Abstract

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is the third most essential legume crop commodity after soybeans and peanuts. Mung bean production faced problems of nutrient-poor land and soil texture that does not support soybean growth. The solution to overcome these obstacles is the application of mycorrhizae in nutrient-poor soils. This study aimed to determine the effect of various inoculums and mycorrhizal doses on growth and production in mung beans. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with nine treatments and three replications. The research included mycorrhizal inoculation with various treatments, as well as observations with variable plant height, plant biomass, number of pods, wet weight and dry weight of pods, the weight of 50 wet and dry seeds, mycorrhizal infection in roots, and number of spores in 100 gr of soil. The data were analyzed by SPSS 15.0 program for ANOVA. The results indicated that granular (30 gr) had the highest plant height of (41.33 cm), crown weight (30.69 gr), number of pods, wet and dry pod weight is 13.66, 9.84 gr, and 8.86 gr, respectively, 50 kg of wet and dry weight (3.82 and 3.20) and the highest effect on the number of spores at 29.33. The 30 gr tablets treatment showed the highest results on root weight (22.98 gr), while the 30 gr mixture showed the highest results on the percentage of infection (73.33%).

Abstract

Red chili is one of the main commodities in Indonesia. Aphid (Aphis gossypii) is one of the pests that cause damage to the red chili plant. A. gossypii attacks require control measures using plant-based pesticides from the leaves and sunflowers of Mexico. This study aimed to determine the toxicity of leaves and flower of T. diversifolia extracts against A. gossypii. This research consisted of five concentrations (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9%) and four replications. The LC50 and LT50 were calculated by using probit analysis of the Hsin Chi program. The results showed that the Tithonia diversifolia flower extract had higher toxicity than the leaf extract of 0.48%, which could cause the death of A. gossypii by 50%, while the leaf extract had a concentration of 0.55%. The flower extract caused the fastest 50% mortality (37.42 hours), while leaf extract was 65.63 hours. The leaf and flower extracts can also reduce the number of A. gossypii offspring.

Abstract

Cabbage is one of the commodities that mostly cultivated in Indonesia, but the cabbage farmers often suffered losses because of pests' attack. The important pests on cabbage is Plutella xylostella. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness level of an insecticide with active ingredient carbaryl 85% in controlling P. xylostella which attacks cabbage and its impact on the parasitoid of Diadegma sp. This research uses a randomized block design with six treatments and four replications. The treatments were different concentrations of the insecticide carbaryl 85%. The testing on Diadegma sp. used two methods, directly and indirectly test (residual exposure). The carbaryl 85% was not effective in controlling P. xylostella, but the population was decreasing. The carbaryl 85% with the highest effect in reducing P. xylostella population was 3.0 g/l. The carbaryl 85% did not affect on the mortality of natural enemies (Diadegma sp. parasitoid) after direct and indirect test.

Abstract

Soybean Glycine max L. Merrill has a strategic position in food security. Soybean varieties are various, such as edamame or commonly called vegetable soybean. The important edamame pest is L. indicata. This pest has a natural enemy in the form of parasitoids that spread at several altitudes. This study aimed to investigate the L. indicata pest population and their parasitoid  in edamame soybean plantations at three different altitudes. In this study conducted at three altitudes namely Purwosari (12 masl), Sebanen (814 masl), and Karangbireuh (1295 masl). At each location consist of one plot (1 Ha) and were  made into 4 sub-plots exchanging 10 x10m. Also, the yellow pan trap was installed at  8–57 Day After Planting to collect L. indicata and parasitoid. The results showed that L. indicata was higher in Purwoasri than in other locations. This is due to environmental factors namely temperature. The parasitoid of L. indicata was found in all locations, namely Braconidae family (parasitoid of larvae). While the the paarasitoid were collected in yellow pan trap in all locations i.e. Pteromalidae, Diapriidae, Eulophidae, Mymaridae and Entomacis sp.

Abstract

Chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a horticultural commodity that has high economic value and has the potential as an export commodity. One of the factors causing the decrease in productivity of chilli pepper is anthracnose caused by C. gloeosporioides. Consequently, plant-based fungicides might be served as eco-friendly alternatives to control C. gloeosporioides. This study aimed to invesitigated the effect of plant extracts from clove flowers, fennel seeds, basil, sweet basil, and citronella on growth inhibition of C. gloeosporioides in-vitro and in-vivo. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The five plant extracts were able to inhibit the growth of the pathogen C. gloeosporioides in vitro and in vivo. The highest inhibition of the pathogen C. gloeosporioides was basil extract treatment in-vitro compared to the control treatment. The in-vivo treatment, the lowest growth of C. gloeosporioides in fennel extract and was significanly different compared to the control treatment.

Abstract

Herbicides are a substance or chemical compound used to inhibit growth or kill plants. Herbicides are toxic to weeds or pests as well as cultivated plants. The impact of using the herbicide paraquat causes some microbes to become more resistant and has the potential to be used as a paraquat biodegradation agent. Indigenous yeast is one of the microbes that can be used as a biodegradation agent because it is resistant to the environment. For this reason, This research aimed to investigate the indigenous yeast isolated from the potato field in Sumberbrantas village, Batu City as a bioremediation agent for paraquat herbicide residues.The sampling was carried out in the potato field of Sumberbrantas, Batu City, which in routine maintenance uses a herbicide with active paraquat (1,1 dimethyl -4, 4-bipyridinium dichloride).The isolation results obtained 6 isolates of indigenous yeast which had the potential as biodegradation agents for paraquat. Treatment of yeast isolates MB 1, MB 3, MB 4, MB 6, MB 7, MB 8 at concentrations of 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 paraquat were able to survive with a growth percentage of 75-100%. At a concentration of 5,000 Isolated yeast decreased with a growth percentage of 50-75% and MB 1 isolate with 10,000 ppm concentration still survive with a growth percentage of 1-25%. The highest biodegradability ability of yeast was in MB 1. The identification of MB 1 isolates based on molecular characters have similarities in the basic structure of 98.89% with Geotrichum silvicola UFMG 354-228S isolates with accession number NG_0606221.1.

Abstract

Endophytic fungi are fungi that inhabit the internal tissues of plant and belong to a group of microorganisms reported to have beneficial effects on plants. In this study, three endophytic fungi isolated from rice plant tissue were identified as Trichoderma asperellum, Curvularia chiangmaiensis, dan Fusarium solani. These three fungi have the ability to produce IAA between 3.03 to 6.00 µg/mL. For phosphate solubility assay, all endophytic fungi showed a clear zone around the colonies in Pikovskaya medium and could dissolve phosphate in the range of 2.74 to 17.61 µg/mL. In addition, in vivo observations of the inoculation endophytic fungi can reduce the intensity of blast disease in rice plant. So that, it can be seen that the three fungal isolates can become plant growth promoting fungi and can also used as bicontrol agents for blast disease in rice plant.
