Effect of Beneficial Soil Microbes on Growth and Yield of Celery in Volcanic Soil of West Java

Abstract

Soil beneficial microbes have a critical role in plant growth. Inoculating biofertilizer is suppose essential for supporting the plant performance and hence plant yield. The objective of field experiment was to verify the growth and production of celery (Apium graveolens L.) after biofertilizers application. The experiment had been performed in a plastic house in the mountainous area of tropical volcanic soil of West Java, Indonesia. The field trial was carried out in a Completely Randomized Block Design to test two microbial-coated urea formulas and a mixed biofertilizer. The control treatment was Nitrogen-Phosphorous-Potassium (NPK) compound fertilizer. All treatments were replicated three times. The celery was growing in low Nitrogen but high Phosphor and Potassium soil during the dry season. The field trial verified that plant height and biomass as well as yield of celery didn’t depend on fertilizer treatments. Nonetheless, this trial founded that both microbial-coated urea and mixed biofertilizer can replace the NPK fertilizer to produce a same yield of celery.

Genetic relationships between populations of Aegilops tauschii Coss. (Poaceae) using SCoT molecular markers

“…Genetic diversity when analysed by neutral markers does not correspond to the adaptive ability of plant populations, but these types of markers are very useful for the interpretation of the past landscapes, refugia and gene flow (Brandvain et al, 2014). That is, why the selected genes or markers of active parts of plant genomes are used to interprete the plant genome response to the changes to the local climate and environment (Hoffman & Willi 2008;Hindersah et al 2021;Jordaan & Rooyen et al 2021;Lucena et al 2021;Mieso & Befa et al 2020). Molecular-based population genetic data are very useful for determining the ecological and habitat events in the past and for detection of patterns of the recent genetic divergence.…”

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA profiling in detecting genetic variation in Malva L. species: edible and medicinal plants

“…Advent and developments in molecular techniques have enabled plant taxonomists to utilize molecular protocols to study plant groups (Erbano et al 2015;Abeshu & Zewdu 2020.;Amar et al 2021;Beltran et al 2021). We examined genetic diversity in Malva by morphological and molecular methods (Das et al 2021;Gutierrez-Pacheco et al 2021;Hindersah et al 2021;Jordaan & Rooyen et al 2021). We mainly used RAPD markers to investigate genetic diversity and genetic affinity in Malva.…”
