Abstract

ABSTRACTUltisol dominated about 25% of the total land area in Indonesia. It has the potential to be used as agricultural land and shallot plants have a considerable prospect to be cultivated in ultisol soil.  Ultisol generally has not been handled properly. It needs some specific treatments due to the low nutrient contents, caused by the intensive leaching process. One of the effort to overcome the soil quality problems that occur in ultisol soils (high soil acidity, average pH <4.50, high Al saturation, and low macronutrient content such as P, K, Ca, Mg, and organic material content) is treated by the using the soil conditioner such as the supplying of organic materials in the form of compost and biochar. In this work, the biological organic fertilizer was also applied to increase microorganism activity in the soil. The experimental design used in this work was completely random design which has 8 combinations of soil treatment, compost, biochar and bio-organic fertilizer. Soil parameters measured were pH, C-Organic, P-Available, total bacterial population, soil respiration, and phosphomonoesterase enzyme activity. The agronomy parameters of shallot were also measured. The results showed that treatment of compost, biological organic fertilizer, and biochar have significant effect to increase soil microorganism activity in the form of total population of bacteria, soil respiration, P-Available and pH. The treatment also had a significant effect on supporting plant height at 2 and 6 MST, number of leaves at 2 MST, wet weight and dry weight of tubers. Keywords: biochar, bio-organic fertilizer, soil microorganism activity, shallot, ultisol

Abstract

Cacao (Theobrama cacao) is one of the main plantation commodities in Indonesia which has an important role for the national economy. The low productivity of cacao plants in Indonesia is due to the condition of old plants, pests and diseases attacks which affect the quality of the fruit and decrease the plant’s productivity. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify of endophytic bacteria from stem, flower, leaf and fruit of T. cacao by using 16S rRNA gene as genetic marker. Twenty seven endophytic bacterial isolates were collected from local plantation in Yogyakarta area.  From this study, 8 endophytic bacterial strains exhibited the higher PGP traits. The isolates produced Indole Acetic Acid level by 0.3 to 5.21 ppm/hour. All of isolates had nitrogen fixation activity but have not phosphate solubilization activity. Among them, isolates CSDT 4 and CGKBH 4 showed promising potential as PGP bacteria. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, those bacterial strains were identified as Brevibacillus brevis (CSDT 4) and Pantoea sp. (CGKBH 4). We propose that the B. brevis and Pantoea sp. which is reported for the first time for their PGP potential in cacao, exerts its beneficial effects on cacao crop through combined of activities. The potential PGP bacteria from the Cacao plant was used to make a specific bio-fertilizer formula for the Cacao plant, because of the different needs and condition that every plant requires.

Abstract

Peatlands have characteristics of low pH and lack nutrients. Oil palm is the main plant commodity in peatland management. Oil palm roots have been known to be a nutrition source for the growth of soil microbes, especially bacteria around their roots or PGPR. PGPR are a group of bacteria that play an important role in supporting plant growth and health. The purpose of this research was to obtain PGPR potential from oil palm roots which can be used as candidates for biofertilizer agents. In this study, the isolation and selection of PGPR isolate from oil palm roots on oil palm plantations in Central Kalimantan were carried out based on their plant growth-promoting traits, including the activity of producing Indole Acetic Acid (IAA), phosphate solubilizing, N-fixing, K solubilizing, siderophore production, ACC deaminase activity, proteolytic activity, cellulolytic activity, and ligninolytic activity. A total of 17 isolates were selected to be tested for their multiple activities ability. The final results of the PGPR characterization showed that of the seventeen isolates, all isolates had PGPR activity at least three different abilities. From the seventeen isolates, it was found that the SW 5.5 PK 3A isolate had the highest IAA production activity (58,50 ppm), SW 4.10 PK 1A isolate had the highest K solubilizing index (3,16), SW 8.5 PK 1A isolate had both the highest P solubilizing index (3,73) and the highest siderophore zone index (5,20), SW 4.11 PK isolate had the highest proteolytic index (4,80), and SW 4.10 PK 1A.P isolates had the highest cellulolytic index (5,11).
