Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biofield treatments on the growth and physiology of lettuce and bok choy plants. Energy art pieces and water treated by energy art were used as biofield treatments. Overall, both the lettuce and bok choy plants exposed to a combination of energy art and energy art-treated water were significantly larger in terms of leaf and root growth than those in the other treatments. Clear improvements in the vegetative growth of these plants were found, as seen in the significantly higher number of leaves, leaf dry mass, and leaf area. Furthermore, the highest chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were detected in lettuces and bok choy cultivated in the energy art and energy art-treated water treatments, respectively, which were significantly higher than those grown in the control. Moreover, the photosynthetic efficiency of the lettuce and bok choy plants exposed to the energy treatments were improved significantly. The results of this study demonstrated significant effects of biofield in the form of energy art and energy art-treated water on hydroponically-grown lettuce and bok choy plants. Biofield treatments such as energy art can be used as an alternative approach to improve plant growth and yield.

Abstract

Environmental condition plays an important on ginger production and its quality especially gingerol. Ginger exploration from various environmental conditions was carried out to obtain collection of ginger accessions that potentially developed as superior quality planting material. The study was aimed to assess the productivity and quality of gingers from different topography. The explorations of ginger accession was conducted in low-mid land and upland  area within Java island, Indonesia from June to August 2018. A total of 24 ginger accessions were collected, consisting of 11 big white ginger, 8 small white ginger, and 5 red ginger. Differences in environment condition (i.e topography) affected ginger productivity and gingerol content. The highest productivity of ginger for big white ginger, red and small white ginger were 32, 15 and 23 t/ha, respectively. The gingerol content was higher in red ginger (4-5%) than big white (3-4%) and small white (1%) gingers. However, there were two accessions of small white ginger contained gingerol above the average accessions of small white ginger, as well as higher than big white (4%) and red gingers (6%). Overall, land characteristics controlled yield and diameter of ginger rhizome through soil properties both chemical (e.g CEC) and physical (e.g soil texture).

Abstract

Indonesia has a variety of eggplant germplasms and is considered as one of the largest producing countries in the world. The study was conducted to assess the variation of 21 accessions and 2 commercial cultivars of eggplant from Indonesia based on 30 macromorphological and 8 leaves micromorphological characters. Cluster analysis was conducted by UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Methods with Arithmetic averages) to create a dendrogram and construct eggplants grouping. PCA (Principal Component Analysis) was also performed to define the role of each character in the group by using MVSP (Multivariate Statistical Program) v.3.1 software. Results showed that eggplant accessions have macromorphological variation in fruit curvature, fruit shape, fruit apex, and fruit color, as well as leaves micromorphological characters such as the epidermal wall, trichome shape, and stomata type. Dendrogram based on macromorphological characters divided the accessions into 2 groups: curved and non-curved fruit groups. The non-curved fruit group divided into more spiny and less spiny leaves sub groups. Dendrogram based on leaves micromorphological characters divided the accessions into 2 groups based on the epidermal wall, trichome shape, and stomata type. Eggplant grouping doesn’t occur based on the origin of collection areas indicating that its variability isn’t affected by the environment.

Abstract

Differences in land use systems may resulted in different soil cover, litter input, and soil management practices, and consequently affect to soil nutrient stock. The study aimed to assess soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storages on various soil depths from difference land use systems within UB forest. The research was conducted in UB forest, Malang – Indonesia, from April to November 2017. Soil sample was collected from four soil depths (0-0.1, 0.1-0.3, 0.3-0.5, and 0.5-1.0 m) within five land use systems, including (1) protected area; (2) pine + coffee; (3) pine + crops; (4) mahogany + coffee and (5) mahogany + crops, each with three replicate plots. Soil C and N concentrations, soil texture, and bulk density, were measured. The study showed significant difference in soil C and N storages among land use systems. In 0.5 m depth of soil, soil C and N storages was higher in protected area (64% and 53%, respectively) as compared to other land use systems. The result support clay content controls soil C and N stock, whereas vegetation determines soil N stocks. Therefore, proper management in vegetation and soil were needed to conserve soil C and N storages.

Abstract

The presence of organisms in soil play a pivotal role in the health of a ground ecosystem. Diversity and abundance of soil organisms are mainly influenced by soil characteristics and condition of above-ground habitat. This research aimed to study the diversity of arthropods in topsoil of soybean field and investigate factors that affect the abundance and interaction of dominant arthropods. Field research was conducted in three different locations in Malang District, Indonesia. A sampling of arthropods was focused in the topsoil of soybean fields in the soil surface and below-ground. Results found that three dominant taxa of arthropods in the topsoil of soybean field i.e. collembolan, ants, and mites. Different location of soybean field did not affect the species richness and abundance of the dominant arthropods, except the ant abundance. In contrast, soil strata was altered the abundance of collembolan and mites, but not ants. Based on the GLM (generalized linear model), organic matter had a positive relationship with the abundance of collembolan and ants. The abundance of collembolan and ants also had a relationship with mites, yet not vice versa. In conclusion, organic matter in the soybean field supports not only the abundance of arthropod but also their covariation.

Abstract

Frond and leaflet residues from pruning of oil palm which are applied as mulch on oil palm plantation will decompose and can be source of organic matter and some essential nutrients. Information about how much the released nutrients from the decomposition processes of frond and leaflet of oil palm is limited. The objective of this research was to study the period (two years) patterns of nutrient release and decomposition of frond and leaflet of oil palm at different burial depth (0 to 30 cm) in peat soil. Decomposition of frond and leaflet of oil palm did not have a different pattern in mass loss, chemical content changes of C/N, N content, P content, P released, however, it has different pattern in N released. During two years of decomposition, frond and leaflet lost 88% and 86% of its initial weight and released 51% and 83% of N, also it released P 87% and 93% respectively. Frond and leaflet from pruning of oil palm should be returned to plantation area for one source of nutrients beside fertilizer.

Abstract

Traditional farmers do seeds storage simply by putting it on the floor of their home without a specific treatment. The seed quality testing carried out in several varieties was stored at room temperature with open packaging condition to determine the viability and vigor. The experiment was conducted in ICERI, Maros, South Sulawesi from May 2014 to January 2015. Research was arranged in a randomized complete design with four replications. Seeds were taken from ICERI seed storage warehouse. Furthermore, seeds were stored in temperature room with an open packaging condition. Parameter observations conducted on moisture content of seed, 1000-grain weight, electrical conductivity, germination, growth rate, primer root length and shoot length. Stored period of seeds in an open package at room temperature shelf life was strongly influenced by previous seed storage and seed weight of current variety. Seed that had long been stored in storage shed and small seed weight would accelerate the decline of physiological seed quality, especially growth rate and percentage of germination. Storage of seeds in an open package at room temperature could maintain quality of the seeds up to 3 months with large grain weight on the varieties and the low water content of the initial storage.

Abstract

Illegitimacy is a factor negatively affecting controlled pollination in Elaeis guineensis breeding programs and it may happen in any step of hybridization processes, starting from early stages of parent selection and labeling to the last stage of the replicated field trial. Availability of method for testing the existence of illegitimacy among progenies of oil palm is beneficial. Four half-sib family populations consisted of 83 individuals were evaluated. Sixteen loci of SSR markers were utilized to genotype plant materials and identify illegitimate individuals. The legitimate parents and illegitimate progenies were evaluated using CERVUS and COLONY softwares. The results showed that the 16 SSR marker loci evaluated were having medium to high PIC values and they were both informative and suitable for parent-offspring analysis. The results also showed that the 16 SSR markers were sufficient for the illegitimacy testing using the COLONY software. Moreover, this study did not find any illegitimate individual among the four progeny populations. The generated SSR marker data were also successfully used to assign and to reconstruct the expected pedigree of the progenies. This can be used as an example of molecular marker utilization to improve the integrity of breeding program of oil palms.

Abstract

Population dynamic information and its influence factors are basic need for the best insect strategic control. This research objective was to descript and compare thrips S. dorsalis population dynamic on mango and associated weeds under low and intensive cultural practices. Reseacrh was conducted in PT. Trigatra Rajasa mango plantation in Ketowan, Arjasa, Situbondo, East Java, Indonesia from February 2014 to January 2015. The investigation was done through observation of S. dorsalis number associate on each mango growth stages and weeds under the canopy of mango. Arithmetic and descriptive method were applied to ensure the population oscillations pattern among phenological stages of mango and weeds under mango tree canopy. Result showed that population fluctuation of S. dorsalis was determined by growth stages of mango trees and the availability of initial built up of population. Flush growth stage was the most preferred stage which had high input agricultural practices such as fertilizer and tree conditioning and was supported for more numbers of thrips. Weeds Desmanthus leptophyllus, Achalypha indica, Azadirachta indica and Tephrosia vogelii were functioning as breeding habitat for early built-up population on mango trees. Climate factors especially rainfall was also affected population fluctuation of S. dorsalis on mango trees and weeds.
