Abstract

The Pisifera type oil palm is an important palm variety and mostly used as a pollen source to produce Tenera commercial hybrid varieties. This research on proliferating fertile Pisifera oil palm callus using somatic embryogenesis method was conducted at the Tissue Culture Laboratory of PT. Sampoerna Agro, Tbk from February to August 2021 to find out the optimum basal media and the concentration of growth regulators on callus proliferation. The planting material was the primary callus from the previous research. This study used a factorial Completely Randomized Design with two factors. The first factor involved two types of basal media: MS and Y3, and the second factor consisted of different concentrations of growth regulators (PGR). All treatments were repeated three times. The results showed that the use of MS media supplemented with 6 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D was the most effective treatment for the proliferation of embryogenic callus in term of callus initiation time, the capacity of primary callus formation, primary calli morphology and proliferation, and callus fresh weight.

Abstract

Fertilizer plays a crucial role in the field of plantation industries. In pursuit of the sustainable development goals, the objective of this study is to analyse and compare the specific physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of peat soils found in oil palm between biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer treated plot. This study involved approximately 40 soil samples at Ladang Amanah Saham Pahang Berhad (ASPA), located in Sg. Miang, Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. Block E and Block F were chosen to represent the biofertilizer (Plot E3) and chemical fertilizer (Plot F4). The samples were collected during Mid-June 2023 using random sampling techniques and prepared for soil chemical and biological analysis. Based on the findings, there were significant differences in soil pH, exchangeable phosphorus (P), ammonium-N (NH4+) and nitrate-N (NO3-) between chemical fertilizer and biofertilizer treated plot. Biofertilizer treated plot showed higher levels of total nitrogen (N), total carbon, exchangeable calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) compared to chemical fertilizer treated plot. Chemical fertilizer treated plot showed lower cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to biofertilizer treated plot Accordingly, this research suggested that peat soils' pH, available P, ammonium, and nitrate content were significantly affected by the long-term use of biofertilizer for oil palm plantations.

Abstract

The production of 'Ratuni UNPAD' cayenne pepper can be increased using organic chicken manure. However, the application of ethephon is needed during fertilization due to the significantly slow flower initiation. Therefore, this study aims to determine the interaction between chicken manure and ethephon on the growth, yield, and quality of the 'Ratuni UNPAD' cayenne pepper. Planting is carried out 829 meters above sea level (masl), and a factorial randomized block experimental design comprises 2 factors with 3 replications. The first factor is the dose of chicken manure (10, 20, 30, and 40 t/ha), while the second is the ethephon concentration (0, 500, 1000, and 1500 ppm). The results showed no interaction between poultry manure and ethephon on the growth, yield, and quality of the 'Ratuni UNPAD' cayenne pepper. According to the doses of chicken manure, 40 t/ha significantly affects the flower initiation, fruit number, weight, length, and diameter, as well as capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin. The 30 t/ha shows the highest value for the number of leaves and productive branches, while 20 tons dose/ha influences flavonoids, phenolics, and total carotenoids. The ethephon concentration of 1500 ppm significantly affects the flower initiation, fruit length, diameter, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin.

Abstract

Thrips is an important worldwide cause of severe damage to various host plants, especially chrysanthemums. Current management still relies on synthetic insecticides to control thrips. However, these pesticides harm the environment and promote thrips resistance. The study aimed to compare integrated pest management (IPM) and farmer’s standard practices to control Thrips parvispinus on two chrysanthemum varieties and calculate the cost-benefit ratio of both pest control practices. Two chrysanthemum cultivars were planted in plastic houses to compare IPM and farmer’s standard practices. The observed variables included thrips density, attack and damage rates, cut flower yield, and natural enemies abundance. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, and Tukey's HSD test identified significant differences at a 5% level. The results showed that the population of T. parvispinus nymphs was higher (78%) than adults. The highest adult thrips population emerges when chrysanthemums achieve the flowering phases. This study reveals that the control effects of IPM were not different from farmer’s standard practices. A holistic approach integrating several management strategies successfully controlled the thrips population while producing high-quality crops with minimal aesthetic damage. The IPM strategy against thrips showed a competitive cost and reduced synthetic insecticide applications without decreasing the quality and productivity of chrysanthemums.

Abstract

The livestock areas are characterized by vast quantities of animal wastes that can be used as organic manure through composting and biochar production for soil fertility enhancement. This work aims to estimate the potential of increasing soil fertility and red chili production by employing biochar and poschar from different animal wastes. The design used for this study is a factorial pattern and randomized block. The first factor is the type of biochar used, including no biochar, biochar derived from cow manure, biochar derived from goat manure, and biochar derived from chicken manure. The second factor is the type of poschar; this includes poschar derived from cow manure, poschar derived from goat, poschar derived from chicken manure. It can be concluded from the investigation outcomes that applying biochar and poschar substantially affects soil factors such as water content, pH, EC, humic acid, fulvic acid, C, N, P, K, and CEC values. Red chilies increase and yield higher per hectare when various forms of biochar and poschar are applied. The combustion of cow manure and application of biochar products and biochar made from chicken manure produce the highest agronomic performance.

Abstract

This study aims to determine bamboo agroforestry system in maintaining sustainability of privately owned forest and contribution of bamboo community forests to the farmers' economy. Research on the composition of privately owned forest species was carried out using a survey method. There were 37 observation plots evenly distributed in the study location villages. Land cover image data obtained from Sentinel-2 Imagery were compared based on land-cover classification. Thirty respondents were interviewed to obtain social and economic data. Data related to the pattern and composition of species diversity of privately owned forest were displayed in an ordinal space and processed by employing Non-metric Multi-Dimensional Scaling analysis. Data from interviews were analyzed using descriptive methods which were presented in the form of tables and graphs. Results showed that privately owned forest were able to increase tree vegetation cover in Ciamis Regency by 3.367%. The bamboo privately owned forest was composed of wood and bamboo, fruit plants, plantation crops, horticulture, and food plants. Privately owned forest contribute 24.49% to farmers' income with coffee as the main commodity. Bamboo has contributed 15.42% of the income from privately owned forest. Farmers will keep maintaining bamboo trees because they have provided economic, social, and environmental benefits.
