Effect Of Liquid Organic Fertilizer Doses And Rhizoctonia Binuclate Fungi On The Growth Of Vanilly Seedlings (Vanilla Planifolia Andrews)

Arif Hidayanto — 2025-08-07

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Andrews) is a plantation crop that has high economic value, especially because its seeds are used as the main raw material in the food and beverage industry. Rhizoctonia binucleate fungus and liquid organic fertilizer can prevent stem rot disease in vanilla plants by competing directly with disease-causing pathogens. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of administering Rhizoctonia binucleate fungus and liquid organic fertilizer on the development of stem rot disease in vanilla plants (Vanilla planifolia Andrews). The treatments carried out were designed in a factorial experiment in a complete Randomized Block Design. Liquid organic fertilizer doses: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 ml/plant, 5g Rhizoctonia binucleate (BNR) dose, without BNR and BNR treatment, giving Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae 5 grams and without giving Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae. The results showed that administration of Rhizoctonia binucleate and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae (R1), Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae (R2) and liquid organic fertilizer (P) have a significant effect on the growth of vanilla seedlings, namely on the number of leaves parameter, while on the parameters of plant height, leaf area, fresh plant stover weight, plant dry stover weight, fresh root weight and root dry fruit, these interactions do not have a significant effect.

Abstract

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a horticultural plant which is widely used as a kitchen spice and as an ingredient in traditional medicine. This research aims to determine the effect of liquid organic fertilizer doses and cow manure doses on the growth and yield of shallots. The research used a Complete Randomized Block Design (RAKL) with two factors, namely the dose of liquid organic fertilizer (0 ml, 10 ml, 20 ml per plant) and the dose of cow manure (0, 5, 10, 15 tons/ha), with three replications so that there were 12 treatment combinations. The results of the research showed that applying liquid organic fertilizer had an effect on plant height and fresh stover weight, but had no effect on dry stover weight. Liquid organic fertilizer also affects the number of tubers and tuber weight per plant, but has no effect on tuber diameter. Cow manure affects plant height, number of leaves, weight of fresh stover, as well as crop yields such as number of tubers, tuber weight and tuber diameter. The combination of liquid organic fertilizer and cow manure had an effect on the number of leaves and weight of fresh stover, but had no effect on plant height, dry stover weight and tuber yield. The best combination was obtained in the treatment of 20 ml liquid organic fertilizer and 15 tons/ha of cow manure (G2S3).

Influence of Bacillus subtilis Biomass on Composting Outcomes Using Decomposer Bacteria Across Various Compost Media with a Control Comparison

Annisa Dika Ameylia — 2025-08-07

Bacteria play a role in processing agricultural waste into compost. Rice and corn straw waste has potential as organic fertilizer. This research aims to compare the effectiveness of decomposer bacteria in the composting process. The research was carried out in Bowan, Klaten, February-June 2023, using a completely randomized factorial design consisting of 8 treatments and 4 replications. The first factor is the type of bacteria consisting of no bacteria, cellulotic+rhizomonas, cellulotic+BRS, rhizomonas+subtilis, subtilis, while the second factor is the type of composting media, namely straw and corn. Observations include water hold capacity, time, weight and compost water content. The results of the research show that the type of bacteria influences the water hold capacity, time and weight of the compost. In the composting process, corn waste is more effective than straw. The interaction of the type of bacteria and composting media influences the water holding capacity, time and weight of the compost. In conclusion, subtilis bacteria play an important role in accelerating composting, increasing efficiency through the correct interaction of bacteria and waste. Corn waste is superior to straw in producing high quality compost.

Muhammad Fariskan Anggara — 2025-08-12

This study aims to find out the agricultural land lease system for farmers in Ketaon Village, Banyudono District, Boyolali Regency, and to determine the feasibility of rice farming in the land lease system in Ketaon Village, Banyudono District, Boyolali Regency. The location of the research was carried out in Ketaon Village, Banyudono District, Boyolali Regency. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling. This research was carried out within 5 planting seasons because in 2 years it consisted of 6 planting seasons; 1 planting season could not be done because there was an improvement in irrigation. The analysis method used is quantitative descriptive. The data analysis used is descriptive analysis and investment analysis. The result of this study is that the agricultural land rental system carried out by the average farmer in Ketaon Village, Banyudono District, Boyolali Regency, is with the adol oyodan land rental system. This rental system is a land rental system where tenants give money in advance directly to the owner of agricultural land (rice fields). This land lease system is worth continuing to strive for this because based on the calculations that have been carried out, it shows from several calculations both through the calculation of NPV (Net Present Value) 20.814.535, IRR (Internal Rate of Return) 100%+, Net Benefit Cost Ratio 3,4779, Gross Benefit Cost Ratio (Gross B/C)2,2033 shows a positive value and meets the eligibility requirements for the farming business carried out.

Strategy Of Change Of Human Resources Investment By Tobacco Farm Workers In Improving Productivity

Vynysha Maretha Enjellhyna Slamet Riyadi — 2025-08-12

The human resource investment focused in this study is on education and training to improve the competence and skills of farm workers. Human resource investment, especially in green education and green skills, is very important to improve the productivity of tobacco farm workers. This study aims to identify problems related to human resource (HR) investment in tobacco farm workers and formulate change strategies to improve their productivity. This study uses a mixed method, namely qualitative, quantitative, and descriptive. The results of the study showed that the results of direct observation in the field found several problems, namely: 1) Farm workers are not experts in the application of environmentally friendly technology 2) Farm workers are unable to use biopesticides 3) Farm workers are unable to choose varieties of plants that are resistant to pests 4) There is no change in the behavior of farm workers in implementing green technology . Based on these findings, this study proposes a change strategy that includes: 1) Using DBHCHT to access training environmentally friendly technology 2) Using DBHCHT to participate in biopesticide training 3) Using DBHCHT to improve experience in using varieties 4) DBHCHT is used to improve self-motivation. The implementation of this strategy is expected to improve the competence, skills, and productivity of tobacco farm workers.

Tobacco Farm Workers' Incomes: Analyzing the Influence of Diverse Socio-Economic Factors

Tamalia Azzahra Wahyuningtyas — 2025-08-12

Understanding the socio-economic factors influencing tobacco farm laborersâ€™ income is essential for improving their financial stability and productivity. Many farm workers face economic uncertainty due to low education levels, limited experience, and fluctuating wages. Existing studies often overlook the combined impact of these factors, creating a research gap in labor income dynamics. This study aims to analyze how education, experience, age, and family size affect farm laborers' earnings. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, using surveys, interviews, and multiple linear regression analysis on respondents from Kagokan and Klaseman villages, Gatak District. The findings reveal that education and experience positively impact income, while age negatively influences earnings due to declining physical ability. Family size shows no significant effect. These results highlight the need for policy interventions such as vocational training, wage restructuring, and education access for farm laborers. Policymakers should implement sustainable programs to bridge economic disparities and enhance workforce efficiency. Future research should explore the role of agricultural technology adoption and gender-based income disparities, offering deeper insights into labor market dynamics.
