Abstract

Humidity at a low level reduces the growth and development of borer pests. On the contrary, coffee plants under shaded conditions grow and develop under higher humidity and lower temperatures, causing the risk of X. compactus. This research aimed to evaluate differences in twig borer attack intensity and their relationship with environmental and management factors. From August to December 2023, research was done in twelve coffee plantations in UB Forest, Dampit, Bangelan, and Ngantang. Direct observations such as infestation intensity, temperature, relative humidity, canopy cover, and the diversity and abundance of weeds and shade trees, were done. We also recorded the pruning, pesticide use, and fertilizer application. The relationships between infestation intensity and habitat management variables were analyzed using general linear models. We concluded that the twig borer infestation intensity varied widely among plantations, with the highest levels recorded in Ngantang. Temperature, canopy cover, species diversity, and weed abundance did not significantly influence infestation levels. Nevertheless, relative humidity presented a significant positive correlation with infestation intensity. Moreover, among the observed management practices, only pruning intensity significantly reduced twig borer infestation, while pesticide application and fertilization had no significant effect.

Abstract

The paper was intended to measure the website of Agrivita Journalin the implementation of dialogic communication features. Thesecommunicative features indicate the management capability in thedigital-based scientific journal process. The content analysis wasemployed, utilizing 31 dialogic communication features that five codersevaluated as the assessment instrument. The Intraclass CorrelationCoefficient (ICC) approach was used to measure inter-rater reliability,and a composite index was used to assess the implementation strengthof each feature. The results showed that the ICC calculation based on thetwo-way random effects model and absolute agreement was consideredreliable. ICC values of features such as the layout of the Agrivitawebsite, the publisher profile page, and visitor statistics were scored1.00, indicating that the respective features perform an exceptional andconsistent execution in facilitating effective bidirectional communication.Meanwhile, minimal ratings resulted from features like the FAQ page,referring to the lack of information transparency and participation fromwebsite users. This study also indicated that improving interactive andinformative elements on the website is substantial to induce higherparticipation from the scientific users. Moreover, the study also pointedout that the evaluation conducted by journal management shouldinclude principles of dialogic communication as a strategic referenceto enhance governance quality and achieve international indexing.

Abstract

Rice field bunds function as a reservoir of biodiversity, one of which is entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), which plays a role in controlling insect populations and increasing plant resistance. This study aimed to explore the interaction between organic matter content, soil pH, and EPF diversity in rice fields from Mulyoagung Subdistrict, Malang Regency. EPF was isolated using the insect bait method, followed by pathogenicity testing on Tenebrio molitor larvae. The Shannon-Wiener index (H'), evenness (E), and dominance (C) were used to assess the diversity of EPF on rice field bunds. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to test the relationship between organic matter content, soil pH, and EPF diversity. Based on the results of the study, three genera of EPF were found in the rice fields, namely Beauveria, Fusarium, and Metarhizium. The presence of EPF is influenced by understory plants and the amount of organic matter in the soil. Therefore, preserving rice field bunds is very important to maintain the EPF population.

Abstract

Abiu fruit harvested at the fully-ripe stage typically exhibits a shorter shelf life compared to those harvested at the half-ripe stage. Despite the longer shelf life, those at the half-ripe stage are more susceptible to shriveling during storage, particularly on the green part. This study aims to mitigate shriveling and enhance the postharvest quality of abiu fruit through ethylene application. The treatments consisted of 2 ethylene application methods (1-second dip and 60-second soak) and 4 concentrations [control (0 ppm), 100, 200, and 400 ppm]. The fruit was stored at room temperature (26 ± 2°C and RH 82 ± 2%) after ethylene application. The results showed that the soak application can reduce shriveling by 31% and extending the shelf life by up to 2 days. Decreasing of shriveling incidence also found in the 100, 200, and 400 ppm ethylene concentration by 29%, 52%, and 52%, respectively which lead to extend the shelf life up to 4 days. The soaking method and 100 ppm ethylene concentration were the most effective among all treatments, which were able to reduce shriveling by up to 63% and extend the shelf life of abiu fruit by up to 4 days.

Abstract

Purple blotch caused by Alternaria porri is the primary disease in shallots, causing yield losses of 30-100%. The use of endophytic fungi as biocontrol agents has several advantages, including adaptability to host plants, selective targeting of pathogenic fungal cell walls without harming plant cells, and environmental friendliness. This study aims to select endophytic fungi producing hydrolytic enzymes with the highest inhibitory effect against A. porri. Endophytic fungi were isolated from the Batu Ijo local variety of shallots in Dau District, Malang, then evaluated for antagonism and for their ability to produce hydrolytic enzymes. This study obtained 42 isolates, consisting of 25 fungi and 17 yeasts. The endophytic fungi with the highest inhibitory activity were identified as Trichoderma asperellum (71.4%) and Pichia onychis (70.04%). T. asperellum produced cellulase at concentrations of 16.78 µg/ml and chitinase at 3.85 µg/ml, while P. onychis produced cellulase at concentrations of 11.47 µg/ml and chitinase at 1.56 µg/ml. Microscopic observation of A. porri hyphae showed that both endophytic fungi caused lysis with hyphal fragmentation, discoloration, and deformation. The endophytic fungi T. asperellum and P. onychis were proven to inhibit A. porri in vitro through their ability to produce hydrolytic enzymes that caused A. porri hyphal lysis.

Abstract

Organic rice is cultivated without synthetic materials, offering high economic value and health benefits. Supportive biophysical components are essential for optimal growth and improving organic rice productivity. This research aims to identify the biophysical components that contribute to the land's carrying capacity for organic rice growth. The research was conducted in Rowosari Village, Jember Regency, East Java. The study analyzed on-farm activities, including producing organic fertilizers and pesticides, land mapping, agroclimate, and assessing biological components. The results show that biophysical factors significantly influence organic rice growth. Indicators of the success of organic fertilizer produced are N of 0.15%, P of 0.04%, K of 0.22%, and fertilizer pH of 4.98. The qualitative analysis of organic pesticides revealed the presence of secondary metabolites like tannin, saponin, flavonoid, alkaloid, and terpenoid with the code (+++). A high biological diversity was observed, with a Shannon-H index exceeding 1. Additionally, the concentration of organic fertilizers and pesticides significantly increased the number of rice plant saplings during the vegetative phase. The study concludes that the biophysical components of the land provide strong support for the growth of organic rice, demonstrating their vital role in the sustainability and productivity of organic farming systems.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the morphological characteristics of 17 taro genotypes. The research involved the inventory and morphological identification of taro genotypes in Bogor, West Java Province, and Ponorogo, East Java Province. The morphological description of taro followed the guidelines in the IPGRI descriptor book. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine quantitative data. Using the 22-0 version of SPSS Software, Duncan’s multiple range test was employed at a 5% significance level to determine whether the variables observed had a significant effect. A cladogram was created to evaluate the degree of similarity between the taro genotypes based on the collected data. Fourteen genotypes of Colacasia have been identified, consisting of 7 Eddoe types: Satoimo, Ozikawa, Siromi, Jepang Ungu, Dempel, and Dempel Ungu, 7 Dasheen types including Bentul Ungu, Ketan, Pratama, California, Sutra, Pari, and Bentul, while 3 Xanthosoma including Talas hitam, Talas HIjau, and Talas Kuning. The results showed that the highest association coefficient values were found in Pratama with California, Bentul Ungu with Ketan, and Ozikawa with Siromi. The genotypic variance coefficients were high for characters associated with taro's growth and yield, including corm weight, cormel diameter, cormel weight, and plant span.

Abstract

Currently, there is a shortage of cocoa clonal seedlings utilizing rootstock from the cocoa seed clone UIT1 × NA33 in the cocoa industry. Alternative clonal seedlings having comparable or superior growth and root characteristics are needed. This study aimed to evaluate and screen the growth and root performance of selected commercial cocoa seed clones as alternatives to UIT1 × NA33. The experiment used 45 rhizotrons (15 selected clones including UIT1 × NA33 as a control, with three replicates each) to grow roots to a one-meter depth under a completely randomized design (CRD). Height increment, root intensity (RI), and root depth (RD) were measured throughout the study. Sixteen weeks after transplanting (WAT), all tubes were harvested for dried shoot biomass (DSB), dried root biomass (DRB), root length density (RLD), and specific root length (SRL) measurement. Results showed no significant difference (P>0.05) among the seed clones based on one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test. In conclusion, the clones KKM 1, PBC 123, QH 22, and MCBC 1 exhibited good root performance and growth, indicating their potentials as alternative rootstock for UIT1 × NA33.

Abstract

Increasing soybean productivity in Indonesia remains a challenge due to infertile soil and a lack of research on the most suitable varieties of soybeans. One strategy to address consistently low yields is the introduction of edamame cultivars, which are native to the subtropics. The purpose of this study is to examine the adaptation, production, and quality of edamame soybean products in the Aceh Medium Plain, Indonesia. Three edamame soybean cultivars, namely Riocos 305, Biomax 1, and Biomax 2, have been tested at an elevation of 612 m above sea level in the soil of the Andisols order. The three cultivars exhibited distinct responses in terms of growth, production, and seed quality. Biomax 1 showed the highest productivity, with a seed yield of 2.10 t/ha, compared to 0.95 t/ha for Riocos 305 and 0.64 t/ha for Biomax 2. While the three cultivars exhibited similar seed quality, the nutrient composition differed between mature seeds and dried seeds.
