Growth and Yield of Shallot (Allium cepa L. Aggregatum group) with Application of Beneficial Microorganisms
Get PDFShallot (Allium cepa L. Aggregatum group) is one of the most widely utilized vegetables by Indonesian people. Some technologies have been adapted to improved shallot productivity. One of those are the application of beneficial microorganisms. We applied mycorrhizal fungi, Trichoderma sp., and Bacillus thuringiensis as well as the combination among these microorganisms were applied in Shallots cultivation and were investigated to improve the growth and development of shallot. A field experiment was arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with two treatment factors. The first factor consisted of two shallot cultivars, namely Biru Lancor and Crok Kuning; whilst the second factor consisted of six beneficial microorganism treatments, i.e. control, mycorrhizae, Trichoderma sp., Bacillus thuringiensis, the combination of mycorrhizae and Trichoderma sp., and the combination of those three microorganisms. The observation was conducted on infection percentage of mycorrhizae, total population of Trichoderma sp., leaf area, leaf area index, net assimilation rate, crop growth rate, harvest index, and plant yield. The data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significance level. The results showed the leaf area of shallot was improved as affected by the application of mycorrhizal fungi. The effectiveness and implication of mycorrhizal fungi on shallot growth would decrease if the application of was combined with other microorganisms. However, the application of beneficial microorganisms had not been able to increase component yield and yield of Biru Lancor and Crok Kuning, indicated by bulb weight, number of bulb, bulb diameter, number of bulb per cluster, and bulb yield per hectare
Influences of Urea and Za Fertilizers to Soil Chemical Properties, N Uptake and Sugarcane Growth in Ultisols Seputih Mataram, Lampung
Get PDFUltisols is a less fertile soil also esay to soil leaching and erosion can cause lower efficiency of soil nutrient uptakes such as Nitrogen. The objective of this research was to find out the influences of Urea and ZA fertilizers to soil chemical properties, N uptake and sugarcane growth in Seputih Mataram Ultisols in Lampung. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in 2 factors and 3 blocks for repetitions. The first factor was the sugarcane varieties; TC-09 (V1) sugarcane variety and TC-15 (V2) sugarcane variety. The second factor was fertilizer doses and combinations in 7 levels: 0 kg N/ha or without N fertilizer (N0); 100% of urea fertilizer from total of standard dosage of SGC (151 kgs of N/ha), which is 328 kg Urea/ha (N1); 86% urea and 14% ZA or 283 kg urea/ha and 100 kg ZA/ha (N2); 75% urea and 25% ZA or 246 kg urea/ha and 100 kg ZA/ha (N3); 50% urea and 50% ZA or 164 kg ura/ha and 360 kg ZA/ha (N4); 25% urea and 75% ZA or 82 kg urea/ha and 539 kg ZA/ha (N5); and 100% ZA fertilizer of 719 kg ZA/ha (N6). This results showed that Urea at the dosage of 328 without Za is the most effective and economist combination to increase the weight of sugar-cane per hectare, N uptake of plants, and N efficiency uptake of plants. Additional dosage of ZA increased soil acidity (decreased of soil pH). The study also showed recent that the weight and amount of population per hectare of TC 15 variety are higher than TC 09 variety
Various Soil Types, Organic Fertilizers and Doses with Growth and Yields of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni M
Get PDFStevia has several advantages including the level of sweetness that reaches 100-200 the sweetness of sugar cane and low calorie so that it is safe to be consumed by diabetics and obesity. The possibilities of plants to grow on soil properties and fertility become an important issue in agricultural cultivation systems and with the treatment of organic fertilizers will produce significant results in agricultural research. The experiments were arranged in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 various soil types of treatment factors: Alfisol (Al), Andisol (An) and Vertisol (Ve) soil with 2 types of organic fertilizer ie Compost (K) and Manure (SK) and 3 kinds of doses 20 ton/ha (12 g/pot), 40 ton/ha (24 g/pot) and 60 ton/ha (36 g/pot). Observational data were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA), if there was a real significant difference, the Duncan 5% real level to know the comparison between treatments. The results showed that the soil type of Vertisol given by compost fertilizer at 40 ton/ha (24 g/pot) gave the highest yield on all agronomic parameters, i.e. number of leaves, number of clumps, plant length, dry weight and wet weight. The result of production analysis shows that stevia at lowland can yield higher, on vertisol 2,7 ton/ha, alfisol 1 ton/ha and andisol 0,4 ton/ha whereas in highland that yield only 0,3 ton / ha (standard fertilizers) but with increasing amounts of biomass of stevia leaves can increase stevioside levels significantly
Diversity Analysis of 15 Hibiscus Accession Based on RAPD Marker
Get PDFGenus Hibiscus consist of 300 species in tropical and subtropical regions. Indonesia has many species of Hibiscus genus such as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, kenaf, rosella, waru, sharon, and others. These species have similar flower morphology despite their different benefits. Flower morphology can be use as morphological marker characters to identify the genetic relationship in one genus of Hibiscus. However, morphological markers are less accurate because they are strongly influenced by the environment, requiring quite amount of time, and showing limited and inconsistent diversity. These limitations make researcher chooses molecular markers that are considered more accurate because the material used is plant DNA. One of the most used molecular marker is Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). This study used DNA extraction from the leaf of 15 Hibiscus genus. The next steps were DNA quantification, temperature and primer optimization, DNA amplification with PCR, electrophoresis with agarose gel, and data analysis. The result showed 10 primers operon used for Hibiscus to produce many polymorphic bands. Analysis result showed a high diversity in control population (Hibiscus cannabinus (K1), Hibiscus sabdariffa (K2) Hibiscus mutabilis (K3), Hibiscus syriacus (K4), Hibiscus schizopetalus (K5)) while in Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, the diversity was low especially on the genotypes of flowers with the same color. Molecular marker is a right way to identify the diversity in a population. Control group which consist of Hibiscus cannabinus, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Hibiscus mutabilis, Hibiscus syriacus and Hibiscus schizopetalus has high heterozygosity means control group has high diversity. From the PCA result, grouping in control plants is based on their age (perennial and annual), while in Hibiscus rosa-sinensis the grouping is based on the flowers color. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is cross pollinated plants caused the position stigma higher than anthers, its prooved by this experiment that varians within population Hibiscus rosa-sinensis higher than among population
