Abstract

The tolerant seedlings are determined by their physiological and biochemical responses. This study aimed to determine stomatal density, relative water content, and proline in prope legitimate seedlings under drought stress. The research was carried out at the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Center in July 2018 – February 2019, arranged in a randomized split-plot experimental design with six replications. The main plot was soil moisture content, and the sub-plot was the cocoa prope legitimate seedlings. The differences of mean values were tested using analysis of variance, followed by the DMRT and T-student test at 5 % level, analysis of the relative decrease in stomatal density and relative water content, proline content ratio, and the dendrogram analysis. The results showed that the cocoa seedlings under drought experienced significant changes in relative water and proline content but not stomatal density. Drought decreased in the relative water content of 50% and increased proline content in the seedlings. The relative water and proline content divided the prope legitimate seedlings into two groups. The prope legitimate seedlings from KW 516, KW 641, Scavina 06, KKM 22, KW 617, and ICCRI 03 clones were drought-tolerant.

Abstract

Micropropagation is a valuable means for large-scale production and preservation of invasive alien species such as ragleaf. To determine the concentration of kinetin adequate for in vitro growth of the ragleaf flower, seeds of the plant were propagated in vitro using Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with basal 0.5 mg L-1 Naphthalene Acetic Acid and incubated for four weeks. The growing shoots were cut into pieces and inoculated into MS media with five kinetin concentrations: 0.0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mg L-1. The tubes were kept in an incubation room for seven weeks. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with ten replications. Shoot length (cm) and the number of leaves, nodes, and roots were measured. The control medium recorded less growth performance across all the variables, indicating the important role of the exogenous kinetin. The plants in 2.50 mg L-1 kinetin were the tallest (7.23±0.87 cm) with the highest number of leaves (28.17±2.57), nodes (10.50±1.02) and shoots (3.83±0.17). The media containing 2.50 mg L-1 kinetin also produced the highest number of roots (9.00), which is necessary for the survival of the seedlings. The results indicate that 2.5 mg L-1 is adequate for cultured C. crepidioides.

Abstract

The Myopopone castanea Smith (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is a predator of Oryctes rhinoceros Linn larvae, the main pest on oil palm plantations.  These predatory ants have potential as biological agents because they have similar niches to their prey. This research aimed to explore the presence and potential of M. castanea as bio-agents in oil palm plantations and obtain knowledge about the abiotic environment of Myopopone castanea ant nests. The research was conducted in oil palm plantations owned by PTPN 4 Adolina, PTPN 2 Pagar Merbau, and smallholder oil palm plantations in Binjai, North Sumatra Province.  Sampling was conducted using the purposive sampling method and as many as 10 sample points in each plantation. The results showed that the average temperature and humidity in the ant nests were 29.4 °C and 70.5%, respectively. The number of individual ants in a colony varied greatly in number and developmental stages. The predation potential of Myopopone castanea ants in the field reached 50.3% for five days of exposure in smallholder plantations and 46,9% in Adolina Plantation. This research could be the opportunity to use Myopopone castanea ants as a biological control for larvae Oryctes rhinoceros in oil palm plantations.

Abstract

Laboratory analysis is commonly used to determine nitrogen and chlorophyll content. However, smartphones can serve as rapid, mobile, and non-destructive tools for this purpose. An equation can be created to calculate nitrogen and chlorophyll content by analyzing color parameters from digital images of rice leaves. An examination was performed on 86 rice leaf samples from the maximum tillering and mature stages. Rice leaf photos were taken with a smartphone in natural outdoor lighting. Color calibration with Spydercheckr was needed to adjust for lighting conditions. Uncalibrated and calibrated image data were analyzed to determine RGB values converted into CIELAB color space. The L*, a*, and b* values had a significant correlation with SPAD parameters, nitrogen concentration, chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll content. This connection was higher after image calibration. The study found that smartphone images could predict SPAD values with 87.9% to 92.3% precision, depending on color space. Using a smartphone digital picture of L* and a* values, N content could be estimated with 84.7% and 81.9% accuracy. Average accuracy for chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll content was 65% to 76%. This study shows smartphone images can estimate rice leaf SPAD and nitrogen content.
