<p>The physical and chemical properties of the growing medium for <em>root trainer</em> of rubber are critical to support plant growth. This study aimed to obtain the best medium for growing rootstock rubber seedlings in the <em>root trainer</em>.  Rubber clone PR 300 seeds were germinated for 21 days, then raised in <em>root trainer</em> pots for five months. The treatments evaluated were a mixture of <em>cocopeat</em>, Rawapening peat, and manure at different ratios.  The experiment was designed in a Randomized Block Design, three replications, 30 plants per replicate, totaling 720 plants. The observed variables were N, P, K, Mg, C-organic content, pH, and cation exchange capacity of <em>cocopeat</em>, peat, and manure, as well as plant growth (height, stem diameter, wet weight, and dry weight). ANOVA used for analyzing data, followed with the <em>Duncan Multiple Range Test</em> at 5% level. The results showed that there were three best <em>root trainer</em> media for PR 300 rubber rootstock seedlings were a mixture of <em>cocopeat</em> + peat (1:1), <em>cocopeat</em> + peat + manure (1:2:1), and <em>cocopeat</em> + peat + manure (2:1:1). The growth and compactness of the roots are outstanding, so the seedlings are easily removed from the <em>root </em><em>trainer</em> pots without significant damage. Based on the initiation and cost, the best <em>root trainer</em> medium is a mixture of <em>cocopeat</em> + peat + manure (1: 2:1). It is necessary to study the use of other types of peat soils apart from Rawapening. Also, it needs to be observed further plant growth after inoculation with the stem and after planting in the field.</p><p><strong>Keywords </strong>: Planting medium, Rawapening peat, rubber clone PR 300.<em></em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p><strong>Abstrak<br /></strong></p><p>Sifat fisik dan kimia media tanam di dalam wadah <em>root trainer</em> bibit karet sangat penting untuk mendukung pertumbuhan tanaman.

Landscape water conservation methods and techniques contribute to managing water resources. Use of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) data and landscape coefficients is one method that needs further development. Local ETo data and actual plant water use were used to calculate plant factors (PFs) for three model landscapes composed of mixtures of turfgrass and shrubs. Model landscapes using a sandy loam soil included st. augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum), privet (Ligustrum japonicum), dwarf burford holly (Ilex cornuta ‘Burfordii Nana’), and dwarf yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria ‘Nana’) at three ratios of turfgrass to shrub vegetative cover: 80:20, 50:50, and 20:80. Soil was placed into inground lysimeters in a complete randomized block design with soil moisture sensors and a drainage system. Lysimeters were irrigated with a sprinkler system, and water was applied at a rate of 100% replacement of ETo minus precipitation. Lysimeter soil leachate was collected from the drainage system and quantified. After 2 years, the PF of 20:80 and 50:50 turfgrass/shrub combination were greater than the PF of the 80:20 combination. Plant factors for the 80:20, 50:50, and 20:80 turfgrass:shrub combinations were 0.68, 0.97, and 1.01, respectively. There were no seasonal differences in PFs. Total growing season leachate depth over 2 years was 63.4, 30.7, and 12.6 mm for 80:20, 50:50, and 20:80, respectively. Further work on PFs should include other plant combinations, and evaluation in other climatic zones.

The need for reliable planting techniques that encourage posttransplant root growth in adverse conditions has prompted research into planting above soil grade (above-grade). Container-grown Morella cerifera (L.) Small (syn. Myrica cerifera L.) (wax myrtle), Illicium floridanum Ellis (Florida anise tree), and Kalmia latifolia L. (mountain laurel) plants were planted in Horhizotrons (root observation chambers) in a greenhouse in Auburn, AL, on 1 Mar. 2006, 6 June 2006, and 3 Jan. 2007, respectively. The experiment was repeated with all three species being planted 18 June 2007. Horhizotrons contained four glass quadrants extending away from the root ball providing a nondestructive method for measuring root growth of the same plant into different rhizosphere conditions. Each quadrant was filled with a native sandy loam soil in the lower 10 cm. The upper 10 cm of the quadrants were filled randomly with: 1) milled pine bark (PB); 2) peat (P); 3) cotton gin compost (CGC); or 4) more native soil with no organic matter (NOM). Horizontal root lengths (HRL, length measured parallel to the ground from the root ball to the root tip) of the five longest roots visible along each side of a quadrant were measured weekly for M. cerifera and I. floridanum and biweekly for K. latifolia. These measurements represented lateral growth and penetration of roots into surrounding substrates on transplanting. When roots of a species neared the end of the quadrant, the experiment was ended for that species. M. cerifera had the fastest rate of lateral root growth followed by I. floridanum and then by K. latifolia. In most cases, roots grew initially into the organic matter rather than the soil when organic matter was present. In general, HRL and root dry weight (RDW) of I. floridanum and K. latifolia were greatest in PB and P, whereas for M. cerifera, these were greatest in P. Differences in root growth among substrates were not as pronounced for M. cerifera as for the other species, perhaps as a result of its rapid increase in HRL. Increased root growth in PB and P may be attributed to the ideal physical and chemical properties of these substrates. Results suggest that planting above soil grade with organic matter may increase posttransplant root growth compared with planting at grade with no organic matter.

Non-fat yogurt exhibited weak body, poor texture, and whey separation because of reduction of fat. The separation of whey in yogurt is not desired by consumer. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of adding whey protein concentrate (WPC) and xanthan gum on physical, chemical and sensory properties of non-fat yogurt. Physical and chemical properties were tested using randomized block design whereas the yogurts properties during 21 days of cold storage included syneresis index and organoleptic. There were 6 treatments : A (full fat yogurt = control 1); B (skim milk + skim milk powder (SMP) 3% = control 2); C (skim milk + SMP 3% + WPC 1%); D (skim milk + SMP 3% + WPC 1,25%); E (skim milk + SMP 3% + WPC 0,5% + xanthan 0,005%); F (skim milk + SMP 3% + WPC 0,5% + xanthan 0,004%). The fat content 0,12%-0,14% of non-fat yogurt with the addition of WPC and blend of WPC-xanthan could increased firmness, cohesiveness and consistency compared to control 1 and control 2. In the organoleptic properties, non-fat yogurt with the addition of WPC and blend of WPC-xanthan were gained color, flavor, aroma, and consistency of the panelists preferred higher than control yogurt. Non-fat yogurt with only addition of WPC gained the lowest syneresis index. ABSTRAKYogurt tanpa lemak memiliki kekuatan struktur yang rendah dan rentan terjadi pemisahan whey karena berkurangnya kandungan lemak. Pemisahan whey pada yogurt tidak disukai oleh konsumen. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi efek penambahan whey protein concentrate (WPC) dan gum xanthan terhadap karakteristik fisik, kimia sensori yogurt tanpa lemak. Karakteristik fisik dan kimia diuji menggunakan metode RAK, sedangkan karakteristik yogurt selama penyimpanan dingin 21 hari meliputi indeks sineresis dan organoleptik. Terdapat 6 perlakuan yaitu: A (susu segar = kontrol 1); B (susu skim + skim milk powder (SMP) 3% = kontrol 2); C (susu skim + SMP 3% + WPC 1%); D (susu skim + SMP 3% + WPC 1,25%); E (susu skim + SMP 3% + WPC 0,5% + gum xanthan 0,005%); F (susu skim + SMP 3% + WPC 0,5% + gum xanthan 0,004%). Kandungan lemak 0,12%-0,14% pada yogurt tanpa lemak dengan penambahan WPC dan kombinasi WPC-gum xanthan dapat meningkatkan firmness, cohesiveness, dan konsistensi dibandingkan kontrol 1 dan kontrol 2. Secara organoleptik, yogurt tanpa lemak dengan penambahan WPC dan kombinasi WPC-gum xanthan mendapatkan tingkat kesukaan panelis lebih tinggi untuk warna, rasa, aroma, dan kekentalan dibandingkan yogurt lemak utuh tanpa perlakuan. Yogurt tanpa lemak dengan penambahan WPC saja mendapatkan indeks sineresis lebih rendah dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya.

Nutrient management becomes essential in soils with low natural fertility, so the use of organic fertilizers can improve chemical properties of soil and reduce production costs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different fertilization sources on the chemical properties of soil under cassava cultivation. The experiment was conducted between 2017/2018 in the community of Boa Esperan&ccedil;a, Santar&eacute;m-PA using the cultivar Bem-te-vi, in the randomized block design with 4 treatments: T1 (without fertilization), T2 (fertilization NPK), T3 (organic fertilization with poultry manure), T4 (fertilization with cattle manure), with 5 replicates. The soil samples were analyzed for the contents K+, Ca&sup2;+, pH in H2O and KCl, Al&sup3;+ and soil organic carbon content (TOC). The data were submitted to analysis of variance and the means were compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability, using the software MINITAB&copy; version 18. There were statistical differences between the treatments for all the chemical properties analyzed. The findings of the analysis were that fertilization with catle manure and NPK were the same and differed from the other treatments for the contents of K+, pH in H2O and KCl, for Ca&sup2;+ and TOC. The treatment without fertilization obtained the lowest values differing from the others, for Al&sup3;+. The source from NPK obtained the lowest content in the soil. The treatments with organic fertilizers had higher levels of the above nutrients in the soil. The chemical properties of the soil were altered from the different management systems for the cultivation of cassava.

An experiment was conducted on farmer’s field in Khajura, Banke for site specific nutrient management (SSNM) in hybrid maize (Rajkumar) during winter season of 2016. The climatic condition of the experimental location was humid sub-tropical and sandy loam soil occurring intense summer and severe winter. Average annual rainfall of 1000 -1500 mm occurs in the location. The experiment was replicated 4 times in Randomized complete block design having plot size of 4.8 x 3 m2. Row to row spacing was maintained at 60 cm and plant to plant at 25 cm for each plot. There were six treatments including farmers fertilization practice (27.6:27.6:18 NP2O5K2O kgha-1) as a check, recommended dose of fertilizer (160:60:40 NP2O5K2O kgha-1), site specific nutrient management (212.9:66.8:280.8 NP2O5K2O kgha-1), 75% SSNM (372.6:116.9:491.4 NP2O5K2O kgha-1), FP-N, FP-P, SSNM-K (27.6:27.6:280.8 NP2O5K2O kgha-1) and SSNM-N, FP-P, FP-K (212.9:27.6:27.6 NP2O5K2O kgha-1). Among the treatment combination; application of SSNM we can increase the yield by 193% over farmer fertilization practice. Recommended dose of fertilizer and 75 percent SSNM also increase the yield by 138% and 130.4% respectively compared to farmer fertilization practice. 88% and 53.5% more increment could also be obtained through the application of only SSNM dose of nitrogen and SSNM dose of potassium respectively over farmer fertilization practice.
