Abstract

The production of Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra (commonly known as baby kai-lan) with nutrient film technique can generally be performed in a relatively short period to get a high selling value of products. This study aims to determine the effect of several types of nutrients and growing media applications on the productivity and quality of baby kailan products. The research involves two test variables (nutrition and planting media) with three variations of plant nutrition and four kinds of growing media. The physical and morphological analysis results provide information on leaf width parameters. Concerning medium, perlite shows the best average yield in each plant variation. Regarding nutrients, product “Z” nutrition has the most substantial influence on the growth of the object of research. The physical and morphological tests show that the average number of leaves in almost all treatments is seven. However, the highest average number of leaves is achieved by treatments using perlite and hydroton growing media with planting nutrients “Z”. The edible weight of the harvest test shows that the treatment combination of perlite and nutrient “Z” has the highest average, i.e., 59 g per plant.

Abstract

Pineapple can be affected by fruit collapse, a disease caused by the bacterium Dickeya zeae. However, adequate fertilization can increase the fruit’s resistance to this illness. Therefore, the impact of preharvest foliar calcium and silicon fertilization on pineapple quality and fruit collapse incidence was assessed in this study. The experiment implemented a split-plot design with two factors. The first factor has two terms of inoculation (flower induction and before harvest). The second factor uses a control with three foliar fertilization treatments, A (control: No foliar fertilizers applied), B (Ca from 13 to 11 weeks before harvest/from 6 weeks to harvest), C (Si from 13 to 11 weeks before harvest/from 6 weeks to harvest), and D (Ca + Si from 13 to 11 weeks before harvest/from 6 weeks to harvest). Treatment D gave the best response. It had the lowest fruit collapse incidence (21.70%), highest ascorbic acid (71.64 mg/kg), elevated β-carotene (4.87 mg/kg) and mineral content (Ca: 1851.10 mg/kg, Si: 1164.87 mg/kg), essentially under the before harvest term of inoculation, which was more harmful for the fruit. In conclusion, mixed foliar calcium and silicon fertilization manage to improve the tolerance to fruit collapse incidence, impacting the pineapple quality positively

Abstract

Chemical insecticides are intensively used in agriculture which cause negative effects on environmental sustainability by increasing pest tolerance and continuous action on local fauna. In contrast to chemical insecticides, biological insecticides target specific pests, minimizing their impact on the surrounding environment. However, most of the natural insecticides available in the market are expensive for farmers in the Central Asian region. This study is the first evidence of the effectiveness of local entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) from the arid zone of northern Kazakhstan that can be used as an alternative to export EPN products. The laboratory experiment is conducted with two local and two commercial Steinernema feltiae and Steinernema carpocapsae, which are applied to larvae of Tenebrionidae. The experiment design is randomized with four doses of EPN (100, 200, 300, and 400 IJ/cm2) and a control (without EPN). According to the experiment results, one out of two local EPNs (AF29 at dose 100 IJ/cm2) caused a high mortality rate (67%) among larvae. This finding confirms that local EPNs can compete with commercial EPNs and potentially be used as insecticidal agents.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the type of mulch material that effectively reduces the risk of erosion on agricultural lands and gives minimum detrimental impacts on water quality. The S12 Advanced Environmental Hydrology System used for rainfall simulator. Rainfall intensity was set up based on the daily annual maximum rainfall data. Meanwhile, the land slope is according to research site contour. This research was designed to compare the conditions of soil without mulch (WM) and Rice Straw Mulch (RSM), Mendong Biogeotextile Mulch (MBM), and Plastic Mulch (PM). The observed quality parameters were Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Statistical analysis involved a three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the aid of SPSS 26 software. Based on the smallest mean values for the amount of surface runoff discharge (mean 1.10), amount of sediment yield (mean 0.650), change in pH (mean 7.48), and TDS (mean 0.24) value, it can be concluded that MBM is the most optimal to be utilized as soil cover for agricultural lands. The performance of MBM is better than RSM and PM.

Abstract

The research attempts to analyze the phytochemical compositions of both the leaves and the cherries of coffee and examine preference through the sensory evaluation of consumers consuming tea products of Robusta coffee from Songkhla, Thailand. The methods used for the phytochemical analysis were conducting an antioxidant content analysis using the Ferric ion reducing antioxidant power method, conducting total phenolic and tannin contents analysis using the Folin-Ciocalteau method, and conducting a total flavonoid content measurement using the aluminum chloride colorimetry method. For the sensory evaluation of tea products (leaves and cherries of coffee), a set of questionnaires was used as the survey observation tools to collect the data from consumers at some coffee and tea shops. The data analysis was using T-test for phytochemical composition and F-test on sensory evaluation. This study shows that Robusta coffee leaves and cherries contained phytochemical compounds of different values. Compared to the cherries, the leaves had higher values of phytochemical compositions. Based on the sensory evaluation of consumers, tea products made from leaves and cherries were highly rated. Coffee cherry tea demonstrated a higher percentage of interest compared with coffee leaf tea.

Abstract

This study aimed to obtain resistance information of S. litura from Karangpawitan and Lembang districts (West Java, Indonesia) against chlorpyrifos insecticides (200 g/l) and their sensitivity to oil mixture of A. indica and C. nardus (1:1) using feeding and topical assay. The activity of acetylcholinesterase, esterase, and glutathione s-transferase from S. litura larvae in both populations were tested to determine their role in insect resistance. Results showed that S. litura population from Lembang had a higher level of resistance to chlorpyrifos compared to Karangpawitan. The sensitivity of the two S. litura populations had a relatively similar resistance ratio (RR) value of less than 1 to botanical insecticide. These indicated that resistant population could be controlled by a mixture of this botanicals insecticide. Enzyme activity test indicated that chlorpyrifos at a concentration of 0.26% could inhibit the acetylcholinesterase activity of insect population from Karangpawitan by 98.66% while those from Lembang, it was only 35.31%. Specific activity of esterase from Karangpawitan was 13.37 units/mg while Lembang population was 119.65 units/mg. The specific activity of the Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) of Karangpawitan population was 1140.82 units/mg while Lembang population was 793.73 units/mg. The high activity of the three enzymes could be responsible for resistance of S. litura larvae to chlorpyrifos.

Abstract

Excessive agricultural waste potentially causes serious pollution issues by farming practices. The potency of Basidiomycota’s fungi to degrade biomass for a safe practice might be considered to cope with this issue. This study aims to determine Basidiomycota fungi’s ability to produce organic acids after being inoculated on cocoa husks at various fermentation periods (20 and 40 days) and evaluate the effect of humic acid from those fermented cocoa husks on the growth and productivity of shallots. This research is carried out in three stages; the first is composting process from cocoa husks. The next is the acid-base extraction of cocoa pod husk compost to produce humic and fulvic acid. And the last is the application of humic acid to shallot plants. The results show that composting for 40 days produced higher levels of humic and fulvic acids. Inoculation with Coprinus sp produced the highest levels of humic acid but is not different with Pleurotus sp. Applying 100 ml/l of humic acid to shallots shows the best growth, while the concentration of 400 ml/l has the best production. This study presents the potential practice of cocoa pod residue and Basidiomycota fungi to increase agricultural commodities’ productivity agents.

Abstract

The growth of entomopathogenic fungi Lecanicillium lecanii is strongly related to the media in increasing the fungi sporulation, enhancing its effectiveness in infecting target pests. This study aims to obtain L. lecanii propagation media with the highest conidia production, and the increased virulence on Cylas formicarius. The first stage of alternative media selection consists of: Potato Dextrose Agar; maize, rice; bran. The second stage of infectivity of the best alternative media consists of 5 treatments in 5 replications: synthetic insecticide (C+); distilled water (C-); 107 conidia/ml; 108 conidia/ml; 109 conidia/ml. The results show that the best colony growth rate is (1.15 mm) on Maize media, and the highest conidia density is (4.2 x 10⁸ conidia/ml) on Maize media is not significantly different from PDA (1.3 x 10⁸ conidia/ml). The best germination rate is (74.31%) on Maize media, and the highest media weight (1.10 g) on Rice media is not significantly different from maize (1.45 g). The infectivity of L.lecanii affect the mortality of C. formicarius (74%) substantially at a concentration of 109 conidia/ml. The LC50 value obtained is 2.6 x 10⁷ conidia/ml. Thus, maize media can be an alternative medium for mass propagation of L. lecanii.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find the characteristics of three PGPR isolates—Azospirillum sp., Bacillus sp., and Pseudomonas sp.: First, by profiling their characteristics in a liquid bioremediation system and secondly by measuring their performance as a bioagent in a soil phytoremediation system using ramie plant (Boehmia niviea L.). A Randomized Block Design in triplicate is used: (1) a Nitrogenfree medium with mineral media containing 1% (wt/v) petroleum hydrocarbons; and (2) 1% (wt/v) glucose medium as control. We tested their petroleum-degrading capacity, nitrogenase activity, phytohormones production, and ramie plant growth. The results showed that both Pseudomonas sp. (98.7%, 81.78% degradation efficiency) and Azospirillum sp. (93.80%, 83.70%) were the superior candidate in both systems. They both show reduced but adequate phytohormone production, managing to improve ramie plant growth. Both also showed reduced but sufficient nitrogen fixing capabilities to improve hydrocarbon degradation activity effectively. Meanwhile, Bacillus sp. has the lowest biodegradation capabilities (84.07%; 78.6%) and lowest nitrogenase activity, while failing to improve plant growth. Therefore Bacillus sp. would be more beneficial in a bacterial consortium where its characteristics (high IAA production) can be coupled with other isolates that can offset its lack of phytohormone or nitrogenase activity.

Abstract

The melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae is serious pest attacks fruits and vegetables. The manipulation of male mating behavior that displays acoustic signals is one of the steps in the behavior-based control strategy of B. cucurbitae. The first study period determines the courtship song characteristics, frequency, and occurrence time. The recording was carried out when B. cucurbitae was mated using recording devices at 04.00–07.00 pm. The results show three sounds produced before copulation, namely, calling, courtship, and stimulating, with frequencies 274.30 ± 3.29 Hz, 284.65 ± 2.00 Hz, and 304.36 ± 1.82 Hz. B. cucurbitae courtship song began at 04.00–06.26 pm. The second study was performed to determine the effect of experimental acoustic playback stimulus on the selection of mating pairs by females. The acoustic playback stimulus is made synthetically by playback of two channels, namely, calling and courtship sounds, with frequencies of 274 and 284 Hz at a sound pressure level (SPL) of 85 dB. The experimental results of acoustic playback stimulus show that the sexual behavior of female B. cucurbitae was disrupted and marked by the decreased number of copulations during SPL is high, resulting in the overlapping calling and courtship sounds frequencies that impair signal detection.
