Abstract

Vanilla plants are CAM species and are very sensitive to direct sunlight. Shade plants are crucial for mitigating the intensity of sunlight to protect vanilla plants. The physiological properties of vanilla plants under different shade trees were studied to understand how shade trees affect vanilla plants. The research applied a randomized completely block design with four groups. Planting was carried out using four shade plants, including Gliricidia sepium, Syzygium aromaticums, Erythrina variegata, and Leucaena leucocephala. Microclimate conditions such as temperature, humidity, and sunlight intensity were observed three times a day (morning, afternoon, and evening). Physiological observation parameters include chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, total chlorophyll, proline, and relative water content. The research results showed that temperature, humidity, and intensity of sunlight varied depending on the type of shade plant. Types of shade plants significantly influence chlorophyll A content, chlorophyll B levels, total chlorophyll, proline, and relative water content. The conclusion indicated that the type of shade plant affects the microclimatic conditions of the vanilla plant, thereby influencing the physiological traits of the vanilla plant.

Abstract

Water clover is an important weed that causes a decrease in rice yields by 15-42%. This study examined the effects of water clover density andNPK fertilizer application on rice yields. This study was arranged in a complete randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was water clover density with three levels, consisting of no water clover, one water clover, and two water clover. The second factor was the application of NPK, which was applied to the surface, submerged in 3, 6, and 9 cm—performed with three replications. Water clover density affected the number of rice panicles, the number of rice grains per panicle, the weight of 100 seeds, rice biomass, and water clover biomass. The application of submerged NPK affected rice biomass. The application of NPK on the surface reduced the highest rice biomass. Two water clovers per rice plant reduced the number of rice panicles by 39% compared to without weeds. Rice biomass decreased by 40% and 50% at weed density of one and two water clover weeds per rice plant, respectively. The higher the density of clover weeds, the higher the decline in harvest yields and the higher the biomass of clover weeds.

Abstract

Agriculture land shows soil compaction problems due to long-term agricultural cultivation activities. Soil compaction indicator can be seen from the value of soil penetration resistance at different soil depths (0 - 60 cm). This research aimed to determine soil penetration resistance at different coffee plantation ages with different soil depths and to analyze the relationship between soil penetration resistance with soil physical characteristics and coffee productivity. The survey activities include observation of minipits, measuring soil penetration resistance at soil depths of 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, and 40-60 cm using a hand penetrometer, and soil sampling. The results showed that the soil penetration resistance at each LU and soil depth suggested variation were categorized into moderate and high soil penetration resistance classes (1.34 MPa - 3.35 MPa). Soil characteristics, such as soil aggregate stability, water content, bulk density, porosity, silt content, and clay content, significantly correlate with soil penetration resistance. However, soil penetration resistance has a negative correlation with coffee productivity. The value of soil penetration resistance (at a depth of 0-60 cm) has a significant negative correlation with the average productivity of coffee plantations (r=-0.5936**). Therefore, increased soil penetration resistance decreased root growth, decreasing plant productivity.

Abstract

Litter is a fragment of aboveground carbon stocks, a vital bridge to the belowground carbon cycle. Land conversion to agricultural purposes will affect litter production. This study aimed to compare the litter production of natural forests with cocoa-based agroforestry systems (AFS) in West Sumatra. Litter production was measured in five different types of ecosystems, namely natural forest (NF), cocoa-rubber-based AFS (CR), multistrata cocoa-based AFS (CM), cocoa-coconut-based AFS (CC), and cocoa monoculture (M). This study is quantitative research with the collection method. The difference in litter production between the five ecosystems observed was tested using ANOVA parametric statistical method. Litter was collected monthly for one year in which litter traps were evenly distributed in each research plot. Ecosystems of NF and M produced the highest annual litter (6.04 Mg ha-1 and 4.65 Mg ha-1 respectively), while CR produced the lowest one (2.52 Mg ha-1). Although this study did not perform comprehensive modeling of decomposition dynamics, the measurement of annual litter production can provide a further understanding of the dynamics of ecosystem carbon, especially in cocoa-based agroforestry.

Abstract

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is the main biopharmaceutical export commodity of Indonesia. However, its productivity and quality are low because it is not cultivated using optimal techniques. This study aimed to examine the effect of magnesium (Mg) fertilizer on the growth, rhizome yield, and essential oil content of two ginger varieties in the organic field. The two factors tested were the rate of Mg fertilizer application (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg MgOha-1) and the variety of ginger (elephant ginger [Zingiber officinale var. officinarum] and red ginger [Zingiber officinale var. rubrum]). The variables measured were plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers, rhizome weight, and essential oil content. Mg fertilizer application rate and ginger variety significantly affected growth, yield, and essential oil content. No interaction effects were found between the two factors. Mg fertilizer applied at 150 kg MgOha-1 resulted in the highest rhizome yield and essential oil content, with an increase of 21.74% and 15.38%, respectively, compared to the control (0 kg MgOha-1). The yield of elephant ginger was 29.41% higher than that of red ginger, whereas the essential oil content of the red ginger was 16.67% higher than that of the elephant ginger.

Abstract

Production of cherry tomatoes in Indonesia is still low, which might be due to the inappropriate planting and maintenance processes. This research applied biological agent microorganisms Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. as Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms (PGPM) in sustainable agricultural systems. This study aimed to determine the effect of the concentration of microorganisms Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. on the growth and production of cherry tomato plants on the polybag scale. The study was arranged with different concentrations of microorganisms Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. These concentration applied consisted of 1 : 0 ; 0 : 1 ; 2: 2 ; 3 ; 1 and without PGPM, each repeated four times. The results showed that the treatment of PGPM Streptomyces sp. and without Trichoderma sp. (1:0) resulted in the shortest flowering period (33.99 days after planting). Meanwhile, the treatment without Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. (0 : 1) produced the highest solid weight fruit (69.82 grams/plant).

Abstract

Rorippa indica L. Hiern is a local vegetable that is widely consumed by Dayak’s tribe in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. It is mostly traditionally cultivated without fertilizers, resulting in low productivity. The research aimed to investigate the effect of fertilizers and soil type on the growth characteristics and N uptake of R. indica. The experiment was arranged in a factorial completely randomized design consisting of two factors with four replications. The first factor was fertilizer application (control, 20 t ha-1 of chicken manure, and 600 kg ha-1 of NPK), and the second was soil type (peat and Ultisol). The results revealed that the interaction of fertilizers and soil type gave a non-significant effect on all variables observed, except N uptake. The application of NPK increased the plant height and number of leaves significantly. Compared to control, the increment was 112.50% and 130.32%, respectively, and chicken manure application increased the dry weight (327.87%), N total (310.16%), and N uptake of plants by 478% in peat soil and 228% in Ultisol. This finding concludes that 20 t ha-1 of chicken manure can be applied to increase the productivity of R. indica.

Abstract

Nanotechnology can be used to produce slow-release fertilizers. Zeolite and crab shells are materials that can be used as fertilizer encapsulation. This study aimed to compare the effects of nano zeolite and crab shells for encapsulation of nitrogen- potassium fertilizers tested on Entisols and Inceptisols soil on the growth and yield of shallots. The research method used a completely randomized design with three factors. The factors were soil type (Entisol and Inceptisol), coating materials (nano-zeolite and nano-crab shell), and NK fertilizer doses (125:50, 250:100, 375:150, and 500:200). The variables observed include initial soil physical and chemical properties, nanoparticle characterization, growth and yield, and agronomic efficiency. Nanoparticles were characterized using SEM and analyzed using ImageJ. The data collected were tested by ANOVA and Tukey. The ball milling method succeeded in producing 91.41% zeolite and 97.50% nano-sized crab shells. Plant height showed that using crab shells as fertilizer encapsulation with a dose of 125:50 gave better results. The yield of crab shells as encapsulation with a dose of 250:100 in inceptisols was better than that in entisols, but the highest agronomic efficiency (EA) was obtained in zeolite treatment as fertilizer encapsulation with a dose of 125:50.

Abstract

The growth and yield of plants are strongly influenced by the early growth ability of the plants. Similar germination and good seed vigor will greatly support plant growth and increase production. Increasing the germination and vigor of seeds can be done through biopriming. The application of biopriming using rhizobacteria is developing environmentally friendly agricultural technology. This study aimed to determine the effect of inoculation of rhizobacteria from the north coast of Pemalang on rice plants' germination and vigor index. The study was arranged in a Randomized Block Design, consisting of 10 treatments with three replications. Ten rhizobacteria isolates were isolated from the North Coast of Pemalang, Central Java, consisting of Ju1, Jn3, Jn1, J, J12, J5, Kn1, A3, Jn, and K3. The biopriming with rhizobacteria isolated from the rice rhizosphere of the Northern Coast of Pemalang increased the seed germination rate, seed vigor index, and early vegetative growth of rice seedlings. Inoculation with isolate J12 produced the highest vigor index of 8280.01. The results of this study imply that the application of rhizobacteria from saline soil has the potential to increase the vigor of rice seedlings to impact better seedling growth in saline conditions.
