Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of planting media composition and types of NPK fertilizers (compound and mixed) on the growth of pre-nursery oil palm seedlings. The study was conducted in September - November 2023 at the Instiper Yogyakarta Education and Research Garden. This study used a factorial experimental method arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of two factors, namely the composition of the planting media (clay, sand, sand + clay + organic fertilizer, sand + clay, clay + organic fertilizer, sand + organic fertilizer) and types of NPK compound fertilizers (compound fertilizer 15-15-15 and mixed fertilizer 0.30g Urea + 0.30g TSP + 0.25 g MOP). The results showed that the treatment of NPK fertilizer types (compound and mixed) and planting media composition interacted significantly with the height of pre-nursery oil palm seedlings, where the combination of clay soil media with mixed fertilizers produced a plant height of 25.90 cm. The treatment of planting media composition significantly affects the number of leaves, where the composition of sand + clay + organic fertilizer produces the highest number of leaves, which is 4 strands. Furthermore, treating NPK fertilizer types (compound and mixed) also significantly affects the diameter of pre-nursery oil palm seedlings, where using mixed fertilizers gives the highest stem diameter results, which is 9.46 cm.

Abstract

Shallot production in Indonesia has not been able to meet market needs due to the scarce availability of subsidized chemical fertilizers. Another alternative to replacing chemical fertilizers can be using Liquid Organic Fertilizer. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of watering time and concentration of liquid organic fertilizer on the growth and production of shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.). The design in this study was a Randomized Block Design (RAK), consisting of 2 treatment factors, namely watering time (W) consisting of 2 treatment levels, namely: W1= 1x1 week, W2= 1x2 weeks and POC concentration (P) consisting of 4 treatment levels namely: P1= 2 ml/240 ml water/plant, P2= 4 ml/240 ml water/plant, P= 6 ml/240 ml water/plant and P4= 8 ml/240 ml water/plant. Data analysis uses analysis of variance, if the treatment factor has a significant effect on the variance test, a mean difference test is carried out using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level. The results showed that POC watering time had a significant effect on tuber diameter and number of tubers per sample, but had no significant effect on fresh weight of tubers per sample and dry weight of tubers per sample. POC concentration had a significant effect on tuber diameter, number of tubers per sample, fresh weight of tubers per sample and dry weight of tubers per sample.

Abstract

The study aims to determine the effect of foliar fertilizer on the growth and production of several varieties of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L). This study used a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of two factors. The first factor is mustard greens varieties (V) consisting of 3 levels: V1 = Tosakan variety, V2 = Shinta variety, and V3 = Dora variety. The second factor is foliar fertilizer (P), consisting of 3 levels: P0 = control, P1 = 2 cc / l of water, and P2 = 4 cc / l of water. The parameters observed in this study were plant height and wet and dry Weight of plants. The results showed that the variety treatment significantly affected plant height, wet Weight and dry Weight of mustard greens. The highest growth and production were obtained in variety V1 (Tosakan), followed sequentially by variety V2 (Shinta) and variety V3 (Dora). Foliar fertilizer treatment significantly affected plant height, wet Weight and dry Weight of mustard greens. The higher the concentration of leaf fertilizer given up to 4 cc/l of water, the higher the growth and production of mustard plants. The interaction between variety treatment and leaf fertilizer concentration had no significant effect on all observed variables.

Abstract

The chemical physical properties of tuna fish oil include 25% saturated fat, 75% unsaturated fat, density 967.96 kg/m3, iodine number 170, saponification number 188, refractive index 25 oC 1.4785, unsaponifiable number 0.1% and types of fatty acids contained in tuna fish oil, namely palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids. Tuna fish waste, which includes heads, bones and skin, if not handled, will quickly deteriorate and become rotten, so further processing is needed to be utilized as well as possible into products such as oil from tuna fish processing waste. At present, oil from tuna fish waste, which is a derivative product of tuna fish with selling value, has not been widely developed and commercialized. Therefore, a more in-depth study of the processing of tuna fish waste is needed, including to determine the physico-chemical properties contained in oil from tuna fish waste. This study aims to analyze how the value of refractive index, peroxide number, free fatty acids and iodine number in tuna fish skin oil. The results showed that the chemical quality characterization of tuna fish skin oil obtained a refractive index value of 1.638, free fatty acids (FFA) 0.03%, peroxide number 0.2 meq / kg material and Iod number 44.74 g I2 / 100 g material.
