The results showed that the concentration of 4 mL.L-1 of water is an effective concentration for controlling S. frugiperda larvae and can cause a total mortality of 82% with an initial death of 19 hours, Lethal Time 50 at 39.20 hours after application. In addition, the concentration of tuba root powder extract of 8 mL.L-1 of water appeared to be the highest in reducing the appetite of larvae compared to other treatments with a rate of 17.03%. This showed the highest reduction in larval appetite compared to other treatments. A small amount of feed eaten means a high level of antifeedant activity.

Abstract

The optimal growth of soybean plants is critically dependent on the availability of essential nutrients in the soil, particularly nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Plants achieve optimal growth when nutrient levels exceed deficiency thresholds. A significant challenge in soybean cultivation at the farmer level is the precise determination of fertilizer dosage and timing of application. This study presents an Internet of Things (IoT)-based device for the real-time detection of NPK nutrient content in soil, aimed at enhancing soybean yields. The device enables timely and accurate nutrient application, minimizing the soil's residual fertilizer risk, which can lead to environmental pollution and decreased land productivity. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate NPK fertilization methods on soybean crops in two distinct soil types, namely Vertisol and Entisol. The methodology involved comparing local farmers' fertilization practices with the recommendations derived from the NPK detection device. Results illustrated a significant increase in soybean yields when fertilization was performed according to the device's recommendations, yielding an increase from 1.2 to 1.79 t.ha-1 on Vertisol soil and from 1.75 to 2.57 t.ha-1 on Entisol soil.

Abstract

Mentik Susu is a popular rice germplasm in Indonesia. Due to field constraints in Mentik Susu rice cultivation, farmers switched to better varieties with higher yields. Farmers switch to superior types with high yields due to high plant posture, long harvest life, and low yields. Rice plants usually have a protein content of 4-5% per gram while without given radiation. It will be expected that after receiving gamma rays, the protein content in mutant plants will increase up to 7-8% per gram. The aim of this research was to evaluate the productivity and protein content of rice grain of 35 mutant strains of rices that could be developed into new varieties. The research took place at the Tegalgondo Rice Seed Garden Agricultural Land between June to October 2020. This research used Randomized Complete Block Design method with a single factor. Each treatment was repeated three times. The data obtained was analyzed with analysis of variance and followed with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at a 5% level if any significant influences. The results of this research showed productivity of 35 Mentik Susu rice lines ranged from 4.28 to 6.69 ha-1, with either a high protein content ranging from 5-8% per gram and intermediate high yield potential strains G63T11-B6-T27(1), G15T5-14-B5-T60, G15T5-14-B5-T46, G11T22-19-B1-T48, G15T5-14-B3-T36, M-MS2-G15T3-2-5 -T27, M-MS2-G18T7-4-12-T13, M-MS2-G18T7-4-9-T12. These strains might be cultivated as potential candidates for new high-yielding varieties, which would then be evaluated for higher yields or multilocation tests before becoming published as new varieties.

Abstract

Compost is an organic fertilizer produced through the decomposition of plant residues, animal waste, and other organic materials, playing a vital role in enhancing soil fertility, nutrient availability, and microbial activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various compost types on the growth and yield of rice. The experiment was conducted in Nagari Koto Baru, Solok Regency, from July to December 2022, using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with six treatments of compost type and four replications: no compost, kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata), rice straw, grass, corn leaf, and cow dung compost. The dose of compost used in all treatments was the same, at 100 g per pot. Composting was carried out for 30 days, utilizing PROMI microorganisms to accelerate decomposition. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that kirinyuh compost produced the best response across all observed parameters, including plant height (76.20 cm), number of leaves (79.80), number of tillers (30.50), nmber of productive tillers (28.00), panicle length (26.00 cm), number of grains per panicle (170.00), weight of 1,000 grains (28.00 g), and grain weight per pot (105.00 g). This yield corresponds to a potential production of 9.45 t.ha-1. These findings highlight Kirinyuh compost as a promising local organic fertilizer capable of sustainably increasing rice productivity while improving soil health.

Abstract

The bean fly (Ophiomyia phaseoli) is a major pest of soybean in Indonesia which causes the plants to die early in growth. Most farmers use insecticide synthetics to control this pest. Therefore the alternative control of bean flies is needed to reduce reliance on farmer's usage of chemical pesticides. One of the alternative control is with application of husk ash that has a high silica content. This study examined husk ash to know the effect of husk ash to population and proportion of bean flies attacks. This research conducted in Pengkok Village, Kedawung, Sragen from June - September 2019. The method used was field experiment with a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with one factor, namely the dose of husk ash five levels (0 tons ha-1, 1.25 tons ha-1, 2.5 tons ha-1, 3.75 tons ha-1, and 5 tons ha-1) and five replications. The results showed that the application of husk ash not affected significantly on the adults of the bean fly population, but affected significantly the percentage of attacks only in the cotyledons. The application of rice husk ash can reduce the percentage of attack on the cotyledons by 2.11-3.04% than without husk ash application. The number of plant deaths apparently followed the populations of bean flies. Furthermore, the height of soybean with application looked taller than without application.

Abstract

Wheat is the largest cereal food in the world's staple food supply. The expansion of the wheat crop needs to be done through extensification efforts in the lowlands to increase domestic production. The main obstacles faced in the lowlands are the high air temperature and the intensity of sunlight. The research objective was to provide adaptive wheat mutant in the lowlands, especially in North Sumatra. The seeds of 3 varieties of wheat: Dewata, Basribey and G-21 were treated with gamma irradiation with a dose 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 Gy. Each treatment was repeated three times. The highest percentage of germination and vigor index due to the combination of treatment of wheat varieties with gamma rays was the combination of Dewata and 200 Gy which was significantly different from Basribey and G-21. Gamma irradiation treatment of 100 Gy on the three mutant wheat varieties showed differences in plant height, namely the G-21 variety, followed by Dewata and Basribey. The number of productive tillers showed significant variation between the gamma ray treatments for each mutant wheat genotype and the most productive tillers were at a gamma ray dose of 100 Gy for all wheat genotypes. The 100 Gy gamma ray treatment caused the number of seeds of the Dewata variety to be much higher than that of Basribey and G-21. The mutants obtained with the desired characters are the basic materials in assembling new superior varieties of wheat that are adaptive in the lowlands.

Abstract

Pagoda mustard is a new type of vegetable in Indonesia with high economic potential, but its cultivation is still limited. One of the challenges in its development is the use of Red-Yellow Podzolic soil, which is characterized by acidic pH, low organic matter, and limited nutrient availability, all of which can hinder plant growth. The use of biostimulants and balanced fertilization in cultivated plants can provide optimal growth and yield. The research was carried out in West Kalimantan, for two months from May to July 2024, using a Factorial Completely Randomized Design with two factors: biostimulants application (without and with biostimulants) and nitrogen fertilizer application at three levels (100, 200, and 300 kg.ha-1). The results indicate that the combined application of biostimulants and nitrogen fertilizer did not show interactions for any observed variables. However, a single treatment of biostimulants could increase the number of leaves, leaf area index, root volume, dry weight, and amino acid levels of pagoda mustard plants. Nitrogen fertilizer at 100 kg.ha-1 was found to be an efficient treatment to increase the growth and yield.

Abstract

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid material derived from the pyrolysis of agricultural residue biomass, which takes longer to decompose than the raw material biomass. Biochar has been observed to have agronomic benefits. Because of its persistence in the soil, biochar has the potential to extend its agronomic benefits. The purpose of this study was to obtain evidence that biochar has a longer effect so that its residual effect can increase the growth and yield of soybean. A series of pot experiments which included 4 consecutive plantings were carried out. The treatments consisting of: control; rice husk biochar (RHB) 20 ton.ha-1; RHB 40 ton.ha-1; RHB 50 ton.ha-1; RHB 60 ton.ha-1; RHB 10 ton.ha-1 + chicken manure (CM) 10 ton.ha-1; RBH 20 ton.ha-1 + CM 20 ton.ha-1; RHB 30 ton.ha-1 + CM 30 ton.ha-1. The treatments were applied to the first planting of the series experiment (September-December 2018). To determine the residual effect of the treatments, the second experiment was carried out in February-June 2019 with planting aerobic rice plants, third experiment in March-June 2020 with soybeans plant, and fourth experiment in July-October 2020 with soybean plants. The results showed that the effect of residual rice husk biochar did not significantly increase growth and soybean yields in the 3rd and 4th planting.
