This study aims to determine the yield ability of twelve genotypes of chili plants. This study was a randomized block design with 12 genotypes and three replications, resulting in 36 experimental units. Each experimental unit consisted of 20 plants and 10 plants were taken as samples. Data obtained were analyzed by ANOVA using SAS 9.00 software and further tested using Dunnett at the 5%…
Oil palm production has decreased every year due to the attack of oil palm leaf-eating caterpillars (UPDTKS). The attack of caterpillar pests (Sethotosea asigna Van Eecker) in oil palm plantations needs to be controlled, one of the controls that can be used is natural enemies such as predators. Sycanus spp. predators are one of the predators that play an important role in controlling the attack…
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a very important food crop in Indonesia that is produced into rice. About 90% of the Indonesian population currently consumes rice as a staple food. Productivity of upland rice on podzolic medium is low due to various constraints including acid soil reaction, organic matter content, essential nutrients, cation exchange capacity (CEC), base saturation (BS), low P availa…
Basal stem rot (BSR) is a disease that causes decline in oil palm productivity. BSR caused by Ganoderma sp. An alternative environmentally control that can be done is biological control. Bacillus spp. is one alternative way of biological control. This study aims to test the inhibitory ability of Bacillus spp. and get the species of Bacillus spp. that can inhibit Ganoderma sp. and determine the …
This research aims to study the interaction effect and the main effect of applying palm oil solid compost and compound micro fertilizer and get the best combination that produces the highest growth and yield of shallot plants. This research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of two factors. The first factor was palm oil solid compost consisting of…
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is one of the important food commodities in Indonesia. Low soybean production cannot fulfill the demand of the Indonesian people so the government imports soybeans from abroad. One of the causes for this decline in production is the reduction of soybean planting land. Efforts to increase soybean production can be made by increasing the area of soybean planting…
