Abstract

Most of the social forestry program plantations in Bengkulu are in the form of mixed planting of coffee or rubber trees. The type of land use affects the production and decomposition of litterfall, which play an important role in nutrient cycle. The aim of the research was to determine the production and decomposition rate of litterfall in coffee (Coffee robusta) monoculture, coffee and Gliricidia sepium (gliricidia) agroforestry, and rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) monoculture. The research was arranged in a systematic design with three treatments and fifteen replications. The variables measured included production, composition, and decomposition rate of litterfall. The collected data were analyzed using T-test. According to the results, the litter production in coffee monoculture, agroforestry of coffee and gliricidia, and rubber monoculture was 1051.5, 1001.5, and 662.5 Kg ha-1 4 months-1 with the decomposition rate about 5.13, 4.25, and 5.28 gr m-2 4 months-1, consecutively.  The litterfall composition in the three types of land use consisted of leaf, twig, fruit, and flower. Leaf was the highest component of litterfall in coffee monoculture, agroforestry of coffee and gliricidia, and rubber monoculture, reaching 830.2 (78.99%), 646.7 (64.73%), and 391.0 (59.01%) kg ha-1, respectively. Nutrition analysis of leaf litterfall indicated that the highest content of C, N, P, and K was observed in agroforestry of coffee and gliricidia compared to other plantation types.

Abstract

The production of sugarcane in 2018 decreased due to the change in the cultivation method from lowland to upland. This research aimed to study the responses of growth and yield of two sugarcane varieties to the application of filter cake compost and inorganic fertilizer in upland sugarcane cultivation. This experiment was arranged in a split-split plot design consisting of three-factors, which were sugarcane varieties, the levels of filter cake compost, and the rates of inorganic fertilizer, assigned to the main plot, sub-plot, and sub-sub plots, respectively. The two sugarcane varieties were PS 881 and PS 862. The three levels of filter cake compost were 0, 5, 10 tons ha-1, and the four rates of inorganic fertilizers (percent of recommended dosage) were 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The results showed that the growth and yield of PS 862 was better than that of PS 881, shown in the plant height, stem diameter, number of stems, and the length of internodes. The use of filter cake compost at a dose of 5 tons ha-1 was more efficient, and it could provide an efficiency of 0.097 tons per kg of cane at a dose of 76.76% inorganic fertilizer. Yet, it cannot reduce the use of inorganic fertilizer in producing sugarcane yield.

Abstract

Dry matter content is one of the important characteristics of sweet potatoes in addition to high yield. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of promising sweet potato clones for higher root yield and dry matter content. A hundred promising sweet potato clones were evaluated and arranged in randomized block design with two replication. The variables observed included: weight of vine, harvest index, number of root per plot, the weight of root per plot, dry matter content, root yield, root skin color, and flesh color. The analysis of variance showed a significant difference among the tested genotypes in all traits observed. A hundred promising sweet potato clones showed that root yield has varied ranged from 4.88–41.38 t h-1 with an average 20.28 t h-1 and dry matter content ranged from 19.19 – 40.65% with an average 30.47%. Fifteen promising clones of a hundred clones tested had high root yield and dry matter content with varying color flesh.

Abstract

Rice production can be improved through extensification using sub-optimal lands. One type of land that can be used for extensification of rice production in D.I. Yogyakarta is eucalyptus agroforestry system in Playen, Gunung Kidul. Besides expanding the land use, it can also increase farmers’ income and ecological functions. However, this system has limiting factors such as the limited availability of water, which only relies on rain. Thus, proper water management and fertilization are necessary to fulfill water and nutrient requirements for rice growth. This study aimed to determine the effects of the application of trenches with organic matter and the doses of KCl on the growth and yield of upland rice (Situ Patenggang) in eucalyptus agroforestry systems. The study was conducted at the Menggoran Forest Management Resort, Bleberan, Playen, Gunung Kidul in March-August 2018. The study was arranged in a split-plot design with three blocks as replications. The first factor was the application of trenches with organic matter, while the second factor was KCl fertilizer at. various doses. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the level of 5%. The optimal dose of KCl fertilizer was determined by regression. The results showed that both factors had a positive effect on soil moisture content, growth, physiology, and yields of upland rice. The treatments significantly increased the availability of water in the soil, thereby supporting the growth and yield of upland rice.
