ABSTRACT Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt.) is a horticultural commodity that has high economic value due to its nutritional content and sweet taste. One of the reasons for increasing sweet corn productivity is fertile agricultural land. Riau Province, most of its agricultural land is marginal land such as Dystrudepts soil which has limitations in its chemical properties, namely high …
ABSTRACT Rice crop (Oryza sativa L.) is the main food commodity in Indonesia and a source of energy and carbohydrates for the community. However, rice production in several regions including Riau Province, has decreased due to the attack of plant disrupting organisms, especially the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) which can cause yield losses of up to 100%. Alternative control…
ABSTRACT Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a horticultural crop that is useful as a seasoning and medicine. The need for shallots is increasing as the population increases. Efforts to increase production can be done through fertilization. Rice straw compost organic fertilizer can improve soil structure and increase soil microbial activity. NPK inorganic fertilizer is also needed by shallot pl…
ABSTRACT Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are an important agricultural commodity in Indonesia, with production increasing every year. One of the main challenges in improving peanut production is the limited availability of superior varieties that are specific to particular locations. Efforts to enhance peanut varieties can be carried out by utilizing the genetic variability available through pla…
ABSTRACT Peanuts are an important food crop rich in fats and proteins. However, the low productivity of peanuts in Indonesia has led to a reliance on imports. One solution to increase productivity is the development of superior varieties through plant breeding approaches. This study aims to determine the genetic correlation of various peanut traits under different doses of phosphorus fertilize…
ABSTRACT Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a cereal plant whose grain is utilized as a source of carbohydrates. Rice production can be increased by applying the appropriate planting system combined with balanced NPK fertilizer, solid compost, and bio-fertilizers. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of planting systems with a combination of inorganic, organic, and bio-fertilizers on the growth …
ABSTRACT Metisa plana is a bagworm that attacks oil palm plantations in Indonesia and resulted in unstable oil palm production. The usual control used by farmers is using synthetic pesticides which can cause problems. Synthetic pesticides can be reduced by using M. anisopliae local isolate as an environmentally alternative. This study aims to obtain the concentration of entomopathogenic fungus…
ABSTRACT Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren is a major pest of oil palm. Control of C. curvignathus still uses synthetic chemical insecticides. A solution to reduce the use of chemical insecticides by using environmentally friendly materials is the local entomopathogenic fungi (CEP) Cordyceps militaris. The research was canducted at the Plant Pest Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau Un…
ABSTRACT The rice plant is main plant for Indonesian people. The main problem of rice cultivation is pest. To overcome this, it is necessary to observe the types and populations of pests on rice plants. This research aimed to obtain information and data regarding the types and populations of pests on rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) in Kuantan Singingi Regency. The research was conducted for thre…
ABSTRACT Mung bean plant (Vigna radiata L.) is a widely consumed legume crop in Indonesia. According to the Directorate General of Food Crops, there has been a decline in the productivity of mung beans in Riau Province, necessitating efforts to improve their productivity. One way to increase mung bean productivity is through fertilization. The objective of this study was to examine the eff…
ABSTRACT Oil palm is one of the most abundant plantation crops in Indonesia and is one of the most important plantation commodities in the country's economy. This study aims to see the influence of the interaction between humic acid and sludge compost, the single factor of humic acid and sludge compost, and to obtain the best combination of humic acid and sludge compost on the growth of oil pa…
ABSTRACT Oil palm is the largest oil-producing crop in Indonesia. Increasing sustainable oil palm production is done by rejuvenating old and damaged plants. In rejuvenation, the quality of seedlings is considered such as the availability of nutrients in the media. The purpose of this study is to determine the interaction of various types of biofertilizers with NPKMg fertilizers, the single…
ABSTRACT Red chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the horticultural commodities that is widely cultivated commercially because it has high economic value. One effort to increase red chili production is to increase the availability of nutrients in the soil by combining biofertilizers with NPK fertilizers. Providing a combination of inorganic and organic fertilizers has a good impact on plants. …
ABSTRACT Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a leading commodity in Riau Province. A total of 129,274 hectares of old and damaged oil palm land need rejuvenation which requires quality seedlings. Ultisol planting media, which is commonly used, has low fertility constraints. This study aims to test the influence of humic acid and N, P, K fertilizers and determine the best dose for the growth …
ABSTRACT The low production of okra in Riau is due to low soil fertility, especially on marginal land.
