“…Application of GA3 could increase carbohydrate content and dry matter content due to higher photosynthesis rate and increase cell division and elongation, resulting in larger fruits (Saima et al, 2014). According to Paunovic et al (2020) and Iwuagwu et al (2020), mulching improved soil temperature, reduced weed infestation, and increased soil moisture, all of which improved plant development and fruit yield. Mulch could improve the photosynthetic capacity of the leaves in addition to the role of polyethylene in enhancing root growth, as well as the absorption of water and nutrients, respectively, thus improving the metabolic activities within the plant during the period of growth and the reproductive process.…”

One of the most important factors in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) cv. Festival production for achieving higher yields is the availability of strawberries with better quality. The experiment was carried out during the period from November 2020 to March 2021 to find out the responses of gibberellic acid (GA3) and mulch materials on biochemical and quality attributes related to strawberry yield characteristics. The experiment consisted of two treatments including different mulch materials: black polythene, white polythene, sawdust, and control (no mulch); and GA3 (0 and 200 mg/L) were studied. Various quality parameters, namely total soluble solids (TSS), pH, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, total sugar, phenolic, and anthocyanin content of the strawberries were determined. The results observed in the GA3-treated plants showed more significant results than the plants not treated with GA3. Among the mulch materials, sawdust performed better than the other mulch materials in terms of yield, biochemical, and quality attributes. The highest fruit set percentage (89) and fruit yield (18.70 t/ha) were obtained from the GA3 and sawdust mulch treatments. GA3 and sawdust mulch performed best in terms of quality parameters including TSS, pH, ascorbic acid, total sugar, phenolic, and anthocyanin content. Accordingly, sawdust and GA3 are more responsive to strawberry plant quality parameters. These findings provide practical insights for sustainable strawberry cultivation practices, contributing to increased fruit availability and improved nutritional value for consumers.

Provinsi Lampung merupakan sentra produksi lada hitam Indonesia. Upaya penanaman baru dan rehabilitasi kebun lada memerlukan penyediaan bahan stek yang bersumber dari pohon induk unggul dan sehat yaitu pohon induk lada sambung (Piper nigrum/Piper colubrinum) yang bersifat tahan terhadap penyakit busuk pangkal batang lada. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dosis pupuk NPK yang terbaik untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produksi setek pohon induk lada sambung. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan November 2020 – Maret 2021 yang bertempat di kebun lada sambung di Desa Air Kubangan, Air Naningan, Kabupaten Tanggamus. Propinsi Lampung. Penelitian ini disusun dalam Rancangan Acak Kelompok Lengkap dengan 6 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri dari pemberian pupuk pada lada sambung dengan dosis NPK (15:15:15) 0 g/pohon, 75 g/pohon, 150 g/pohon, 225 g/pohon, 300 g/pohon, dan lada non-sambung tanpa pupuk NPK. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian pupuk NPK pada pohon induk lada sambung berpengaruh nyata pada variabel pertambahan tinggi tanaman, jumlah cabang panjat, jumlah cabang buah, diameter cabang panjat, produksi setek pendek, dan produksi setek panjang. Pemberian pupuk NPK dengan dosis 228,9 g/tanaman dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan vegetatif pohon induk lada sambung dan menghasilkan produksi stek tertinggi yaitu 48 stek/pohon.

Black pepper plant is generally propagated vegetatively using cuttings. One of the problems in pepper breeding is the high mortality rate due to the transpiration rate. One of the efforts to reduce the rate of transpiration is by cutting leaves and by choosing the right composition of planting media. This study aimed to determine the effect of leaf cutting, planting medium composition, and the interaction between leaf cutting and planting medium composition on the growth of pepper cuttings. The research was conducted in a plastic house in Labuhan Dalam Village, Tanjung Seneng District, Bandar Lampung and at the Plant Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung, Gedong Meneng Bandar Lampung. from October 2020 to February 2021. The study was arranged in a factorial (5x3) with a completely randomized group design. The first factor was leaf cutting which consists of no cutting, ¼ cutting, ½ cutting, ¾ cutting, and full cutting. the second was the composition of the planting medium, which consists of sand + husk charcoal + manure, sand + manure, and husk charcoal + manure. The results showed that: (1) Treatment full cutting resulted in the fastest shoot emergence, lengthening of shoots, increasing number of leaves, and increasing shoots' fresh and dry weight; (2) the composition of the planting media did not affect the growth of pepper seedlings except for the length of the root of the book in the treatment of sand + husk charcoal + manure media; (3) there was no interaction between leaf cutting with different compositions of growing media Key words : Black pepper, leaf cutting, composition, growing media, and cutting
