Peatland is one type of lands that is included in the marginal land criteria. . Developing food crop commodities is one of the alternatives for the peatland agriculture development, especially for rice plants with a rooting criterion of 40-50 cm. To improve the nutrients and peat productivity, the additions of macro nutrients like N, P, and K, rice straw organic matter, compost, and cellulolyti…
This study aims to determine the impact of the application of P fertilizer which is very intensive in the first planting cycle of oil palm to the accumulation of various forms of P fractions in the soil (total P, P available, P organic, inorganic P, Ca-P, Al-P, Fe -P and P covered / occluded) as well as Phosphate nutrient uptake in the second oil palm planting cycle. In the first planting c…
Oil palm plantation development in recent year has undergone limitation of suitable land for cultivation, so to increase the production both for seed supply and for oil production in the future are emphasized on land intensification and resource use efficiency. In order to obtain high quality seed of oil palm, identification of suitable female parent which is able to produce greater number of v…
This study was aimed to determine the genetic diversity of populations of Kulim commonly grown in Riau Province by RAPD markers. The analysis was carried out at Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Center of Research and Development of Biotechnology and Tree Improvement of Forest Plants in Purwobinangun, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Cambium from 36 trees were sampled from 3 populations, i.e. from Bengkalis…
This study aimed was to isolate non symbiotic N fixation bacteria from oil palm plantations fertilized with empty fruit bunch (EFB) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) and to analyze their potency. The soil samples were sampled from private oil palm plantations in Pelalawan, Riau. The soil samples were taken by purposive sampling method from 4 different treatments ie mixed application (EFB + POME…
The objectives of this research were to obtain intensity data fire caterpillar pests Setora nitens and population abundance of Eocanthecona furcellata predators in oil palm plantations in Riau Province, obtain biological data Eocanthecona furcellata from Riau with alternative feed larvae of weaver ants (kroto) and get a rate of predation and power predation Eocanthecona furcellata predator from…
The aim of this study is to obtain suitable, effective and efficiento of isolate Rhizobium bacteria in increasing A. crassicarpa growth in nursery and to know the species of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria that associated with A. crassicarpa plant. The symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolated from root nodules of A. crassicarpa that collected from several trees were planted in several pea…
The aim of this inquiry is to examine the issue of drought stress and dosage of K fertilizer and its interaction towards physiology, development and yield of sweet corn and whether K fertilizer can overcome drought stress on sweet corn. This research was conducted in the greenhouse, Department of Agrotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau University from September to November 2017. The experi…
Oryctes rhinoceros is one of the main pests in oil palm. These pest can reduce production until 69%, even causing 25% of young plants to die. Control efforts conducted by smallholders or large companies generally use synthetic insecticides. To reduce the effects of synthetic insecticides, one of the alternatives that can be used in the technique of pest control O. rhinoceros is by the used of n…
This research was conducted in three places, Hama Tumbuhan laboratory,(Technical Implementation Unit) Experimental Garden Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau and in field. This study aims to obtain the predation rate and predator power of Sycanus croceovittatus from Riau in controlling the caterpillar pests of Setora nitens in oil palm crops. The study was prepared in the form of a …
This study was conducted to determine yield potential of soybean cultivars and the rates of phosphorus fertilizer appication in peatland. The field experiment was establiished in a factorial manner and arranged in a completely randomized block design with three replications. The first factor was five cultivars including Kaba, Kipas Putih, KM 14, KM 19, and KM-25. The rates of phosphorus fertil…
