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 …

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…
The extract of tuba root isa plant-based insecticide that can be used to control pests. The active ingredient in tuba root extract is sensitive to sunlight, which can reduce its effectiveness. An alternative solution to this issue is the addition of surfactants. This study aims to determine the effective concentration of surfactant added to tuba root extract against the mortality of armyworms o…
Red chili plants have high economic value due to the large number of consumer demands, both on a household scale and in the food industry. Increasing the productivity of red chili is needed in its cultivation to meet consumer demand. One effort that can be made is to carry out balanced fertilization. The addition of organic fertilizer has the potential to reduce the dose of inorganic fertilizer…
Red chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a horticultural plant with high economic value. One effort to increase agricultural yields is by fertilizing both organic and inorganic fertilizers. Unbalanced use of inorganic fertilizers can have a negative impact on the environment, this can be overcome by combining inorganic fertilizers and organic fertilizers. The addition of organic material can be an eff…
Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a horticultura crops that is needed by the people of Indonesia. This study aims to determine the best doses of empty fruit bunch (EFB) ash on each shallot variety in peatland, to determine the interaction of shallot varieties with various doses of EFB ash in peatland and to determine the relationship, direct and indirect effects of shallot agronomic characters…
