Shallots are horticultura crops that play an important role for the people of Indonesia. This study aims to determine the response and best combination of several shallot varieties to the administration of various doses of EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) ash, as well as to obtain the most adaptive shallot varieties on peaty mineral soil. This study was conducted experimentally using a factorial RBD (Ra…
The low production of okra in Riau is due to low soil fertility, especially inceptisol soil. This study aims to determine the interaction effect of cow urine liquid organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer, single factor of cow urine and NPK fertilizer, and get the best concentration of cow urine liquid organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer dosage. The research was conducted experimentally in the …
Oil palm plants have high economic value. One of the efforts that can be made to increase oil palm production is by replanting on ultisol soils that have low macro and micro nutrients. An alternative that can be done is the addition of biological fertilizers, namely phosphate solubilizing bacteria combined with inorganic fertilizers, namely NPKMg fertilizers. The purpose of this research is to …
Shallot is a horticultural commodity that has many benefits and is much needed by the community, so efforts are needed so that shallot production always increases. This study aims to determine the interaction and influence of each shallot variety and EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) ash on peatland and to determine the genetic diversity and heritability value of several shallot varieties. The research m…
Oil palm is a major plantation commodity in Indonesia. Riau is one of the provinces that has the largest oil palm distribution in Indonesia. Oil palm plantations in Riau are mostly cultivated on marginal lands, such as soils with sandy textures (Dystrudepts). Soils with sandy textures are a limiting factor for the growth and nutrient uptake of oil palm. So it is necessary to develop a technolog…
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is widely cultivated in Indonesia, especially in Riau Province, where many plantations are located on marginal soils like sandy-textured Dystrudepts which have high percolation and nutrient leaching. To address this, slow-release fertilizers like Polyhalite are suitable but require potassium supplementation, such as with KCl. This study aims to examine the eff…
The decline in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) production in Indonesia is caused by several factors, one of which is the attack of the rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros Linn.). Control using synthetic insecticides is the common method used by farmers to control Oryctes rhinoceros L., but it has negative impacts such as the formation of pesticide residues, killing natural enemies, the dev…
Coptotermes curvignathus is a major pest that attacks oil palms in peat soils. The origin of the isolate affects the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. This study aims to obtain the concentration of entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae rice isolate as a bioinsecticide against termites Coptotermes curvignathus, a pest of oil palm. The research was cond…
Sweet corn production and productivity in Riau has fluctuated due to changes in harvested land area. Solution to increase sweet corn production and productivity is to expand planting area to peaty land and use superior varieties. Problems on peaty land can be solved with EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) ash. Assembly of superior varieties can be done through correlation and path-analysis. Research aimed…
This studyaims to obtain genetic diversity and inheritance patterns in several sweet corn varieties by applying various doses of EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) ash on peaty land.
