The Effect Of Dosing Potash Fertilizer And Compost Doses Of Empty Bunches Of Oil Palm (Tkks) On The Growth Of Citronella Plants (Cymbopogon Nardus L.)
Citronella is a biopharmaceutical plant that has the main content of citronella and geraniol as raw materials in the manufacture of essential oils (citronella oil) which have high economic value. The production of citronella increases every year although the amount is still small when compared to the production of other biopharmaceutical plants. So it is necessary to increase the productivity of citronella plants with the use of the right dose of fertilizer. This study aims to determine the effect of potassium fertilizer dose and Compost Dose of Empty Palm Oil Bunches (EFB) on the growth of citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.). The research was started in February-June 2022 at Balai Pengkajian Teknologi Pertanian (BPTP) Banten, Ciruas District, Serang Regency, Banten and the Laboratory of the Department of Agroecotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) method which consisted of two factors, namely potassium fertilizer dose and Compost Dose of Empty Palm Oil Bunches (EFB). The first factor has 4 levels, 0 kg/ha potassium (K0), 15 kg/ha (K1), 30 kg/ha (K2) and 45 kg/ha (K3). The second factor has 4 levels, 0 tons/ha (T0), 20 tons/ha (T1), 30 tons/ha (T2) and 40 tons/ha (T3). There were 16 treatment combinations with 3 replications so 48 experimental units were obtained. Each experimental unit contained 2 polybags where each polybag contained 2 plants, so the total plants in the study were 192 plants. The results showed that the dose of potassium fertilizer 30 kg/ha gave the best results on plant height parameters at the age of 3, 4, 5, 6 WAP, the dose of potassium fertilizer 15 kg/ha gave the best results on the number of leaves aged 1 WAP. Dosage of 40 tons/ha of TKKS compost gave the best results on the number of leaves aged 5 and 6 WAP. There was no interaction between the dose of potassium fertilizer and the dose of TKKS compost on all parameters at the age of 1-12 WA

The Effect of Humic and Salicylic Acid on Improving Salt Tolerance of Yellow Hot Chili (Capsicum annuum L.)
Salt stress adversely affects the physiological processes of plants, causing negative changes in the morphology and anatomy of cells, tissues and organs. In order to adapt to the increasingly complex situation of saline intrusion, application of exogenous plant growth regulators shows many positive results to improve the crop's tolerance. In order to survey the effects of humic acid and salicylic acid on yellow hot chili (Capsicum annuum L.), the study was experiated in the greenhouse of Kien Giang University. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design, including 2 factors: humic acid (with 4 concentrations: 0 ppm, 1,000 ppm, 1,500 ppm and 2,000 ppm) and salicylic acid (with 4 concentrations: 0 mM, 1 mM, 1.5 mM and 2 mM) were treated separately or in combination (including 16 treatments with 3 replicates). The results showed that the yellow hot chili could grow and bear fruit when watered with saline water from 30 days after planting, however, the yield was low. The record indicated that supplying humic acid at 1,500 ppm into the soil and spraying with salicylic acid at 2 mM to the leaves gave the most effective results, increasing 82% of the yield compared with the control
The Effectivity of Indigenous Rhizobacteria and Manure on the Yield of Red Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Potatoes are one of the world's five food crops in the form of tubers and have many benefits. One type of potato developed in Indonesia is red potatoes because they have a high nutritional content and are more susceptible to plant pest organisms. An experiment was conducted in Nagari Selayo Tanang Bukit Sileh, Lembang Jaya, Solok, West Sumatra, Indonesia from May to August 2017. The effect of three indigenous rizobacteria (A2.1b2, A3.1a5 and B1.2a2) and three types of manure, both individually and in combination, on the growth and yield of red potatoes was studied. A two way factorial experiment with a completely randomized design and three replicates was used. Chicken, quail and cattle manure were applied at a dose of 30 tons per hectare. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and comparison of mean using the Honestly Significant Difference test at the 5% level. There was no interaction between rizobacterial isolates and manure on the growth and yield of red potatoes. All isolates gave similar results with respect to plant growth, but isolates A2.1b2 give the best yields. Chicken manure increased fresh weight of tubers by 11.73 ton per hectare compared to quail and cattle manure
