Abstract

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize the importance of sustainable agricultural practices. Enhancing the potential of lowfertility soils through eco-friendly practices is essential for increasing agricultural productivity and fulfilling SDGs. This study evaluated the effects of different timings of chicken manure application on the growth and yield of Chiang Mai 84-2 vegetable soybean (Glycine max L.) in low-fertility soils. Adopting a pot experiment, this research was carried out following a randomized complete block design with four replications and five treatments: 1) control (no fertilizer applied), 2) chicken manure and chemical fertilizer application as recommended by the Department of Agriculture in Thailand, 3) 100% chicken manure at the recommended nitrogen rate with a single application, 4) 100% chicken manure at the recommended nitrogen rate split into two applications, and 5) 100% chicken manure at the recommended nitrogen rate split into three applications. The results showed that Treatment 5 had the highest economic yield (724.5 kg/ha), but there was no significant difference compared to Treatment 2 (657.3 kg/ha). Therefore, utilizing split chicken manure fertilization provides economic benefits by reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and enhancing soybean yield in low-fertility soils. Additionally, it offers environmental advantages by recycling waste and minimizing nitrogen loss.

Abstract

Red onion (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) is one of the high value horticultural commodities in Indonesia and widely used in traditional cuisine. However, annual growth in production is limited by adverse climatic conditions, diseases, pest attacks and inconsistent cultivation practices. The red onion caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua Hübner) is a significant insect pest that causes heavy losses in yield and quality. The combined effects of Mexican sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia) leaf extract and the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana on S. exigua are not well known, although interest in the use of botanical and biological control methods has increased recently. The present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of this natural mixture formulation as a sustainable pest control method. This experiment was conducted at West Java Provincial Horticultural Seed Center using Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments and four replications. Treatments were a control () and six concentrations of T. diversifolia extract (10, 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110 mL/L) with constant concentration of B. bassiana (14 g/L). The highest concentration (110 mL/L) showed the best performance, with larval mortality rate of 82.49% and reduction in damage intensity of 57.46%. The results indicate that this combined botanical and microbial formulation has the potential to be an environmentally friendly insecticide for sustainable management of red onion pests in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research examined the use of Green Technology Plus (GTP) elements and how they influence the climate resilience of rice growers in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Between July and September 2024, a cross-sectional survey was carried out involving 200 rice farmers across Deli Serdang, Serdang Bedagai, and Asahan. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, field observations, and stakeholder interviews, and subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and scenario-based yield assessment. Renewable energy use (45%) and water-efficient management (40%) demonstrated the highest adoption rates, while climate information services (15%) and crop diversification (20%) were implemented less frequently. Infrastructure optimization was the strongest predictor of farmer resilience (β = 0.42, p < 0.001). Subsequently, improvements included water-efficient management, the use of renewable energy, climate information services, organic fertilizers, and crop diversification. The adoption of precision agriculture tools resulted in a positive effect that was not statistically significant (β = 0.10, p = 0.329). Scenario analysis shows that optimizing infrastructure increased simulated rice yields by 14–19%, with the greatest improvements observed during drought conditions. Improving irrigation, drainage, localized climate services, and farmer training is essential to converting GTP adoption into measurable resilience gains.

Abstract

Chili is one of Indonesia's leading commodities with high economic value. The primary cause of instability in chili production in Indonesia is anthracnose disease infection. This study aims to observe the visual appearance of infrared thermography using a thermal camera and to analyze the post-harvest quality of healthy red chili fruits until anthracnose disease is detected. The study was conducted at the Agrotechnology Laboratory, Gunadarma University, from July to September 2025. Fresh red chilies, specifically cayenne (S1), curly (S2), and large (S3), were used. These three types of red chilies were divided into two groups: those without Colletotrichum inoculation (C0) and those with Colletotrichum inoculation (C1). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with a significance level of α = 5% (P < 0.05), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the visual appearance and infrared thermography images obtained with a thermal camera can indicate a decline in quality and symptoms of anthracnose infection caused by Colletotrichum inoculation on the eighth day after inoculation. The post-harvest quality of healthy red chilies, even after anthracnose disease was detected following Colletotrichum inoculation, tended to fluctuate, with sharp changes observed on the second day after inoculation. Weight loss increased, and vitamin C content decreased with longer storage duration.

Abstract

Grapes are one of the most popular horticultural commodities with high economic value. Grapes have a relatively short shelf life, and their quality will decrease during storage. The application of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is one innovative method with potential for post-harvest handling. This study aims to evaluate the effect of LED application on the quality and shelf life of the grape fruit ‘Gozv’. This study used a completely randomized design, with five LED treatments tested: red, green, blue, white, and control. The fruit was stored at room temperature under LED lighting for 12 hours per day. The results showed that blue LED significantly reduced weight loss by 39% and extended shelf life by up to 4 days compared with the control. The blue-LED also resulted the lowest softening, at 47.97 mm/kg, while the control fruit had 54.7 mm/kg. The blue LED increased total soluble solids by 6,8%, reduced respiration rates by up to 36%, and reduced ethylene production by 32%. White LED  increase glucose and fructose contents, but with higher weight loss. Among the LED light colors applied, the blue LED was identified as the most effective treatment for improving the quality and extending the shelf life of grape fruit.

Abstract

Coffee production is highly vulnerable to pests, making Integrated Pest Management (IPM) vital for sustainable cultivation. This study presents the first bibliometric and ecological synthesis of coffee IPM, analyzing 655 Scopus publications from 1977–2024. Annual output grew 8.68%, with rapid expansion after 2000, reflecting rising global focus on sustainable pest control. Research is dominated by Brazil, the USA, and Mexico, with contributions from Indonesia, Colombia, and Europe, supported by 33.74% international co-authorship. Influential scholars (e.g., Perfecto I., Vandermeer J.) and journals such as Biological Control and Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment have structured the field. Thematic focus has shifted from pest specific studies (e.g., Ceratitis capitata) toward biological control and ecosystem based strategies. Key natural enemies include Hymenoptera, entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana), and predatory mites. Pollination services are now recognized as a critical yet underused ecosystem function, directly enhancing fruit set and yield stability. Persistent gaps remain in species level resolution, field validation, and smallholder adoption. Emerging tools AI monitoring, climate smart practices, and participatory approaches signal IPM’s role in resilient coffee agroecosystems.

Abstract

Both chemically and physically, mutation induction is currently being intensively carried out to increase the genetic diversity of porang. However, in-depth evaluation of changes in secondary metabolites after mutation induction has not been widely implemented. Therefore, this study aims to classify the profile of secondary metabolites of porang after colchicine mutation induction and analyze the relationship between these metabolites and the glucomannan synthesis pathway. Porang explants induced with a variation of colchicine concentration were used for profiling metabolite analysis. The metabolite profile was identified using GC-MS (Gas chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry) and then analyzed using MetaboAnalyst. The construction of the metabolite pathway network was carried out using Cytoscape software. 0.02% of colchicine resulted mixoploid porang and has a different metabolite profile than normal porang. In addition, mixoploid porang (0.02% colchicine) has more metabolite content related to glucomannan synthesis. Therefore, mutation induction using a colchicine concentration of 0.02% is recommended to produce superior porang

Abstract

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) has potential as a functional horticultural crop for lowland production; however, its productivity is constrained by high root-zone temperature, intense radiation, and soil-moisture fluctuations. A field experiment using a split-plot design with three replications was conducted from September to November 2022 at Agrotechno Park Jatikerto, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia. The main-plot factor was the planting time of Arachis pintoi, consisting of three levels: 4 weeks before beetroot transplanting, 2 weeks before beetroot transplanting, and simultaneous planting with beetroot. The subplot factor was A. pintoi spacing, consisting of 5 × 20, 5 × 15, and 5 × 10 cm. Planting time significantly affected vegetative growth and yield components, whereas spacing mainly influenced total soluble solids and soil microclimate. Significant interactions were observed for storage-root fresh weight, soil temperature, and soil moisture. The highest storage-root fresh weight was obtained from simultaneous planting at 5 × 20 cm, reaching 285.09 g plant⁻¹. Conversely, 5 × 10 cm spacing reduced soil temperature to 24.79 °C and maintained soil moisture up to 75.83%, but did not produce the highest yield. These findings indicate a trade-off between microclimate improvement and crop yield performance, consistent with potential competition from the living biomulch.

Abstract

This study evaluated water consumption and yield in different transplanting systems during the dry season under sufficient water availability in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Evapotranspiration (ET) and yield were evaluated in four transplanting systems, i.e., conventional transplanting systems (TL, 7.31 hills m–2), Jejer Manten (JM, 19.05 hills m–2), Jajar Legowo (JL, 21.33 hills m–2), and the farmer-modified Jajar Legowo (JLM, 9.03 hills m–2). The lysimeter method was used to measure ET, and yield was measured in each transplanting system. Highest seasonal ET was in JM (325.54 mm), followed by JL (339.50 mm), TL (325.54 mm), and JLM (321.20 mm). Align with the highest ET, yield was also highest in JM (7.91 t ha–1), followed by JL (6.64 t ha–1), TL (5.30 t ha–1), and JLM (3.61 t ha–1). The higher yield in JM was primarily due to a synergistic combination of higher hill density, greater grain number per unit area, and filled grain percentage. Moreover, JM had the highest water use efficiency for yield (WUEy ), indicating that water was utilized more effectively for grain production. These findings suggest that the JM system can improve yield and WUE in West Sumatra under sufficient water availability

Abstract

The recent success of vegetatively propagated Indian rose onion (Allium cepa L.) in Malaysia, as demonstrated in prior agronomic trials, marks a breakthrough in tropical horticulture. However, the physiological and anatomical mechanisms underpinning this adaptation remain elusive. This study investigates the morphophysiological traits that enable rose onion to thrive under Malaysian lowland conditions. Anatomical imaging using cryo-scanning electron microscopy and cryostat showed thick epidermal walls, elongated pavement cells, and structurally reinforced guard cells, which are traits consistent with tropical acclimation. Physiological measurements via leaf-level gas exchange showed robust photosynthetic capacity, water use efficiency, and dynamic stomatal regulation. Correlation analysis between anatomical traits and physiological measurements confirmed that the observed structural features significantly influence carboxylation efficiency and water use efficiency. Together, these findings provide the first mechanistic explanation for rose onion’s resilience in Malaysia, identifying important morphological traits for onion adaptability and offering a framework for expanding vegetative onion cultivation in tropical agroecosystems.
