Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) is the second main food producer after rice. The increase in production is estimated to occur due to an increase in harvested area of 160.48 thousand hectares and an increase in productivity of 2.16 quintals/hectare. Indonesia has an extensive area of Inseptisol covering 70.52 million hectares. Inseptisol exhibits relatively low soil fertility and poor soil physical pro…
Oil palm plantations in Indonesia are experiencing development, this can be seen from the area of oil palm plantations in 2018 amounting to 14.33 million hectares with production reaching 42.9 million tons of CPO and increasing the area to 14.60 million hectares with an increase in production of 48.42 million tons. In addition to producing CPO, palm oil also produces solid, liquid, and gaseous …
Land utilization can be done by planting other crops in between oil palm plantations during the TBM 2 period. Intercrops that can be cultivated are sweet corn. Sweet corn production has decreased due to land conversion, so efforts are needed to increase production, both land use and provision of plant nutrients. Another obstacle is that the available land is marginal land such as Dystrudepts. E…
SUMMARY The strategy for developing beneng taro (Xanthosoma undipes K. Kock) can be carried out by using it as an intercrop in oil palm plantations that utilize Dystrudepts soil. The obstacles faced are that the optimal level of shade for the growth of beneng taro is not yet known, as well as the high level of soil acidity and low nutrient content. One effort to overcome this problem can be d…
Direct selection to obtain high yielding genotipes in soybean must be applied in later generation (F4 or F5) in order to have enough materials in the population to be evaluated. So, in this research, we intent to identify any character that may be evaluated from individual plant as alternative selection criteria to select high yielding genotypes. The objectives of this research were to det…
Management of nitrogen nutrients through fertilization in oil palm plantations on peatland is essential to minimize the impact of CO₂ emissions and ensure the growth and development of the plants. The research was carried out at PT Tunggal Mitra Plantation, Manggala 3 Estate, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province. The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between N ferti…
Forest and agricultural land fires that occur almost every year in Indonesia, especially Riau province. Fire that occurred in Riau Province. The peatland fires that occurred in Riau Province in 2019 were quite extensive. Ministry of Environment and Forestry data shows 75,871 ha of burned land in Riau Province, divided into several districts and cities. Degradation of peatlands can be cause…
Typic Dystrudept is widely used for oil palm plantations. However, Typic Dystrudept is classified as soil with low fertility, so it is necessary to improve the chemical properties of the soil with fertilization. Currently, fertilizer prices have increased quite sharply and the level of fertilizer efficiency is still low, so efforts need to be made to increase fertilizer efficiency. Nitrogen…
Mung bean (Vigna radiate L.) is an important arable crop commodity and potential to be cultivated in Indonesia. Seed of mung bean contain almost complete nutrition including carbohydrate, protein, lipid, vitamins and trace elements. Production of mung bean in Indonesia and specifically in Riau Province tended to decrease from year to years in the last several years. The decrease in mung bean pr…
This research was conducted to study the performance of Banting Dura x Pisifera Avros (DxP) progenies on yield and oil analysis components that planted on inland soil at Siak, Riau. Ten DxP progenies and two DxP controls were used for this study. They were evaluated for fresh fruit bunch (FFB), fruit components and oil content traits. FFB production for most of the progenies compare to the …
Differences in soil types, water table regimes, and technological inputs in smallholder oil palm plantations on acid sulfate soil lead to the formation of distinct land units within the plantations. There are four different land units identified, each with its unique characteristics. These differences in characteristics result in variations in the properties and performance of oil palm plan…
Peat soil fertility is classified as low which is characterized by soil chemical properties, including low pH (acid), availability of macro (K, Ca, Mg, P) and micro (Cu, Zn, Mn, and Bo) nutrients, low cation exchange capacity (CEC) is high but Base Saturation (BS) is low. In increasing nutrient availability and absorption in plants, mycorrhizal materials are needed which can increase the ab…
This study aimed to evaluate the improvement in growth and yield of M8 generation mung bean plants (Vignaradiata L.) resulting from gamma ray mutation, in an effort to obtain plants with synchronous pod maturity characteristics and high pod weight production. The study employed a completely randomized design (CRD), involving a population of parent plants and 4 progenies, namely M8-18-3-1-6…
Green beans (Vigna radiata L.) is a plant that is widely cultivated in Kampar Regency, Riau. Mung bean productivity in Indonesia and the Kampar district tends to be stable every year, but mung bean farmers in the Kampar district generally cultivate green beans from the local Kampar strain which have low yield, have trichomes and pods that break easily. One of the efforts that can be made to…
Soil macrofauna measuring > 2 mm consists of milliapoda, isopods, insects, molluscs and earthworms (Maftu'ah et al., 2005). Soil macrofauna has an important role in the decomposition of soil organic matter in the provision of nutrients. Macrofauna will crumble dead vegetable matter, then the material will be excreted in the form of feces. The presence of soil macro, meso and microfauna has a ro…
Peatlands in Indonesia are widely used for the development of plantation crops, one of which is oil palm. The development of peatlands faces many obstacles, such as the reaction of acidic to very acidic peat soils with high cation exchange capacity (CEC) and the availability of nutrients in a bound form. These conditions do not support plant growth in general. The solution to solve the problem…
Oil palm is an important plantation commodity in Indonesia which has high productivity. The growth of oil palm is inseparable from disease disturbances. Oil palm stems base rot disease is caused by the fungus Ganoderma sp. Morphological identification determines the success of stem rot disease control efforts. Trichoderma sp. is a fungus that is antagonistic to Ganoderma. Trichoderma origi…
Acacia crassicarpa A.Cunn. ex Benth is a type of fast-growing tree species that is highly adaptable and tolerant of extremely environmental conditions. Acacia crassicarpa is a type of forest plant that has harvested period of approximately 5 years. Economically, the acacia is used as a wood source for processed into wood pulp, paper, and fuel potential for charcoal production. One of the e…
