Abstract

Maize (Zea mays L.) ranks among the major cereal crops globally, after rice and wheat. In Riau Province, a significant decline in maize yield has been observed, mainly due to infestation by fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith). Control of this pest is essential to prevent its population from exceeding economic thresholds. However, the predominant use of synthetic insecticides has led to undesirable consequences, including the development of resistance, pest resurgence, and secondary pest proliferation. As a sustainable alternative, botanical pesticides derived from plant-based compounds are gaining interest. This study investigated the insecticidal potential of Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) leaf extract prepared with 70% ethanol. This plant is known to contain various bioactive secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with six extract concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0%) and four replications, resulting in a total of 24 experimental units. The results showed that a 1% extract concentration produced the highest efficacy, resulting in 82.50% total larval mortality, with initial mortality observed at 7.25 h post-application. The LT₅₀ value was recorded at 52 h, while the LC₅₀ and LC₉₅ were estimated at 0.74 and 1.62%, respectively. These findings suggest that Indian jujube leaf extract has the potential to serve as an environmentally friendly biopesticide for controlling S. frugiperda under controlled conditions.

Abstract

Access to food is a human right. The destruction of paddy fields due to changes in use in various regions in Indonesia affects the national food supply. The contribution of domestic rice is decreasing, and the dependence on imported rice is increasing. In the long term, this phenomenon will threaten efforts to fulfil the adequacy of the staple food rice for the growing population, thereby increasing the potential for a food crisis. This study analyses the decline in domestic rice sufficiency due to the destruction of paddy fields in Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province. The method used in this study is mixed, consisting of visual image interpretation, map overlay, and descriptive quantitative analysis. The results showed that the average rate of destruction of paddy fields in Banyumas Regency from 2007 to 2019 was 102.6 hectares per year, concentrated around Purwokerto District, which is the capital of Banyumas Regency . The potential loss of rice production is 1,189,580 kilograms per year of harvested dry grain, equivalent to IDR 5,709,984,000.00.

Abstract

The genus Curcuma comprises numerous species with high medicinal value, many exhibiting morphological similarities that complicate taxonomic identification and hinder breeding efforts. This study aimed to elucidate the genetic diversity and relationships among three closely related species, Curcuma longa (turmeric), Curcuma purpurascens (temu tis), and Curcuma mangga using Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) markers. Genetic material was extracted from rhizome samples and amplified using five SRAP primer combinations, producing 56 loci with an average polymorphism percentage of 69.64%. The result showed a high genetic similarity (82%) between C. longa and C. purpurascens, whereas C. mangga exhibited a more distant relationship (55% similarity), indicating a narrower genetic base among the former two species. Additionally, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity, with turmeric showing the highest flavonoid concentration (25.95% w/w), and C. mangga exhibiting the strongest antioxidant activity (42.12% wb). These findings highlight the effectiveness of SRAP markers in differentiating morphologically similar species and provide valuable genetic and phytochemical insights to support the conservation, breeding, and pharmacological development of Curcuma species. Integrating molecular and biochemical data underscores the potential for selecting superior varieties for both agricultural and medicinal applications.

Abstract

The demand for butternut squash which continues to increase every year makes farmers try to increase their production, one of which is by applying biological and organic fertilizers. This study aims to determine the response of growth and production of butternut squash to the application of mycorrhiza and quail manure. This study used a randomized block design with 2 factors and 3 replications. The first factor was the application of mycorrhiza which consisted of 3 levels, namely: 0, 2.5, and 5 g/plant, while the second factor was quail manure which consisted of 4 levels, namely: 0, 1, 2 and 3 kg/plot. The results showed that the application of mycorrhizae had a significant effect on fruit length and fruit weight. The application of quail manure had a significant effect on increasing fruit weight. The interaction of mycorrhizae and quail manure did not significantly affect all observed parameters. Although it had no significant effect, the application of mycorrhiza and quail fertilizer was proven to increase the growth and production of butternut squash compared to the control (without the application of mycorrhiza and quail manure). The combination of mycorrhizal 2.5 g/plant and quail manure 1 kg/plot could increase butternut squash production.

Abstract

Shallot cv. Tajuk is one of the most preferred shallot varieties to be cultivated, especially by farmers living in lowland areas with low water availability issues, such as Bantul and Kulon Progo. However, to date, the information about the resistance of this variety to Fusarium disease is poorly studied. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the prevalence of Fusarium disease in shallot cv. Tajuk is cultivated in Bantul and Kulon Progo. A survey of Fusarium disease occurrence was conducted in 8 shallot fields from 3 districts in Bantul (Imogiri, Sanden, and Kretek) and six shallot fields representing two districts of Kulon Progo (Lendah and Sentolo). Disease observation in Bantul was carried out during the dry season from June to August 2023, while the survey in Kulon Progo was performed during the rainy season from January to February 2024. The cropping system applied in each selected shallot field was also collected through the landowner interviews. Data obtained from disease monitoring were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and significance among locations was subsequently analyzed using Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test with a p<0.05. Findings of this study revealed that the susceptibility of shallot cv. Tajuk to Fusarium disease varied between Bantul and Kulon Progo. Shallot var. Tajuk conferred higher resistance against Fusarium disease when it was cultivated in Kulon Progo. Results of this study also confirmed that different farming practices applied in each location appear to have a minor impact on the severity of this disease in the shallot cv. Tajuk

Abstract

Bay leaf contain active ingredients that have potential as a botanical fumigant against stored product pests. Using bay leaves as tablet fumigant has been limited to controlling stored product pests from the order Coleoptera. It has not been used to control stored product pests from the order Lepidoptera. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the effect of bay leaf tablet fumigants on the developmental stages of C. cautella. This research consisted of six different concentration levels (i.e., 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; and 5 ml l-1 air) repeated five times and arranged with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The observed variables were the mortality on the developmental stages of C. cautella. The results showed that mortality of eggs, larvae, and adults of C. cautella was higher (100%) at 3, 4, and 5 ml l-1 air than other concentrations. The LC50 values on eggs, larvae, and adults of C. cautella were (0.956, 0.982, 1.221 ml l-1 air at 24 hours), (0.912, 0.952, 0.895 ml l-1 air at 48 hours), and (0.502, 0.938, 0.880 ml l-1 air at 72 hours), respectively.

Abstract

The activity of changing land functions from rubber and cocoa plantations to sugar cane plantations and using conventional technical land processing systems can affect the population of ground surface insects such as ground beetles. Ground beetles are one of the important insects that act as predators and are sensitive to environmental conditions. The aim of this research is to determine the diversity and number of ground beetle populations in the sugar cane fields at PTPN XII Kalitelepak Plantation. This research used a pitfall trap consisting of 5 plots and 9 traps were installed in each plot with a distance of 10 m between traps. Samples were taken 15 times every 3 days. The research results showed that the ground beetles caught were from the Carabidae family which consists of the species Chlaenius bimaculatus, Chlaienius virgulifer, Chlaenius pictus, Chlaenius cambodiensis, Pheropsophus occipitalis, Pterostichus melanarius, Harpalus affinis, Nebria brevicollis, Planetes puncticeps with a total of 143 individuals. The highest important value index is the species Chlaenius bimaculatus at 104.96. The diversity of ground beetles in sugar cane plants at PTPN XII Kalitelepak Plantation is in the low category because it is less than (<) 1, namely with a value of 0.79. Human activities such as taking grass and changing land use can affect diversity, so conservation needs to be carried out to increase the diversity of ground beetles.

Abstract

The success of rice production is partly determined by the quality of the seeds used. The main challenge in maintaining seed quality is proper management to ensure that seeds remain preserved during storage. This study aims to evaluate the effect of storage methods on the quality of local Bangka rice seeds, as well as the chemical composition of the seeds after being stored for 8 months. The research period is from February to December 2024, conducted at the Seed Laboratory and Plant Breeding of the Bangka Belitung University. The study uses an experimental design of a Completely Randomized Design in a split-plot pattern. The first factor consists of 6 accessions of local Bangka rice (Mukot, Jawa, Ungu, Pulut Hitam, Balok Merah, and Mayang Hutan). The second factor consists of 7 storage media (cans, 40-micron plastic, 120-micron plastic, plastic sacks, plastic jars, seed trays, and panicles). Each treatment was repeated 4 times. The results show that the Balok Merah accession exhibited the best performance, supported by the highest maximum growth potential, germination rate, vigor index, uniformity of growth, and normal seedling dry weight, along with more consistent moisture content. The panicle storage medium showed the best results in maintaining seed quality during storage, supported by the highest maximum growth potential and germination rate. The best treatment combination was the storage with panicles of the Jawa accession, supported by germination rate and the highest maximum growth potential. Proximate analysis indicated that the highest moisture content, ash content, and protein levels were found in Balok Merah. The highest fat content was in the Pulut Hitam accession, while the highest carbohydrate content was in the Mukot accession. There was a strong positive correlation between maximum growth potential and germination rate.

Abstract

Red chili production in certain areas of Central Java, including Sendangijo Village, Wonogiri Regency, remains relatively low. One alternative to improve its growth and yield is foliar fertilization. This study aimed to determine the most effective type of foliar fertilizer for enhancing the growth and yield of red chili. The study was conducted from May to September 2023 in Sendangijo Village using a Randomized Complete Block Design with a single factor consisting of four treatments: no foliar fertilizer, foliar fertilizer A. NPK 11-8-6, B. NPK 20-15-15, and C. NPK 10-2-7, each with six replications. Observed variables included plant height, number of dichotomous branches, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weight of biomass, number of fruits, fresh weight of fruits per plant, and productivity per hectare. The result showed that the leaf area of red chili pepper given foliar fertilizer NPK 20-15-15  was larger than the foliar fertilizer NPK 11-8-6, NPK 10-2-7, and without foliar fertilizer. Foliar fertilizer NPK 20-15-15 also gave a heavier dry weight of biomass compared to foliar fertilizer NPK 11-8-6, NPK 10-2-7, and without foliar fertilizer. However, foliar fertilizer application did not significantly affect the number of fruits, the fresh weight of fruits per plant, or productivity per hectare.
