Banana peels not be used optimally, so they need to be used as fertilizer by composting. Compost is one of the most natural fertilizers that is widely used for agriculture. Compost fertilizer or often called compost has become an alternative that has been developed recently considering that soil conditions are starting to deteriorate.This research was carried out at the Soil Science Laboratory,…
This study set out to ascertain the factors that influence the interaction between Oil Palm Empty Bunches (OPEB) compost and nitrogen fertilizer, as well as the optimal combination dose for enhancing the development and yield of upland rice plants (Oryza sativa L.). The study was carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture, Riau University. This study was conducted from May to September 2023. Thi…
The development of paludiculture plants such as sago as a vegetative restoration can maintain the natural properties of tidal land that is damaged when drained. This study aims to determine the characteristics and suitability of tidal land for sago development. The research method used is a soil survey. Soil sampling points are determined based on the Land Map Unit (SPT) which is the result of …
Erosion is an indication that land is damaged. Erosion is caused by land activities foragriculture, mining and deforestation, so thereis the potential for erosion around the sub-watershed. This research evaluates the impact of land use such as oil palm plantations, forests and shifting cultivation on the rate of soil erosion in the Ketipo Sub-watershed, Indragiri River. The survey method is use…
Soybean (Glycine max L. Merril) is a primary food crop after rice, wheat, and corn. Spodoptera litura F. is one of main pests of soybean. An alternative way to control the pest is botanical insecticides use such as indian jujube leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) with ethanol solvent. The research aimed to determine the effective concentration of ndian jujube leaf organic extract to S. litura mort…
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…
Biofertilizer viability will decrease, a carrier material is needed that can maintain the shelf life of the biofertilizer. the carrier material used in this research as a storage medium was M. bracteata. this research aims to obtain the best shelf life from long storage of biofertilizer to support the growth and production of gogo rice. The research was conducted experimentally using a complete…
This research aims to identify the physical properties of soil in four plantations (oil palm, rubber, sweet orange and durian) in Kampar Regency, and compare soil physical properties in DT soil samples (under the canopy) and LT soil samples (outside the canopy). This research was carried out for 3 months starting from October 2022 to December 2022. The method used in this research is survey me…
This study aims to determine the effect of Petrobio biofertilizer and NPK 16:16:16 fertilizer and their interaction to get the best dose and interval of application on oil palm plants (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in the main nursery.
