Abstract

This research investigates the interplay of genotypes and year on yield and related traits in bread wheat. Two hundred wheat genotypes, including commercial varieties and landraces were evaluated at Hazara University, Pakistan during 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 crop seasons. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes, years, and genotype × year interactions (G × Y) for traits like tillers per square meter, grain weight per spike, grains per spike, 1000-grain weight, biological yield, and grain yield. Descriptive statistics outlined the range and mean values for these traits over two years. Noteworthy genotypes, such as Milat-2011 (maximum tillers), Khirman (heaviest grain weight per spike), NIFA-Aman (most grains per spike), and Pakistan-13 (heaviest 1000-grain weight), showed superior performance. Tandojam-83 led in biological yield, and Punjab-1 excelled in grain yield. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified biological yield and grain yield as major contributors to genetic variation. Cluster analysis revealed significant variability, grouping genotypes like Punjab-1, Tandojam-83, Punjab-96, Ufaq, and others into distinct clusters. Significant positive correlations were found between tillers per square meter with both biological yield and grain yield. This study offers valuable insights into G × Y interactions and genetic diversity, aiding wheat breeding programs aimed at improving yield and stability.

Abstract

Maize ear rot, caused by Fusarium verticillioides, is a significant concern due to its impact on grain contamination and yield reduction. The virulence of this pathogen varies markedly among different strains. This study aimed to assess the pathogenicity of ten F. verticillioides strains; EKT 06, AKR 05, IBD 06, ILH 03, IGH 06, SAK 03, ERW 06, IGB 06, IJB 02, and ILR 05 across three maize varieties: SWAM-1-SR-Y, DMR LSR Y, and BR 9943-DMR-SR-W. A screen-house pathogenicity test was conducted, arranged in a complete randomized design (CRD) with four replications. Inoculation with standardized spore suspensions was conducted through the silk channel in the 7th week after planting (WAP). Among the strains, AKR 05 exhibited the highest virulence, with ear rot severity of 52.8%, followed by ILR 05 (48.6%), ERW 06 (47.3%), and IBD 06 (46.1%). In contrast, SAK 03 (31.4%) and ILH 03 (37.8%) demonstrated the lowest severity levels. The growth parameters of BR 9943-DMR-SR-W were significantly higher than those of SWAM-1-SR-Y and DMR-LSR-Y. The BR 9943-DMR-SR-W variety showed the greatest resistance to the fungal strains, suggesting it is a promising option for cultivation in environments prone to ear rot. Further field trials are necessary to validate these findings.

Abstract

Conventional propagation experiences problems due to long period for seed production, disease contamination, low reproductive rate and season dependent. In vitro propagation offers several advantages. This research aims to assess the impact of different media types and the concentrations of BAP and IBA on the in vitro growth and development of A. muelleri shoots. Bulbil explants were cultivated using MS media with different media types (solid media, agitated liquid media, and static liquid media) with various BAP and IBA concentration treatments (1 mg/l, 2 mg/l, and 3 mg/l). The results demonstrated that the media type and combinations of BAP and IBA treatments significantly influenced period of callus formation and the number of shoots. The development of explant on both solid and static liquid media involves initial explant swelling, formation of nodular callus, greenish buds, and ultimately shoots. Anatomical observation showed that explants experienced indirect organogenesis, characterized by the presence of pre meristem nodular callus, meristematic tissue, apical meristem and leaf primordia. The agitated liquid media didn’t promote growth and development of the explants. The most effective combination was found to be the static liquid media supplemented with 3 mg/l BAP and 1 mg/l IBA.

Abstract

Biofertilizer application can potentially reduce chemical residues in soil from synthetic fertilizers. This study investigates the effects of varying doses and application frequencies of biofertilizers on the growth, productivity, and Relative Agronomic Effectiveness (RAE) of Glycine max L. A Completely Randomized Design was employed, with 9 treatment combinations and 2 control groups (positive and negative), each replicated three times. The biofertilizer doses tested were 5, 10, and 15 ml per plant (B5, B10, B15), and application frequencies included 1 week after planting (WAP) (F1), at 1 and 4 WAP (F2), and at 1, 4, and 8 WAP (F3). The negative control received no biofertilizer, while the positive control received NPK (5 g/plant). Plant growth was assessed by measuring height and leaf number, and productivity was evaluated based on the number of pods, pod weight, dry seed weight, and weight per 100 seeds. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that the treatment with 10 ml of biofertilizer applied twice (B10F2) significantly improved the growth and productivity of Glycine max L., achieving an RAE value of 169.70%.

Abstract

One of the main pests of onion cultivation worldwide is the thrips complex, mainly Thrips tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. These species can decrease the production of this crop, so the objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of the plant extracts of Azadirachta indica and Argemone mexicana and the alternating application of Zote® household soap as a method of controlling the thrips complex in onion cultivation under nursery conditions. Four crop beds were planted, and five treatments were evaluated using four repetitions in a randomized block experimental design. Weekly density sampling of the pest was carried out, and the number of thrips was evaluated before each application. At harvest, the weight of the onion and the size of its leaves were recorded. The results obtained show that plant extracts significantly reduce thrips populations in onions. Additionally, the combination of A. mexicana extract and soap increases crop yield, indicating that this treatment can efficiently control the thrips population in onion cultivation under field conditions.

Abstract

Heat stress and drought are combination of stresses that have the potential to occur simultaneously in extreme temperature changes. Rice is the main food crop in Indonesia and includes plants that are sensitive to stress. Indonesian local rice is believed to have high adaptability to Indonesian's geographical conditions, however there is lack of updated data to explain this information. This study attempts to determine the level of adaptability or resistance of Indonesian local rice to a combination of heat stress and drought. The results showed that the 24 Indonesian local rice accessions were divided into 3 resistance classes. The high resistance class is Sintha, the resistance classes are Gajah Mungkur, Kalimutu, Kapuas, Sukamandi, Seratus Malam, Cabacu, Bengawan Solo and Cisokan, as well as the medium resistance classes Jatiluhur, Batang Ombilin, Mahakam, Nona Bokra, Pucuk, Bengawan, Rojolele, IR64, Barumun, Cisadane, Memberamo, Cibodas, Gilirang, Fatmawati and Ciherang.

Abstract

Palm oil-based surfactants have the potential to be used as botanical insecticide formulations that are environmental friendly. This study was aimed to obtain information on the potential of palm oil-based surfactants as substitutes of synthetic surfactants in the preparation of botanical insecticide formulations to control Spodoptera frugiperda in organic farming. The experiment consisted of two stages, namely the stability test (surfactant and formulation) and the second stages were to test the insecticidal activity of the formulation against the targeted insects. The method of stability tests was following the standards of Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council (CIPAC). The insecticidal activity test used the leaf immersion method with the observation parameters of larval mortality and larval development time. The relationship between treatments and larval mortality was analyzed using probit to determine the LC50 and LC95 values. The data obtained were analyzed for variance and continued with the Least Significant Different test at 5% level. This study showed that palm oil has potential as a surfactant in the Piper aduncum nanoemulsion formulation according to CIPAC standards and affected the mortality of S. frugiperda with LC50 concentration of 0.55 and LC95 of 2.95.

Abstract

Culturing Capsicum chinense using a fertigation system necessitates a significant amount of chemical fertilizer, leading to diminishing nutrient levels in both the crop and the growing medium over time. This study investigates an alternative method: recycling pineapple leaves into biochar and combining it with Trichoderma biofertilizer (TBF) to enhance crop growth, yield, and nutrient content. Conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) under rain shelter conditions, seven treatments are tested: T0 (Commercial chemical fertilizer - Control), T1 (Commercial organic fertilizer), T2 (100% pineapple leaf biochar [PLB]), T3 (100% TBF), T4 (75% PLB + 25% TBF), T5 (50% PLB + 50% TBF), and T6 (25% PLB + 75% TBF). The parameters measured include growth, yield, and nutrient content of the total plant biomass after destructive sampling. The treatment with 75% PLB and 25% TBF yielded results comparable to the control, significantly enhancing plant height (68.24 cm), stem diameter (1.12 cm), SPAD chlorophyll content (53.83), yield (403.69 g), total plant biomass (156.13 g), and nutrient content. While the control (T0) shows the highest values for some growth parameters, T4 emerges as the most promising ratio, offering significantly higher mean values for both growth and yield parameters among the organic treatments studied.

Abstract

The black ant (Dolichoderus thoracicus) is known as a natural enemy of Hypothenemus hampei Ferr., the Coffee Berry Borer (CBB). The conservation efforts for this natural enemy can be carried out by using ant nest technology with artificial feed. This research explored artificial nesting and feeding methods for black ant colonies in coffee plantations in Jember District, Indonesia, to combat the CBB. Utilizing a Randomized Block Design, the study examines different nest materials and shapes, various artificial feeds, and the influence of environmental factors on ant colony growth. Cocoa leaves are the most effective nesting material, significantly increasing ant populations (11,532 individuals on average) compared to coconut leaves (4,645.83 individuals); no significant impact of nest shape on ant attraction; granulated sugar is the preferred artificial feed. A notable increase in ant populations was observed with a longer nest placement duration of four weeks. Environmental factors, especially humidity and temperature, significantly influence nests' and feed interactions. The study highlights the importance of specific nesting materials and environmental considerations in effective pest management strategies in tropical agriculture, offering a sustainable approach to enhancing coffee plantation productivity.

Abstract

Organic fresh-cut Thai eggplants cv. Chao Phraya were treated with 0.5% calcium lactate at ambient, 50°C or 60°C for 1 and 5 minutes before storage at 10°C with 90% relative humidity for 6 days. No calcium lactate treatment served as the control which turned brown very rapidly, reaching the browning limit of acceptability in less than one day. Calcium lactate at 50-60°C for 1 minute markedly slowed browning based on sensory scores, lightness (L*) values and brown pigment concentration. The treated eggplants had very slight browning symptoms after one day and reached the browning limit of acceptability after 4-5 days of storage. Correspondingly, the activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) were lowest while phenolics contents were highest among treatments. Prolonging the combined treatment duration to 5 minutes induced browning that was comparable to the control. Ambient calcium lactate treatment for 1 and 5 minutes had comparable intermediate responses in browning development and changes in phenolics content, PPO, POD and PAL activities. The treated fresh-cut eggplants reached the browning limit of acceptability in 2-3 days of storage.
