Abstract

Entomopathogenic fungi are potential candidates for ecofriendly pest-management. These fungi with botanical extracts can improve control over insect pests of economical crops. This study assessed the biocompatibility between four fungi (Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus oryzae, Metarhizium flavoviride, and Trichoderma hamatum) and four aqueous plant leaf extracts (Azadirachta indica, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Melia azedarach, and Ocimum sanctum). The fungal strain pure cultures were procured from the Fungal Culture Bank, University of the Punjab, Lahore. Leaf extracts were employed at 0.25% to 1% concentrations, whereas fungal inocula were maintained at 1 × 108 conidia/ml. Fungal dry mycelial weight (DMW), colonial growth (CG), and conidial density (CD) were recorded on PDB and PDA media with leaf extracts. Compatibility was calculated based on DMW, CG, and CD results. Aspergillus flavus was highly compatible with 0.25% to 1% A. indica leaf extract. Aspergillus oryzae was compatible with 0.5% to 1% E. Camaldulensis and 0.25% M. azedarach leaf extracts. Metarhizium flavoviride was compatible with 0.5% to 1% E. Camaldulensis and 1% M. azedarach leaf extracts. Trichoderma hamatum shared high compatibility with most concentrations of plant extracts and emerged as the most promising strain. These findings promote fungi-plant extract combination as an ecofriendly pest-management alternative.

Abstract

A high population of Spodoptera frugiperda larvae reduces corn crop productivity. One alternative insect pest control method is the use of mixed essential oils. This research aims to evaluate the insecticidal and antifeedant activity of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and melaleuca (Melaleuca leucadendra) essential oils against S. frugiperda larvae, as well as their combined effect. The essential oils were produced using a steam distillation method.  The insecticidal activities were assayed using feeding method. The levels of essential oil concentration tested and controlled were repeated five times. The concentration-mortality relationship was analyzed using probit. Antifeedant activity tested by choice and no-choice at sub-lethal concentrations equivalent to LC10,LC25, and LC50. The test results showed that insecticidal activity of the essential oils of C. citratus higher than M leucadendra. Both essential oils showed LC50 values of 0.9% and 1.1% respectively. Both essential oils also showed antifeedant activity. In the choice test and no-choice test at LC10,LC25, and LC50 showed feeding inhibition of 23.7%-56.7%. The mixture of the two essential oils has a strongly synergistic action with an LC50 of 0.15% and a combination index of 0.15. Further research is needed to evaluate the extract mixture in the field.

Abstract

The objective of plant hybridization is to generate alternative superior phenotypes with the aim of decreasing the dependence on wild orchid exploitation in nature. Although interspecies crosses in Dendrobium are very likely to occur and there is a low chance of experiencing bud depression, interspecies crosses have the potential to encounter several problems, including failure of embryo development resulted to the seeds unable to germinate. Media formulation is the most essential component in the success of in vitro culture of orchid seeds. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain new Dendrobium hybrids and the best media formulation for germination and seedling growth. A total of three experiments were conducted including hybridization, the impacts of basic media namely (1) MS, (2) VW, and (3) foliar fertilizer both with and without the addition of tryptone, on seedling germination. The results showed that there was no compatibility barriers observed in all crosses. Foliar fertilizer + tryptone media was recommended for orchid seedlings because it produced better growth and roots up to 8 months after planting (MAP). For best results on Dendrobium hybrid seedlings, MS + tryptone media up to 6 MAP was used followed by deflasking into VW + tryptone to stimulate optimal root growth before hardening.

Abstract

Tomatoes rank among the top five most globally demanded crops and serve as a key ingredient in numerous dishes. However, productivity may decline due to challenges such as diseases, pest infestations, and climate change. Therefore, automatic disease detection is essential to identify early signs of illness during the growth period. This study proposes a method for detecting tomato leaf diseases using image processing techniques. The approach involves image enhancement, feature extraction, and classification. Initially, leaf disease images were enhanced using the Contrast Adjustment technique. Subsequently, color and texture features were extracted using Color Moments and the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), respectively. Disease detection was carried out using a Support Vector Machine (SVM). The method was tested on 50 images each for healthy leaves and four types of tomato leaf diseases: Bacterial Spot, Yellow Leaf Curl Virus, Early Blight, and Late Blight. The performance of the disease detection system was evaluated using a confusion matrix, achieving an overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 96%, 90%, and 97.5%, respectively. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SVM-based approach for tomato leaf disease detection.

Abstract

The factors that affect the low national soybean production are the reduction of agricultural land, the dry season, and extreme temperatures due to El Niño. Agroforestry can be one of the solutions, but the environmental conditions that make soybean plant growth less suitable can make it vulnerable to pathogens causing disease, such as a bacterial pustule caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines. This research aimed to evaluate the field response to bacterial pustules and the yield potential of various soybean varieties in mahogany agroforestry systems under the stress of the 2023 El Niño drought. This research was carried out during the El Niño dry season, August-October 2023, in the Alas Bromo Special Purpose Forest Area, Karanganyar District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java. The research design used in this research was a complete randomized design with the factor of soybean varieties using six varieties planted under mahogany tree stands. The observed variables were height, the number of leaves, disease incidence, disease severity, infection rate, and area under the disease progression curve (AUDPC). The result showed that two varieties resistant to bacterial pustule: Agromulyo and Denasa-2. El Niño, dry season stress, causes low yield productivity; the highest yield was just 0.6 t/ha, produced by the Argomulyo variety.

Abstract

Peatlands are fragile ecosystems, making any utilization susceptible to changes that can disrupt the balance of natural resources and the environment. Three critical aspects that play a significant role in preserving peatland ecosystems (ecological, economic, and social) must be carefully considered in peatland use. A study of biophysical data and peatland usage was conducted in Pelalawan District, Riau Province, Indonesia, followed by a quantitative analysis of sustainability using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) with the support of modified Rapfish software, referred to as Rapid Appraisal for Peat (RapPeat). The study aimed to assess the sustainability level of various peatland land use types and identify leverage attributes for targeted interventions to improve sustainability status. The research findings suggest that the peatland areas are less sustainable across these three assessed dimensions. The ecological dimension was the most sustainable, followed by the economic and social dimensions. Rubber and oil palm plantation land use types are more sustainable than the other land use types. Improving peatland sustainability involves targeted actions on leverage attributes to facilitate more sustainable practices across all dimensions.

Abstract

Plants have a hard time in its growth and development under salt stress. Salinity stress increase the activity of antioxidants and lessen the damage that salt does, phytohormones might be a good answer. Phytohormones application has emerged as a promising strategy in modern stress management as it defends plants against various abiotic stresses. The study was planned to define whether salt primed seeds treated with plant growth regulators (PGRs) can germinate normally and which level of PGRs can better assist rice germination and seedling growth. Seeds of Malaysian rice cultivars MR263 and MR284 were presoaked with 100 mM NaCl. Salt primed seeds were then treated with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mM Gibberellic acid (GA3), Salicylic acid (SA) and 10, 20, 30, 40 mM Thiourea (TU) in petridishes in controlled lab conditions. The experiment was designed in factorial CRD (completely randomized design) with two factors and four replicates. The interaction between rice cultivars and treatments (PGRs) significantly affected water uptake potential, germination percentage, germination index, seedling fresh and dry weight and seed vigor index. The application of 0.25 mM GA3, 0.25 mM SA and 10 mM TU reduced the inhibitory effect of NaCl priming at germination level.

Abstract

By 2050, a projected global population of 9.7 billion will exacerbate the existing resource scarcity, demanding innovative solutions for sustainable food production. While synthetic fertilizers have boosted yields, their environmental impact—including soil and water contamination, greenhouse gas emissions, and declining response rates—is undeniable. Organic farming and the utilization of biofertilizers offer a compelling alternative. These naturally occurring microorganisms, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, enhance soil fertility, boost crop yields, and mitigate the negative consequences of chemical fertilizers. While challenges remain regarding production, distribution, and widespread farmer adoption, the growing global demand for sustainable agriculture, coupled with ongoing research into biofertilizer optimization, paints an optimistic picture for the future of this eco-friendly technology. Indeed, the shift towards biofertilizers represents not just a solution to a pressing problem but a crucial step towards a healthier planet and more secure food supply. The findings suggest that excessive use of chemical fertilizers negatively affect agricultural ecosystems. Besides this, the use of biofertilizers offers a natural sustainable alternative solution to address the imbalance of soil nutrients.

Abstract

Numerous initiatives were carried out to enhance rice production in swampy areas, which required the implementation of suitable technology. The use of adaptive variety, soil, and water management have been reported as the main keys to agricultural culture on tidal swamps. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the effect of several levels of substance peat humic application on the growth and yield of rice in tidal swamps. A completely randomized design was also used with two factors and four replications between March to June 2022, in Karya Bakti, Rantau Rasau sub-district of Tanjabtim District, Jambi Province. The first factor was varieties IR-64 and Inpara-4, while the second was the use of humic substance in peat consisting of 0 g/plant, 0.04 g/plant, 0.08 g/plant, and 0.12 g/plant. The cultivation process included the planting of paddy seeds within buckets containing 10 kg of soil. The result showed that the optimal yield of rice varieties IR-64 and Inpara-4, when subjected to peat humic substance in saturated soil culture, was achieved at 0.12 g/plant. This was substantiated by the enhanced uptake of essential nutrients such as N, P, and K in the plants, resulting in superior plant biomass compared to other concentration levels.
