Abstract

Purple tomato is the only cultivated tomato containing anthocyanin inside the fruit, while multi-pistil tomato has a unique shape and the ability to be split into smaller parts without damaging the whole fruit. Purple tomato breeding is a new direction of agriculture research to enrich antioxidant fruit, which nowadays is increasingly in demand. The objective of this research was to obtain multi-pistil tomato fruit containing anthocyanin (purple colored), also to discover the inheritance patterns and heritability of qualitative traits related to fruit color and shape obtained from multi-pistil and purple tomato crossing. This research was conducted using seven populations consisted of 2 parental populations (Multi-pistil Tomato and Purple Tomato), 2 first progeny populations (F1 and F1 Reciprocal), 2 backcross populations (BC1.1 and BC1.2), and second progeny population (F2). The result showed that pistil type, unripe fruit color, ripe fruit color, fruit shape and fruit type were inherited autosomally. The inheritance pattern of the traits followed the epistasis gene interaction with moderate to high heritability value.

Abstract

Aflatoxin contamination in groundnut constitutes a serious risk to human and animal health. The efficacy of combining five Trichoderma species and cattle dung in the management of aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus under laboratory and field conditions was evaluated. Trichoderma asperellum, T. hamatum, T. viride, T. harzianum and T. pseudokoningii were bioassayed against A. flavus in vitro, while they were applied in combination with cattle dung in the field experiment. A randomized complete block design was used for field treatments with four replications. Trichoderma containing 2.3×108 cfu/gr was applied as seed treatment, while soil application was done using 2.5 kg/ha of sorghum grains as carrier and 5 t/ha cattle dung. Aflatoxin concentration was quantified using high-performance thin-layer chromatography. There was no significant difference among the treatments in the laboratory experiment. However, T. harzianum was the most effective with 72.3% mycelial inhibition of A. flavus. Seed treatment with combination of T. harzianum and cattle dung was most effective in reducing A. flavus soil population to 1.1×103 cfu/gr, while the combination of T. hamatum and cattle dung produced the highest pod yield of 2.7 t/ha, which was significantly higher than carbendazim fungicide. Therefore, integrated approach is recommended in managing aflatoxin contamination in pre-harvest groundnut.

Abstract

Weeds in the rice fields impact the population of M. vittaticollis and several predators on rice habitat. A study was conducted during rainy season 2004-2005 and dry season 2005, which selective weeding and weed strips were applied. In selective weeding, Monochoria vaginalis, Fimbristylis miliacea, Cyperus iria, and Limnocharis flava were left, and made a weed strip at the periphery of rice plot which was consisted of those four species. Clean weeding as farmers usually do was also applied as a control treatment. Results showed that the presence of weed plant species in the earlier planting season of dry season 2005 tended to maintain the population of the predatory insects of rice pests, in particularly M. vittaticollis and Anaxipha longipennis. Population of Ophionea nigrofasciata, Paederus spp. and Micraspis inops were not different among the treatment plots during rainy season (2004-2005) and dry season (2005). The species number of predator and parasitoids seemed to increase slower in the clean weeded plot in comparing with the species number in selectively weeded or weeds strips plot at early planting season. Rice yield in the experimental plots were not significantly different. Some weeds in the rice fields may not have adverse effects on rice productivity.

Abstract

Visually differentiating banana cultivar with high similarity in shape, color and peel texture requires skill and experience during harvesting to reduce mistake on identifying cultivar. This study aims to identify automatically some similar banana cultivars using banana finger imagery and computer vision. The identification process was carried out to distinguish two groups of bananas with high similarities, namely group 1 (Ambon, Hijau, Goroho) and group 2 (Barlin, Mas). The test was conducted on the pair of datasets of unripe Ambon-Hijau-Goroho, ripe Hijau-Goroho, ripe and unripe Barlin-Mas. Testing was done to determine the performance of identification and to find out the most effective characteristics that could be used as cultivar identification. Results of classification using extreme learning machine (ELM) showed that texture features extracted from local binary pattern (LBP) could accurately distinguish unripe Ambon-Goroho, unripe Goroho-Hijau, ripe Goroho-Hijau with 100% accuracy. While unripe Ambon-Hijau, unripe Barlin-Mas and ripe Barlin-Mas could be optimally distinguished using a combination of shape and peel texture features with accuracy of 93.39%, 89.68%, 99.31% respectively. This result indicated that the proposed method could be used as an alternative of automatic banana sortation during post-harvest. The use of shape and peel texture features had shown effectively differentiating these high similarity banana cultivars.

Abstract

To mitigate the impact of extreme weather incidents, rice cultivars Way Seputih (WS) and Way Apo Buru (WAB) were evaluated under simulation of continuous wind and rainfall treatments. The research was conducted from July to October 2017 at Leuwikopo Experimental Farm, Bogor, Indonesia. For 15 days at day time, flowering rice hills were treated with about 100 mm/h water shower (Experiment-1), and with 0, 10-15, 20-25 and 35-40 km/h wind velocity (Experiment-2). Results showed that wind and rainfall treatments reduced rice production; the effect depended on the genotypes and flowering stage. Rain treatment from panicle emergence to 50%-emerged increased the number of unfilled grains by 154.6-182.3% and 55.7-101.9% in WS and WAB cultivars, respectively. Rain treatment at 100%-emerged had no effect on WS, but it increased unfilled grain (163.5%) and decreased grain index (12.9%) in the WAB cultivar. Wind speed at 35-40 km/h promoted a high percentage of grain drop (25.7%) and unfilled grains (77.3%), and low grain index (20.8 g) in WS genotype. WAB was more tolerant of wind stress than the WS. The present experiment showed that genotype had different responses to wind and rain treatments implying different mitigation strategies should be applied through genotype selection.

Abstract

The genus Cucumis including timun suri, melon and cucumber, is an important horticultural crop of flowering plants. The dispute of timun suri terminology is leading to false-positive results in the nomenclature of timun suri in Indonesia. Although molecular research on these species has been widely conducted, detailed information and precise evidence based on the molecular cytogenetic approach are poorly investigated. The FISH technique was applied to reveal the cytological distinctions among these species. Here, this research conducted physical mapping of 45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) on six accessions of Cucumis. The chromosome number of cucumber is 14 chromosomes, while timun suri and melon are 24 chromosomes. The number of 45S rDNA loci in cucumber, melon and timun suri was highly conserved. All cucumber accessions in this study had nine to ten 45S rDNA loci with strong and weak signal intensities located at proximal regions of the short arms. In melon and timun suri the signals of two pairs of 45S rDNA were located at the terminal and interstitial regions of the short arms. These were clear shreds of evidence to confirm that timun suri was cytogenetically closed to melon instead of cucumber. It confirmed that timun suri cannot be classified as a cucumber

Abstract

Imbalanced use of fertilizers along with inappropriate sources and application methods has attributed to reduced nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and crop productivity. The use of the right N source and appropriate application method is essential to reduce N losses and increase NUE, crop yield, and economic return. A field trial was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Dasharathpur, Surkhet following a randomized complete block design with seven treatments (three replications) using various N sources (urea, urea briquette, and three different blended fertilizers) and their application methods to assess their fertilizing efficiencies. Treatments showed a significant effect (p<0.05) for all the traits viz. plant and ear height, stover and grain yield, harvest index, and thousand-grain weight. Compared to the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), the grain yield advantage of blended fertilizer (10:26:26 NPK) in a combination of Zinc followed by RDF+Zn and urea deep placement (UDP) applied treatments were 7.8, 2.7, and 2.4% respectively. Among all, deep placement of urea briquette was found to be economic for the cultivation of Khumal Hybrid-2 maize variety while producing similar yield (2.4% higher) with 25% lower nitrogen dose, increasing agronomic nitrogen use efficiency by 10.41 kg/kg N, and economic benefit by US$30.4/ha compared to RDF.

Abstract

Peatlands drainage system aimed to eliminate the limiting factors to support better growth of plants. Drainage practices will cause subsidence and be associated with CO2 emission. The purpose of this study was to observe the subsidence rate on tropical peatlands of oil palm plantations at different ages and to establish the percentage of decomposition of peat materials from the subsidence rate. Subsidence was measured in 9-, 12-, and 17-year-old of adjacent oil palm planting blocks with peat thickness of about 5 m and have been drained for 10–18 years, two samples taken for each block every three month. Peat decomposition was measured in the 12-year-old block automatically using LiCor Li-8100A with 30 minutes recording interval. Peat decomposition (heterotrophic respiration) considered as actual CO2 emission was compared to emission calculated from subsidence and considered as potential CO2 emission. The average subsidence rate observed for one year in the three age classes of oil palm plantations was 2.47 ± 0.76 cm/year. The percentage of CO2 emissions from the decomposition process to subsidence on drained 12-year-old oil palm on tropical peatlands was 41.05%. The subsidence data indicates that consolidation still the main process of subsidence in this peatland.

Abstract

Fertilizer originated nitrate excess in vegetables has attracted numerous studies for its effects on food quality. However, the relationship between plant nitrate accumulation and fertilizer-derived nitrogen (FTN) in the soil in continuous research is rarely reported. This study examines the impact of conventional ammonium fertilizer application (50.4 kg/ha) on the constant trend of soil nitrogen and plant nitrate uptake of 8 common leafy vegetables grown in Red Delta River, Vietnam. The vegetables reveal both FTN and plant nitrate took about 17 days to release from topsoil and plant. The trend of FTN is well fitted by a regression model (Decay model, R2=0.945, p<0.001), which shows the nitrogen loss rate of FTN range from 0.120-0.139 g N/day. Meanwhile, the trend of plant nitrate uptake fitted the quadratic equation (R2=0.889, p<0.01). Although the correlation between FTN and plant nitrate is weak, this study finds that autumn crops have a tighter relationship than summer crops (R=0.71 and R=0.46, respectively). It can be concluded that regression models could be suitable methods to observe the behavior of fertilizer nitrogen in soil and vegetable uptake.

Abstract

This investigation aimed to identify the production and composition of crops as feed, classify the types of integrated farming in different locations, and compare dairy goats based on their morphometric characteristics. The data used were collected from July to November, 2021 in the Malang, Lumajang, and Bangkalan regencies of Indonesia, via a survey and direct observations. Descriptive, multivariate, and variance analyses were adopted using RStudio to analyze the collected data. In Malang and Lumajang, farmers adopted agroforestry, alley cropping, and cover crops as the main types of integrated farming. The integrated farming adopted by the farmers in Malang, Bangkalan, and Lumajang helped to explain the differences in forage crops. Calliandra calothyrsus, Indigofera zollingeriana, and Thitonia diversifolia are non-grasses having high levels of average production. In Lumajang, farmers provided only a few combinations with Calliandra which was the most intensively grown crop. In Malang, six crops were combined for the dairy goat feed. Pennisetum purpureum was the crop most intensely grown to feed the PE (Etawa crossbred). In Bangkalan, Pote-Arosbaya goats were fed a combination of eight crops. Moringa oleifera, Bambusa sp., Artocarpus heterophyllus, and natural grasses were the most popular feed crops. In Malang and Lumajang, the PE Singosari and Senduro goats had a high degree of similarity based on their morphometric characteristics, respectively.
