Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of shading on the growth and photosynthetic rate of red chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The results showed that shading treatment had a significant effect on morphological parameters, namely plant height and total dry weight, but did not significantly affect leaf width, leaf number, and leaf length compared to plants grown without shading. Physiologically, shading influenced quantum yield, photochemical quenching, and non-photochemical quenching, whereas the maximum photosynthetic rate (Pmax) did not show a significant difference. From an ecophysiological perspective, shading treatment significantly increased proline and ascorbic acid contents. These findings indicate that red chili pepper exhibits a high adaptive capacity to low light intensity conditions. This study is expected to contribute as a reference material and learning resource in the fields of plant physiology and plant biology.

Abstract

The soil’s ability to store water is one of the key factors determining agricultural productivity, particularly in lowland areas that frequently experience water saturation. This study aimed to examine the effects of soil texture and structure on the soil’s water-holding capacity. Soil samples were collected from several points in lowland areas and subsequently analyzed in the laboratory using the pipette method to determine soil texture, morphological observations to assess soil structure, and the gravimetric method to measure water-holding capacity. The results showed that fine-textured soils, such as clay, have a higher water-holding capacity compared to coarse-textured soils, such as sand. Soil structures that are granular and stable enhance soil porosity and enable water to be retained for a longer period. The combination of clay texture and granular structure resulted in the most optimal soil water-holding capacity. Therefore, soil physical conditions, particularly texture and structure, play a crucial role in maintaining soil water balance. Soil management practices involving the addition of organic matter and appropriate tillage are essential measures to improve soil water-holding capacity and support sustainable agriculture in lowland areas.

Abstract

Water deficiency is one of the major abiotic factors that significantly affects the growth and productivity of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Insufficient water availability disrupts vital physiological processes such as nutrient absorption, translocation, and distribution from roots to plant tissues. This study aims to analyze the effects of water shortage on the nutrient transport mechanism in rice plants. The methods included observations of soil moisture content, leaf nutrient levels, and transpiration rates under various drought treatments. The results revealed that water deficiency significantly reduced the roots’ ability to absorb essential macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), due to decreased mass flow and ion diffusion in the soil. Furthermore, the reduction in turgor pressure and xylem activity disturbance inhibited the upward transport of nutrients, leading to lower vegetative growth and yield. Overall, this study emphasizes that optimal water availability is a key factor in maintaining nutrient transport efficiency and rice productivity, providing a scientific basis for developing adaptive irrigation strategies under drought conditions.

Abstract

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis. This study aimed to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilization on photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll content, and growth of maize (Zea mays L.). The research was conducted from October to December 2025 in Dahana Village, Universitas Nias, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four nitrogen levels and five replications. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, and plant dry weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD test at the 5% level. The results showed that nitrogen fertilization significantly affected maize growth by increasing plant height, leaf number, and dry weight. However, excessive nitrogen application did not always result in optimal growth. Therefore, appropriate nitrogen fertilization is required to support optimal maize growth.

Abstract

Land suitability evaluation is a crucial stage in sustainable oil palm cultivation development. This study aimed to identify and evaluate land suitability for oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) cultivation in Gunung Pamela, Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra Province. The research was conducted from September to November 2024 using a survey method with a matching approach between land characteristics from laboratory analysis and field observations against oil palm growth requirements based on FAO (1976) criteria. Parameters analyzed included climatic conditions (rainfall, rainy days, temperature), soil physical properties (texture, drainage, effective depth, slope), and soil chemical properties (pH, C-organic, clay CEC, base saturation). Results showed that annual rainfall reached 3,143.8 mm with a water surplus of 1,783.4 mm, 142 rainy days/year, and average temperature of 26.5°C. Soil characteristics indicated clay loam texture, pH 4.5-5.0, C-organic 0.78%, clay CEC 15.8 cmol/kg, base saturation 18.5%, slope 8-16%, and effective depth 75-100 cm. Actual land suitability was classified as S2 (Suitable) with main limiting factors being low pH (nr), slightly impeded drainage (oa), and slope gradient (eh). Potential land suitability can be upgraded to S1 (Highly Suitable) through acid soil amelioration with liming, drainage system improvement, and organic matter addition. This research provides a scientific basis for sustainable land management and oil palm productivity optimization in Gunung Pamela.

Abstract

Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt.) is a horticultural commodity with high economic value; however, its productivity remains relatively low due to environmental stress and weed competition. Organic mulch is an environmentally friendly technology that can enhance crop productivity, yet the optimal mulch thickness for sweet corn cultivation has not been well established. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of organic mulch thickness on the growth and yield of sweet corn and to determine the optimal mulch thickness. The experiment was conducted using a non-factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four levels of rice straw mulch thickness: M0 (no mulch, 0 cm), M1 (3 cm), M2 (6 cm), and M3 (9 cm). Each treatment was replicated six times. The observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, husked ear weight, unhusked ear weight, and number of kernel rows per ear. The results showed that organic mulch thickness significantly affected all observed parameters. Application of rice straw mulch at a thickness of 6–9 cm effectively improved the growth and yield of sweet corn, with 9 cm being optimal for ear weight and 6 cm being optimal for the number of kernel rows.

Abstract

Corn (Zea mays L.) is an important food commodity that plays a strategic role in meeting the needs for food, feed, and industrial raw materials. Efforts to increase corn production require support from sustainable soil fertility management, one of which is through the use of organic fertilizers. Organic fertilization is known to improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil, thereby supporting optimal plant growth and development. This article aims to review various research findings regarding the effect of organic fertilization on corn growth and yield. The method used was a literature review, reviewing various scientific journals, books, and relevant academic sources. The results indicate that the application of organic fertilizers, such as manure, compost, and liquid organic fertilizers, generally has a positive effect on corn growth. Organic fertilizer application can increase plant height, leaf number, stem diameter, root development, and corn productivity by increasing nutrient availability and soil microbial activity. Furthermore, the use of organic fertilizers also contributes to increasing soil organic matter content and nutrient use efficiency. Based on the review, it can be concluded that organic fertilization is an effective and environmentally friendly alternative to support corn growth and yield. The combination of organic fertilizer and proper cultivation management has the potential to sustainably increase crop productivity and maintain long-term soil quality.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the application of an intercropping system between sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata Sturt) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) practiced by farmers in Dahana Tabaloho Village. The research employed a descriptive case study approach. Data were collected through field observations, farmer interviews, and documentation of cultivation activities. The observed aspects included planting patterns, planting spacing, crop maintenance, fertilization, pest and disease management, and crop yields obtained by farmers. The results indicated that the intercropping system provided more efficient land utilization compared to monoculture systems by allowing two commodities to be cultivated simultaneously on the same land area. Furthermore, the system has the potential to improve land-use efficiency, diversify crop production, and increase farmers' income. However, challenges were identified, particularly competition among plants for light, water, and nutrients when planting arrangements were not properly managed. Therefore, the intercropping system of sweet corn and tomato in Dahana Tabaloho Village can serve as an effective land management alternative to enhance agricultural productivity and farming sustainability.
