The research was conducted experimentally using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of factor I …
ABSTRACT Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt.) is a plant that has a delicious taste, is highly nutritious with a low glycemic index, and has a fast production period. The decline in sweet corn production is due to the fact that sweet corn cultivation has not been managed optimally, so one of the efforts that can be made to increase production is through fertilization. This study aims to…
ABSTRACT Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt.) is an agricultural commodity that is highly favored by most Indonesians; however, its productivity declined 3.464 tons.ha⁻¹ in 2022 to 3.046 tons.ha⁻¹ in 2023. Sweet corn plants are influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors in terms of productivity, which can lead to a decrease in yield. The decline in sweet corn productivity is caused…
ABSTRACT Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a horticultural commodity with high economic value that is widely used as a cooking spice and traditional medicine. However, shallot production in Riau Province is still low and has not been able to meet the needs of the community. Low production is caused by soil factors, weather, and the use of less superior varieties. One solution to increase pro…
ABSTRACT The growth and yield of sweet corn plants were improved by administering cow biourine and K fertilizer. This study aims to observe the effect of the interaction of cow biourine and K fertilizer, the main effect of each and determine the best combination. The study used factorial completely randomized design with two factors. Factor I cow biourine consists of 3 levels (without cow …
The purpose of this study was to obtain an effective concentration of neem seed extract (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) to kill Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith maize pests in the laboratory. This research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and four replications in order to obtain 20 experimental units. Parameters observed were in…
ABSTRACT The need for soybeans in Indonesia continues to increase, but this is not accompanied by an increase in soybean production. One of the efforts to increase soybean production is by expanding the planting area by providing mycorrhiza. Another factor that needs to be considered in the growth of soybean plants is the provision of phosphorus fertilizer. This study aims to determine the eff…
ABSTRACT Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a horticultural commodity that is widely consumed by the Indonesian people as a mixture of spices and medicines. Onion production in Riau fluctuates from year to year so it is necessary to develop cultivation techniques by combining the use of organic fertilizers with inorganic fertilizers. The source of organic fertilizer material can be composted e…
ABSTRACT The development of shallot plants in Riau Province is one of the efforts to increase regional agricultural productivity. Despite various efforts, shallot productivity in Riau Province is still relatively low. One of the main obstacles faced by farmers is the attack of fusarium wilt disease, which causes significant damage to plants and reduces yields. Fusarium wilt disease is caused b…
ABSTRACT Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the primary staple food for most Indonesians, but its productivity in Riau Province declined from 4,1 tons.ha-1 in 2022 to 3,96 tons.ha-1 in 2023. One strategy to improve rice yields is enhancing soil fertility through the application of organic and inorganic fertilizers, such as bokashi and NPK. Bokashi improves soil microbial activity and nutrient availabil…
ABSTRACT Red chili production in Riau province has decreased in the last three years. Efforts to increase production are carried out by adding empty oil palm bunches (EOPB) and watering.
