ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max L.) is the main food crop after rice and corn. One of the problems faced in soybean cultivation is the attack of armyworms (Spodoptera litura). Yield losses due to pest attacks can reach 80% or even crop failure if not controlled. Papaya leaf (Carica papaya L.) botanical pesticide can be a safe alternative for controlling S. litura. This study aims to obtain an ef…
ABSTRACT The development of upland rice in Indonesia is very important as a solution for food security, especially in areas that do not have adequate access to irrigation water. Upland rice is a rice variety planted on dry land, with major challenges such as limited soil nutrient content and low productivity. Efforts that can be made to cultivate upland rice on dry land are by using organic ma…
ABSTRACT Corn (Zea mays L.) in cultivation has obstacles, namely pest attacks in the field. The main pest that often attacks corn plants is Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith.

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the effect of the best concentration of the combination of BAP with tomato extract on the growth of epicotyl explants of Citrus nobilis Lour. and to support the growth of Citrus nobilis Lour. plantlets from Kampar in vitro. This research was conducted at the Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau University, Pekanbaru from Desember 202…
ABSTRACT This study aims to characterize peat maturity based on the typology of peat domes in Dayun Village, Siak Regency. The peatlands in this area exhibit distinct dome typologies, namely the dome peak, back, and foot, which significantly influence the physical and chemical properties of the soil, including ash content, C-organic content, C/N ratio, and fiber content. The study was conducted…
ABSTRACT Corn is the third most important food crop after rice and wheat in Indonesia. The decrease in corn production in Riau Province is caused by several factors, one of which is the presence of weeds. The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction of pre-emergence herbicide application timing and weed weeding, the combination of pre-emergence herbicide application tim ing and w…
ABSTRACT Rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) is an important food crop commodity in Indonesia, providing calories and nutrients as a staple food for the Indonesian people. Rice cultivation is inseparable from pest attacks, which have a significant impact on decreasing rice production. One such pest is the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.), which can cause total crop failure. One plant …
ABSTRACT Leptocorisa oratorius F. is one of the factors causing the decline in rice production. Appropriate and safe control measures for the environment need to be taken, considering that the use of chemical pesticides can have a negative impact on the environment. The treatment solution that can be used to deal with the stink bug pest (Leptocorisa oratorius F.) is by using plant-based pestic…
ABSTRACT Spodoptera frugiperda is a pest that can cause the failure of the formation of young leaves on corn plants because it attacks the growing point of plants and causes yield loss on corn plants up to 15-73%. The control that is still often carried out to control S. frugiperda is using chemical insecticides, but this has various negative impacts. Insecticide soursop leaf powder (Annona mu…
ABSTRACT Oryctes rhinoceros L. is a major pest of Elaeis guineensis Jacq. which can reduce yield by 69% at the first harvest and cause 25% mortality in immature plants. Biological control using the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) inoculated into compost can control the population of O. rhinoceros and can increase the growth of E. guineensis seedlings. This study aims to obtain the …
ABSTRACT The oil palm plant (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a plant that produces food oil, industry and biofuel. Palm oil replanting is the process of replacing old and damaged plants with new plants to increase the productivity of oil palm plantations. This research aims to determine the effect of the interaction of solid compost and NPKMg fertilizer, solid compost factors, NPKMg fertilizer and…
ABSTRACT Corn (Zea mays L.) is the second important food in Indonesia after rice. One of the problems encountered in maize cultivation is the attack of the corn fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E., Smith). The corn fall armyworm S. frugiperda is a threat in maize cultivation, because it can cause a decrease in production of 5-20% when the larvae attack the leaves and 100% when the larvae…
ABSTRACT Sago (Metroxylon spp.) is an important crop in Indonesia, particularly in the Meranti Islands, which have vast peatlands as its ideal habitat. This study aims to identify the physiological characteristics of several sago accessions based on photosynthetic rate, stomatal density, chlorophyll content, and leaf area index. The research used a Split Plot Design with location (A38, C33, an…
ABSTRACT Sago palm (Metroxylon spp.) is a carbohydrate-producing plant that serves as a staple food in several regions of Indonesia, such as Maluku and Papua. However, increasing industrial demand has led to excessive exploitation, causing genetic erosion. Genetic diversity is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of this crop, contributing to the development of superior varieties and ge…
ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a vital food crop in Indonesia, widely used for direct consumption, processed products, and animal feed. Production in lowland areas remains low due to the limited adaptability of available varieties to these environments.
