Abstract

Salinity as a global challenge is a very complex issue in agricultural food production. In this study, the growth characteristics of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum var. crusader) were evaluated under higher Electrical Conductivity (EC) (5 dS/m) induced by NaCl, KCl, K₂SO₄ or “All Nutrients” of Hoagland nutrient solution. The standard Hoagland solution (with EC 1.8 dS/m) was used as the control. The results showed that EC5 induced by NaCl resulted in the most negative effects on growth, yield and fruit quality parameters. Application of KCl (to induce EC5) also resulted in some reduction in growth parameters. However, application of K₂SO₄ and particularly “All Nutrients” (to induce EC5) resulted in better growth characteristics compared to plants treated with NaCl or KCl salts. There was a significant reduction in growth and fruit quality traits including plant height, leaf SPAD value, fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots, fruit fresh yield, fruit total soluble solids (TSS) and vitamin C content by NaCl and to lesser extent by KCl. However, there was no significant reduction in these traits by “All Nutrients” and for some traits by K₂SO₄ application compared to control plants.

Abstract

Rainwater harvesting is a water conservation measures. Water is harvested in addition to reducing runoff, and erosion control can be used as a supplemental source of irrigation for crops on marginal land. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a small pool of rainwater harvesting usually termed as a small farm reservoir (SFRs) as a complementary source of irrigation water in improving the productivity of farming on marginal land. The experiment was conducted from December 2005 to August 2007 in Buanasakti, East Lampung, Indonesia. Three SFRs with a volume of 7 x 3 x 2.5 m (50 m3 were made ​​on upland at sloping area (8-15%) of ​​1.5 ha. Further rain was deposited to be used by farmers for crop watering, especially in the early dry season. Extensive planting of crops that can be irrigated with SFRs, based on consideration of the farmers themselves. Observation result indicated that the SFRs were used by the farmers to water the vegetables and tobacco plants with different extents. However, on average, the presence of SFRs increased the planting area of vegetables such as beans and cucumbers in the dry season to 650%. Increased intensity of cultivation of vegetables and tobacco cultivation also increase farmers' income of 1.5 ha of marginal land as much as 37.49%.

Abstract

Cladosporium is a promising mycoparasite to control white rust disease in chrysanthemum. The research was conducted to evaluate several collected Cladosporium isolates against P. horiana, their parasitism mechanism and population dynamic in a production cycle. The experiment was carried out at the Indonesian Ornamental Crops Research Institute (IOCRI) from January to December 2015. Ten Cladosporium isolates with two synthetic fungicides and one negative control were designedly sprayed on chrysanthemum cv White Fiji. The results showed that Cladosporium isolates gave varied suppression to white rust intensity. Isolates HNC, DC, SGC and UC had higher parasitism and suppression intensities than other isolates and their effectiveness was the same as synthetic fungicides. Longer flower vase life was produced from Cladosporium and synthetic fungicide treated plants, while flower stalk and diameter were less affected by the Cladosporium applications. The population dynamic of Cladosporium was accordingly responded with the rust intensity in Cladosporium-treated plants. The parasitizing mechanism of Cladosporium to P. horiana was through teliospores envelopment resulted in the changes of teliospores morphology.

Abstract

The intensive and continuous collection of rhinoceros beetles, Oryctes rhinoceros L. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), is an extraordinary strategy in IPM (Integrated Pest Management). This study was intended to evaluate the potency of people in collecting larvae and to determine the age structure of the beetle population. The study was conducted in Asahan Regency, North Sumatera Province. Adult men, adult women, adolescent girls, and adolescent boys collected beetles for 2 hours in each breeding site. Results showed that the beetle was more significant abundant in decomposed trunks at plots of immature and mature palms than at heaps of the empty fruit bunches namely 236, 221 and 93 individuals/2 hours. The population age-structure showed significantly predominant of 2nd and 3rd instars in all breeding sites, i.e. eggs, 1st instars, 2nd instars, and 3rd instars, pupae, adult males, and adult females were 2.02, 23.29, 21.39, 47.06, 3.17, 0.86, and 2.21%, respectively. Adult men, adult women, and adolescent boys had similar potency in collecting 3rd instar larvae while the least amount was collected by the adolescent girls viz. 70, 85, 60, and 38 larvae/2 hours, respectively. It is suggested that the study results support future efforts in the sustainable control of rhinoceros beetle through collecting larvae for commercial utilization.

Abstract

Fifteen jatropha lines were obtained from complex crossing between progenies derived from interspecific hybridization of Jatropha curcas and J. integerrima. They were evaluated for variability and association in yield, yield components, oil content, fatty acid composition, phorbol esters content, and growth characters. The major fatty acids in seed were oleic and linoleic acids, with a negative correlation among them. Seed yield showed a positive correlation with number of fruits per inflorescence and seeds per fruit, 100 seed weight and canopy size. A path coefficient analysis showed that number of fruits per inflorescence and canopy width had high positive direct relationship with seed yield per plant. Most characters showed high broad-sense heritability. Clustering by traits classified the breeding lines into five groups with a large distance between groups. The members in each group comprised lines of the same or similar pedigrees. Cluster I was the high seed yield group comprising two accessions (KUJL23 and KUJL18). Clustering based on principle components classified them into four groups. The lines in cluster II and III from cluster analysis were included in one group, while members of the other groups were the same in both clustering methods.

Abstract

For this research, an application of cyanobacteria Nostoc sp. SO-A31 as a nitrogen source for the growth of water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica L.) was carried out using a modified Deep-Water Culture (DWC) hydroponic system, outdoors. A Hoagland medium was used for the growth medium, with the absence or presence of ammonium and nitrate as the nitrogen sources. A 0.7 g fresh weight biomass of 21-day-old Nostoc sp. SO-A31 was inoculated into the system. The four treatment media for this study were HA0 (Hoagland, ammonium free+inoculant), HN0 (Hoagland, nitrate free+inoculant), HA0N0 (Hoagland, ammonium free and nitrate free+inoculant), and HI (Hoagland with ammonium and nitrate +inoculant). AB-mix and complete Hoagland media were used as controls. The result showed that water spinach cultured on HA0 had good vegetative growth, as shown by the high yield of biomass, high number of leaves, high stem growth, and long roots. Inoculation of Nostoc sp. SO-A31 elongated the root of the water spinach plants in all treatments. The presence of Nostoc sp. SO-A31 in the complete Hoagland medium, though, caused chlorosis of the water spinach leaves. This study suggests that water spinach is a nitrate-dependent leafy vegetable.

Abstract

The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens can cause direct damage and transmit rice diseases.  Beauveria bassiana is used to control BPH, however the success of the fungal efficacy on rice fields is affected by external factors, such as temperature. This research aimed to evaluate the conidial viability and density of B. bassiana isolates from Java and Sumatra, exposed to 25 and 34°C and their virulence against BPH nymphs. Twenty six isolates of B. bassiana cultures incubated at 25 and 34°C for 7 days were observed on their conidial density, viability, and  virulence against BPH nymphs. The incubation temperature of 34°C was able to decrease conidial density and viability, and virulence of the isolates.  However, some isolates of B. bassiana originated from soils or insects in Sumatra, especially from South Sumatra still produced high conidial density and viability as well as high virulent against BPH nymphs, such as TS1D3A, TSID3B, TS1D2A and TS1D2B isolates. The TS1D2B isolate incubated at 34°C still caused the highest percentage of BPH mortality (43.33%)  among other isolates. Therefore, the isolates can be used as promosing candidate for  biocontrol for N. lugens on rice planted in tropical ecosystem, such as wetland or lowland rice ecosystems in Indonesia.
