Abstract

Cocoa productivity and its quality are still low (<2 tons ha-1), in order to increase its productivity through fertilization, it is necessary to be tested by using balanced N.P.K.Ca.Mg fertilizer with right formula and dosage. The research was done by 3 field experimental series at the cocoa seed farm (TSH 858 clone) owned by IOPRI at Sei Pancur, Deli Serdang on the altitude of 72 m. The research studies were: (1) the influence of balanced N.P.K.Ca.Mg fertilization; (2) the influence of formula and dosage of N.P.K.Ca.Mg of 12,5 : 10,9 : 16,4 : 10,3 : 4,6 and 12,9 : 11,4 : 16,8 : 10,6 : 4,8; and (3) the influence of the time of applying balanced N.P.K.Ca.Mg fertilization of 12,9 : 11,4 : 16,8 : 10,6 : 4,8 with pruning on cocoa flushing, flowering and pod reserves. The research method included: (1) non-factorial group random design with 6 levels of balanced N.P.K.Ca.Mg fertilization, for research-1; (2) nested factorial group random design with 2 levels (the best) of balanced fertilizer formula and 4 levels of dosage ratio (80%-140%), for research-2; and (3) non-factorial group random design with 4 levels of the time of applying balanced N.P.K.Ca.Mg fertilization related to heavy pruning, for research-3. Research-1 showed that, balanced N.P.K.Ca.Mg 12,5 : 10,9 : 16,4 : 10,3 : 4,6 and 12,9 : 11,4 : 16,8 : 10,6 : 4,8 fertilization indicated the better result on number of flower and pod reserves. Research-2 showed that, the formula of N.P.K.Ca.Mg fertilizer of 12,9 : 11,4 : 16,8 : 10,6 : 4,8 which tended to have the highest ratio of dosage (1,120 g plant-1) indicated the best result on number of flower and pod reserves. Research-3 showed that, application of fertilization 2 weeks after pruning indicated the best result. Potential yields can be increased from 680 kg ha-1 by tentative fertilization to 6,180 kg ha-1 by balanced N.P.K.Ca.Mg 12.9: 11.4: 16.8: 10.6: 4.8 fertilization.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of two arrangements and density of planting holes on the growth and yield of the kumala mustard variety (Brassica juncea L) in verticulture cultivation. This research was carried out behind the screen house of the Faculty of Agriculture, Santo Thomas Catholic University, Jln. Setia Budi 479 F, Tanjung Sari Medan, North Sumatra Province with an altitude of ± 32 meters above sea level. Starting from May-June 2024. This research used a non-factorial Complete Randomized Block Design (RAKL) consisting of 6 treatments with 3 replications. The treatment factors are P1 = 4 x 12 holes/stem, L1 = 4 x 12 holes/stem, P2 = 4 x 9 holes/stem, L2 = 4 x 9 holes/stem, P3 = 4 x 7 holes/stem, L3 = 4 x 7 Holes/rod. The tools used in this research were pipes (4 inches), saws, machetes, paranets, tape measures, verses, pencils, drink bottles, drills, pottray cups, and wood. The materials used were mustard seeds (kumala variety), wire, soil (soil cleaned of rubbish), water, chicken and goat manure. The research data were analyzed using variance based on a linear model. The effect of the two arrangement treatments and the density of the number of planting holes had no significant influence on the number of leaves, leaf length and fresh weight of plant roots. However, it has a real influence on the height of the green mustard plant, the wet weight per plant and the wet weight of the plant per unit. The best treatment among the other treatments is the L2 treatment (horizontal arrangement with 9 holes.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of the quantity and distance of land collection from the Terjun Landfill and the effect of the interaction of these two treatments on the growth of lavender plants (Lavandula angustifolia). Landfill soil is land in a final disposal site where, in this soil the organic nutrient content is quite high, but you need to know that apart from organic waste in landfill land there is also electronic waste, resulting in metal elements contained in landfill soil being also quite high. This research was carried out in screen house, Faculty of Agriculture, Santo Thomas Catholic University, Medan, with an altitude of 32 meters above sea level starting from February to April 2024. This research used a randomized block design (RAK) with 2 factors. The first factor is the distance to take landfill land (J) which consists of 3 levels, namely: J1= 0 m, J2= 52 m, J3= 104 m. The second factor is the quantity of landfill soil (M) consists of four levels, namely M1 = without landfill soil (Control), M2 = 3 kg, M3 = 4 kg, M4 = 5 kg. Data analysis uses analysis of variance. The parameters observed were plant height, number of shoots, root wet weight, root dry weight, root volume, shoot wet weight and soil pH. Based on the research results, it can be stated that the distance factor for taking soil has a very significant influence on plant height, number of shoots, root volume and wet weight of lavender plant crowns. The quantity of soil has a significant effect on plant height and the interaction between the distance from the landfill and the quantity of landfill soil has a significant effect on the wet weight of the canopy.

Abstract

Get the best combination of plant spacing and fertilizer dosage for vetiver growth under rubber tree stands. This research was carried out at the Sungei Putih Research Unit, Rubber Research Center located in Galang District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. This research used a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK), which consisted of two factors, namely fertilizer dose and planting distance. The first factor given is the effect of fertilizer dose symbolized "U" which consists of four levels, namely: U0 = without NPK fertilizer (Control), U1 = 10 gr/plant, U2 = 20 gr/plant, U3 = 40 gr/plant . The second factor used is planting distance (J) which consists of three levels, namely: J1 = 20 cm x 40 cm, J2 = 20 cm x 60 cm, J3 = 20 cm x 80 cm. Each treatment level was repeated 3 times, so that there were 36 plots/experimental units and the total sample of plots was 12, the placement of each sample was carried out randomly. Planting distance 20 x 40 cm = 16 x 12 plots = 192 plants. Planting distance 20 x 60 cm = 16 x 12 plots = 192 plants. Planting distance 20 x 80 cm = 16 x 12 plots = 192 plants. So the total number of plants is 576 plants. The results of this research are that planting distance has a real influence on root wet weight and root dry weight, where a planting distance of 20x60 cm gives the best results. NPK fertilizer does not have an effect on all parameters.

Abstract

This study aims to see the effect of IAA concentration and find the optimum IAA concentration on the growth of stem cuttings of Jupiter variety grapes. The parameters observed in the experiment include: Percentage of budding cuttings, Age of budding cuttings, Number of buds per cuttings 65 hst, Height or Length of shoots 65 hst, Number of leaves per cuttings 65 hst, and Number of live plants 90 hst. Based on the results of experimental data analysis and discussion, several conclusions can be drawn as follows: IAA concentration treatment has a significant effect on increasing the percentage of sprouted cuttings, shoot length 65 hst and number of live plants 90 hst, IAA-optimum concentration for the percentage of sprouted cuttings is 50 ppm IAA, 65 HST shoot length is 35 ppm IAA, and the number of live plants is 33.33 ppm IAA. Growth of grape stem cuttings was higher at concentration treatments lower than 100 ppm IAA concentrations. The effect of IAA concentration on the growth of grape stem cuttings effectively promotes growth lower than 100 ppm concentration, whereas treatment of higher concentrations markedly suppresses the growth of observed parameters. The optimum IAA concentration in more valid grape stem cuttings needs to be experimented with the effect of IAA concentrations below 100 ppm on the growth of Jupiter grape cuttings, because the regression equation obtained in this experiment is influenced by the level of treatment performed.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of planting distance on weed growth and production of Exsotic sweet corn (Zea mays saccharate Sturt) varieties. Weeds are one of the main inhibiting factors in the growth of sweet corn plants, which can have a negative impact on production if not controlled effectively. This research was carried out from May to July 2024 on Jalan Ngumban Surbakti Gang Sedap Malam no. This research method uses a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) which consists of 3 levels. The treatment factors are the first: J1 with a planting distance of 50 cm x 25 cm, J2 with a planting distance of 60 cm x 25 cm and J3 with a planting distance of 70 cm x 25 cm. The research data were analyzed using variance based on a linear model. Based on the research results, there is an influence of planting distance on the presence of weed vegetation in corn planting areas. The most types of weeds are found at planting distance J3 (70 x 25 cm) with 6 types of weeds with a Summed Dominance Ratio (SDR) of 1.14%, while the type of weed with the lowest SDR is found at planting distance J2 (60 x 25 cm) amounting to 0.83%. And planting distance has a significant effect on plant height at 2 and 8 WAP, stem diameter at 2 WAP, number of leaves at 2 WAP, production per sample, weight per plot and safe weight. Plants had the best growth at a planting distance of J3 (70 cm x 25 cm), while the highest production was at a planting distance of J1 (50 cm x 25 cm).
