ABSTRACT Along with the increasing demand for red chilies in Indonesia, it is necessary to increase the production of red chilies through the utilization of peatlands as an alternative land for agricultural extensification. Peat soils have a low level of fertility, so the application of oil palm shoot ash and biofertilizers from a consortium of cellulolytic bacteria is recommended. The aim of …
ABSTRACT Peatlands have unique characteristics that are determined by many factors, one of which is the thickness of the peat. The ombrogenous peat soil type has a low fertility rate, due to its location in a peat dome with deep peat soil thickness. This study aimed to identify the C-organic content of peat soil fertility and construct a relationship pattern between ash content and C-organic w…
ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze the combination of application boiler ash with NPK fertilizer and get the best combination for the growth and production of eggplant plants (Solanum melongena L.). The research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of eight treatment combinations with three replications so that 24 experimental units were o…
ABSTRACT Peatland has various characteristics, both spatially and vertically. One of the factors that affect peat characteristics is peat thickness. There will be the differences between characteristics of the peat on the peat dome and the peat in another area. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of the peat soil profile including peat color, peat maturity, moisture conte…
ABSTRACT Mustard green (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis L.) is one of the horticultural crops that have high economic value. One of the problems in green mustard cultivation is pest attack from Plutella xylostella larvae that can make high damage on the leaf up to 100%. Pesticides from forest betel leaf (Piper aduncum L.) can be a safe alternative for controlling P. xylostella. The research w…
