Abstract

Nutrients are the main component in a hydroponic system. Liquid organic fertilizer has the potential to be a source of hydroponic nutrition because it can be made from agricultural waste through a fermentation process using local microorganisms. The aim of the research is to analyze articles that use the theme of liquid organic fertilizer and describe various topics that are relevant and have novelties to be developed in future research. The bibiometric analysis used in the research used the 2019-2023 literature. The data collection method uses dimensions with the keyword "liquid organic fertilizer" to obtain 500 papers published in 2019-2023. The data was sorted into 300 articles for further analysis with the help of VOSviewer 1.6.19_Mac software. The research results show that the theme of liquid organic fertilizer implemented in scientific articles has become a serious concern and has had high interest value for researchers over the last 4 years. Several new topics that need to be studied further to support the development of liquid organic fertilizer as nutrition in hydroponic systems to support sustainable agriculture include: local microorganisms (mol), biostimulants, cocopeat, chicken manure. Elsevier is a publisher in the main ranking which publishes articles and is widely cited. Keywords with different topics are needed to analyze articles to get new ideas and innovations in developing knowledge and technology that supports sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

This study was carried out on a 239,439.63 ha unit of dry land in the Aceh Besar Regency. The Soil and Plant Science Laboratory and the Soil Physics Laboratory at the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Syiah Kuala, analyzed soil and biomass samples. Twelve different land use types in the Aceh Besar Regency's dry land are the research locations. Utilizing a methodology with the number SNI 7724:2011, the Indonesian National Standards Agency established the biomass measuring and sampling procedure in 2011. According to the study's findings, the primary forest land use type has the greatest potential for absorbing CO2 in the forest land use type, followed by the following. Pine forest, secondary forest, teak forest, eucalyptus forest, and bush forest, in that order. In contrast, the land use categories of mixed gardens, moors, bushes, grassland, rainfed rice fields, and bare ground have the highest potential for absorbing CO2. Primary forests have the largest overall carbon dioxide absorption among the many forest land use types. These are followed, in order, by secondary forests, bush forests, eucalyptus forests, pine forests, and teak forests. The primary forest land use type has the largest total CO2 absorption among the non-forest land use types, followed by grasslands, shrubs, mixed gardens, rainfed rice fields, moorland, and bare ground, in that order. The Aceh Besar Regency's numerous dry land uses can benefit from enhanced natural and environmental sustainability due to the wide stem diameter and abundance of woody plants, which can also increase CO2 absorption. Highlights High CO2 potential and sequestration are critical in controlling climate change Humans play an important role in regulating and maintaining the availability of plants to maintain environmental stability. Forest protection plays an important role in maintaining the biodiversity of plants, animals, and endangered species in protected forest areas.

Abstract

Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L) Nielsen) is a forestry plant often developed for industrial purposes in Indonesia. Sengon is a fast-growing species and has a relatively short-cutting period. Sengon wood is widely used in the production of carpentry wood, plywood raw materials, and pulp. The purpose of this study was to optimize the transformation of the entC and pmsB genes into sengon plants using the embryo injury method through Agrobacterium tumefaciens as an intermediary and to determine the efficiency of the transformation using the injury to sengon embryos. This research was conducted from September 2022 to March 2023. The research was conducted at the Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Tissue Culture Laboratory, Recombinant Protein (Microbe) Laboratory, and Greenhouse of the Genetic Engineering Center, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Cibinong, Bogor, Java West. The research procedure consisted of several steps, namely Preparation of MS Media, Preparation of LB Media, Preparation of Sengon Seed Infection Using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Sterilization and Planting of Sengon Seeds, Acclimatization, and Molecular Analysis (including Sengon DNA isolation, PCR Amplification, and Electrophoresis). Transformation efficiency was calculated by the positive strain of hpt PCR bands compared to the number of transformed embryos and multiplied by 100%. In the results of the PCR analysis, it was found that one plant sample carried the hpt marker, which indicates the integration of the entC and pmsB genes. which when analyzed using transformation efficiency calculations, the data obtained for the entire transformation stage was 0.8%, where the success of the transformation obtained was still classified as low. Factors that cause the low success of transformation include the method of transformation, the growth phase of bacteria, genetic material, and culture aseptic conditions.
