Ralstonia solanacearum has been known to cause bacterial wilt disease on chili pepper. Despite many reports on the potential use of endophytic fungi to induce plant resistance, its utilization to suppress bacterial wilt disease of chili has not been widely reported. The aims of this research was to screen potential endophytic fungi that may increase chili resistance against bacterial wilt disease. Selection of endophytic fungi was done using in vivo and antibiosis test. Strains of fungi were considered the most potent in suppressing the development of bacterial wilt in chilli were identified. Ten out of 62 isolates of endophytic fungi gave the highest suppression on chilli’s bacterial wilt disease. Most strains of endophytic fungi were able to suppress the development of bacterial wilt disease, but not always positively correlated to the vegetative and generative growth of chilli. Based on the level of disease intensity and the growth of plants were obtained three strains of endophytic fungi that considered potentially suppress the incidence of bacterial wilt disease. The three isolates was identified as Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli (AC-2.13 and AC-4.4) and Trichoderma asperellum (AC-3.18) using morphology and molecular characters. Although all three selected isolates were able to suppress bacterial wilt disease in this study, but application of F. solani f.sp. phaseoli should be considered in practical use since it is generally known as the causal agent of root rot disease of beans
The study aims to determine the effect of applying for intercropping food crops (rice, corn, and soybeans = jagole) on the cropping index and income of urban farming community activists. This study was conducted by comparing the use of six models of growing food crops, namely three kinds of monoculture model of jagole, upland rice-soybean, sweet corn-soybean, and sweet corn-upland rice polyculture/ “Turiman”. Observational data includes data on land characteristics, annual cropping patterns in related locations, and input-output data of the test models. Corn and soybeans are harvested young. Data were processed using descriptive analysis and the economic feasibility analysis of the tested technology was based on the R/C ratio. Based on data, it is known that there is potential to increase the cropping index of dry or limited land in the Jakarta area, from 1-2 to 2-3 a year by optimizing planting through intercropping systems/ food crop Turiman. such as corn-upland rice-soybean. The results of the analysis showed that the soybean monoculture technology model, with yields of young soybeans, gave a higher profit (R/C 2.58), compared to the other models, namely sweet corn monoculture, upland rice monoculture, upland rice-sweet corn polyculture, soybean-sweet corn polyculture, soybean-upland rice polyculture, and (R/C respectively: 0.24, 0.54, 0.17, 1.25, and 1.71).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
