Rice is critical as the primary food source for 95% of Indonesia's population, with demand increasing alongside population growth. Developing upland rice on dry podzolic land is seen as a promising strategy to boost production. Despite challenges posed by podzolic soil's chemical composition, Indonesia's vast podzolic areas offer significant potential for upland rice cultivation. Techniques suc…

Corn (Zea mays L.) is the one of main food commodity after rice which has a strategic role in agricultural development and the national economy. One of the main pests that attack corn plants is the corn cob borer caterpillar (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner). Alternative control that can be done to reduce the negative impact of synthetic insecticides is using botanical insecticides. Pest control ca…
Oil palm production decreased due to plant disrupting organisms (PDO) such as horned beetle pests (Oryctes rhinoceros Linn.). Control of O. rhinoceros pests generally uses synthetic insecticides. Alternative control can use vegetable insecticides, one of which is japanese papaya leaves (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius I. M. Johnst). C. aconitifolius contain secondary metabolite compounds such as cya…
This study aims to determine the interaction effect, main effect and get the best combination of solid compost and empty fruit bunch ash on the chemical properties of Dystrudepts and the growth and production of shallot plants. The research was a 3 × 3 factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor was solid compost application consisting of 3 levels (0…
Cultivation and development of sugar palm is supported by the availability of quality seeds that can be provided in a short time. Problem in the provision of sugar palm seeds is that they have a long dormancy period. Breaking the dormancy of sugar palm seeds needs to be done so that the seeds germinate faster. An effort that can be made to break the dormancy of sugar palm seeds is by soaking th…
creasing red chili productivity can be done by fertilizing. The use of inorganic fertilizers for a relatively long time can cause a decrease in soil fertility and reduced organic matter content. Therefore, the use of solid compost and biofertilizers enriched with Mucuna bracteata can be used to reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. This research aims to increase the growth and production of …
Cavendish banana is a type of commercial banana that has a high nutritional content and complete. The problem of providing cavendish banana seeds in large quantities is very difficult, because cavendish bananas only produce 2 – 3 offspring from one parent, alternative solution for providing seeds in large quantities can be done in vitro. This research aims to determine…
This study was conducted using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor was mycorrhizal biofertilizer, which had three levels: P0: control, P2: 20 g, and P3: 40 g per polybag. The second factor was NPKMg fertilizer, also with three levels: M1: 30.5 g, M2: 36.5 g, and M3: 42.5 g per polybag. The parameters observed included the increase in plant height, s…
Corn (Zea mays L.) is a source of carbohydrates after rice in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the effect of trichocompost and rock phosphate fertilizer interaction and the best dose to increase the growth and yield of corn plants in Ultisol. The research was conducted experimentally from May to September 2024 using a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial consisting of two factors…
Agricultural and plantation waste is organic waste that is organic in nature. Generally, this waste is difficult to manage. One alternative for managing agricultural and plantation waste is through biological composting using cellulolytic bacterial bioactivators. Cellulolytic bacteria are bacteria that can produce cellulase enzymes so that they are able to degrade cellulose through the process …
Soursop (Annona muricata L.) is a plant of the Annonaceae family whose leaves and fruit have potential as a vegetable insecticide. A. muricata contains the active compound Acetogenin which is entered as a contact poison and stomach poison. Works by distrupting the digestive system, causing coagulation in the stomach. This study aims to obtain an effective concentration of soursop leaf extract (…
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a major plantation commodity in Indonesia, with production reaching 45.58 million tons in 2022, an increase of 1.02% from the previous year. Expansion of plantation areas has included Dystrudepts soils, which cover 37.5% of Indonesia's land and are characterized by rapid drainage, low water retention, and poor aggregate stability. These limitations can be a…
The study aimed to assess the quality of oil palm fruit on several types of soil in Kubu District, Rokan Hilir Regency. The research was carried out on three lands based on differences in land distance from the beach, namely JT (I) = Gleisol soil type, JT (II) = Regosol soil type and JT (III) = Organosol soil type. This study used a survey method with data collection carried out by observation …
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the most widely cultivated plantation crops in Indonesia. Due to the annual expansion of oil palm plantations, suitable land for cultivation has become increasingly scarce. As a result, plantation development is increasingly taking place on suboptimal lands, such as sandy soils (Dystrudepts). Dystrudepts are characterized by sandy texture, low pH, an…
