Abstract

The development of a suitable technology for handling  sugar cane plantation's solid organic waste especially bagasse, filter mud, and trash is one of the most important concerns in the management system of sugar cane plantation.  Solid organic waste of sugar cane is potentially suitable as a compost raw material processed by introducing lingocellulosic-degrading microbes, particularly Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Trichoderma pseudokoningii, and Trichoderma sp. The microbes were formulated in a commercial bioactivator product namely SuperDec. The significant results have been obtained on biodegradation of trash composted by using this bioactivator.  Compost maturity could be reached in 7-21 days of incubation indicated by the reductions of solid organic waste particle size and C/N ratio. Based on selected production component values of this trial, the production cost of trash-originated compost is Rp. 200,-/kg with nutrient value equivalent to Rp. 260,-/kg.  Combined applications of the compost with NPK single or with NPK compound fertilizers yielded higher biomass production i.e. 28.5 and 13.3%, respectively, than that obtained from standard NPK single fertilizer application.   Key words:   Sugar cane plantation, solid organic waste, SuperDec, composting technology, C/N ratio, production cost

Abstract

Implementation of national food safety program to increase food production still faces some constraints.  The intensification program has resulted the marginal land to be fully dependent on chemical fertilizers, where leveling-off production has occurred. Low organic matter content as a source of microbial feed and energy decreased the activity of soil microbes.  Efficiency of fertilization on marginally suitable soils might be achieved by the application of biofertilizer.  Enhancing Microbial Activities in the Soils (EMAS) is a biofertilizer consisting of non-symbiotic N-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing microbes, and aggregate stabilizing microbes. This experiment was initiated to evaluate the effectiveness of EMAS bio-fertilizer in reducing the dosage of conventional fertilizers used in corn at Pelaihari, South Kalimantan.  Based on the current production value and total of cost production, reducing 25, 50 and 75% conventional fertilizer provided the planters with 1.44, 1.13, and 1.12 revenue cost ratio.  Yield of dry grain of corn was higher (+41.8%) by application of 75% standard dosage and 1 gram EMAS biofertilizer/plant (53.3 kg/ha) than by standard dosage of conventional fertilizer.   Key words: bio-fertilizer EMAS, corn, evaluation, pelaihari

Abstract

The highest expense on sugarcane management is fertilization in which one of them is phosphate fertilizer produced by imported raw materials.  An innovation was made by using the local phosphate deposits with low reactivity processed further to improve their effectiveness for sugarcane. The objective of this study was to investigate the growth, yield and quality of sugarcane as affected by bio-superphosphate (Bio-SP) application on a highly weathered tropical soil. A nine-month field experiment was conducted at Jatitujuh Sugar Mill area, West Java, Indonesia, comparing between sugarcane fertilized with Bio-SP to replace conventional single superphosphate (SP-36) and that fertilized with SP-36. Urea and MOP (Muriate of Potash) were applied at similar dosages as recommended by division of Jatitujuh Sugar Mill Agronomy Research. Bio-SP was formulated by reacting a Central Java Rock Phosphate with liquid culture supernatant (LCS) and phosphoric acid characterized by 33% total soluble P2O5, 23.1, and 10.7 % citric acid and water-soluble P2O5, respectively. The results indicated that Bio-SP at 50% dosage of SP-36 was as effective as the SP-36 in supporting sugarcane growth and improved yield up to 8% as crystal sugar.  Further consequence of this finding is that the application of Bio-SP reduced 9.2% of fertilizer cost for sugarcane.

Abstract

Abstract This research was carried out to investigate the characteristics of exopolysaccharide functional groups of Burkholderia cenocepacia strain KTG originated from three different soil texture classes. This bacterium was isolated from rhizosphere of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) and has a highly potential exopolysaccharides production (4.3- 5.8 mg/mL) promoting soil aggregate formation. Fouriertransformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for obtaining vibrational spectra of the exopolysaccharide. The bacterium was cultured in ATCC no.4 medium with a different source of carbon i.e. 2% (w/v) of sucrose, glucose, manitol, lactose, and 4-hydroxy-phenyl acetic acid as carbon sources respectively for initial characterization and then soil suspension of clay, sandy loam, and loamy sand. Analysis of the FTIR spectrum of the exopolysaccharide B. cenocepacia KTG strain both contain similar source of carbon in liquid ATCC no.14 medium and soil solution after 72 hours incubation showed intensive bands in the range of 3403-3400 cm-1 and 1651-1636 cm-1 corresponding to the stretching band of O-H (hydroxyl) and C=O (carbonyl) of exopolysaccharide. In the region 1135-993 cm-1 , exopolysaccharide of B. cenocepacia KTG strain exhibited the characteristic absorption at 1126 cm-1 corresponding to the existence of α and β configurationsAbstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari karakteristik gugus fungsional eksopolisakarida Burkholderia cenocepacia strain KTG di dalam tiga kelas tekstur tanah yang berbeda. Bakteri ini diisolasi dari rizosfer kelapa sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) dan memiliki potensi menghasilkan eksopolisakarida dalam jumlah tinggi (4,3-5,8 mg/mL) untuk membentuk agregat tanah. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) digunakan untuk memperoleh gambaran spektra dari eksopolisakarida. Sebagai tahap awal karakterisasi gugus fungsional, bakteri ditumbuhkan di dalam medium ATCC no.14 dengan 2 % (b/v) sumber karbon berbeda yaitu: sukrosa, glukosa, manitol, laktosa, dan 4- hydroxyphenyl acetic acid dan diuji pula dalam larutan bahan tanah berliat, lempung berpasir, dan pasir berlempung. Hasil analisis dengan spektrum menunjukkan bahwa di dalam medium ATCC no.14 dengan jenis karbon berbeda ataupun di dalam larutan tanah setelah inkubasi 72 jam terlihat penyerapan pita yang intensif pada bilangan gelombang 3403-3400 cm-1 dan 1651-1636 cm-1 yang menandakan gugus hidroksil dan karbonil. Pada wilayah bilangan gelombang 1135-992.9 cm-1 , eksopolisakarida B. cenocepacia strain KTG menunjukkan penyerapan spesifik pada bilangan gelombang 1126 cm-1 yang menandakan konfigurasi ikatan α dan β.

AbstractAbility to quantify the amounts of N 2 fixed in agri-cultural land is critical to manage the N cycle for optimalfood and plantation crop production. Isotope and relatednuclear technique such as 15 N isotope dilution technique hasplayed a significant role in nutrient management analysis forquantification of biological N 2 fixation. The largest pool of Nin the environment is atmospheric N 2 and it has a constantnatural abundance of 0.3663 % atom15 N. 15 N is a stableisotope of N and used as a unique tracer to evaluate thepotential of N 2 fixing bacteria, especially symbiotic and non-symbiotic Rhizobacterium. A field experiment has beeninitiated at IBRIEC to assess the N 2 fixing capacity ofrhizobacterium isolated from sandy textured soil at CentralKalimantan and evaluate the potential of bacteria N 2 fixingon corn (Zea mays). Field experiment has been conducted atCiomas Research Station, IBRIEC-Bogor for four months.The field experiment has been organized according to themethod of Randomized Complete Blocks Design with sixtreatments and three replicates. The results of this studysuggested that the method was reliable for estimation of %Ndfa as well as quantitative analysis of the amount of N fixedfrom the atmosphare. The proportion of N 2 uptake derivedfrom the atmophere was estimated as 32% of the whole plantbasis which was equivalent to approximately 4.8 kg N/ha.The inoculation of Rhizobacterium increased dry matter ofcorn leaves, roots, and grains significantly.AbstrakKemampuan penetapan jumlah N 2 yang dapat ditambatpada lahan pertanian merupakan suatu hal yang penting untukmengatur siklus N sebagai upaya mencapai tingkat produk-tivitas yang optimal di tanaman pangan dan perkebunan.Teknik isotop atau yang berhubungan dengan teknologinuklir seperti isotop 15 N memiliki peran signifikan di dalammanagemen kebun berbasis nutrisi untuk mengkuantifikasipenambatan N 2 secara biologi. Cadangan N terbesar di dalamlingkungan adalah N 2 atmosfer.

Abstract

AbstractHeavy metals are widespread pollutants insoil and become environmental concern as theyare non-degradable and highly persistent. Solidand/or liquid wastes containing toxic heavymetals may be generated in various industrial ormining processes. A heavy metal resistantbacterium may be present in the soil and miningsite. As they already preconditioned by abundantheavy metals contaminant, the use of thesebacterium is assumed to be effective in improvingmetals reduction. To obtain bacterial isolateshighly capable of mercury (Hg) reduction,isolation activities have been conducted atselected sites of mining locations in SouthSumatera. The highly potential bacteriapossessing mercury reducing capability has beenisolated from this site i.e. Pseudomonasfluorescens KTSS strain. Inoculating of 25%(v/w) suspension of P. fluorescens KTSS strain insoil material added 5000 ppb of mercury, couldreduced about 53.3% of mercury soil contents.Best vegetative growth performance of cocoaseedlings was shown by the application of 15-15-15 NPK conventional fertilizers in combinationwith the addition of 1.6 – 3.25 g of P. fluorescensKTSS bio-ameliorant/seed. A Greenhouseexperiment results of cocoa seedlings were inconcordance with those obtained from field trialsof paddy.AbstrakLogam berat merupakan jenis polutan yangterdistribusi secara luas di dalam tanah danmendapat perhatian secara khusus karena sifatnyayang tidak dapat terdegradasi serta dapat bertahanlama di dalam lingkungan. Limbah padatdan/atau cair yang dihasilkan dari berbagai prosesindustri dan pertambangan mengandung logamberat toksik. Jenis bakteri yang resisten terhadaplogam berat mungkin berada di dalam tanah dandi lokasi tambang. Apabila bakteri tersebut dapatberadaptasi pada lingkungan dengan tingkatkontaminasi logam berat yang tinggi, makadiasumsikan bahwa penggunaan bakteri tersebutsangat efektif dalam meningkatkan reduksi logamberat. Untuk memperoleh isolat bakteri yangmemiliki kemampuan mereduksi merkuri (Hg),maka satu rangkaian kegiatan isolasi telahdilakukan di lokasi tambang terpilih di SumateraSelatan. Bakteri potensial pereduksi merkuri yangtelah diisolasi dari lokasi ini diidentifikasisebagai Pseudomonas fluorescens strain KTSS.Inokulasi sebanyak 25% (v/b) suspensi P. fluore-scens strain KTSS ke dalam bahan tanah yangtelah ditambah dengan 5000 ppb merkuri, dapatmereduksi sekitar 53,3% kandungan merkuri didalam tanah. Pertumbuhan terbaik dari bibitkakao diperoleh dari perlakuan pupuk NPK 15-15-15 yang dikombinasikan dengan 1,6 – 3,25 gbioamelioran P. Fluorescens strain KTSS/bibit.Pengujian bioamelioran P. fluorescens strainKTSS di lapang pada tanaman padi memberikanpola keefektifan yang sama dengan hasilpengujian terhadap bibit kakao yang dilakukan dirumah kaca.

Abstract

Summary Pseudomonas fluorescens PG7II.1, Flavobacterium sp. PG7II.2, and  Pseudomonas diminuta PG7II.9 have a potential to produce exopolysaccharide which help the  formation and stabilization of soil aggregate. These bacteria have been isolated from the rhizosphere of Saccharum officinarum.  Exopolysaccharide production in ATCC 14 liquid medium with sucrose was higher than that obtained from glucose, lactose, and 4-hydroxyphenil acetic acid       (4-HAA) as a carbon sources. Producing of exopolysaccharide from these bacteria were 8.04 (P. fluorescens PG7II.1), 2.0 (Flavo-bacterium sp. PG7II.2) and 1.82 mg/mL (P. diminuta PG7II.9). Aggregate Stability Index (ASI) of mineral soil material was 114 when inoculated by these isolates after 60 days incubation period at ambient temperature. The ASI value of inoculated mineral soil material significantly different with uninoculated. The optimum of bacterial suspension to increase aggregate stability of mineral soil material was 12.5% (v/w) consisted of 109 CFU per mL.  Ringkasan          Pseudomonas fluorescens PG7II.1, Flavobacterium sp. PG7II.2, dan Pseudomonas diminuta PG7II.9, memiliki potensi dalam menghasilkan eksopolisakarida untuk pem-bentukan dan kemantapan agregat tanah. Ketiga bakteri tersebut diisolasi dari rhizosfer Saccharum officinarum. Sukrosa merupakan sumber karbon terbaik untuk produksi eksopolisakarida di dalam medium cair ATCC 14 apabila dibandingkan dengan glukosa, laktosa, dan 4-hydroxyphenil acetic acid  (4-HAA). Eksopolisakarida yang dihasilkan dari ketiga bakteri tersebut masing-masing 8,04 (P. fluorescens PG7II.1); 2,0 (Flavobacterium sp. PG7II.2) dan 1,82 mg/mL (P. diminuta PG7II.9). Inokulasi ketiga isolat tersebut ke dalam bahan tanah mineral memberikan indeks stabilitas agregat (ASI) sebesar 114 setelah 60 hari inkubasi pada suhu ruang. Nilai indeks ini berbeda secara nyata apabila dibandingkan dengan bahan tanah mineral tanpa inokulan. Jumlah suspensi bakteri yang diperlukan untuk meningkatkan nilai indeks stabilitas agregat di dalam bahan tanah mineral secara optimum ialah 12,5% (v/b), dengan jumlah populasi bakteri 109 CFU   per mL.

Abstract

AbstractSoil aggregation is a dynamic and very important factor for the development of agricultural soil functions. Unstable soil aggregation in a sandy soil type is a limiting factor for plant growth. The aim of this study was to investigate theinfluence of a exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium and organic material on some physical properties of a sandy soil. A highly potential bacterium for exopolysaccharides production, i.e Burkholderia cenocepacia, was isolated froma sandy soil located at Kotawaringin Barat, Central Kalimantan. The isolated bacterium is capable on improving aggregate’s stability of a soil with about 60% sand fraction [medium sand fraction (MSF)]. Interaction between available water and electric conductivity with aggregate stability index has significant correlation in medium sand fraction inoculated by 109 CFU of B. cenocepacia suspension, i.e. r = 0.806* and r=0.966**, respectively. Organic materials and its combination with the addition of 108 CFU B. cenocepacia suspension treatments could increase the aggregate stability index but have no effects on bulk density and total pore space values in an artificial condition of medium sand fraction. AbstrakAgregasi tanah bersifat dinamis dan merupakan faktor penting untuk pengembangan fungsi tanah pertanian. Ketidakstabilan agregat tanah pada jenis tanah berpasir merupakan faktor pembatas untuk pertumbuhan tanaman.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh eksopolisakarida bakteri dan bahan organik terhadap beberapa sifat fisik bahan tanah berpasir. Satu bakteri potensial penghasil eksopolisakarida yaitu Burkholderia cenocepacia telah berhasil diisolasi dari bahan tanah berpasir asal Kotawaringin Barat, Kalimantan Tengah. Bakteri ini dapat meningkatkan kemantapan agregat bahan tanah dengan kandungan fraksi pasir sekitar 60% [fraksi pasir sedang (FPS)]. Hubungan antara air tersedia dan konduktivitas elektrik terhadap indeks kemantapan agregat sangat nyata pada bahan tanah FPS yang diinokulasi dengan 109 CFU suspensi B. cenocepacia masing-masing r = 0,806* dan = 0,966**. Perlakuan bahan organik dan kombinasinya dengan penambahan 109CFU suspensi B. cenocepacia dapat meningkatkan indeks kemantapan agregat tetapi tidak mempengaruhi nilai kerapatan lindak dan total ruang pori di dalam fraksi pasir sedang.
