Yield, Capsaicin Content and Peroxidase Enzyme Activity of Four Chili Cultivars on Three Environments
Get PDFThe experiment aimed to determine the effect of different environment (altitude and drought stress) on the growth, yield per plants, capsaisin levels, and peroxidase activities of four chili cultivars. Capsicum annuum (‘Lado’ and ‘Gada’) and Capsicum frutescens (‘Pelita’ and ‘Sona’) were grown with standard cultivation in medium land (± 700 m asl, Kaliurang) and low land (112 m asl, Bulaksumur) in two environments i.e. standard cultivation and drought treatment. The cultivars were arranged in Complete Randomize Design with four replications in each environment. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance with orthogonal contrast model, while the GGE biplot was applied for identification of stability. The result showed significant interaction between environment and cultivar on plant height, fruit’s weight per plant and the contents of capsaicin. Medium land of Kaliurang had suitable environment for chili cultivation of four cultivars and the high capsaicin content of C. frutescens. ‘Gada’ was significantly higher than other cultivars for fruit weight per plant in all planting conditions, while ‘Sona’ had the highest capsaicin content and was stable in all environments. Drought stress increased capsaicin content in low capsaicin content variety, in contrast to high capsaicin content cultivar. Peroxidase enzyme activity of C. frutescens was significantly higher than C. annuum, while C. annuum cultivars also shown significantly different in peroxidase activity
Competitiveness of Tea Exports in Asean: A Constant Market Share Analysis
Get PDFThis study was aimed to find out the competitiveness of tea exports in ASEAN during 2011-2014. Competitiveness indicates a country ability to compete with other countries in international trade activities. Constant Market Share (CMS) employed to understand the weaknesses and strengths of a country viewed from the effect of exports growth. CMS results showed that the major weakness of tea exports in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam is the effect of market distribution. Market distribution effect indicated that their exports to countries with a high demand for tea in the world. On the other hand, the strengths of tea exports in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam are the effect of world exports growth, commodity composition effect, and the competitiveness effect. Conversely, the major weakness of tea exports in Indonesia is competitiveness effect, while the strengths are the effect of world exports growth and the effect of market distribution
Analysis of Soybean Availability in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aimed to determine the factors affected the soybean availability in Indonesia. This study used secondary data obtained from FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), World Bank, and the Ministry of Finance. In this study, the data from 1964 to 2013 used to determine the factors affected soybean availability in Indonesia . The Error Correction Model (ECM) was used to determine the factors affected soybean availability. The results showed that (1) the data were stationary at first difference; (2) the data used co-integrated means long-term parameters; (3) ECT coefficient was 0.846 (significant at α = 5%) indicated the model used was valid. Soybean availability in Indonesia in the short term was positively influenced by the total planted area, total soybean consumption, and soybean import tariffs. In the long term, soybean availability in Indonesia was positively influenced by the total planted area, productivity of soybean, domestic soybean prices, soybean consumption, and rupiah exchange rate to dollar. In the long-term, availability of soybeans was negatively affected by the price of imported soybean
Root Morphologycal Responses of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Hybrids to Copper Toxicity
Get PDFThe experiment aimed to identify the root response of eight oil palm hybrids to copper toxicity. The factorial treatments were arranged in Randomized Completely Block Design with three blocks as replication. The first factor was the copper toxicity, while eight oil palm hybrids (DxP) consisted of Yangabi (P1), Avros (P2), Langkat (P3), PPKS 239 (P4), Simalungun (P5), PPKS 718 (P6), PPKS 540 (P7), and Dumpy (P8) as second factor. Root growth variables were observed, including total root length, total root area, root volume and diameter, copper content on root, fractal dimension, relative root water content, fresh root weight, and root dry weight. Data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at α=5%. There was a declinning in total root length, volume and diameter, fresh and dry weight as the copper content rose on the root tissue, but no significant different was found in total root area
The Influence of Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioural Control Toward Snack Consumer Behaviour in Halal Labeling in Yogyakarta
Get PDFHalal label was not only related to substances forbidden for a particular religion, but was also associated with many other important things. The talk about halal label issue also meant a talk about health and hygiene. This research aimed to determine the learning level of consumer of the concept of halal-labeled snack; to know how to influence learning, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and the prices on consumer behaviour of packaged halal-labeled snack, either partially or simultaneously. The effect was determined using a multiple linear regression analysis. Data were collected through compiled structured questionnaires based on certain indicators addressed to 100 respondents. The sampling technique used in this study was a convenience sampling technique, where the sample was selected from members of the population willing to become respondents. The choice of location was determined intentionally (purposive). Attitude scale used was Likert scale, and scale variable used was interval scale. The results showed that the consumer learning level on a basic concept of halal contained in a halal label was very high. This was proven with the results of the interpretation of a score interval, i.e. 88.12%. Consumer behaviour towards snacks in packaging labeled halal simultaneously was influenced by learning, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and price, while attitude and price influenced partially
Population of Herbivorous and Carnivorous Arthropods in Rice Field Ecosystem Modified with Vermicompost and Flower Plants
Get PDFBiological diversity index could be used as an option to assess the stability of an agricultural ecosystem. This limited field research was aimed to determine the effect of vermicompost and flowering plants (Asteraceae) to the diversity of herbivore and carnivore arthropods (M+). Conventional treatment with the application of non-organic fertiliser and without the addition of flowering plant was used as control (M0). Sampling was conducted using insect nets, and began at 30 days after planting (DAT), and repeated every other week until before harvesting. The results showed that the diversity of herbivore and carnivore arthropods in modified plots with organic fertiliser worm cast and flower plants/habitat manipulated system (M+) was moderate (herbivores: Shannon diversity index from 1.1 - 2.2; carnivores: 1.93 - 2.09), as well as the diversity of arthropods in the field of non-modified/custom system (M0) (herbivores: Shanon index of 1.2 - 1.7; carnivore: 1.34 - 2.18). Meanwhile, the number of arthropod species found in the M+ plot was 59 species, consisted of 22 herbivores and 37 carnivores (9 order, 32 families, and 35 genera). Number of arthropods found in the M0 plot was 54 species, consisted of 17 species of herbivores and 37 species of carnivores (7 orders, 28 families, and 30 generas). Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the plot diversity M+ and M0. Nevertheless, mean diversity of the M+ plot tended to be higher (Shannon Index herbivore and carnivore = 1.6 = 2.01) compared with M0 plot (herbivore and carnivore = 1.45 = 1.76)

Get PDFThis study was aimed to detect the effect of various treatment periods of weedy on the growth and yield of soybean; and to determine the most appropriate time periods of weedy for soybean in agroforestry systems with kayu putih. The experiment had been conducted in Menggoran, BDH Playen, KPH Yogyakarta, Gunungkidul Regency, Special Province of Yogyakarta from February 28 to May 9, 2015. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three blocks as replications waas applied in this experiment. The treatments were weedy periods on 0, 14, 28, 42, and 56 days after planting (dap) and weed-free period on 0, 14, 28, 42, and 56 dap. The results showed that there were significant differences in the soil moisture content, root surface area, root length, chlorophyll content, root dry weight, shoot dry weight, dry weight of soybean seeds, and weed dry weight. The highest seed weight per hectare was found in weed-free until harvest treatment but it was not significantly different from weedy periods after 56 dap and weed-free after 14 dap. The effective periods of weedy time for soybean in agroforestry systems with kayu putih began at 28 dap - 56 dap
Risk Management Strategy on Shallot Farming in Bantul and Nganjuk Regency
Get PDFThe objectives of this research were to understand farmers’ perception to risk and risk management strategy on shallot farming. The research was conducted in Bantul and Nganjuk Regency. The number of samples taken were 57 farmers in Bantul and 90 farmers in Nganjuk. Analysis used was frequency table that disaggregate based on agroecosystem and cropping pattern. The result showed that according to farmers’ perception, production and price risk were high. Farmer's decision to follow dominant cropping pattern and production system reflected on the ex ante risk management strategies done by the farmers as their own respection. In the interactive risk management strategies, farmers tended to use chemical fertilizers over chemical pesticides. In ex post risk management strategy, in the failure of shallot farming, they kept cultivating shallot that their capital got on cash and input for shallot farming
In Vitro Induced Resistance of Fusarium Wilt Disease (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepae) by Salicylic Acid in Shallot CV ‘Bima Brebes’
Get PDFFusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cepae (Foc) is one of the most important diseases of onion in Indonesia. Induced resistance was one of the effective techniques to acquire resistance to fusarium wilt in shallot. Salicylic acid (SA) had been inferred to be in endogenous signal in the systemic acquired resistance response of plants. This research aimed to study the effect of exogenously added SA to resistance in shallot callus cv ‘Bima Brebes’ to fusarium wilt disease in vitro; and to determine the effective concentration of SA to induce resistance. A group of shallot callus was grown in MS medium containing varying SA concentration (0, 15, 20 and 25 ppm) in vitro for 2 weeks. Then, the callus were treated with toxin of Fusarium oxysporum, namely fusaric acid, to have observe the resistance response. In vitro selection was done twice in different fusaric acid concentration. Application of exogenous SA at all concentration did not suppres time of appearance of disease symptom yet. Toxic symptom in the callus was shown by the browning or blackening (off) of callus. Salicylic acid at concentration of 20 ppm effectively reduced the toxic symptom up to 16.66% and supported callus regeneration better than the concentration of 15 ppm and 25 ppm. The number of resistant callus regenerated was 66.67% at pretreatment of 20 ppm of SA
Various Shallot Seed Treatments with Trichoderma to Increase Growth and Yield on Sandy Coastal
Get PDFSandy coastal area is a poor land, with minimal nutrients and low ability to store water and nutrition. Therefore, plant is difficult to grow well, consequently the treatments for improving sandy coastal is required before planting to support their growth. Application of Trichoderma as a plant-growth promoting and controlling pathogens had been known. Shallot seed treatment by Trichoderma agents was intended to improve and support plant growth and yield in the sandy coastal land. The aim of experiment was to determine the most effective treatment to improve growth and yield of shallot on sandy coastal land. The experiment had been carried out in Yogyakarta during August - November 2015. The factorial treatments of cultivar and Trichoderma applications were arranged in Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The shallot cultivars consisted of Tiron, Crok, and Biru, while Trichoderma application consisted of control (no treatment), sprayed with Trichoderma, soaked in Trichoderma, matricontioning media i.e. rice husk charcoal and brick in combination with Trichoderma. The collected data related to plant growth and yield. The result showed that seed treatment methods with Trichoderma increased the plant height, the leaf area index, extensive root, net assimilation rate (NAR), plant growth rate (PGR), Nitrate Reductase Activities (NRA), total chlorophyll, and fresh bulb weight. The best technical treatment for cultivar Tiron was soaked with Trichoderma, and Crok was sprayed with Trichoderma, while Biru cultivar was using brick in combination with Trichoderma
