Abstract

To investigate the impact of pre-treating on mineralized nitrogen production, we carried out an anaerobic incubation following five pre-treatment sets: (1) 5 g soil/50 ml water (Control), (2) 5 g soil/50 ml water/80℃/ 4 hours (Hot water), (3) 2.5 g soil/50 ml water/80℃/4 hours + 2.5 g soil (Mixed hot water), (4) 5 g soil/ 50 ml water/ultrasound 37 Hz/30 minutes (Ultrasound), and (5) 2.5 g soil/50 ml water/ultrasound 37 Hz/30 minutes + 2.5 g soil (Mixed ultrasound). Inorganic nitrogen was extracted before incubation (Initial In-N) and after 4 weeks of anaerobic incubation (Total Min-N and Net Min-N). The results reveal that Initial In-N ranged from 21.8 to 23.5 mg N/kg and was similar among four pre-treatment methods. Interestingly, Net Min-N was promoted by heating hot water; meanwhile, ultrasound pre-treatment did not enhance soil mineralization potential. This indicates that pre-treating soil with hot water could be a promising method to enhance soil nitrogen mineralization.

Abstract

Salinity affects 800 million hectares of agricultural soils in the world and represents a serious concern for crop production. The soils of the San Jacinto de Yaguachi canton (Guayas province, Ecuador), where rice has traditionally been grown with low yield, are characterized as saline. This research aimed to evaluate the agronomical performance and yield of five commercial rice varieties (INIAP FL-Arenillas, SFL 011, INIAP 14, INIAP 11, and Fedearroz 60) grown in a saline soil amended with leonardite (150 kg/ha). A randomized complete block design was used in a split-plot arrangement with three repetitions; the leonardite amendments corresponded to the main plot, and the rice varieties to the sub-plots. At harvest time, in the amended plots, increments in plant height, number of tillers, panicle number and length, number of grains per panicle, grain weight, and yield were obtained. Nutrient uptake also increased in the amended plants, with the sole exception of phosphorus, which responded poorly to the treatment. Under these conditions, it is concluded that the use of the leonardite amendment can be an effective practice for obtaining significantly higher rice production in saline soils.

Abstract

Brazilian spinach is a highly nutritious leafy vegetable containing vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. This study assesses the impact of pruning intensities and non-nutrient ameliorants on Brazilian spinach growth in a floating cultivation system. The research follows a factorial randomized block design, with pruning intensity as the first factor and non-nutrient ameliorant as the second factor. Pruning intensity was categorized as light, moderate, and heavy, while the non-nutrient ameliorant included control, fine sand, rice-husk biochar, and fine sand + rice-husk biochar. The results show that moderate and heavy pruning effectively improved the response to NPK fertilization. Moderate pruning is proven to trigger the canopy area, especially starting 2 to 4 weeks after pruning. The Brazilian spinach canopy area demonstrated exponential growth and positively correlated with canopy diameter. The photosynthesis distribution in branch and shoot on moderate pruning was higher than heavy pruning, as indicated by dry weight. Moderate pruning produced a higher marketable yield than other pruning intensities. Regarding non-nutrient ameliorants, there are similarities in SPAD value, canopy area, index, dry weight, and yield. Therefore, moderate pruning is an effective practice to improve the growth and yield of Brazilian spinach, while the selected non-nutrient ameliorants have no impact.

Abstract

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been detailed to affect soil microbial exercises or community composition. There is a lack of information on the degree to which PGPR as a biofertilizer concurrently influences the action, estimate, and composition of the soil microbial community. This research investigated the impacts of the timing and frequency of PGPR application as biofertilizers on the rhizosphere bacteria community in arable soil. We compared four treatments in an experimental field site, namely: one-time treatment of PGPR at the beginning of planting (P1), twice treatment of PGPR (P2), 15-days of planting (DP), and 30-DP (P3); and without treatment of PGPR (WP). A total rhizosphere bacteria community fingerprint was surveyed using ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) using a culture-dependent and culture-independent approach. The rhizosphere bacteria community was surveyed during 80 DP. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) clustering showed that the rhizosphere bacteria community in three-frequency applications of PGPR was more abundant than without PGPR application and one or two PGPR applications. This study revealed that the rhizosphere bacteria community was increased in soil with PGPR application, especially in P3, three dosages of PGPR application. Increasing the rhizosphere bacteria community could strongly influence the clay foam soil nutrient.

Abstract

Concerns over the negative impacts of climate change on ecosystems and human life have entered a new phase where many hypothetical views are fast becoming realities. Presently, the rampaging effect of climate change is, in theory, causing ecological catastrophes, and it is being felt at an alarming scale worldwide. As an important ecological niche, the soil ecosystem hosts a diversity of microbiomes and macrobiomes and affords a soil-plant-microbes ecological continuum. Also, it supports essential ecological processes meant to promote life-sustaining habits. However, changes in plant diversity due to increasing greenhouse effects, anthropogenic activities, and global warming have severely impacted the stability of soil microbial communities and interactions, particularly the soil-plant-microbe interaction. A good understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the plant-soil-microbial interactions, the complexity of the soil microbiome, ecosystem adaptability to climate change-induced stresses, and niche functionality of microbiota is necessary for the empirical impact assessment of climate change on soil microbial behaviors. Moreover, the soil system parameters and the various ecological services affected need to be further studied to identify opportunities that could assist the quest to mitigate the debilitating effects of climatic change in the soil ecosystem and sustainable food security initiatives.

Abstract

Browning limits the shelf life of fresh-cut eggplant. To control browning, organic Thai eggplant cv Chao Phraya is treated with calcium lactate at different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) a 5 minutes dip before storage at 10°C with 90% relative humidity for 4 days. Water dip and no dip serve as control treatments. Calcium lactate at 0.5-1.0% remarkably reduces browning to a moderate degree; in contrast, higher calcium lactate concentrations, water dip and no dip treatments caused very severe browning at the end of storage. Browning severity is also manifested as reduced lightness (L*) values and increased brown pigment concentration. The total phenolic content did not change much in response to the 0.5-1.0% calcium lactate treatment, while the other treatments reduced the phenolic content, indicating conversion to brown pigments. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) were significantly lower with 0.5-1.0% calcium lactate than with other treatments. This supported the reduction of browning by these treatments.

Abstract

Fruit flies are an economic important of pest on horticultural crops. One of the commodities that are affected much due to fruit fly attack is salacca var. pondoh. The number of fruit flies attacking salacca increased from 2018 to 2021. The aims of the research was to study the population dynamics in salacca orchards in relation to climate factors and host plants. The research was conducted from July 2022 to May 2023 in salacca orchards that are members of the Salacca Farmers Association Mitra Turindo in Wonokerto, Turi, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The methods were counting the number of fruit flies trapped in three observation groups with different levels of sanitation and host plants around salacca orchards. Descriptive and arithmetic methods were used to determine the pattern of population oscillation among the three observation groups and differences in sanitation levels and host plants around the salacca orchards. The result showed that population fluctuations of Bactrocera spp. in salacca orchards were correlated with rainfall and relative humidity and less correlated with temperature and wind speed. Fruit fly abundance was lower in salacca orchards with better sanitation and fewer host plants around the salacca orchard.

Abstract

Rice length and shape are the important quality traits in rice that affect consumer acceptance and price. Rice length and shape can be improved through crosses followed by selection. Genetic parameters influence effective selection. The research objectives are to estimate genetic parameters for rice length and shape in the F2 population of Basmati Delta 9 x Koshihikari and Basmati Pakistan x Inpago Unsoed 1. F2 rice population from crosses of Basmati Delta 9 (extra-long, slender) x Koshihikari (short, round), Basmati Pakistan (extra-long, slender) x Inpago Unsoed 1 (medium, medium), and the parents are used for research material. The genotype is planted using an experimental design with no replication. Rice length and shape data were collected from each plant. The collected data is used to estimate the genetic parameters of rice length and shape. The results show that polygenes control rice length and shape. Transgressive segregation is obtained in the F2 population of Pakistan Basmati x Inpago Unsoed 1. The genetic diversity of rice length and shape is low, so reducing the selection intensity of these traits is suggested. The estimate of broad sense heritability and genetic gain of rice length and shape was high.

Abstract

Potential use of acid sulfate soils in agriculture is faced by low pH and the presence of a pyrite layer especially in dry conditions. In order for potential acid sulfate soils to support corn growth during the dry season, technological input is needed to improve soil fertility and overcome water availability by organic fertilizer palm oil mill effluent (POME) plus zeolite. The study used a Split Plot Design with two treatment factors. The treatment factors consisted of plots of water availability: C1 = 100%, C2 = 75%, C3 = 50%, C4 = 25%. POME subplot factor: L0 = No POME, L1 = Secondary Anaerobic POME  (zeolite 0%) dose of 1000 ml, L2 = POME Acidification Pool (zeolite 10%) dose of 1000 ml. Availability of water and the provision of POME plus zeolite affect pH, organic-C, total-N, P-Bray I, and soil CEC. In terms of plant growth, both treatments also influence canopy dry weight, seed weight, N content, P and proline leaf corn. Palm oil mill effluent acidification pool plus zeolite 10% dose of 1000 ml increases the adaptability of plants to water shortages and the fertility of potential acid sulfate soils, and the growth and production of corn.

Abstract

The ecosystem's biodiversity and soil microorganisms are impacted by the increasing use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which causes soil acidity and limits the sustainability of agricultural output. The majority of microbial functions in acidic soil are inhibited because of decreasing nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition as well as diminishing bacterial and fungal growth and reproduction.  In light of these growing concerns, the use of microorganisms as bio fertilizers is a recommended as alternative agricultural practice. Recent times have brought about a change in the paucity of study on yeasts and their ability to safely boost plant growth. Numerous works on bacteria have been made available. The primary objective of the study is to highlight the widespread application of yeasts in sustainable agricultural practices to promote plant growth in acidic soils. All of the advantages that yeasts provide may contribute to the growth of plants. Therefore, a thorough investigation into yeasts may be fruitful and offer a sustainable means of boosting agricultural yields that are necessary in acidic soil.
