Lettuce, Lactuca sativa L. ‘Summer Bibb’ and tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. ‘Westover’ were grown 4 weeks in plastic market packs (MP) in 3 experimental media and a commercially available (Maryland Mix) control. The experimental media were prepared by combining equal parts, by volume of: 1) screened composted sewage sludge (CSS) (made from lime dewatered ferric chloride treated sewage sludge and wood chips), peat moss (PM), and perlite (PL) (CSS-PM-PL); 2) CSS, PM, and vermiculite (VL) (CSS-PM-VL); and 3) CSS-PL-VL. A commercially prepared medium, Maryland mix consisting of silt loam, peat, perlite, and vermiculite (1:2:1:1 by vol) was used as a control. The market packs containing 6 transplants each, were arranged in a completely randomized design and replicated 4 times. One set of seedlings were grown in Maryland mix and CSS-PM-PL and fertilized at the end of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd week after transplanting with a commerical 20N-8.6P-16.6K (20-20-20) fertilizer. Another set of seedlings were grown for 4 weeks in the control mix and 3 experimental media and fertilized at 1st and 3rd week after transplanting with only N fertilizer. For both lettuce and tomato plants, only 270 mg of N per MP per growing period produced marketable size transplants when grown in the CSS-PM-VL medium. These seedlings had no toxic levels of Zn, Cd, Pb, and Ni and contained adequate N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, and Cu as compared to plants grown in the control medium.

Six species of vegetable transplants were grown in market packs filled with peat moss, perlite and screened sewage sludge compost (equal parts by vol.). Compost was made from lime-dewatered sludge and woodchips. Seedlings were fertilized at 1, 2, 3 and 4 wks after transplanting in single, split and multiple applications of varying levels of N and K in factorial combinations. Fertilizer applications could be delayed 1 to 2 wks after transplanting without a loss of top growth. Lettuce, broccoli and cabbage plants were grown to marketable size with only N fertilizer. However, eggplants, tomato and pepper plants grew best when fertilized with both N and K. Acceptable levels of P, Ca, Mg, Md, Zn and Fe, as measured in tissues, were provided by the growth medium and tissue Cd levels wete within acceptable limits.

Six vegetable species, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, eggplant, pepper, and tomato plants were grown for 8 wks on a medium of composted sewage sludge (compost), perlite, and peat (equal parts by volume). P, Ca, and Mg were adequate for the growing period, but accumulation of N and K did not increase after the 6th wk after transplanting. Cabbage and broccoli accumulated greater amounts of N and K from the medium and could be successfully grown in the medium without supplemental fertilization. Zn and Cd, potentially hazardous heavy metals present in compost, did not reach excessive levels for either plant nutrition or human consumption.

The Wilt in tomato plants is caused by Fusarium oxysporum sp. Lycopersici. Fusarium oxysporum is soil borne which causes considerable losses. FMA as a biological agent provides an alternative opportunity to control root diseases such as fusarium. The purpose of this study was to study the treatment of FMA inoculation which is appropriate while controlling the damage of tomato plants caused by fusarium. The research design used was the experimental method in Completely Randomized Design. The results showed that the treatment of mycorrhizae inoculated one week before planting and continued with fusarium inoculation at the time of planting showed good results in inducing the resistance of tomato plants to fusarium disease. This is evidenced by root colonization in tomato plants by 53% and the average intensity of attacks by 3.14%. The mycorrhizal treatment inoculated one week before planting and followed by fusarium inoculation at planting also showed good results in increasing the growth of tomato plants compared to other treatments applied by mycorrhiza.

A completely randomized design with six replicates of 30 birds per experimental unit was used to evaluate the effect of five fat sources of diets (soybean oil, poultry fat, acidulated soybean oil soapstock and a mix of soybean oil plus poultry fat and soybean oil plus acidulated soybean oil soapstock) on the performance of male Ross broilers, during the growing period (1-45 days of age). The diets for each phase were isonutritional. Broilers fed on soybean oil showed higher weight gain in comparison to the birds fed on diets containing acidulated soybean oil soapstock (P<0.05), but no differences were observed among the other treatments. The feed intake of birds fed on soybean oil was higher compared to the birds fed on acidulated soybean soapstock diet and mix of soybean oil plus acidulated soybean oil soapstock diet. No treatment effect was observed for feed:weight gain ratio and viability. Soybean oil diet resulted in better broiler performance in comparison to acidulated soybean oil soapstock diet.

Background: The beneficial elements availability such as silicon was determined rice growth and yield. Rice requires a different dose of silicon during the growing period. Experiment was aimed to investigate the effect of silicate levels, rice varieties and the interaction of the two on the growth and yields of two local Indonesian varieties of rice. Methods: A completely randomized design of factorial pattern with 4 replications was used in the experiment. Treatments consisted of No added SiO2 (Si-0); added 100 and 200 kg SiO2 ha-1, respectively for Si-100 and Si-200 and two local rice varieties, Pandan wangi (P1) and Mentik susu (P2). Result: The treatment had no significant effect on growth and yield of rice. Addition of 100 and 200 kg SiO2 ha-1 to P1 and P2 did not show a significant difference on the growth and yield of rice compared to control (P0). Plant height and root dry weight at P1 was lower than P2, but the 1,000-grain weight was showed, vice versa. Silicon addition up to 200 kg SiO2 ha-1 may not be recommended to be applied in rice cultivation, especially Pandan wangi and Mentik susu varieties. Improving the two varieties, further research is needed by increasing the silicon doses.

Cultivation of tomato plants (Lycopesicum esculentum Mill.) Is often exposed to plant diseases. One of the diseases that often attacks tomato plants is bacterial wilt disease caused by R. solanacearum. Therefore, it is necessary to have biological control with the application of an antagonistic agent, namely the provision of endophytic fungi from dayak onion flowers. This study aims to determine the types of endophytic fungi in dayak onion flowers and to determine the potential of endophytic fungi in suppressing the growth of R. solanacearum. This research was conducted from February to May 2020, taking samples of dayak onion flowers in the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Agriculture and samples of symptomatic tomato plants on the Karang Anyar Farmer Group's land then continued with isolation, purification, identification, and antagonistic testing at the Production Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarbaru. The method used in this study was a one-factor completely randomized design (CRD) with nine treatments, namely C1 = endophytic fungi A + R. solanacearum, C2 = endophytic fungi B + R. solanacearum, C3 = endophytic fungi F + R. solanacearum, C4 = endophytic fungi G + R. solanacearum, C5 = endophytic fungi I + R. solanacearum, C6 = endophytic fungi J + R. solanacearum, C7 = endophytic fungi K + R. solanacearum, C8 = fungi endophytic N + R. solanacearum, and C9 = endophytic fungi P + R. solanacearum and repeated three times. This study used a comparison, namely control with three replications, in order to obtain 30 experimental units. The results of this study that endophytic fungi from dayak onion flowers have the potential to suppress the growth of R. solanacearum. Based on the research, there were 17 endophytic fungi from dayak onion flowers with nine endophytic fungi which had the fastest growth rate of radius. Fungi with the genus Colletotrichum sp., Mucor sp., and Papulaspora sp. has the potential to suppress the growth of R. solanacearum with moderate to strong percentage of inhibition.

Tomato has an important role to fullfil the nutrition of society. The most important problem in the cultivation of tomatoes is fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum it will attacking the plants from nursery to adult. One of the alternative control is use the Vesicles Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM). The success of VAM infection in plants is determined by the dose and the inoculation. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of dose and mixture VAM inoculation to against the emergence of fusarium wilt in tomato plants and to determine the dosage mixture VAM inoculation as the most effective way for controlling fusarium wilt in tomato plants. The method of this research used experimental with completely randomized design. The experimental treatment consists of two types of treatment that are combined with used 5 doses of VAM mixture (0 g/plant, 10 g/plant, 12,5 g/plant, 15 g/plant, 17,5 g/plant) and used two ways of inoculation ( inoculation when the seed is planted and inoculation when transplanting the seeds). Each treatment was repeated 3 times and each test are three plants. The parameters was observed the incubation period of the disease and the intensity of fusarium wilt as the main parameter and the measurement of pH, temperature, humidity room, and the degree of infection as supporting parameters. The results of this research showed that the dosage and inoculation of VAM mixture is not able to reduce the emergence of fusarium wilt on tomatoes, but it was able to extend the incubation period of fusarium wilt on tomato plants a dose with 10 g /plant inoculated plants when the seeds are planted and inoculation when transplanting the seeds.

Activated Sewage Sludge

The effect of dried activated sewage sludge on the growth and protein utilization of broiler was studied. The eight weeks feeding trial involving one hundred and eighty day-old broiler chicks, weighting 57.80 – 58.00g in a completely randomized design were fed three diets containing 0% (control), 10% and 15% dried activated sewage sludge. The dried activated sewage sludge was found to be high in protein and ash (24.24% and 41.80%) but low in either extract and fibre (3.0% and 3.50%) respectively. At the 10% level of inclusion in the diet, the activiated sewage sludge gave significantly (P < 0.05) better weight gains than the control and 15% levels of inclusion. The feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratios were also significantly (P < 0.05) better at 10% inclusion when compared with the control and 15% levels of inclusion. There was no incidence of enteritis and percentage mortality was statistically insignificant at 5% level.
