The use of un-composted spent mushroom residue as a replacement of peat in substrates for Gossypium herbaceum and Talinum paniculatum

Improving people’s welfare is the main goal of development, which can be achieved among others through the intensive use of house yards. Every community member owns a yard at their house. This activity is done in collaboration with housewives who are not working at Pelambuan Selatan sub-district, Banjarmasin, who have irregular monthly incomes. House yards are used effectively to cultivate vegetables and medicinal plants on organic media which are arranged vertically. Such use is expected to be able to help families meeting their daily nutritional needs or in case they need medicinal aids. This activity is also expected to be sustainable so that the yield can be sold for some extra household income. The methods applied in this program include (1) Dissemination on the Utilization of House Yards, Planting Techniques, and Information on Vegetable Crops and Medicinal Plants; (2) Provision of vegetables and medicinal plants seedlings and seeds, growing media, watering cans, and plant racks; (3) Mentoring to the partners on the process of seedling, planting, and maintenance.

Plastic Bottle

One of the characteristics of a healthy environment is properly waste managed. Densely populated are areas where waste management needs to be improved. Plastic bottle is one type of waste that is widely available in densely populated areas. This waste, is difficult to decompose in the environment, and has not been managed optimally. The use of plastic bottle needs to be reduce the problem of waste, among others, it can be used as a vertical garden media. The methods are discourse, discussions, demonstrations, and practice how to create the plastic bottles make to vertical garden media. The participants are non-productive people, they are housewives. An important result of the activity is that the participants have the understand, skills and ability to make a vertical garden independently. Plastic bottle waste becomes useful, no longer becomes garbage. Plastic bottles are a growing media for vegetable and medicinal plants, that can beautify and green the environment in densely populated areas. It is hoped that participants will develop their potential in managing the environment starting from home, and sharing skills with the surrounding community.

Dalbergia Odorifera

The purpose of this study was to detect nutrient uptake and assimilation in woody plants subjected to growing media with some peat replaced by spent mushroom residue (SMR). Fragrant rosewood (Dalbergia odorifera T.C. Chen) seedlings were cultured in five types of growing media with SMR and peat in volumetric proportions of 0% (control), 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. With the increase of SMR proportion, ammonium- and nitrate-nitrogen (N) concentrations declined but available phosphorus (P) concentration and electrical conductance both increased. Seedlings in the full SMR substrates showed obvious mortality. Seedlings in substrates with SMR in proportions higher than 25% showed symptoms of excessive N and P toxicities. The utilization efficiency for P was highest in the 25% SMR growing-media. Mineral N in substrates had a positive relationship with growth and biomass but not with glutamine synthetase activity. Available P was negatively related with acid phosphatase activity in both leaves and roots. Un-composted SMR can replace 25% of peat in growing media for fragrant rosewood seedlings, benefitting P uptake and assimilation.

Abstract This study aimed to assess whether licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) can benefit from dual inoculation by Trichoderma viride and dark septate endophytes (DSE) isolated from other medicinal plants. We investigated the influences of three DSE (Paraboeremia putaminum, Scytalidium lignicola, and Phoma herbarum) isolated from other medicinal plants on the performance of licorice at different T. viride densities (1×106, 1×107, and 1×108 CFU/mL). Three DSE strains could colonize the roots of licorice, and they established a positive symbiosis with host plants depending on DSE species and T. viride densities. Inoculation of Paraboeremia putaminum increased the root biomass, length, surface area, and root:shoot ratio. Scytalidium lignicola increased the root length, diameter and surface area and decreased the root:shoot ratio. Phoma herbarum increased the root biomass and surface area. T. viride increased the root biomass, length, and surface area. Structural equation model (SEM) analysis showed that DSE associated with T. viride augmented plant biomass and height, shoot branching, and root surface area. Variations in root morphology and biomass were attributed to differences in DSE species and T. viride density among treatments. Paraboeremia putaminum or Phoma herbarum with low- or medium T. viride density and S. lignicola with low- or high T. viride density improved licorice root morphology and biomass. Our findings support the viewpoint that non-host DSE enhanced the root growth of the host plant under different densities T. viride conditions and may also be used to promote the cultivation of medicinal plants.
