Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the agronomic effect of deficit sprinkler irrigation sin the cultivation of banana Cavendish Musa AAA cv. Williams in Ecuador. Four treatments were carried out with different irrigation levels: T1 (40% of ETc (evapotranspiration of the crop)), T2 (60% of ETc), T3 (80% of ETc), and T4 (100% of ETc), with a design of complete random blocks and three repetitions. The results showed that the crop exhibited better biophysical behavior when irrigated at 100% of ETc throughout the study period, with higher values in total leaves and root weight, while there were no significant differences for plant height, pseudostem diameter, and leaf emission. T1 achieved greater efficiency, managing with less volume to convert the same amount of matter in vegetative development. Finally, the cost of irrigation application during weeks 5 to 16 of the crop's age was higher in treatment T4 (100% of ETc) due to the larger volume of water used in the irrigation system. It is concluded that the use of controlled deficit irrigation helps save large amounts of water, which translates into savings for farmers and better water distribution due to the effects of climate change from the reduction of flow rates.

Abstract

A character with a good genetic parameter can be used as a selection character. The study aims to identify a genotype with high production. The research was done in augmented, which is the methodology that does not use repetition for the F4 generation but involves repetition for both parents. All plants were planted on a plot. Twenty seeds of the F4 genotype (planted as 40 plants for every genotype), Argomulyo, and Tanggamus were planted as 60 plants with 3 times repeated. Character components of yield examined are the number of branches per plant, the number of pods per plant, seed weight per plant, and the weight of 100 seeds. The calculations were conducted to estimate heritability, the genetic variability coefficient (GVC), as well as skewness, kurtosis, and correlation. The results obtained genotypes that have the opportunity to produce high yields are F4.5.82.87.104 = G7 because the action of genes that play a role, are complementary epistasis, additive, and the number of genes is small, and the value of a large correlation, real positive between the number of branches with the number of pods per plant.

Abstract

The use of biofertilizers in combination with synthetic fertilizer has been effective in managing the population of Peregrinus maidis. The impact of a biofertilizer was assessed through the response of P. maidis. Corn plants were planted in potted soil with four different treatments. Plant defensin expression was determined using semi-quantitative PCR analysis, while lugensin expression in insects was analyzed using two-step semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Defensin is shown to be expressed in corn upon insect infestation on both biofertilizer Mykoplus and a combination of urea and complete fertilizers. The plants treated with the combination of urea and complete fertilizer  had similar numbers of insects (25%) to plants treated with biofertilizer alone. It was worth noting that although female macropters preferred biofertilizer-treated plants for oviposition, their preference in plants treated with urea and complete biofertilizer is not significantly different. Interestingly, the corn plants treated with biofertilizer plus urea had a similar number of oviposited eggs among the treatments (P=0.8166). This research presents novel results as it explores the potential benefits of using biofertilizers as a biocontrol method to manage the population of insect vectors that transmit a viral phytopathogen affecting corn.

Abstract

The coffee-pine agroforestry model, where coffee is grown under shade trees, provides environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration and soil health improvement. However, maintaining carbon stocks over time is challenging due to climate change, which alters water and nutrient availability. Using the WaNuLCAS model, this study assessed system optimization under various climate scenarios, focusing on coffee yield, carbon stock, and biomass balance. The model simulates water and nitrogen cycling as well as coffee–pine interactions. The results showed that an increase in rainy season enhanced coffee growth, while applying Best Management Practice (BMP) led to a 44.64% higher coffee yield and a 4.52% increase in biomass production compared with the control. Conversely, low coffee (LC) with poor management increased carbon stock by 6.91% and biomass by 26.74%, the largest differences observed between treatments. This highlights trade-offs in land use performance. Previous studies mainly emphasized agroforestry’s contributions to carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and timber, with limited quantification of trade-offs between yield, carbon, and biomass under varying rainfall. By integrating site-specific calibration of the WaNuLCAS model, this study offers a novel approach showing how contrasting strategies (BMP vs. LC) differently optimize productivity and ecological services, guiding climate-resilient coffee agroforestry.

Abstract

Alocasia azlanii is a unique species that has an ornamental value, native to Southeast Asia. The present investigation aimed to develop reliable in vitro propagation techniques for A. azlanii, suitable for potential mutation and polyploidization programs. The in vitro propagation protocol for these species includes sterilization, shoot proliferation, in vitro rooting induction, and acclimation stages. The results showed that the effective protocol for freeing the explants from contamination was achieved through additional pre-treatment with bactericide and fungicide, which produced the best percentage of clean shoot-tip explants (87%). At the shoot multiplication stage, the shoot-tip explant cultivated in MS medium supplemented with 0.05 mg/l TDZ and 1 mg/l BAP showed the highest number of shoots (31.8) in the second subculture cycle. In rooting stages, single shoots that were planted in MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l activated charcoal and 0.5 mg/l NAA resulted in the best plantlet performances in terms of stem diameter, number of roots, number of leaves, and plantlet height. In the acclimatization stage, planting media composed of husk charcoal, soil, manure, and volcanic fine sand mixture (2:1:1:1 v/v) preserved vigorous plantlet development, with 93% survival.

Abstract

Aceh Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) is a significant export commodity for essential oil production in Indonesia. The wilt disease “matee tumbon” caused by Enterobacter bacteria is one of the obstacles to Aceh patchouli cultivation. This study aims to identify the most effective combination technique to control it. The study combined 25 treatment combinations in patchouli nurseries, and the five best treatment combinations were subsequently tested on patchouli plants in the field. The results showed that the five best combinations in controlling bacterial wilt disease in the nursery were 20% streptomycin sulfate + Trichoderma sp., 20% streptomycin sulfate + Bacillus thuringiensis, Trichoderma sp. + B. thuringiensis, 20% streptomycin sulfate + neem extract + B. thuringiensis, and neem extract + Trichoderma sp. + B. thuringiensis. Field results showed that the combination of neem extract, Trichoderma sp., and B. thuringiensis was effective in controlling the pathogen Enterobacter sp., causing bacterial wilt disease in Aceh patchouli plants. This combination of control techniques is an integrated approach to controlling bacterial wilt disease (Enterobacter sp.) in Aceh patchouli plants.

Abstract

Millets are gaining popularity in the current fast-food culture due to their unique characteristics, such as being gluten-free. In the Indian context, millets are primarily classified into major, small, and minor millets. Major millets consist of sorghum, pearl, and finger millet. Minor millets, comprised of foxtail millet, little millet, Kodo millet, Proso millet, and Barnyard millet, have been on the verge of extensive research and exploration. Millets are primarily recognized as climate-resilient crops due to their ability to withstand extreme weather events with minimal irrigation, making them a crucial component in climate-smart agriculture and ensuring food security and sustainability. Their ability to withstand extreme environmental events is the main reason for their resilience. To popularize the importance of millets as a key player in meeting the world’s food security needs, the FAO has declared 2023 the ‘International Year of Millets’. This aims to enhance the popularity of millets as a crucial part of our balanced diet, thereby attaining food security and a longer life for humanity worldwide. This initiative mainly concentrates on sustainable agroecological practices for preserving biodiversity. This paper discusses the important initiatives and schemes by the government of India to promote millets for food security and sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

This study evaluated the genetic variability, explored trait interrelationships, and identified efficient physiological quality traits of soybean seeds using multivariate techniques. Fourteen soybean varieties were evaluated based on twelve physiological quality traits related to germination and vigor tests. The data for each trait was analyzed using genetic variability estimation, analysis of variance, Tukey post-hoc test, and multivariate analysis. The findings indicated that most traits exhibited high genetic variability and high heritability, particularly in TSW (CVg=22.72%, h_x^2 =99.79) and SDM (CVg=26.59%, h_x^2 =94.98). There were no significant differences in SEF and SDMF among the fourteen varieties. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between TSW and SDM (r=0.95, p<0.05), as well as between G and TTZ (r=0.75, p<0.05). In contrast, TSW and SDM showed negative correlations with GSI and SEF. PCA analysis revealed two PCs explained 68.54% of the total variance. The PCA biplot indicated that G, FGC, GSI, and SL were the most efficient traits for assessing the physiological quality of soybean seeds. Heatmap clustering further revealed that six varieties (Gepak Kuning, Demas 1, Devon 1, Deja 1, Dering 1, and Dering 3) grouped in Cluster II were the most genetically divergent among those evaluated.

Abstract

Rhynchophorus spp. has been observed to be a potential pest in oil palm plantations in Indonesia. Rhynchophorus spp. has been reported to have attacked oil palm in Kalimantan and Papua, but reports regarding attacks by Rhynchophorus spp. in Sumatra have not been updated. Riau is the biggest producer of crude palm oil. This study aims to investigate Rhynchophorus spp. at oil palms in Siak, Riau. The study was conducted in the smallholder area of the Kerincikanan region. The study used survey methods to observe the symptoms of oil palms infested by Rhynchophorus spp. Pheromone aggregate traps were also used to capture Rhynchophorus spp. The results showed that after tree felling, two oil palms were positively infested by Rhynchophorus spp. Both the oil palms exhibited characteristic symptoms, including a collapsing crown, no visible injury or fungal infections in the stem, some leaves were still green, while others were dry. While, other eight oil palms were suspected to be infested by Rhynchoporus spp. Based on morphological characters, it was shown that Rhynchophorus spp. captured was R. vulneratus. These results suggest that oil palm plantations in the studied area should increase their awareness of the palm weevil's attack and implement mitigation approaches to mitigate further impacts.

Abstract

The leaves of Dioscorea bulbifera L. have chemical compounds that have the potential as bioinsecticides. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of polar, semi-polar, and non-polar fractions in D. bulbifera leaf extract as bioinsecticides. The research design used was a Factorial, Completely Randomized Design consisting of two factors with five repetitions using the contact method against Cryptotermes cynocephalus. The first factor was the type of solvent: non-polar solvents, semi-polar solvents, and polar solvents. The second factor was concentration, with a range of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, and 1%. Based on the results, the D. bulbifera leaves in the polar fraction contain alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, triterpenoids, and saponins. The semi-polar fraction contains alkaloids, phenols, and steroids. The non-polar fraction contains alkaloids, phenols, and triterpenoids. GC-MS identification showed 20 metabolite compounds as potential as botanical insecticides. The highest termite mortality was in the non-polar fraction, with a 4% concentration of 32.80% (equivalent to a corrected mortality of 27.58%). The semi-polar fraction (3.20 g and 15.10%) at a concentration of 5% (2.58 g and 12.19%), showed the best reduction in test weight and degree of damage. This result indicates that D. bulbifera is an effective bioinsecticide in the repellent group.
