Drought is one of the limiting factors for plant production, and there is a continuous demand for drought tolerant plants. Shallots are considered a shallow-rooted crop and have been reported to have little tolerance to drought conditions. One of the efforts to increase plant tolerance to drought conditions is through the addition of Methyl Jasmonic Acid (MeJA). MeJA is involved in several physiological and biochemical procedures in plant growth and development. Application of MeJA can increase the plant tolerance to drought conditions through chlorophyll synthesis, stomatal conductivity, transpiration, net photosynthetic rate and biomass production. This research was conducted in a complete randomized block design with three replications to determine the response of shallot plants to the application of MeJA (0 µM, 25 µM, 50 µM and 100 µM) under drought conditions, which was simulated through the frequency of watering (once daily, every other day, once in three days). Soil water content calculated before the watering treatment was 24.45%, 20.34% and 18.45% for watering once daily, every other day, once in three days, respectively. The results showed that the addition of MeJA played a role in enhancing the growth and productivity of shallot plants under normal and drought conditions. Application of 50 µM of MeJA could increase the Water Use Efficiency, maintain the Relative Water Content, increase the width of stomatal aperture, and increase the leaf area and Leaf Area Index. This also led to increasing Net Assimilation Rate and Plant Growth Rate. Application of 50 µM of MeJA gave in increasing bulb productivity and reached 7.86 ton.ha-1, which was 58.2 % higher than that of in control (without MeJA application). Application of MeJA to shallot plants exhibited avoiding type of physiological tolerance.

This study aimed at determining how different rates of poultry manure affected the growth and production of onions (Allium cepa L.) in wet and dry seasons. The experiment was conducted from July to October 2019 and from January to April 2020 at the Department of Crop Science teaching and research farm, University of Nigeria Nsukka, South Eastern Nigeria. The experiment applied a randomized complete block design with nine replications spread over three blocks. The treatments were four doses of poultry manure (0, 10, 20 and 30 t.ha-1) tried in two seasons (wet and dry season). Prior to the investigations, soil analysis of the experimental site and poultry manure nutrient content were carried out. The growth pattern and yield was higher during the wet season. Poultry manure at amount of 30 t.ha-1 gave the best growth attributes (number of leaves, leaf length, and leaf diameter) 14.22, 53.67 cm and 0.88 cm respectively while the 20 t.ha-1 had the highest plant height and bulb fresh weight, 60.86 cm and 2 kg/plant respectively. The trend was not the same as in dry season planting because 20 t.ha-1 poultry manure differs significantly from other rates of poultry manure considered. Plant height, leaf length, leaf diameter and bulb fresh weight (57.64 cm, 55.28 cm, 0.84 cm and 0.63 kg/plant respectively) were statistically significantly (p < 0.05) different at 5% probability level. Utilization of 20 t.ha-1 of poultry manure and planting in wet season gave the best growth and yield of onion vegetable.

Nanotechnology is a science that deals with objects measuring 1-100 nm that are different from their original properties. Nano-technology fertilizers are more reactive and on target with minimum use. Nanotechnology fertilizers can be utilized as slow-release fertilizers, allowing for optimum fertilizer uptake by plants. Because of the holes that can store nitrogen fertilizers, zeolite and bovine bone can be utilized as fertilizer coatings. This study was conducted at Universitas Gadjah Mada's Faculty of Agriculture. The research method used was a 2X5 factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with each treatment being repeated 3 times so that the total polybags used were 30 polybags. The first factor was the type of coating material for urea, nano zeolite, and nano bovine bone. The second factor consisted of a dose of coated urea fertilizer with five kinds of dose treatments, which were 0, 100, 200, 300, and 400kg.ha-1. ANOVA was used to analyze parameter data, followed by testing using the DMRT (Duncan's Multiple Range Test). When compared to nano bovine bone, the effectiveness of N removal with nano zeolite generated the best results as a slow-release fertilizer on N uptake. The best N fertilization dose with nano zeolite coating was 200 kg.ha-1, which increased corn plant growth by producing the highest plant height (167.17 cm) and N uptake of 1.6 g/plant. This research can be a recommendation for more effective and efficient Nitrogen fertilization for corn farmers.

The demand for tomato fruit has increased along with the human population. The increasing income of peoples also affect the demand orientation for high nutrition content and the shortage of resources is the obstacle for future tomato farming. Breeding tomato has been intended to create a new cultivar with high yield and quality. Previously, there were fourteen selected promising lines with high fruit firmness and yield components resulting from plant breeding program. Therefore, further steps need to be evaluated regarding yield potential and the plant quality. This study aimed to identify fourteen promising lines of high yield and high quality and compared to commercial varieties. Fourteen tomato accessions were evaluated by three control varieties. The accessions and controls varieties were assigned in a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data collections were analyzed using Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) analysis with α = 5%. Path analysis showed that the selection criteria for selecting high yield of tomato lines were fruit length, pulp thickness, fruit weight /plant, and flowers number per bunch. There were five lines of fourteen accessions which had high yield potential and four tomato lines which had worth considering fruit size and fruit firmness. These lines contained high potential characters to be used as breeding materials for improvement of hybrid.

The increase of Indonesian’s porang export has led into a new opportunity for better prosperity of local farmers. Thus, the demand for porang’s bulbil/ katak has risen due to its function for vegetative propagation. This study aimed to observe the growing and phytochemicals properties of porang tubers from bulbil with 10 bulbil weight categories samples, which were 0.5 g, 1 g, 1.5 g, 2 g, 2.5 g, 3 g, 3.5 g, 4 g, 4.5 g, and 5 g. The parameters observed were statistically analyzed in PAST 4.03. This study was conducted for three months and the results showed that samples from bulbil weighing 5 g had significant higher value than the others for the plant height, crown diameter, and stem diameter, but bulbil samples with other weights did not show any significant difference in porang tuber growth. Phytochemical’s analysis for dissolved protein resulting in 0.5 g weight sample was the best of all but random results for carbohydrate, antioxidants, polyphenol, and saponin.

During the period of growth and development, soybeans need loose soil that is rich in organic matter. Biochar is a soil amendment with high porosity and large surface area, resulting in nutrients and water to be well absorbed and retained. Intensive agricultural cultivation requires a supply of nutrients by the application of inorganic fertilizers such as N, P, and K. Organic matter needs to be applied to maintain soil fertility and balancing the dose of inorganic fertilizers. The study aimed to determine the effect of corncob biochar application and the dose reduction of N, P, K fertilizer on the growth and yield of soybean. The research was conducted from November 2020 to March 2021, located at Tridharma Farm, Yogyakarta. Randomized complete block design was used with the application of 10 t/ha of biochar and without biochar as the first factor. The second factor was the use of N, P, K fertilizers in 100%, 75%, 50%, and 0% of recommended doses. The application of biochar 10 t/ha on soybeans was able to increase physiological components which include stomatal opening, stomatal density, and N, P, K uptake; growth components which include root length density, root area density, leaf area, leaf area index, net assimilation rate, crop growth rate, plant dry weight, harvest index, and yield components which include number of nodes and pods per plant, 100 seed weight, grain weight per plant and grain yield. Dose reduction of fertilizers did not lead to decreasing the physiological activity, growth, and yield of soybeans.

Salinization reduces soil health and quality, drastically limiting growth and reducing land degradation and crop yield. This comprehensive research aimed to evaluate the impact of sodium chloride increment on growth factors, amount of oxidative stress biomarker (Malondialdehyde), osmotic response (evaluated by both proline and sugars contents), photosynthesis efficiency (expressed with chlorophyll fluorescence measurement) and activity of Malate dehydrogenases (MDHs) as a regulator under abiotic stress tolerantly in Aloe in Alzahra University, Tehran. Experiments were conducted in two studies at the following concentration of sodium chloride: 0 (control), 100, 200, and 300 (mM) NaCl for 30 days (short-term treatments) and: 0 (control), 54.7, 109.5, and 164.5 (mM) NaCl for 150 days (long-term treatments). Three replications in completely randomized design were applied. The results showed that while the fresh weight of belowground biomass declined at higher salinity level (164.5 mM), no significant differences were reported in the short period of salt treatments. A considerable amount of free proline was accumulated in both short (3.594 µg.g-1 dw) and long ( 2.20 µg.g-1 dw) term studies which raised the role of proline in osmoregulation. Our results showed the decline of MDA amount (0.0003mmol.g-1FW) in 54.7 NaCl (mM) that may be due to less membrane damage in presence of moderate salinity, indicating a variety of dependent differences in biochemical markers activity.

A rigid grid soil survey method at a very detailed level (100 × 100) m² (1 ha) with two mapping units identified and delineated. Each of the mapping unit was represented by a soil profile described from the lowest end to the upper part of the profiles to avoid contamination. Soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis from the various horizons identified. The results obtained, indicated that the soils were of Inceptisols/ Cambisol order, Udepts at the suborder level, Eutrudepts Great group level and Typic Eutrudepts (subgroup level). Thus, the drainage, parent materials, climate (rainfall), and vegetation of the area along with the geologic material, formed from the sedimentary rocks that were weathered into coastal plain sands and buried under alluvium at various degrees at different locations in the study area, greatly affected the soils of Teaching and Research Farm, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, which are primarily Inceptisols/ Cambisols.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of organic rice farming on the various forms of inorganic phosphorus, the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and carbon storage, and the relationship between DOC and P fractions in organic rice farming (ORF). The soil samples were taken from 11 organic plots, and three pseudo-replicates were sampled from individuals of various soil depths. The P-fractions, the soil organic carbon (SOC), DOC, and other soil properties were analyzed by standard methods from soils. The data were analyzed using One-way and Two-way ANOVA and tested using the least significant difference. The results showed that ORF soils had less labile P than conventional rice farming, while ORF had a higher average of DOC, SOC, and C stock than conventional rice soil (P<0.05). Organic fertilizers such as animal manure application and rice straw retention were used for ten years in the ORF. The agricultural practices of ORF would convince the amount of amorphous Fe and Al on soil minerals significantly and would increase the adsorption capacity of the soil mineral surfaces by organic fertilization. The Fe-P fraction responded to the increased adsorption capacity in the ORF and shown along with the DOC and P which were less than in ORF. Both of them were more adsorbed on the surface mineral. Meanwhile, the lower P for nutrient cycling in ORF soil, the lesser the decomposition of DOC and SOC, which then affected the increase of soil C storage.

The data were analyzed using One-way and Two-way ANOVA and tested using the least significant difference. The results showed that ORF soils had less labile P than conventional rice farming, while ORF had a higher average of DOC, SOC, and C stock than conventional rice soil (P<0.05). Organic fertilizers such as animal manure application and rice straw retention were used for ten years in the ORF. The agricultural practices of ORF would convince the amount of amorphous Fe and Al on soil minerals significantly and would increase the adsorption capacity of the soil mineral surfaces by organic fertilization. The Fe-P fraction responded to the increased adsorption capacity in the ORF and shown along with the DOC and P which were less than in ORF. Both of them were more adsorbed on the surface mineral. Meanwhile, the lower P for nutrient cycling in ORF soil, the lesser the decomposition of DOC and SOC, which then affected the increase of soil C storage.","PeriodicalId":13282,"journal":{"name":"Ilmu Pertanian (Agricultural Science)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46444369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Andisol is a soil that has andic properties and develops from volcanic parent materials, especially ash. Andic soil properties are formed due to weathering of tephra or other parent materials that contain volcanic glass in large quantities. The main components of soil-forming Andisol are amorphous (short-range-order) minerals, such as allophane, imogolite, ferrihydrite, and Al/Fe-humus complexes. The existence of short-range-order minerals causes Andisol to have high P-tapping ability, but efforts to lower the amount of P plunged with organic and inorganic an-ons have not been widely studied. This study aimed to compare the ability of humic acid, fulvic acid, and sulfate in suppressing P adsorption by amorphous minerals from the Andisol of Mount Dieng, Merbabu, and Sumbing. The highest calculation of % ferrihydrite was found at the location of Mount Merbabu with a value of 3.05%, while the % allophane + imogolite was determined by the content of Sio in the ground. The calculation results showed that the highest was found at the location of Mount Sumbing with a value of 7.17%. Based on TEM analysis, Mount Sumbing has allophane diameter of 2.24 – 5.93 nm and the imogolite length of 24 – 187 nm.
