The first factor was NPKMg fertilizer with three levels: N1: 30.5 g, N2: 36.5 g, and N3: 42.5 g per polybag; the second factor was Petrobio biofertilizer with three levels: P1: 20 g, P2: 40 g, and P3: 60 g per polybag. The parameters observed included the increase in plant height, …
ABSTRACT The assembly of maize (Zea mays L.) varieties for small-scale farmers is very necessary, one of the promising varieties to be developed is open polinated (OP) whose seed production is simpler and technological inputs are relatively low. The development of OP requires information on several inheritance parameters of characters that support the productivity of corn plants. The param…
ABSTRACT Rice is the staple food of the Indonesian population. The decline in rice quality is caused by the attack of plant pests during storage, particularly Sitophilus oryzae L. A recommended control method is the use of plant based insecticide, namely areca nut (Areca catechu L.) seed powder. This research aims to determine the effective dose of areca nut seed powder (A. catechu L.) for con…
ABSTRACT The increasing intensity of land use for horticultural cultivation has raised concerns about its long-term impact on soil quality and biodiversity, particularly soil macrofauna, which play a critical role in maintaining soil health. This study aims to evaluate the impact of land use duration on soil macrofauna diversity and soil organic carbon (C-organic) content in horticultural farm…
ABSTRACT Sago (Metroxylon spp.) is an important commodity serving as a source of local carbohydrates and industrial raw material, especially in Kepulauan Meranti, Riau Province, which has extensive sago plantations. The high genetic diversity in sago leads to variability in starch production, highlighting the need for character identification to support the selection of superior varieties.…
Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus) is a cultivated commodity that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. One of the cultivation systems used is without water replacement during the rearing period. This condition can cause ammonia from leftover feed and feces to increase in the rearing container. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of adding monosodium glutamate (MSG) on the liver perfo…
Palm oil (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is an important commodity for the Indonesian economy as a source of vegetable oil and biodiesel. Inceptisol soil has low fertility that requires fertilizer application. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of the combination of Libo Ganik organic fertilizer and NPKMg 12:12:17:2 fertilizer and to determine the optimal dose to support the growth…
ABSTRACT Population growth increases the need for rice while production decreases, so the use of marginal land such as less fertile Podsolic soil can increase its fertility by adding solid compost and coal fly ash. This study was conducted with the aim of studying the effect of the interaction of solid compost with coal fly ash and each treatment, and to obtain the best dose in increasing the …
ABSTRACT Mung beans (Vigna radiata L.) are an important legume commodity in Indonesia. The increasing production of mung beans must be maintained to meet domestic needs. Efforts that can be made include paying attention to cultivation aspects, one of which is Urea fertilization. Excessive use of inorganic fertilizers can reduce soil fertility and leave residues. Efforts made to reduce inorgani…
ABSTRACT Ultisol soils are widely found in Indonesia and possess chemical and physical properties that can influence the photodegradation process. Chlorpyrifos, as one of the most commonly used pesticides, tends to persist in the soil, posing a risk of environmental contamination. Photodegradation, which involves the breakdown of chlorpyrifos under sunlight, is an effective method to accelerat…
ABSTRACT Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is an important plantation crop in Indonesia, because of its high economic value and one of the leading plantation commodities in Riau which is used as a source of vegetable oil. This study aims to evaluate the interaction effect between mycorrhiza and Rock Phosphate fertilizer, single factor of mycorrhiza and Rock Phosphate fertilizer, and get the m…
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plants, but its availability in soil is often limited due to its binding with soil minerals such as Fe and Al. The availability of P in paddy fields is strongly influenced by soil pH, organic matter, and redox conditions. Available P can be measured using various extraction methods, including Bray I and Bray II. This study compared the effec…
ABSTRACT Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a high-value horticultural crop widely used as a cooking ingredient and for its medicinal properties. However, its cultivation in Riau Province faces challenges due to suboptimal soils like Inceptisols, which are deficient in essential nutrients, particularly potassium (K). This study aimed to examine the effect of potassium fertilizer on the growth …
ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the interaction and optimal dosage of solid compost and palm oil boiler ash, as well as the effects and optimal dosages of solid compost and palm oil boiler ash on the growth and yield of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) in podzolic medium. The research was conducted experimentally using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of factor I …
This research aimed to evaluate the potential of marine photosynthetic bacteria (MPB) and their biopigment extracts as antimicrobial agents against two major aquatic pathogens, namely Aeromonas hydrophila and Staphylococcus aureus. Six MPB isolates were cultured and incubated to produce biopigments. Biopigments are natural pigments from microorganisms that may have antimicrobial and antioxidant…
Koi fish is a very common decorative fish comodity in Indonesia because of its beautiful color and the high pricing. Koi fish culture were commonly facing problem becuse of its slow growth and its high sensitivity on water quality, therefore a precaution to prevent it was done by using filtration system. Filtration system is a filtering process to remove dense particle and chemical substance in…
Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus) is an economically important freshwater fish in Indonesia with promising market prospects. A major constraint in Baung catfish aquaculture is the limited availability of seeds due to the low survival rate of larvae. One critical factor influencing the success of larval rearing is the provision of appropriate feed, considering aspects such as type, size…
Paku Beach is a tourist location that has a river estuary that supplies organic water materials.
