Rice production is increasing due to the massive use of super variety and intensive cultural technique. The main problem occurs when the rice production in Riau is increasing but it is not enough to fulfill daily need of society consumption. The production deficiency is 61 %. Thus to increase the production, a System of Rice Intensification (SRI) technology can be used. The use of SRI meth…
Riau is one of the provinces that has high potential for natural resources, including forest and plantation areas. The forest area in Riau Province is about ± 5,392,336 Ha, while the area for oil palm plantations is ± 2,537,375 Ha and the area for rubber plantations is ± 494, 106 Ha (BPS Riau Province, 2019). Forest and plantation areas require fertile soil to increase productivity. The …
The area of oil palm plantations in Riau Province is 2,323,831 ha with production reaching 7,136,648 tons. The main problem in land use for agriculture and especially plantations is the low fertility rate of soil caused by a number of chemical constraints that limit crop growth such as problems of health, nutrient availability and low content of soil organic matter. During the process of p…
The main problem in rice cultivation is the presence of weeds which cause a decrease in the quantity and quality of crop yields. Generally, farmers use synthetic herbicides to control weeds. One way to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides is the use of bioherbicides. The use of a dose of 60% kiambang extract bioherbicide applied to babadotan weed is the best dose. However, it is not known…
The use of legume cover crops for erosion control and to provide additional N to the soil is well established. An experiment was conducted in the shade house to study the effect of different shade levels on the growth and biomass production potential of LCC. This experiment was started to determine the effect of four different shade treatments N1 (0%, control) N2 (55%) N3 (65%) N4 (75%) on…
Sembung rambat (Mikania micrantha) is a broadleaf weed that is commonly found on agricultural land. Weed control in agricultural land is generally carried out using synthetic herbicides, the use of synthetic herbicides has negative effects such as the death of natural enemies, polluting the environment, decreasing soil organic matter levels and increasing weed resistance. Bioherbicide is …
Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) are one of the tuber-producing horticultural commodities that can be used in the form of direct spices or packaged fried onions. Factors that cause the need for shallots to be unfulfilled in Riau such as the lack of land expansion for shallot cultivation, the size of the bulbs used for seedlings is less than optimal and the soil conditions are less fertile so th…
This study aims to determine the effect of liquid waste of oil palm, the number of biopore holes and their interaction on soil physical and chemical properties, leaf nutrient content and oil palm growth in Dystrudepts soil. This study was conducted from December 2019 to April 2020. This research was conducted in a 3x3 factorial experiment using a completely randomized design, each treatment…
The matoa plant (Pometia pinnata.) is a typical plant of the Papua region belonging to the Sapindaceae family. Matoa is generally propagated through seeds (generative). Matoa seeds are recalcitrant which cannot be stored for long. Vegetative propagation has the advantage that seed production does not depend on the availability of seeds or fruit season, can produce new plants with the same …
Moringa is a multipurpose plant, so it attracts people's interest to plant it. Moringa planting by the community is mostly done on Inceptisol soils that have low fertility. Given the importance of growth and productivity of Moringa plants on Inceptisol soils and high leaf Mg levels, a study was carried out on improving the chemical properties of inceptisol media applied to Calcite and Kiserite …
This study aimed to evaluate the characterization of 13 variables: germination, flowering time, number of branches per plant, plant height, harvest age, pod color, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, seed color, number of seeds per plant, seed weight per plant, and weight of 100 seeds of the local Riau M7 mutant progeny M7 green bean (Vigna radiata L.). The study…
Army worm (Spodoptera exigua Hubner.) is the main pest of acacia. Controls that are carried out generally use synthetic insecticides which cause negative impacts such as emergence of cases of resistance, resurgence, environmental pollution, residual effects, secondary pest explosions and reduced biodiversity. So we need an alternative in pest control, such us using light traps and the para…
Riau is a province that has the largest palm oil plantations in Indonesia. The development of plantations, both corporate and smallholder plantations, still applies the monoculture system. The monoculture system for Palm Oil still has negative environmental impacts, one of which is reducing biomass productivity. In an effort to minimize these impacts, it is necessary to develop alternative palm…
Mung bean cultivation in Indonesia has a major problem, namely low productivity so that it cannot meet the increasing demand for green beans for consumption and raw materials for the processed industry. The limited number of new high yielding varieties contributes to the low productivity of mung bean plants. Fertilization through soil is sometimes less effective because some nutrients are lost.…
Sawi (Brassica junceae L.) is a vegetable crop which is often attacked by wet rot caused by Erwinia carotovora and black rot by Xhantomonas campestris. Environmentally friendly disease control is needed to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. One way to treat these diseases is to use the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus fermentum InaCC which can have a positive effect on mustard growth. …
Oil palm plants in Riau Province are generally cultivated with a monoculture system. Monoculture cultivation is economically profitable, but also has a negative impact on the environment, especially on land biophysics (biodiversity, soil, microclimate and water). One of the efforts to reduce the impact of a monoculture system is to apply an agroforestry system, which combines agricultural crops…
Weed control using excessive synthetic herbicides can cause environmental pollution. Therefore, the use of bioherbicides is recommended. Extract of kiambang (Salvinia molesta D. Mitch.) Is a material to be used as a bioherbicide. The aim of this research was to test the effectiveness of the extract as a bioherbicide and to obtain the best concentration in the control of pre-growth and post-grow…
The Oryctes rhinoceros pest is an important pest of oil palm. Pest problems occur because Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) was added for soil fertility create to a breeding site for larvae O. rhinoceros. Generally, will receive the plants more quickly when composted, and pest control is carried out in the compost. Biological control is more recommended because it is environmentally friendly…
The area of oil palm plantations in Indonesia continues to increase, along with that, Palm oil mill also increases. Each Palm oil mill produces liquid waste (LWPOF) in large numbers that can be utilized. The aim of this research was to study the main effect of LWPOF application and the number of biopores and their interactions on micro nutrient content and oil palm growth. The research was cond…
