Performance of Glomus clarum and Tithonia diversifolia compost in improving growth and yield of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill)

The effect of the systemic insecticide phorate on vegetative growth and yield of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) was studied in the greenhouse. Three dosages of phorate (1.5, 7.5, and 13.5 mg a.i./ 1.5 L pot) were applied along with a control (without insecticide application). The plants were harvested at 17, 32, 51, 69, and 90 days after tilling. Regression analysis did not show any significant effect of insecticide dosages in plant and root length. However, an overall negative effect of phorate was observed on leaf area, shoot and root dry weights, and fruit fresh weight. Based on multiple regression models, maximum leaf area was obtained with 6.7 mg a.i./pot and maximum shoot and root dry weights were obtained with no insecticide application and 0.1 mg a.i./pot, respectively. Higher fruit fresh weights were also obtained without phorate application. Dosages of phorate close to the lower range recommended for pest control in tomatoes (1 kg a.i./ha) favored the increase in leaf area in tomato plants, but this increase did not cause higher yields. Phorate was slight detrimental to shoot and root growth, what led to a smaller yield in the phorate treated plants.

The objective of the research was to study the effect of fertilizer types and decomposer on growth and yield of organic rice Field experiment was carried out in Cikarawang, Dramaga, Bogor from November 2011 to March 2012. The experiment used factorial-randomized complete block design with fertilizer combinations (15 ton chicken manure ha-1and 5 ton Tithonia diversifolia ha-1, 10 ton chicken manure ha-1 and 5 ton T. diversifolia ha-1, and 10 ton chicken manure ha-1 and 5 ton rice straw ha-1) as the first factor and decomposer application (using decomposer and without decomposer) as the second factor. Organic fertilizer types significantly affected root wet weight, nutrient content of P and K in leaves. Rice yields were not significantly different with fertilizer combinations 15 ton chicken manure ha-1 and 5 ton T. diversifolia ha-1, 10 ton chicken manure ha-1 and 5 ton T. diversifolia ha-1, and 10 ton chicken manure ha-1 and 5 ton rice straw ha-1, they were 2.28, 2.22, and 2.16 ton dry seed ha-1, respectively. Decomposer application significantly affected the number of tillers at 8 week afterplanting, leaf color at 5 weeks after planting, nutrient content of P in leaves and panicle length. Rice yield with decomposer application and without decomposer were 2.25 and 2.19 ton ha-1, respectively, and they were not different.Keywords: chicken manure, decomposer, organic rice, rice straw, Tithonia diversifolia

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a vegetable that belongs to the family Solanaceae. Seeing the potential in the domestic and overseas large enough, then the tomato business has a bright prospect. Tomatoes are needed by humans to meet their needs. This is due to the nutritional content of tomato fruit consisting of vitamins and minerals that are very useful for maintaining health and preventing disease, to improve the productivity of tomatoes is done by using fertilizers that Tithonia Bokashi fertilizer. This study aimed to evaluate the response of growth and yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) by giving Bokashi Tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia). This type of research is an experimental study. The study design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments given are dose bokashi Tithonia A = 0 g / polybag, B = Urea, C = 200 g / polybag, D = 400 g / polybag, E = 600 g / polybag, F = 800 g / polybag, parameters tomatoes observed is high, the amount of tomatoes and tomato weight. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and a further test DNMRT at 5% level. Based on the research results show that the tomato plant height, number of tomatoes and tomato fruit weight was significantly different from the provision of Bokashi Tithonia. Dose of 800g / polybag best in improving the response to the growth and production of tomatoes. Key word : Bokashi, Tithonia diversifolia, Solanum lycopersicum

Significant Difference

The Comparison of Growth and Yield Performance of (UC-82B & Local) Varieties of Tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) by Grafting, Mutation and Seasonal Variations was investigated with the aim of inducing variability that could be exploited in the improvement of some quality traits in Tomato plants. The seeds of two varieties of tomato: UC-82B and Local varieties were treated at three different concentrations of sodium azide (1.0mM, 1.5 mM, 2.0 mM and 0.0 mM as control). The results obtained revealed highly significant difference (P≤0.01) in the effects of sodium azide on survival rates, number of fruits, and fruit weight. Similarly, highly significant differences (P≤0.01) was found between the treatments in Survival rate, except on the number of fruits and fruit weight, where no significant differences exist. More so, significant differences were found in the traits between the seasons except in fruit number. The result shows that 1.0 mM concentration of Sodium Azide and grafting improves some important quality traits of tomato that could be utilized for further improvement of tomato crop. However, the response of variety UC to grafting was higher. Highly significant difference (P≤0.01) was found among the seasons in terms of fruit weight, and significant difference (P≤0.05) was found among the seasons on survival rate, while no significant difference was found among the seasons in terms of fruits number. More so, highly significant difference (P≤0.01) was found in the interaction of varieties with seasons on Survival rate and number of fruit tomato varieties except on fruit weight, where no significant difference was found.

Tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia) has been known as shrubs having potential as a green manure crop. Its growth exceeding legume in poor soil nutrients is strongly influenced by mycorhyzosphere. This study tried to use infected root of tithonia as innoculant of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.). The purpose of this research was to study the effect of a given amount of root of tithonia as AMF innoculants on the growth and yield of maize. The study was designed in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 replicates. The treatment used in this experiment was amount of innoculum consisting of 4 levels: without innoculum (0 g), 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of innoculum per pot. The results obtained showed that tithonia roots infected with AMF could be used as innoculum. It also caused plant height, dry weight of straw, and P- uptake by crops significantly increased. The use of 20 g of innoculum was the best treatment in this experiment which could increase the weight of dry maize straw to 69.67 g per pot which was significantly different from treatment without innoculation. At the same treatment was also found that the best nutrients (N, P, and K) uptake was determined on straw. Innoculation of AMF using tithonia roots affected the increase in frequency and intensity of infection and numbers of spores found in maize rhizosphere.Keywords: arbuscular-mycorrhiza, innoculation, maize, production, tithonia
