Abstract

The global trade value of Phalaenopsis is still promising; therefore, the prospects for future orchid agribusiness remain widely open. As a part of Indonesian new-variety registration, seeds of the registered variety must meet a quality standard within two years. In addition, a reliable, large-scale supply of uniform seeds is vital to the industry. Research on clonal propagation of Phalaenopsis orchids has been studied for the last three years, but the proliferation rate of PLBs remains unsatisfactory. This might be related to the relatively low temperature of the micro environment. Placing the cultures in the 'acclimatization' room provided with a conducive micro-environment resulted in a significant increase in PLBs/shoots (30-50/explant). It is assumed that the proliferation rate of PLBs/shoots can be increased by setting the optimum exposure time. Two temperature regimes were implemented; the first was a 29-32°C light condition (14 hours) followed by a 22–25°C 10-hour dark period, and the second was the opposite: cooler temperatures during the 14-hour light period (22-24°C) and warmer temperatures during the 10-hour dark period (25-28°C). In this paper, we present the results of an extensive three-year study on the multiplication of the Phalaenopsis orchid, leading to a much shorter orchid crossbreeding scheme.

Abstract

National melon production remains suboptimal due to the crop’s sensitivity to the environment and lack of management practices. This study analyzed the interaction between GA₃ concentration (0, 50, 100, 150 ppm) and application timing (pre-anthesis, anthesis, post-anthesis) on growth, yield, and fruit quality of Fujisawa melon in an NFT hydroponic system. Significant concentration × timing interactions (p<0.05) optimized fruit traits at 100 ppm + anthesis: weight increased by 0.49 kg (24.1%) to 2.03 kg, flesh thickness by 1.33 cm (25.7%) to 5.17 cm, diameter by 1.79 cm (10.9%) to 16.38 cm, and volume by 413 cm³ (21.2%) to 1,950 cm³ vs. control. Regardless of timing, 100 ppm GA₃ accelerated flowering (2.71 days) and harvest (3.87 days) vs. control and increased total soluble solids by 2.33 to 16.33ºBrix. Pre-anthesis application enhanced plant length by 8.57–9.41 cm and hastened flowering by 0.87–0.99 days compared to other timings. Leaf number and fruit cavity were unaffected by either treatment (p>0.05). The regression for fruit traits at anthesis (R²=0.74–0.85) confirmed optimum concentrations of 67.50–138.50 ppm; ≥150 ppm diminished benefits. These findings provide recommendations: 100 ppm GA₃ at anthesis maximizes yield components, 75 ppm at flexible times increases sweetness levels.

Abstract

Formulating a stable para-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD) nanoemulsion requires a balanced ratio of active ingredients and surfactants. Increasing the active ingredient may improve efficacy but can reduce stability, while excessive surfactant levels may cause unwanted foaming during application. This study evaluates the use of a defoamer to improve nanoparticle stability and enhance the biological activity of the formulations against Spodoptera frugiperda. The research was conducted in two stages: (1) characterization of particle stability using the DLS method and (2) evaluation of insecticidal activity through the leaf-dip bioassay. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by the LSD test; LC50 and LC95 values were determined via Probit analysis using POLO PLUS. The addition of a defoamer significantly improved the physicochemical properties and performance of the PMD nanoemulsion. The formulation achieved a refined particle size of 202.2 nm and a PDI of 0.20, both within acceptable nanoparticle standards. At a concentration of 0.25%, the defoamer-enhanced formulation demonstrated superior biological efficacy, including a 0.07% increase in LC95 efficiency and 3.14% growth inhibition. The treatment reduced pupal formation and adult emergence by 8% and altered the sex ratio. The addition of a defoamer improves the physical properties of the nanoemulsion and its biological efficacy against Spodoptera frugiperda.

Abstract

Among abiotic stresses in vegetable production, salt stress is very important. This study was conducted to introduce suitable growing media to reduce salinity effects in hydroponics. So, the pot culture of broccoli was investigated in a factorial experiment. Here, the effects of six different growing media (100% cocopeat, 25% cocopeat + 75% perlite, 75% cocopeat + 25% perlite, 100% perlite, 50% peat + 50% pumice, and 100% sand) and three salinity levels (0, 100, 150 mM NaCl) on broccoli cv. Sakura were examined. Based on the results, salinity caused a decrease in plant performance. However, different salinity levels had varying effects. When the chlorophyll content and Ca, K, and Fe concentrations in plant leaves decreased as a result of high salt levels, the broccoli yield decreased. The different growing media exhibited highly distinct performances. Due to the substantial interactions between the growing media and salt, it is possible to regulate the media factors to lessen the effects of salinity on plants. Perlite did not support the growth of broccoli, but it did hasten the plants' early flowering times. It was discovered that among the growing media, the optimal medium in both saline and non-saline treatments was 50% peat + 50% pumice. Accordingly, this growing medium is recommended for broccoli production.

Abstract

Rice straw burning in the open field remains a dominant activity in Singosari District, Malang Regency, Indonesia. This has several negative impacts on environmental quality and organism health, yet the implementation continues due to its perceived cost-effectiveness. The results and relevance of this article are based on findings from research conducted using a mixed-method design, including surveys, in-depth interviews, and ethnographic fieldwork. The result also shows that most smallholders (58.1%) still burned rice straw, but most of them (96.8%) would adopt green technology if they received sufficient support and facilitation. The research also indicates that farmers employing alternative methods to burning receive a 10-14% boost in yields, a good sign of what sustainability can do for food production. The major barriers to the adoption of green technology were: ignorance and lack of training (67.7%), cost of equipment (16.1%), non-availability of appropriate technology (9.7%), time constraints (6.5%), and lack of policy implementation. This study suggests that rice straw could be used as animal feed, compost, and biomass energy to mitigate pollution and meet productivity demands.

Abstract

The global increase in cassava bacterial blight disease (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) has been leading to the investigation of new strategies to tackle this problem. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial potential of 30 soil Streptomyces strains by initial screening against Xam, isolated from infected cassava leaves. The isolates demonstrating the strongest inhibitory effects were selected to extract their methanolic secondary metabolites following practical antibacterial biocontrol assessment.  This was done by treating infected cassava plants with the methanolic extracts and monitoring for 14 days. The results showed that, among the 30 soil streptomyces strains, two isolates, encoded BEL_12 and KER_2, exhibited strong inhibitory effects. Their methanolic extracts showed inhibitory activity against Xam, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 32 µg/ml for BEL_12 and 2 µg/ml for KER_2. The CBB incidence on cassava leaves KER_2 and BEL_12 methanolic extracts was 24% and 88%, respectively. This study demonstrated the remarkable potential of Cameroonian soil Streptomyces spp. to produce bioactive compounds that suppress CBB and lay the basis for developing sustainable, eco-friendly biocontrol agents to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides in affected regions.

Abstract

Patchouli produces essential oils, which are a crucial raw material for various industries, but its main limitation is its low essential oil content and yield. Water management, integrated with the use of beneficial microorganisms, serves as an alternative strategy. This study aims to evaluate the single and dual application of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on the growth and essential oil production of patchouli under different Soil Water Content (SWC) levels. A two-factor factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. The first factor was SWC levels (100, 75, 50, and 25% Field Capacity (FC)). The second factor was bioinoculant treatments (no inoculation (control), PGPR, AMF, and PGPR+AMF). The results showed that PGPR+AMF at various SWC levels improved growth and essential oil yield up to 96-190%. A reduction in growth was observed starting at 50% FC, as indicated by the number of leaves (>35%), leaf area (>44%), and plant dry weight (>32%). SWC at 75% FC resulted in 18% higher Water Use Efficiency (WUE) than 100% FC, while PGPR+AMF inoculation increased WUE up to 66%. In conclusion, maintaining SWC at 75% FC and treating the plant with PGPR+AMF inoculations optimized patchouli essential oil yield.

Abstract

This research was conducted at the Faculty of Plantation and Agrotechnology, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) from February to May 2021. The study objectives were to determine the effects of environmental factors, water limitation (WL) and high temperature (HT), on yield production and seed quality development of aerobic rice cv. MRIA 1. The seed was cultivated in a glass house (25/45°C min/max) and subjected to 3 days of WL and HT (25/40ºC 12 photoperiod) at different seed development stages [8, 14, 21, and 28 days after anthesis (DAA)] with four replications. Plants treated from 21 to 28 DAA showed tolerance to WL and HT, while the detrimental effect occurred at 8 DAA and 14 DAA. Normal germination (>90%) was obtained from the control, and the plant had reached physiological maturity at 21 and 28 DAA. As plant treated to environmental stress, the amylose concentration obtained ranges from 9 to 14%. The lowest seed longevity (p50) obtained from plants treated at 14 DAA recorded only 3 days, and the longest was from control seed obtained for 26 days. In conclusion, exposing cv. MRIA to HT and WL at late maturation stage has less effect on yield production and seed quality development.

Abstract

Hoya carnosa (L.) R. Br. propagation is conventionally less efficient, and the amount produced is low. This study aims to determine the influence of hormone type and concentration on changes in cell structure and the phase of somatic embryogenesis of the Hoya plant in vitro. The study was conducted in two stages, namely the first stage of callus induction with a combination of BAP (0.4 mg/l, 0.5 mg/l, 0.6 mg/l) and 2,4-D (5 mg/l, 6 mg/l, 7 mg/l) and the second stage of somatic embryogenesis with a combination of BAP hormones (0.5 mg/l, 1.0 mg/l, 1.5 mg/l) and IBA (0.25 mg/l, 0.5 mg/l, and 0.75 mg/l). The data were analyzed using ANOVA and further analyzed by using DMRT. Based on the results, the combination of BAP 0.4 mg/l and 2,4-D 7 mg/l hormones showed the best growth with the parameters of the appearance of callus at 23 days, callus weight 2.92 g, and embryogenic calluses formed with crumb texture and greenish-yellow color. The combination of BAP 1 mg/l and IBA 0.75 mg/l resulted in the frequency of budding emergence of 23.3 days and the number of tendrils 20.7. This treatment was able to produce 5 roots and 2 shoots.

Abstract

Soil degradation due to water erosion in arable land is a common threat to soil fertility and sustainable food production. Therefore, an accurate assessment of soil water erosion is crucial. The conventional Sobolev method for assessing water erosion shows consistent data over decades of soil erosion monitoring, which may underestimate the current impact of water erosion on soil in the dry steppe zone of northern Kazakhstan. In this study, five methods for estimating land cover loss were evaluated: Sobolev, geometric cross-sectional area calculation, photogrammetry, LiDAR surveying, and satellite imagery. The LiDAR surveying showed the greatest accuracy compared with Sobolev, with total channel volumes of 84.54 m3 and 33.21 m3, respectively. The findings of this study indicate that existing official soil erosion survey data, due to the low precision of conventional field-based and manual measurement techniques, underestimate the extent of water erosion in the steppe zone of northern Kazakhstan. These results highlight the importance of integrating advanced remote sensing and geospatial methods to monitor soil water erosion in croplands in the dryland steppe zone.
