Abstract

Ecoenzyme is a processed product from organic waste, water and sugar. Ecoenzyme can be a multifunctional liquid, especially in supporting plant growth. The nutrient content contained in ecoenzyme can encourage vegetative plants including the formation of chlorophyll in leaves. To support growth, various doses of ecoeznyme were given to land kale (Ipomoea reptans Poir). This study aims to determine the effect of the dose of ecoenzyme on the increase in leaf area of ​​land kangkung. This research was carried out from January 2022-February 2022 in the Plant Physiology Laboratory and Biology wire house of FMIPA UNP. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 7 treatments and 4 replications. Consists of: P1 (control), P2 (0.5% ecoenzyme), P3 (1% ecoenzyme), P4 (1.5% ecoenzyme), P5 (2% ecoenzyme), P6 (2.5 ecoenzyme), P7 ( 0.3 POC). The data obtained were analyzed by variance (ANOVA) with DMRT further test. The results showed that the dose of ecoenzyme did not have a significant effect on the increase in leaf area of ​​land kangkung (Ipomoea reptans Poir).

Abstract

The germination process of expired rice seeds is quite difficult because the seeds have decreased in quality due to expiration. Rice seeds (Oryza sativa L.) expired require increased viability to increase their germination. One way to increase seed viability is to use an invigoration material in the form of KNO3 by adjusting the soaking time and the concentration of KNO3 used. This study aimed to determine the best soaking time and KNO3 concentration to increase the viability of expired rice seeds. This research was conducted at the Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Padang State University in May-June 2022. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatment factors. The first factor is the length of immersion with 3 levels, namely 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours. The second factor is the concentration of KNO3 with 5 levels, namely 0%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, and 3%. Each treatment combination consisted of 4 replications. The parameter observed is the vigor index. The results showed that the treatment of KNO3 concentration had a significant effect on the parameters of the vigor index of expired Cisokan kuniang rice varieties. The immersion time had no significant effect on the vigor index parameter. The interaction between immersion time and KNO3 concentration significantly affected the vigor index parameter.

Abstract

One of the essential nutrients for plant growth is phosphate, but just 0.1-0.5% is available for plants to use. This problem can be solved by using chemical fertilizers, but for long run could damages environment. An alternative way for chemical fertilizers is using phosphate solubilizing fungi. Phosphate-solubilizing fungi can be isolated from soil or litter. This study aims to isolated fungi from litter’s forest of Aka Barayun, Lembah Harau, West Sumatra and determine it’s phosphate solubilizing potency. Medium for isolation was Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and medium for phosphate solubilizing activity test was solid Pikovskaya medium with source of bound phosphate Ca3(PO4)2. Thirteen fungi were isolated successfully from litter’s forest of Aka Barayun, Lembah Harau, West Sumatra, which are coded SR1-SR13. Based on macroscopic and microscopic morphology, it is known that two isolates belong to the genus Penicillium, two isolates belong to Trichoderma, one isolate of Verticillium, one isolate of Fusarium, two isolates of yeast and two isolates are not yet known. Results of the phosphate solubilizing test showed that only seven isolates were able to solubilize phosphate, they are isolates SR2, SR5, SR6, SR7, SR11, SR 12 and SR 13. Phosphate solubilization index is low and ranges from 0.1 to 0.4.
