Fertigation Methods and N Source on Chili through Drip Irrigation
Cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens L.) memiliki peran penting dalam menu masakan di Indonesia. Pengelolaan tanaman secara konvensional dengan pemupukan yang kurang efisien masih banyak dilakukan oleh petani, sebaliknya pemupukan secara fertigasi meningkatkan hasil dapat dan menurunkan biaya produksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui metode aplikasi pemupukan melalui irigasi dan sumber N yang dapat menigkatkan hasil cabai rawit dengan budidaya memakai mulsa plastik. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada jenis tanah Inceptisol (Dytropept Fluventik, Isohiperthermik). Perobaan dilakukan di Kebun Penelitian Institut Pertanian Bogor, Cikarawang. Percobaan pertama pada Juni-Desember 2016 disusun dalam rancangan acak kelompok (RAK), 4 ulangan dengan 3 metode aplikasi fertigasi: split, irigasi tetes, dan konvensional(tanpa fertigasi). Percobaan kedua dilakukan pada Maret-Oktober 2017 disusun dalam RAK dengan empat ulangan dengan perlakuan tiga sumber N (Urea (46% N), ZA (21% N), dan NPK (16-16-16)% N-P2O5, -K2O). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa split dan drip tidak memberikan pengaruh yang berbeda terhadap total panen dan hasil panen yang dapat dipasarkan, namun keduanya lebih tinggi dari hasil panen dengan konvensional. Hasil percobaan kedua menunjukkan bahwa semua sumber N tidak berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil panen cabai.
Kata kunci: irigasi mikro, nitrogen, mulsa plastik, pemupukanChili (Capsicum frutescens L.) has an important role in Indonesian cuisine. Conventional crop management with less-efficient fertilizer application was still commonly implemented by farmers; on the other hand, fertilizer application through fertilizer will increase yield and reduce production costs. Research objectives were to find out the best fertilizer application methods through drip irrigation and obtain a nitrogen fertilizer source that can increase polyethylene mulched chili yield. This research was conducted in Inceptisol (Dytropept Fluventik, Isohiperthermik) soil type. The experiment was conducted at Bogor Agricultural University Research Station, Cikarawang, from June to December 2016. The first experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three methods of fertilizer applications: split, drip, and conventional (no fertigation). The second experiment, from March to October 2017, was arranged in RCBD, with three N sources (Urea (46% N), ZA (21% N), and NPK (16-16-16)% N-P2O5,-K2O), with four replications. Results showed that split and drip fertigations had no different effect on total and marketable yield; however, the yields of both treatments were higher than that of conventional applications. The second experiment results showed that all N sources did not affect the growth and yield of chili.Keywords: fertilization, nitrogen, micro-irrigation, polyethylene mulc
Pengaruh Pemberian Mulsa dan Irigasi pada Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Bawang Merah (Allium cepa L. var. agregatum)
Ketersediaan air untuk tanaman dapat dipertahankan dengan pemberian irigasi dan penggunaan mulsa. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan volume irigasi pada berbagai jenis mulsa yang efisien untuk tanaman bawang merah varietas Bima Brebes. Rancangan penelitian tersusun secara acak kelompok dengan dua faktor dan tiga ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah tingkat volume irigasi berdasarkan evaporasi panci (Eo) yang terdiri dari 6 taraf yaitu 0.25 Eo, 0.50 Eo, 0.75 Eo, 1.00 Eo, 1.25 Eo, dan 1.50 Eo. Faktor kedua adalah jenis mulsa yang terdiri dari 3 taraf yaitu tanpa mulsa, mulsa plastik hitam perak, dan mulsa jerami. Interaksi antara volume irigasi dan jenis mulsa meningkatkan pertumbuhan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, jumlah anakan, volume akar, jumlah akar, bobot kering, diameter umbi, dan bobot basah umbi per rumpun. Kombinasi volume irigasi 1.50 Eo dengan mulsa plastik menghasilkan bobot basah umbi tertinggi dan tidak berbeda nyata dengan volume irigasi 0.50 Eo dan 0.75 Eo pada mulsa plastik serta volume irigasi 1.00 Eo dan 1.50 Eo tanpa pemberian mulsa. Kombinasi volume irigasi 0.50 Eo dengan pemakaian mulsa plastik direkomendasikan untuk alasan efisiensi pemakaian air dan penggunaan air yang lebih sedikit.

This study aimed to develop efficient irrigation volume on various types of mulch for growing shallot variety of Bima Brebes. The study was arranged in a randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications. The first factor was the level of irrigation based on pan evaporation, consisting of six levels: 0.25 Eo, 0.50 Eo, 0.75 Eo, 1.00 Eo, 1.25 Eo, and 1.50 Eo. The second factor was the type of mulch, consisting of three levels: without mulch, black silver plastic mulch, and rice straw mulch. The interaction between irrigation volume and mulch type increased plant height, number of leaves, number of shoots, root volume, number of root, total dry weight, bulb diameter, and bulbs weight. The combination of irrigation volume 1.50 Eo with plastic mulch produced the highest weight of bulbs similar to the combination of irrigation volume 0.50 Eo and 0.75 Eo on plastic mulch and irrigation volume 1.00 Eo and 1.50 Eo without mulching. A combination of irrigation volume 0.50 Eo and plastic mulch was recommended for water use efficiency and less use of water.

Dampak Suhu Tinggi terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Tanaman Padi
Global warming becomes a pressure in food production sustainability because it affected crop growth and development. The purpose of this study was to obtain information on the effect of high-temperature stress on the growth and development phase of rice and to evaluate the genotype for tolerance to high-temperature stress. Two environment conditions were used in the field and greenhouse of IPB Cikabayan experimental field, IPB University from August 2016 until February 2017. The study used varieties of IPB 4S, IPB 6R, Mekongga, and Situ Patenggang. High-temperature treatment was done by transferring the rice plants to the greenhouse at 50 days after transplanting. Observations were made on the generative phase in two different environmental conditions. The results showed that the total tillers number, filled grain number per panicle, unfilled grain number per panicle, total grain number per panicle, grain filling rate, percentage of filled grain and filled grain weight per plant had different responses among rice genotypes due to high-temperature stress. High-temperature decreased pollen fertility in all genotypes, which classified IPB 4S as a sensitive genotype and Mekongga as a tolerant genotype. This information could be useful for development and improving rice variety to anticipate high-temperature stress.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui tingkat konsentrasi larutan tepung umbi teki yang efektif, mendapatkan informasi jenis surfaktan yang efektif digunakan untuk campuran larutan tepung umbi teki dalam menghambat perkecambahan, dan mengetahui interaksi antara larutan dengan penambahan surfaktan terhadap perkecambahan. Percobaan dilakukan pada Februari-April 2019 di rumah kaca Kebun Percobaan Cikabayan IPB. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dua faktor dengan tiga ulangan. Faktor pertama yaitu perlakuan surfaktan yang terdiri dari A0 (tanpa surfaktan), A1 Tween 80, A2 Triethanolamin (TEA), dan A3 Nonylphenol 10 (NP10) pada konsentrasi 2%. Faktor kedua perlakuan konsentrasi larutan yaitu K0 (kontrol), K1 (45 g L-1), K2 (90 g L-1), dan K3 (135 g L-1). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa larutan tepung umbi teki berpengaruh nyata terhadap beberapa parameter perkecambahan. Selain menekan persentase benih yang berkecambah, larutan dapat menghambat kecepatan tumbuh dan meningkatkan persentase kecambah abnormal. Respon terhadap konsentrasi bersifat linier dan belum efektif menekan perkecambahan pada media tanah. Jenis surfaktan yang digunakan tidak nyata meningkatkan keefektifan bioherbisida. Tumbuhan berdaun lebar selada dan Asystasia gangetica lebih peka terhadap perlakuan dibandingkan dengan padi.

Previous studies stated that the solution of purple nut sedge tuber powder has the potential as a pre-emergence bioherbicide to control broad-leaf weeds. This study aimed to: determine an effective concentration level of tuber powder solution, find out information on the types of effective surfactants in order to be mixed in tuber powder solutions in inhibiting germination, and find out the interaction between the tuber solution and the addition of surfactants towards the germination of plant seeds. This study was conducted from February to April 2019 in a greenhouse at the Cikabayan Experimental Station, IPB University. The research used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two-factors and three replications. The first factor was the type of surfactants, consisting of A0 (with no surfactant), A1 Tween 80, A2 Triethanolamine (TEA), and A3 Nonylphenol 10 (NP10) with 2% concentration. The second factor was the solution concentration, including K0 (control), K1 (45 g L-1), K2 (90 g L-1), and K3 (135 g L-1). The results showed that the tuber powder solution significantly affected several germination parameters. In addition to suppressing the percentage of germinating seeds, the solution of tuber powder could also inhibit the growth rate and increased the percentage of abnormal sprouts. The response to the concentrations used was linear and still ineffective enough for suppressing seed germination. In this study, the types of surfactants used were unable to increase the effectiveness of the tuber powder solution as a bioherbicide. Lettuce and Asystasia gangetica broad leafy plants are more sensitive to the treatment than paddy rice.
