Soybean is one of the secondary crops that has a good economic value. Soybean needs are increasing with increasing population, but production is not sufficient. Extensification programs can be carried out in sub-optimal swamp swamps with water saturated cultivation technology. Low pH and high Al and Fe are the main obstacles. One of the strategies taken is the provision of coral ameliorants. The aim of this study was to obtain information on the effectiveness of coral reefs to improve the cultivation of black soybean in swamp swamps. The study was conducted in March - May 2018 at the Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ratu Samban Arga Makmur Bengkulu Utara. The study used a randomized block design with factorial patterns. The first factor in the dose of ameliorant per plant consisted of: P0: control, P1= 5 g, P2 = 6 g, P3= 7 g, P4= 8 g, P5= 9 g, P6= 10 g. The second factor when the ameliorant application consists of: W1= 4 weeks before planting (MBT), W2 = 3 MBT, W3 = 2 MBT, W4 = 1 MBT, W5= when planting, W6= 1 weeks after panting. The results showed that the treatment of the dose and time of application of coral ameliorants had a very significant effect on plant height and number of leaves. There is no real interaction between the dose and time of ameliorant application to all variables. The best dose of ameliorant treatment is 9 g per plant and can increase the height and number of leaves per plant. When the application of 1 MBT and 1 MST is able to produce the best height and number of leaves.

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the leading vegetable commodities used as food seasoning and traditional medicine. This study aims to see the effect of providing various doses of NPK fertilizer and types of biological fertilizers on the growth and production of shallot plants. This study used a randomized block design (RAK) arranged in a factorial (4 x 2). The first factor is the NPK fertilizer dosage which consists of four levels, namely: N0= 0% (without NPK fertilizer), N1= 50% (25 g/m2), N2= 100% (50 g/m2), and N3= 150% (75 g/m2). The second factor is the type of biological fertilizer which consists of two levels, namely: H1= Grikulan plus fertilizer and H2= EM4. The results showed that the NPK fertilizer dosage treatment up to a dose of 75g/m2 gave the best results on plant growth and development, including the number of leaves, plant height, fresh tuber weight per plant, wind dry tuber weight per plant, and wind dry tuber weight per m2. The growth and development of shallot plants with the application of Grikulan biological fertilizers were better than those of EM4 biological fertilizers. Treatment of NPK fertilizer dosage of 150% or equivalent to 75 g / m2 supplemented with the application of Grikulan plus fertilizer results in higher production, namely the weight of dry tubers per m2 reaching 1674.33 g or equivalent to 11.72 tonnes/ha.

Banjarbaru merupakan salah satu daerah di Kalimantan Selatan yang memiliki prospek yang baik sebagai daerah pengembangan komoditas krisan. Pertumbuhan tanaman krisan sangat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, misalnya media tanam, ketersediaan air dan hara, iklim mikro, suhu, kelembaban, serta intensitas cahaya matahari tertentu sehingga untuk memenuhi kebutuhan akan cahaya yang optimal maka perlakuan naungan diperlukan selama fase pertumbuhannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh persentase kerapatan pada naungan terhadap pertumbuhan setek krisan varietas Puspita Nusantara. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Bulan November sampai Desember 2020, bertempat di Kebun Percobaan Jurusan Agroekoteknologi Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Lambung Mangkurat Banjarbaru. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian yaitu Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan perlakuan kerapatan paranet, yaitu n1 (paranet dengan kerapatan 75%), n2 (paranet dengan kerapatan 100%), n3 (paranet dengan kerapatan 125%), dan n4 (paranet dengan kerapatan 150%), yang terdiri atas lima kelompok sehingga terdapat 20 satuan percobaan, dan setiap satuan percobaan terdapat lima unit tanaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase naungan berpengaruh terhadap parameter jumlah daun, persentase setek hidup, dan tinggi tanaman yang tumbuh, tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata pada saat awal muncul tunas. Perlakuan n2 berpengaruh paling baik terhadap persentase setek hidup (64%), jumlah daun (4,1 helai) serta tinggi tunas (4,26 cm).KeywordsKrisan; Setek; Paranet; Iklim mikroAbstract Banjarbaru as one of the areas in South Kalimantan has good prospects as a chrysanthemum development area. The growth of chrysanthemums is strongly influenced by several factors, such as planting media, availability of water and nutrients, microclimate, temperature, humidity, and a certain intensity of sunlight, so to meet the need for optimal light, shade treatment is required during the growth phase. This study aims to determine the effect of the percentage density in the shade on the growth of chrysanthemum cuttings of the Puspita Nusantara variety. The research was carried out from November to December 2020, at the Experimental Garden of the Department of Agroecotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Lambung Mangkurat, Banjarbaru. The method used in this research is a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with the treatment of n1 (shading net with a density of 75%), n2 (shading net with a density of 100%), n3 (shading net with a density of 125%), and n4 (shading net with a density of 150%), which consisted of five groups so that there were 20 experimental units, and each experimental unit contained five plant units. The results showed that the percentage of shade affected the parameters of the number of leaves, the percentage of live cuttings, and plant height that grew, but had no significant effect on the initial emergence of shoots. The n2 treatment had the best effect on the percentage of live cuttings (64%), the number of leaves (4.1 strands), and shoots height (4.26 cm).

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji karakteristik pengeringan jahe merah dengan metode penjemuran langsung dan menggunakan alat pengering tipe Hohenheim. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) non faktorial dengan 2 taraf, yaitu penjemuran langsung (B1) dan menggunakan alat pengering tipe Hohenheim (B2). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata suhu pengeringan pada alat pengering tipe Hohenheim lebih tinggi dibandingkan rata-rata suhu pengeringan secara penjemuran, sedangkan kelembaban relatif dalam alat pengering tipe Hohenheim lebih rendah dibandingkan kelembaban relatif pada sistem penjemuran. Susut bobot dan laju pengeringan pada pengeringan menggunakan alat pengering tipe Hohenheim lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan metode penjemuran. Kadar air pada pengeringan menggunakan alat pengering (19,84%) secara nyata lebih rendah dibandingkan pada metode penjemuran (37,02%). Metode pengeringan tidak berpengaruh terhadap kontaminasi benda asing, namun pengeringan menggunakan alat pengering tipe Hohenheim menghasilkan warna jahe merah yang lebih cerah dibandingkan dengan metode penjemuran. Oleh karena itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengeringan menggunakan alat pengering tipe Hohenheim lebih baik dibandingkan metode penjemuran.DRYING CHARACTERISTICS OF RED GINGER UNDER SUN DRYING AND BY USING HOHENHEIM TYPE DRYERAbstract. This study aimed to assess the drying characteristics of red ginger under sun drying method and by using Hohenheim type dryer. This study used a non factorial randomized block design with drying method at 2 levels, namely the sun drying method (B1) and Hohenheim type dryer (B2).The results showed that the average temperature drying in Hohenheim type dryer is higher than the average temperature of sun drying method, while the relative humidity in the dryer is lower than the relative humidity of sun drying method. The weight loss and the drying rate of red ginger dried by using Hohenheim type dryer is higher than that of sun drying method. The moisture content of red ginger dried by using Hohenheim type drier (19.84%) was significantly lower than that of sun drying method (37.02%). Drying method did not affect the rate of contamination on both methods. However, red ginger dried by using Hohenheim type drier has brighter colour than that of sun drying method. Therefore, it can be concluded that the drying process by using Hohenheim type drier was better than that of sun drying method.
