Growth and Development of Potted Ornamental Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) with Different Types of Fertilizer and Growing Media

Chilli has great potential to be marketed as ornamental potted plants due to their diversity in colours and shape of the fruits. The purpose of this research was to determine the optimum growing media and types of fertilizer to improve the performance of three varieties of potted ornamental chilli, ”Syakira”, “Lembayung”, and “Ayesha”. This research was conducted in Cikabayan greenhouse, Bogor Agricultural University, from December 2016 until May 2017. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with fertilizer as the main factor (without fertilizer, P0; AB mix; P1, and NPK + Gandasil D, P2) and growing media as sub plots, i.e. charcoal husk : soil : manure (M1), perlite: soil : manure (M1), and cocopeat : soil: manure (M3) with proportion of 2:1:1 (v/v). NPK fertilizer and foliar fertilizer Gandasil D showed the maximum plant height, number of branches, number of flowers and fruits. “Ayesha” treated with AB mix fertilizer had the largest fruit diameter whereas “Syakira” and “Ayesha” had the longest fruit under the same treatment. Ornamental chilli grown on charcoal husk and cocopeat had the maximum number of branches and flowers per plant. “Syakira” grown on charcoal husk with AB mix and NPK + Gandasil D, “Lembayung” using cocopeat with AB mix fertilizer, and “Ayesha” varieties using charcoal husk with AB mix fertilizer were the most preferred by the consumers.

Mountain microorganism (MM) merupakan kumpulan dari berbagai mikrobe menguntungkan yang ditemukan pada tanah yang masih virgin pada serasah yang ada di pegunungan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui efikasi MM sebagai bioactivator, biofermented, dan biopestisida untuk meningkatkan hasil cabai dengan menggunakan teknologi LEISA. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Ciamis, Jawa Barat mulai bulan Mei sampai dengan bulan Desember 2016. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Petak terpisah dengan empat ulangan. Faktor utama adalah pengelolaan hara (a = kompos + EM4) dan (a = kompos + MM + BF) 12. Subplot adalah dosis NPK (b = 1.000 kg/ha NPKdan b = 625 kg/ha NPK), dan sub-subplot adalah cara pengendalian OPT (c1= 12 konvensional dan c2 = biopestisida MM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian MM pada kompos dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan (tinggi dan lebar kanopi) tanaman cabai sebesar 2 – 8 cm, dapat meningkatkan jumlah buah, jumlah bunga, jumlah cabang, dan bobot buah serta mampu meningkatkan produktivitas cabai sebesar 7,20% hingga 12,5%. Pemberian kompos + MM dapat memperbaiki kesuburan kimia, sifat fisiko-kimia dan biologi tanah sehingga lebih sesuai untuk budidaya tanaman cabai merah. Pengurangan pupuk NPK sebanyak 37,5% tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap peningkatan produktivitas cabai merah dan komponen hasil lainnya. Penggunaan MM sebagai biopestisida dapat menghambat perkembangan OPT dengan efikasi setara dengan penggunaan insektisida sintetik.KeywordsMikroorganisme pegunungan (MM); Pupuk kimia;, Biopestisida; Cabai; LEISAAbstractMountain microorganism (MM) is a collection of various beneficial microorganism that was found in virgin soils or forest decomposing organic matter, used in the preparation of bokashi, bioferments, and biopesticides. The objective of this experiment found the efficacy of MM as bioactivator, bioferments, and biopesticide to increase the yield of chili pepper under LEISA technology. The experiment was conducted in Ciamis, West Java from May to December 2016. The experiment arranged in a split-plot design with four applications. Main plot was nutrient management (a1 = compost + EM4) and (a2 = compost + MM + BF). Subplot were dose of NPK (b1 = 1,000 kg/ha of NPK, b2 = 625 kg/ha of NPK), and sub-subplot were control of pest and diseases (c1= conventional and c2 = biopesticide). Result of this experiment showed that the used of MM on compost can increase growth (height and width of the canopy) pepper plants of 2-8 cm, the amount of fruit, flower number, number of branches and fruit weight and increase production chili at 7.20% until 12. 15%. The use of compost + MM can improve the fertility of chemical, physicochemical properties, and biological soil, making it more suitable for the cultivation of chili pepper. Reduction of NPK fertilizer as much as 37.5% do not provide an effect on productivity improvement and the other components of yield. Efficacy of MM as biopesticide similar to synthetic pesticide and could reduce plant damage due to pest and diseases.

Study phytoremediation of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) by kayambang plants (Salvinia molesta) has been studied. This study assessed the ability of plants to absorb Pb and Cd which is influenced by the addition of various metal and NPK fertilizer on the medium containing the test solution. Samples of plants were interacted with NPK fertilizer, Pb and Cd. The variations of NPK 1 mg/L, I,5 mg/L, 2,5 mg/L and 10 mg/L and the variations of Pb (100 mg/L, 400 mg/L and 800 mg/L) and cadmium (50 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 200 mg/L). Optimum pH for growing the Kayambang plants (Salvinia molesta) is a range pH of 6-7. Observations were made every 7 days until the day of 35th, by measuring levels of Cd and Pb after the interaction of plants (roots, non-roots and growing media). The results showed that the Pb and Cd accumulation are higher at the root compared to non-root (stem and leaf). Effect of NPK fertilizer is very evident in the heavy plant where increasing levels of NPK fertilizer plant, the more heavy weight. The average value of FT in kayambang plants (Salvinia molesta)>1, then the plant can be used as a phytoremediator agent. The highest value FT of Pb is 11.22 and shown on condition [NPK] 10 mg/L, [Pb] 100 mg/L at day of 21th and for highest value FT of Cd is 9.57 and shown on condition [NPK] 10 mg/L, [Cd] 100 mg/L and day of 35th

Main Factor

Tension tests on three different types of T700/EXOPY unidirectional laminates single-lap adhesive joints under uniaxial tensile loading were performed and effect of adherend thickness and spew fillets on strength of single-lap adhesive joints were analyzed in this paper. According to the experimental results, it is found that joint strength was not linear with the adherend thickness and much affected by spew fillets in overlap ends. At the same time, finite element simulations are carried out to analyze the peel/shear stress fields along joint interfaces and the intermediate layer of adhesive. The simulation results show that it is the main factor to leading to joint failure that the maximum peel/shear stress is occurred at overlap area edges and peel/shear stress of joints with spew fillet at the overlap area edges is less than that of joints with no spew fillet. Good agreements between the present simulations and the experimental results are found.

The growth and development of field horsetail (Equisetum arvenseL. # EQUAR) was measured outdoors using potted plants grown from one-node rhizome fragments. Shoot growth rate increased slowly after planting in March, accelerating to a maximum during July with maximas for shoot height during August and shoot number in September. Rhizome system growth rates initially followed a similar pattern to that of the shoots achieving a maximum during July. Dry matter accumulated in the rhizomes until October and declined thereafter throughout the winter. Tubers initiated during August grew in size and number until November, well beyond the period of active shoot growth and onset of senescence. The characteristics of the growth and development of field horsetail are discussed in relation to achieving weed control via cultural and herbicide treatments.
