This research was carried out to verify the CropSyst© plant model from experimental data in a soybean field and to predict planting time along with its potential yield. The researches were divided into two stages. First stage was a calibration for model on field from June to September 2015. Second stage was the application of the model. The required data models included climatic, soil and crop’s genetic data. There were relationship between the obtained data in field and the simulation from CropSyst© model which was indicated by 0.679 of Efficiency Index (EF) value. This meant that the CropSyst© model was well used. In case of Relative Root Mean Square Error (RRMSE), it was shown at 2.68 %. RRMSE value described that there was a 2.68 % error prediction between simulation and actual production. In conclusion, CropSyst© can be used to predict the suitable planting time for soybean and as the result, the suitable planting time for soybean on the dry land is the end of rainy season (2 June 2015). Tanggamus variety is the most resistant variety based on slow planting time, because the decreased percentage of production was lower (8.3 %) than Wilis (26.3 %) and Anjasmoro (43.0 %).

The application of seed hydro-priming as a tool for managing the adverse effect of flooding on seed germination and emergence in rice was studied, along with aerenchyma formation in sections of roots for comparisons between rice subjected to flooded and non-flooded conditions during establishment. Three replicates of three hydro-priming times (0, 24 and 48 h) were used on three cultivars. Seeds were germinated in a growth chamber at 25 o C, 65 % RH, or sown in pots in a controlled temperature glasshouse for the emergence and aerenchyma studies. Aerenchyma formation in root cortical tissues was determined from microscopic images of hand-cut sections at 5 and 50 mm behind the tips of 60-70 mm long nodal roots. The results showed that hydro-priming for both 24 and 48 h significantly hastened germination and emergence. Water seed-priming increased plant height from 20 mm to 40 mm 4 days after sowing. Flooding for 7 days significantly enhanced aerenchyma formation at 50 mm behind the root tips. The results showed that hydropriming for 48 h was the best seed invigoration treatment for shortening the mean emergence time. It hopefully provides seeds an opportunity to escape from the negative effect of flooding on seedling establishment.

Drought is a natural hazard indicated by the decreasing of rainfall and water storage and impacting agricultural sector. Agricultural drought assessment has been used to monitor agricultural sustainability, particularly in East Java as national agricultural production center. Identification of drought characteristics –correlated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and agricultural impact on paddy fields and rice production using VHI (Vegetation Health Index) were conducted. VHI is produced by TCI (Temperature Condition Index) and VCI (Vegetation Condition Index) derived from MODIS satellite data, LST (Land Surface Temperature) and EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index), respectively. The results showed agricultural drought usually started in June, maximum in October and ended in November. Onset and end time drought tends to follow monsoonal rainfall pattern. El Niño 2015 showed long duration of agricultural drought (i.e. ± 5 months), high severity (i.e. mild-extreme drought; VHI 0-40) and areal extent of drought approx. 197,343 km2, while during La Niña 2010 the areal extent was approx. 28,685 km2 with mild-severe drought (VHI 10-40). Impact of agricultural drought on paddy fields showed wider (smaller) areal extent in sub-round 3 (sub-round 1) from September-December (January-April). Areal extent of drought was negatively correlated with rice production (r=-0.79) which significant in 99 % confidence level.

Endophytic fungi have roles to protect the plant from herbivorous insects and diseases, and to support the absorption process of nutrients needed by plants for photosynthesis. Related to the important role of endophytic fungi, research was aimed to identify fungal endophytes associated with young, mature and old leaves on apple and to evaluate the effect of leaf ages on the abundance and diversity of endophytic fungi. The research was conducted in Biological Control Laboratory, Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya from May to September 2016. Apple leaves sampling was done diagonally, and taken from nine apple trees. Based on macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, 38 isolates were identified. In the old apple leaves, it obtained 17 isolates that consisted of 5 genera, mature leaves obtained 14 isolates consisted of 6 genera, and young leaves 7 isolates obtained consists of 2 genera. The mature leaves have highest abundance and diversity of endophytic fungi compared to young and old leaves. Endophytic fungi apple leaf dominated by Aspergillus. Mature and young leaves were different from old one based on Bray-Curtis similarity.

White rust caused by fungal pathogen Puccinia horiana P. Henn. is one devastated disease that could make significant economic loss in chrysanthemum production. The study of effects of varieties, cutting health and fungicide application on chrysanthemum white rust was established. The treatments were arranged in split-split plot completely randomized design with three replications. Three chrysanthemum varieties i.e. cv. Puma White, Reagent Purple and Town Talk served as main plot. Seedlings with 20 % intensity of white rust infection and symptomless functioned as sub plot, while fungicide application on the transplanted cutting (no fungicide) and dithiocarbamate (AntracolR 75 WP, 2 g L-1) application served as sub-sub plot. Result showed genetic background of the cultivars significantly determined the degree of infection of white rust. Reagent Purple exhibited least disease intensities. Fungicide application was less effective in controlling white rust development, yet gave significant impact on the plant height and number of leaves of chrysanthemum plants. Cuttings selection based on the visual observation on the presence or absence of white rust pustules symptom did not gave significant differences on the further development of the disease. The symptomless cuttings were also infected with this fungal disease after the cuttings were planted under plastic house.

Cordyceps militaris is one of entomopathogenic fungi species that is well known to be a traditional medicine in China for decades. Although the pharmaceutical and/or toxic properties of C. militaris has attracted attention as a promising resource for finding bioactive compounds, only a few substances including cordycepin have been reported so far. In the previous report heterologous expression of LaeA, a global regulator for secondary metabolites production in fungi, has been succeeded in C. militaris. The LaeA-engineered transformants are proved to produce new and/or elevated production of secondary metabolites, as detected by HPLC analysis. In order to further characterize the secondary metabolites that were being significantly produced by LaeA transformant, HPLC profiling and structure elucidation by proton NMR were conducted in two target compounds, designated as compound 1 and compound 2. Compound 1 possessed the highly similar characters to insect toxin beauvericin in UV spectrum, molecular weight, and retention time in HPLC analysis. Proton NMR analysis revealed that compound 1 had the same proton signals as beauvericin.

Dimorphorchis lowii is a rare epiphytic orchid endemic to Borneo and very popular due to its ornamental value. For the purpose of mass propagation, procedures for in vitro propagation through callus were developed. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of plant growth regulators (PGRs) on callus induction from leaf tip explant and the effects of complex additives on PLBs formation and shoot development. The best combination of PGR was 3.0 mg L-1 Thidiazuron (TDZ) with 0.046 mg L-1 NAA supplemented in half-strength medium (½ MS) (Murashige & Skoog, 1962). The percentage of survival and callus formation obtained were 96.0 % ± 19.8 and 52.0 % ± 16.5 respectively. Maximum shoot proliferation from PLBs was observed in Knudson C (KC) medium enriched with 15 % (v/v) coconut water. In this treatment, 10.2 ± 6.2 shoots were produced from one callus explant. Shoots were rooted on KC medium containing 15 % (v/v) coconut water and transferred in a medium mixture containing sphagnum moss, charcoal, brick and coco peat with the ratio of 1:1:1:1. After 2 months being acclimatized in the glasshouse, 78 % of plantlets survived. Histology observations showed that embryogenic callus derived from leaf tip explants might originate from epidermis and mesophyll cells and was capable of developing into complete plantlets.

Jajar legowo 4:1 cropping pattern has been adopted by rice farmers; however, there has been limited information on the comparison between internal and edge rows. In addition, the effects of timing and frequency of fertilizer applications on rice cultivated at riparian wetland also have to be understood. In this research, both single and split applications of fertilizer were employed. The single fertilizer applications were applied at 15 days after transplanting (DAT) (T1), 30 DAT (T2), 45 DAT (T3); and the split applications were 15+30 DAT (T4), 15+45 DAT (T5), 30+45 DAT (T6), and 15+30+45 DAT (T7). Results of this research indicated that crops in the edge rows produced higher leaf area index but those at internal rows produced higher dry weight biomass. Split fertilizer application to three times (T7) increased the weight of grains and number of filled spikelet but did not affect other shoot and root growth traits. Overall, fertilizer application increased leaf chlorophyll and nitrogen content. Jajar legowo 4:1 planting pattern and split fertilizer application to three times are recommended for increasing yield in rice cultivated at riparian wetlands.

The study aimed to assess soil biochemical properties and nutrient leaching in palm oil plantation. The research was conducted in smallholder oil palm plantations which were located in Jambi Province - Indonesia. Nutrient leaching was determined by measuring nutrient concentration in soil solution bi-weekly and monthly in the frond stacked and fertilized areas; soil water samples were collected by using suction cup lysimeter. The result showed that the application of mineral fertilizer (e.g. NPK) and dolomite resulted higher base saturation, exchangeable Ca, and available P in the fertilized than frond stacked and inter row areas (p ≤ 0.05). Stacking palm oil frond increased the soil macro-porosity, hence decreased leaching of K, Mg, Na, P, and total Al in the frond stacked than in the fertilized areas. The lower leaching losses and the higher soil macroporosity in the frond stacked than in the fertilized areas indicated that either the water did not dilute nutrient in the soil due to bypass flow, or the nutrient release from mineralization did not surpass nutrient demand which is quickly uptaken by palm root. Proper soil management through synchronizing rate of fertilizer application with nutrient output or frequency of fertilizer application may potentially minimize leaching losses.
