Abstract

Five shallot varieties namely ‘Bauji’, ‘Bantaeng’, ‘Tuk Tuk’, ‘Rubaru’, and ‘Palasa’ were examined for their leaf pigment, total phenolic content, leaf tissue nutrient analysis, and green shallot production. The experiment was conducted in in Cikabayan greenhouse, IPB University, Dermaga, Bogor, arranged in a randomized complete block design with single factor (variety) and three replications. The observations were carried out three times in the maximum vegetative period, consisting of 20, 30, and 40 days after planting. The result showed that ‘Palasa’ had the highest leaf pigment content, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoid, while the anthocyanin content fluctuated between the varieties and observation times. ‘Palasa’ also had the highest sulfur content in the leaf tissues. On the contrary, ‘Palasa’ had the lowest production compared to other the varieties. Meanwhile, ‘Bantaeng’ had the highest green shallot production, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus content in the leaf tissues. Total phenolic content fluctuated in the five varieties and observation times. The highest total phenolic content was in ‘Tuk Tuk’, observed 20 days after planting. The principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the five shallot varieties formed three clusters. The first was ‘Palasa’, the second cluster was ‘Bauji’, ‘Tuk Tuk’, and ‘Rubaru’, while the third cluster was ‘Bantaeng’. ‘Palasa’ had the highest content of leaf pigment, while Bantaeng had the highest leaf production. Leaf pigment and total phenolic content changed along with the increasing plant age in all varieties.

Abstract

Nutrient elements that are needed by plants during its growth and development is nitrogen. Nitrogen deficiency can cause plants to become necrosis so that plants are not able to photosynthesize well, thus result in lack of food needed by plants. Microalgae can provide nitrogen for rice crops due to its activity. The aim of this research was to know the effect of microalgae from nontidal swamp land to reduce the use of inorganic N fertilizer in paddy field. The study was conducted from January to April 2017, using factorial completely randomized design with two factors, namely isolate and dosage of nitrogen fertilizer. The first factor is the type of the isolate (I), consisting of cultures from the area of rice cultivation (I1), the culture originating from the area around the rice fields (I2) and the cultures of area without rice cultivation (I3) area. The second factor is the dose of nitrogen fertilizer (N) consisting of 0%, 50% and 100%. The results showed that the treatment of the isolate (I) or dosage of nitrogen fertilizer had a significant effect on the weight of 1000 filled grains and the weight of empty grains in the generative phase of rice plant. The interaction between both treatments had a significant effect on the generative (production) phase. The microalgae culture from area of rice cultivation (I1) can contribute nitrogen requirement of 16.23% - 48.71% with an abundance of 7.48 cells ml-1, with the requirement of rice plant nitrogen fertilizer of 45-135 kg ha-1.

Abstract

Lecanicillium lecanii is an insect pathogenic fungus that is often used for pest control and has a wide range of hosts. The L. lecanii is capable of infecting several types of host insects including the Order Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Thysanoptera and Coleoptera. The extent of this fungus host range was feared to have a negative effect on predator insects Menochilus sexmaculatus. This study aims were to determined the pathogenicity of the fungus L. lecanii against the imago predatory beetle M. sexmaculatus, to know how the predation ability and the number of eggs fecundity of Imago M. sexmaculatus after application L. lecanii. The research was arranged in Randomized Block Design with 4 replications. The conidia density of L. lecanii used were 106, 107, 108, 109 conidia/ml, 1 ml / l of lufenuron insecticide as positive control and sterile distilled water as negative control. The research showed that the mortality percentage of M. sexmaculatus due to L. lecanii application is low and medium. The L. lecanii was not affected for preying ability on imago M. sexmaculatus but gave effect to the number of eggs fecundity of imago M. sexmaculatus.

Abstract

Pepper production has decreased recently, especially due to yellow diseases of Fusarium sp. Thus, this research aimed to isolate and characterize Fusarium sp. from soil and root of healthy and diseased pepper plants. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Soil and root pepper samples were taken from lands in Payung and Ranggung Village, Payung District, South Bangka Regency. There were 3 varieties of pepper plant used, including Petaling 1, Nyelungkup, and Merapin Daun Kecil. The characterization of Fusarium sp. isolate included macroscopic and microscopic observation. Macroscopic observation included colony color, colony base color, and growth rate/colony diameter size (cm), while microscopic observation included hyphae structure, and the shape and size of microconidia, macroconidia, chlamydospore, and conidiophore. The research found 66 isolates of Fusarium genus based on the colony color. Most of the isolates were white or purple and red. Colony color of Fusarium sp. showed white color, which then turned to orange color. All isolates showed septate hyphae. Isolates with macroconidia 3-4 septate and micronidia 0-1 septate showed the character of Fusarium oxysporum, while isolates with macroconidia 3-5 septate and microconidia 0-2 septate showed the character of Fusarium solani.

Abstract

Strawberries are often transported and sold without temperature control, which causes huge losses due to rapid decay and quality deterioration. In this study, the effectiveness of edible coatings using alginate and enriched with an antibacterial agent (cinnamaldehyde from Cinnamomum burmannii essential oil), to maintain the quality and shelf life of strawberry was examined. Alginate coatings were prepared by dissolving 2%(w/v) sodium alginate, 0.5%(v/v) glycerol, 0.1%(w/v) CMC, and 0.5% (w/v) stearic acid, while antimicrobial agent was prepared by homogenizing 0.5%(v/v) cinnamon essential oil and 0.2%(v/v) Tween 20. Physicochemical and biochemical attributes [weight loss, firmness, color (L*, a*, b*), soluble solids content, vitamin C loss, acidity level, odor, total yeast and molds, and total mesophilic microorganisms were analyzed during storage under tropical conditions at 27±2°C. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA followed by a Tukey test. The inhibitory activity of antimicrobial agent was evaluated using the disc diffusion method. An alginate-based coatings enriched with Cinnamomum burmannii essential oil (AL+CBEO) was effective in maintaining physicochemical quality attributes and reducing the number of spoilage microorganisms, while alginate coatings alone (AL) found to be optimal for vitamin C loss prevention and additionally exhibited a more desirable odor. Overall, strawberry stored under tropical conditions appeared to be better preserved by alginate-based coatings enriched with cinnamon essential oil.

Abstract

The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda is an emerging new pest species in several Asian countries including Indonesia. This pest can be a threat to Indonesian agriculture because this pest has been reported to cause many losses in other countries. As a preemptive and ecofriendly control strategy, a research to study the performance of Telenomus remus as potential biocontrol agent of this pest was done in laboratory scale. Research was done by exposing an adult female to 50 eggs of S. frugiperda in a cluster. We also exposed the female parasitoid to another 50 eggs of S. litura in a cluster for comparison since this parasitoid had been reported as S. litura egg parasitoid in Indonesia previously. Results showed that there are no difference in the numbers of parasitized eggs, parasitism rate, survival rates and percent females of T. remus reared from both S. frugiperda and S litura, which implies the effectiveness of T. remus as a candidate for bio control agent for S. frugiperda.

Abstract

Rice is the primary food commodity in Indonesia. To increase the rice production, urea fertilizer has been excessively used, specifically on marginal land. However, it has no desired effect on the plant’s Nitrogen uptake due to volatilization. Previous studies suggest the use of zeolite to be mixed with urea to reduce the volatilization rate. This study aimed to determine the effect of six NP-SR (Nitrogen Phosphorus Slow Release) fertilizer compositions (without NP-SR; 20.69-0; 19.7-5; 17.27-10; 15.9-15; and 18.94-20) on soil chemical properties, nitrogen efficiency, and paddy rice yield on Ultisols at three waterlogging levels (0.5 cm, 3 cm, and 5 cm). The study was an experiment arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of two factors, which were waterlogging levels and NP-SR fertilizer compositions. The results showed that waterlogging treatments significantly affected soil chemical properties in the initial vegetative and harvest phases. It can be concluded that the treatment of flooding (up to 3 cm) and fertilizer (NP-SR of 15.90-15) application could significantly reduce the volatilization rate, increase the efficiency of N fertilizer, and increase rice yield.
