ABSTRACT Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt.) is a horticultural commodity that has high economic value due to its nutritional content and sweet taste. One of the reasons for increasing sweet corn productivity is fertile agricultural land. Riau Province, most of its agricultural land is marginal land such as Dystrudepts soil which has limitations in its chemical properties, namely high …
ABSTRACT Rice crop (Oryza sativa L.) is the main food commodity in Indonesia and a source of energy and carbohydrates for the community. However, rice production in several regions including Riau Province, has decreased due to the attack of plant disrupting organisms, especially the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) which can cause yield losses of up to 100%. Alternative control…
ABSTRACT Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a horticultural crop that is useful as a seasoning and medicine. The need for shallots is increasing as the population increases. Efforts to increase production can be done through fertilization. Rice straw compost organic fertilizer can improve soil structure and increase soil microbial activity. NPK inorganic fertilizer is also needed by shallot pl…
ABSTRACT Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are an important agricultural commodity in Indonesia, with production increasing every year. One of the main challenges in improving peanut production is the limited availability of superior varieties that are specific to particular locations. Efforts to enhance peanut varieties can be carried out by utilizing the genetic variability available through pla…
ABSTRACT Peanuts are an important food crop rich in fats and proteins. However, the low productivity of peanuts in Indonesia has led to a reliance on imports. One solution to increase productivity is the development of superior varieties through plant breeding approaches. This study aims to determine the genetic correlation of various peanut traits under different doses of phosphorus fertilize…
ABSTRACT Shampoo contains active substances and additives such as viscosity thickeners, surfactants, foam stabilizers, preservatives and other additives. One of the things that need to be considered in formulating shampoo includes the viscosity. Carbopol 940 has a high viscosity as a thickener. This study aims to obtain the best concentration of carbopol 940 on the characteristics of shampoo m…
ABSTRACT Palm starch dregs is a side waste from the palm starch filtering process that contains lignocellulosic components. Separation of lignocellulosic components can be done through a delignification process. One method that is often used in the delignification process is the alkaline method. The research was conducted by experiment using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treat…
ABSTRACT Sago starch waste was one type of waste produced during the sago flour processing process. Sago starch waste contains cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and a small amount of remaining starch. This study aims to obtain the best cooking solution variation in the cellulose extraction process of sago starch waste using the organosolv method. The study was conducted using the Completely Ra…
ABSTRACT Pie is a small snack consisting of pie crust and toppings. Generally, pie crusts come in sheets, rounds, bowls, lotus flowers, etc. The main component in making cookies is wheat flour. This research aims to obtain the best comparison of MOCAF and green bean flour on the quality of pie crust. This research was carried out experimentally using a completely randomized design with fou…
ABSTRACT Durio seeds are one of the products of durian fruit that has not been utilized optimally. The use of durio seeds to are considered to be able to used as flour considering the chemical properties of the durio seeds. The aim of this research was to obtain the best concentration of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on the physico-chemical properties of durio seed flour modified by fermentati…
ABSTRACT Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a cereal plant whose grain is utilized as a source of carbohydrates. Rice production can be increased by applying the appropriate planting system combined with balanced NPK fertilizer, solid compost, and bio-fertilizers. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of planting systems with a combination of inorganic, organic, and bio-fertilizers on the growth …
ABSTRACT Metisa plana is a bagworm that attacks oil palm plantations in Indonesia and resulted in unstable oil palm production. The usual control used by farmers is using synthetic pesticides which can cause problems. Synthetic pesticides can be reduced by using M. anisopliae local isolate as an environmentally alternative. This study aims to obtain the concentration of entomopathogenic fungus…
ABSTRACT Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren is a major pest of oil palm. Control of C. curvignathus still uses synthetic chemical insecticides. A solution to reduce the use of chemical insecticides by using environmentally friendly materials is the local entomopathogenic fungi (CEP) Cordyceps militaris. The research was canducted at the Plant Pest Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau Un…
ABSTRACT The rice plant is main plant for Indonesian people. The main problem of rice cultivation is pest.
