Analysis of Plant Growth and Pest Incidence of Pakchoy Plants (Brassica rapa L.) Using the Wick System Hydroponics Through the Utilization of Catfish Waste

2024-08-11T06:27:59+00:00

This study aimed to determine the effect of catfish wastewater as a source of nutrients in the hydroponic wick system cultivation model on the growth of pak choy mustard plants, which include: plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, pest and disease attacks, and plant yields. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a Non-Factorial Randomized Block Design. This method used 6 treatments, namely (P0) 800 ml of water, (P1) 800 ml of water + AB Mix nutrients (A 5 ml + B 5 ml), (P2) 600 ml of water + 200 ml of catfish wastewater, (P3) 400 ml of water + 400 ml of catfish wastewater, (P4) 200 ml of water + 600 ml of catfish wastewater, (P5) 800 ml of catfish wastewater and repeated 3 times. The results showed that the treatment of 800 ml of catfish wastewater (P5) increased plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and weight of pakcoy plants in hydroponic wick system compared to the treatment of 800 ml of water (P0). Meanwhile, the attack of whitefly pests on pakchoy plants was found to be higher in all treatments of catfish wastewater as a source of nutrients in hydroponic wick system compared to the treatment of 800 ml of water + AB Mix nutrients (P1).

The Influence of Free Wi-Fi And Music on Consumer Satisfaction in Coffee Shops Around Garuda Streat, Tambakrejo, Jombang

This research aims to determine the influence of free Wi-Fi and music on consumer satisfaction. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive method. The data collection instrument used a questionnaire given to 90 respondents. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 22 software. The independent variables of this research were free Wi-Fi and music, while the dependent variable was consumer satisfaction in coffee shops around Garuda Streat, Tambakrejo, Jombang. Results all statements are valid, reliable and pass the classical assumption test. Based on the results of the tests carried out, the variables free Wi-Fi and music have a partial positive effect on consumer satisfaction with regression coefficient values of 0.588 and 0.160 respectively. The free Wi-Fi variable has a significant effect on consumer satisfaction with a Sig value. 0.006 < 0.05 or t count 2.381 > t table 1.988. Meanwhile, the music variable has no significant effect on consumer satisfaction with the Sig value. 0.110 > 0.05 or calculated t value 1.617 < t table 1.988. The free Wi-Fi variable and the music variable simultaneously have a significant effect on the consumer satisfaction variable, because the Sig. value is 0.000 < 0.05 or the calculated F value is 10.753 > F table 3.100. According to the R Square value, it can be concluded that from the 100% figure, 19.8% of the free Wi-Fi and music variables simultaneously / together influence the consumer satisfaction variable, while the remaining 80.2% is influenced by other variables outside the model.

Effect of Giving Organic Fertilizer from Coffee Skin Waste With Soil and Bokashi on the Growth of Red Chilli

2024-08-22T02:56:12+00:00

Organic fertilizer is natural fertilizer that can be obtained directly from nature, for example natural phosphate, manure, green manure and compost. Organic fertilizer can be said to be natural fertilizer because it is the result of the decomposition process of living material, such as plant, animal or other by-products. This research aims to determine the effect of using organic fertilizer, mixed with coffee skin waste, on the growth of chili stems and also the number of leaves on chili plants. The research method used in this research is quantitative descriptive research using the RAL (Completely Randomized Design) method on the growth of red chili plants. The results of this research show that there are significant changes in chili plants that use organic fertilizer mixed with coffee skin waste, and in chili plants without fertilizer. The results of variance testing showed Fhit 15 and 20 in plant height growth, while for number of leaves Fhit was 560992 and 63438 in a period of 10 days.

Effectiveness Of Using Liquid Smoke For Pest Control On Mustard Greens

2024-08-26T03:53:44+00:00

Pest control in mustard greens cultivation is a crucial aspect of increasing agricultural productivity. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of liquid smoke as a natural pest control agent against pests such as the armyworm (Spodoptera litura), loopers (Plusia spp.), aphids (Aphidoidea), and grasshoppers (Caelifera). The research method used was observation of the presence of pests that appeared during the growth of mustard greens with various concentrations of liquid smoke applied to the plants. Observations were made on pest populations, plant damage, and plant growth throughout the study. The research data were analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that liquid smoke effectively reduced pest populations and the level of damage to mustard greens significantly. Higher concentrations of liquid smoke provided better results in pest control without negative effects on plant growth. The results of the 24-day study identified a total of 22 pest organisms on the control mustard green plants. The conclusion of this study is that liquid smoke is an effective and sustainable alternative for pest control in mustard greens. The use of liquid smoke can support safer and more sustainable agricultural practices

Analysis of Shelf Power of Snake Fruit Varieties at Room Temperature

2024-09-03T01:30:55+00:00

Snake fruit is a horticultural plant that has many enthusiasts and cultivators in Indonesia. There are many varieties and post-harvest storage methods for snake fruit. This research used 3 varieties of snake fruit, namely pondoh snake fruit, bali snake fruit, and keras snake fruit, which were stored at room temperature. The research method uses descriptive analysis to draw conclusions regarding important points in the research. This research shows that when storing 3 varieties of snake fruit at room temperature, the condition of the snake fruit skin has a big impact on shelf life, because thicker snake fruit skin is more susceptible to physical damage and fungal or bacterial infections. The results of this research bali snake fruit show that it has the longest shelf life at room temperature, around 12 days until spoilage, pondoh snake fruit 9 days, and keras snake fruit 6 days. This is because bali snake fruit has thicker skin than the other two snake fruit.
