ABSTRACT Mangosteen plant (Garcinia mangostana L.) is one of fruticulture plants in horticultural plant groups which is mostly rare infected by plant diseases. The data on disease incidence and intensity have been rarely reported so far. This is assumed that the plant has natural resitance systems derived from secondary metabolites compounds such as triterpene, mangostine, tanein, resin, antos…
ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to select and obtain isolates of rhizosphere fungi from mangosteen plants which have high antagonism activity against Phytophthora palmivora, the cause of stem base rot disease of siamese citrus plant and to identify to the genus level. The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Disease, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau, Pekanbaru. The res…
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. Soursop plants (Annona squamosa L.) can be used as botanical pesticides to control Spodoptera frugiperda. The study aims to obtain an effective concentration of organic extract of Annona squamosa leaf flour against the mor…
ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the best chlorox sterilization in the cultivation of Dendrobium sp. orchids in vitro. lorox with a concentration of 3% and 5% is the best concentration for the growth of Dendrobium sp. orchid plantlets with a survival rate of 50%.Dendrobium sp orchid subculture should use chlorox with a concentration of 3%, this aims to prevent damage to plant tissue, in a…
