Abstract

One of the obstacles to pepper production is the high intensity of plant disease attacks. One of them is stem rot disease caused by the fungus Phytophthora capsici. Therefore, appropriate technology is needed that can control disease and at the same time increase plant growth by using rhizobacteria which are environmentally friendly, and can produce growth hormones, dissolve phosphate, and fix nitrogen. This research aims to obtain rhizobacteria isolates that can control the pathogen P. capsici which causes root rot disease, while also being able to increase plant growth. This research was carried out at the Agronomy Laboratory of the Plantation Plant Cultivation Study Program, Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic. The research used a completely randomized design consisting of 4 treatments with 4 replications to obtain 16 experimental units. Variables observed included the latent period, disease incidence and severity, increase in plant height, number of leaves, and stem diameter. The resulting data was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of the analysis showing a real effect were followed by the Least Significant Difference test (BNT)α=0.05. The results of the research showed that the application of a combination of rhizobacteria was able to overcome stem rot disease and at the same time increased the growth of pepper plant seedlings. The combination of rhizobacteria isolates P01 + TA2 treatment can reduce the latent period of disease to 12.00 days compared to 5.50 days without rhizobacteria, the disease incidence rate is 6.25% with a severity level of 2.50%, lower than without treatment (control) at 37.50 % (disease incidence) and 47.50% (disease severity). Apart from that, the combination of rhizobacteria isolates P01 + TA2 was able to increase the growth of pepper plant seeds as shown by observing the increase in plant height, number of leaves, and stem diameter

Abstract

The fruit and vegetable sector produce waste significantly, causing social, environmental, and economic loss. Thus, a study was conducted at Pasig Mega Market, Pasig City to describe the fruit and vegetable vendors' waste management practices. Vendors and government employees participated in focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Results showed an average of 100-200 kilograms of waste were collected in the market daily, with leafy vegetables, watermelon, melon, and saba as common types. Focus group discussions revealed that discounted prices for suboptimal items, quality assurance methods, adherence to First-In-First-Out principles, and marketing strategies were the vendors' efforts to reduce waste. The identified approaches in handling wastes were, giving them as animal feed, creating alternative products, and returning damaged products to suppliers.  Key informant interviews disclosed that the local government and market administration practices in waste management were composting and donation as animal feed for the local zoo. Moreover, it revealed improvement in the management of implementing the ordinances. Problems encountered were focused on supplier issues, weather, market competition, and consumer preferences. Overall, their waste management reduces food waste disposed of in landfills. Recommended strategies for vendors and administration are valorizing food waste, organizing awareness and livelihood programs, and conducting regular evaluations.

Abstract

Leeks (Allium fistulosum L.) are short-lived horticultural crops and have great commercial potential. The productivity of leeks in Indonesia, especially in the East Java region, is experiencing fluctuations, this is due to the problem of decreasing soil fertility. The use of inorganic fertilizers is one of the causes of decreasing soil fertility where the use of inorganic fertilizers in Indonesia reached 105.22 kg/ha, being the highest use compared to several countries in Southeast Asia. Therefore, I offer a solution to this problem, namely by combining the use of inorganic fertilizer with organic fertilizer, for this you can use urea fertilizer and vermicompost fertilizer, where vermicompost fertilizer has advantages compared to other compost fertilizers in terms of complete content starting from microorganisms, growth hormones, and nutrients. The aim of the research I conducted was to determine the interaction of applying urea fertilizer and vermicompost on the growth and yield of leek plants (Allium fistulosum L). The research was conducted at the Green House using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 2 factors, each of which had 3 levels and was repeated 3 times to obtain 27 plant units. The first factor was a vermicompost dose of 0 g/polybag, 75 g/polybag, and 150 g/polybag, while the second factor was a urea dose of 0 g/polybag, 1 g/polybag, and 2 g/polybag. The experimental results showed that the best dose for the combined interaction of vermicompost and urea fertilizer treatment was 75 g/polybag vermicompost and 2 g/polybag urea to increase the number of leaves and height of leek plants.

Abstract

Genetically engineered microorganisms have applications in various domains, such as agriculture, bioscience, healthcare, life sciences, and research. The novel methods of the system Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats associated with protein 9, which originates from archaeal and bacterial immune systems and allows significant improvements to modified strains of microorganisms, represented a major innovation in industrial biotechnology. The rapid advancement of genetically engineered microorganisms has shown potential for bioremediation, food enzyme production, probiotics, and pesticides. Recently, engineered microbes have been used in several industries, like dairy, pharmaceuticals, biotech, and agrochemicals. Modified microorganisms used as biosensors are improved with reporter genes that induce their expression depending on the nature and concentration of the compound of interest to monitor environmental pollution. Genetically engineered microorganisms have been considered a threat to the environment, animals, and human health. Insertion of a single gene into different cells can result in diverse outcomes, and the general pattern of gene expression can be changed. More advanced and better techniques should be developed and applied in the genetic engineering of microbes to minimize risks.

Abstract

A two-year study experiment was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022 at the Teppi Agricultural Research Center (TARC) with the aim of identifying suitable planting material and an appropriate pre-planting storage method that can enhance turmeric seed quality and yield under rain-fed conditions. The experiment consisted of three planting materials (mother rhizomes, finger rhizomes, and mixed rhizomes) and five pre-planting storage methods (cemented floor, under tree shade, raised mesh-wired bed, pit with grass cover, and pit with soil cover). These factors were factorially arranged using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results from the analysis of variance revealed that the seed quality, growth, and seed rhizome yield of turmeric were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by the main effect of both planting material and storage method. However, their interaction effect did not significantly affect these attributes (p>0.05). The highest clean and sprouted seed rhizomes, as well as total sprouts, were recorded in mother seed rhizomes and seed rhizomes stored under tree shade. Conversely, storing mother seed rhizomes on cemented floors resulted in the highest seed weight losses. Finger seed rhizomes stored in soil-covered pits produced the highest percentages of non-sprouted and decayed seed rhizomes. Regarding growth attributes, mother seed rhizomes led to the highest plant stands, plant height, stem girth, leaf growth, and tiller number. Storing seed rhizomes under tree shade performed the best across these growth attributes. Turmeric plants grown from mother seed rhizomes yielded a higher number of mother and finger rhizomes per plant and the highest fresh rhizome yield. Likewise, storing seed rhizomes under tree shade resulted in the highest fresh rhizome yield. In general, utilizing mother seed rhizomes and storing them under tree shade improved turmeric seed quality, growth, and seed rhizome yield. Therefore, farmers in the area are recommended to adopt these practices, but further research is needed to assess their economic feasibility.

Abstract

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family. It is a crop of immense economic importance worldwide and salinity is one of the major abiotic factors limiting it's production and productivity globally. The amount of irrigation water and their evapotranspiration is the main reason that causes salinization. Salinity is an abiotic stress that affects agriculture by severely impacting crop growth and, consequently, final yield. Considering that sea levels rise at an alarming rate over year, it is clear that salt stress constitutes a top-ranking threat to agriculture. Among the economically important crops that are sensitive to high salinity is tomato one that is more affected by salt stress. Si plays the beneficial role of the quasi-essential metalloid silicon (Si), which increases the vigor and protects plants against a biotic stresses. The use of silicon fertilization can be used as sustainable practices in agricultural production to increase yield and quality of plants. Silicon fertilization also plays role in plant protection against various range of exogenous stresses especially, under changing environment. The use of appropriate irrigation method, amount and water quality to minimize the risk of salt accumulation around root zone of plants. Different plant growth regulators and amino acids could also play a great role in increasing yield and growth of tomato under salt stress.

Abstract

Commercialization of agricultural produce through cooperatives that undertake collective marketing can decrease transactions costs for smallholder farmers. This study investigated the factors influencing smallholder bean producers’ decision to participate and intensity of participation in collective marketing in Kawambwa, Luwingu and Senga Hill districts of Zambia. A multi-stage sampling design was used to draw 150 smallholder farmers from cooperatives from the three districts. Cross sectional data were collected through semi structured questionnaire and in-depth focused group discussions were also conducted with the three cooperatives. Double hurdle results revealed that the decision to participate in collective marketing was influenced by age, gender, household size, farm size, output price, farm income, hybrid seed, access to market information, ownership of a bicycle, radio and mobile phone. On the other hand, the determinants of intensity of participation in collective marketing were education level of the household head, bean output and distance to the nearest market. To increase smallholder farmers’ participation in collective marketing, there is need to focus on policies that enhance access to market information, promotion and adoption of hybrid bean varieties, increased bean production and construction of bulking facilities in rural areas away from main markets. Smallholder farmers who have attained at least primary level education should be targeted as well as encourage youth and women participation.
