Application of Planting Media and AB Mix Application Intervals on The Growth and Production of Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Var. Cerasiforme) Using the Wick System Hidroponic
No full textCherry tomatoes are a horticultural plant that is quite popular in Indonesia. This study was carried out to determine the effect of the growing medium, the effect of the AB Mix application interval and the effect of the interaction between the combination of these treatments on the growth and production of cherry tomato hydroponically of the wick system. This research was carried out from April to August 2025 at the Experimental Garden Gauze House, Faculty of Agriculture, Samudra University. The research used a Complete Random Design (CRD) Factorial pattern with 2 factors, namely planting media (M) which consists of 3 levels, namely M1 = Cocopeat, M2 = Rockwool, and M3 = Hydroton, as well as the AB Mix (I) administration interval factor which consists of 4 levels, namely I1 = 1 day, I2 = 2 days, I3 = 3 days, and I4 = 4 days. The results showed that the growing medium had a very marked effect on several observational parameters, the best results being obtained in the cocopeat growing medium (M1). AB Mix administration interval had a marked effect on several observational parameters, the best results being obtained at the 2 day interval treatment (I2)
INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT WITH ECOSYSTEM SERVICES PERFORMANCE IN CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCE IN NORTH MOROWALI
Full text linkClimate change is a major challenge that affects ecosystem resilience and human life, including in Indonesia, especially in North Morowali Regency which has extensive tropical forests. This study aims to assess the contribution of ecosystem services in climate regulation in the region and analyze how climate change interacts with ecosystem performance. The methodology used involves assessing ecosystem services for climate regulation and changes in forest land cover. The study\u27s results indicated that forest dominance significantly aided climate regulation, with conservation forest areas contributing 21.51%, protected forests 20.68%, and production forests 19.52%, particularly in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. In contrast, non-forest areas showed a lower contribution. Regional resilience to climate change, it is recommended that the management of conservation and protected forests be strengthened, by considering the potential of ecosystem services they have in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
 
THE FORMULATION OF “ZILLICUM TEA” FROM GINGER (Zingiber officinale var. amarum), STAR ANISE (Illicium verum), AND LEMONGRASS (Cymbopogon citratus) TOWARD ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES AND HEDONIC ACCEPTABILITY
No full textZillicum tea is an innovations herbal tea product formulated from combination of three plants: ginger, lemongrass, and star anise. These three plants were selected for their functional value, particularly their antioxidant compounds. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of antioxidant activity and hedonic acceptability properties of the three combinations of Zillicum tea formulation, and to identify the best of formulation based on these parameters. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments(the combination of ginger, star anise, and lemongrass), specifically F1, F2, F3, F4 with five replications. Antioxidant activity and organoleptic properties are the primary parameters, while moisture content and total plate count test are supporting parameters. The result F4 formulations exhibited antioxidant activity of 54.41% inhibition (p < 0.05), which was significantly higher than that of F1 (33.20%), F2 (39.86%), and F3 (43.00%). Furthermore, the organoleptic taste score of F4 (5.28 ± 1.27) was also significantly greater comparased to the other formulations
