“…The ratio of plant leaf area to leaf dry weight (SLA), the amount of leaf area produced per unit of biomass (LAR), and the number of photosynthetic organs of the plant (LWR), can be used to measure plant adaptation to light. In lowlight environments, the SLA, LAR, and LWR values tend to increase (Neufeldt et al, 2000;Sasaerila et al, 2021;Wyka et al, 2012). In this study, these three values did not differ significantly between C. indica grown in RC agroforestry systems and those grown in CM systems (open areas), indicating that C. indica could grow well in the shade of mature rubber trees.…”

Agroforestry combines trees and crops for sustainable benefits. We explore rubber and canna integration into agroforestry, emphasizing sustainability, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. This study assesses C. indica's viability beneath 7-8-year-old rubber plantations, examining its impact on soil, microbial communities, and latex production. The research site in Subang, Indonesia, features, at the beginning, six-year-old rubber trees with variations in sunlight under canopies. Wild C. indica rhizomes from Mid Java are planted beneath rubber trees and open ground. No significant difference was found in plant height, rhizome weight, leaf area, number of leaves, r/s ratio, SLA, LWR, and LAR between C. indica cultivated beneath rubber trees (RC agroforestry) and on open ground. Although not significant, RC soil had higher N, P, K, and organic C levels than rubber monoculture (RM) soil two years after adopting the rubber-canna agroforestry system. After six years, RC soil had a greater pH, C, N, P, and K, clay and silt content, and Shannon E index than RM soil. Analysis of soil metagenomics showed the phylum Proteobacteria dominates and enhances soil fertility, particularly in RC soils. These results increase latex output at the RC site over the RM location. In conclusion, the Rubber-Canna agroforestry system enhances sustainability, soil fertility, and crop yield, addressing food security and environmental concerns. The primary novelty of this six-year study lies in the integration of C. indica into Southeast Asia's rubber agroforestry systems, highlighting its unique characteristics such as low-light survival, which can contribute to food security and soil protection.

This article reviews investigations in which Canna indica was utilized in constructed wetlands (CW) for wastewater treatment of a variety types. It is strongly urged that ornamental flowering plants be used in CWs as monoculture or mixed species to improve the appearance of CWs whilst still treating wastewater. Plants play important roles in CWs by giving the conditions for physical filtration of wastewater, a large specific surface area for microbial growth, and a source of carbohydrates for bacteria. They absorb nutrients and integrate them into plant tissues. They release oxygen into the substrate, establishing a zone in which aerobic microorganisms can thrive and chemical oxidation can occur. They also provide wildlife habitat and make wastewater treatment system more visually attractive. The selection of plant species for CW is an important aspect during the CW design process. Canna indica’s effectiveness in CWs has shown encouraging results for eliminating contaminants from wastewater. There is still a scarcity of information on the mechanisms involved in removal of specific contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, hormones, pesticides and steroids and their potential toxicity to the plants. Therefore, this paper reviews some published information about the performance of Canna indica in wastewater treatment, as well as potential areas for future research.

Climate change threats to food security, because it decreases agricultural productivity. C. indica L can adapt to environment and produce white and red rhizomes. Dominant content both of rhizomes are carbohydrates which increase protein as nutrition by adding S platensis. The research aims to determine potential of composite flour of C. indica L and S. platensis as alternative healthy foodstuff for food security. The method consists of formulation composite flour, proximate tests, determining amino and fatty acids, in vitro growth tests of Lactobacillus, cookies and meatball formulations. The result showed composite flour from red rhizome (RRCS) contains 11% water, 21.745% protein, 0.5% lipid, 9.99% dietary fiber, 57.81% carbohydrates, and 8.94% ash. While white rhizome (WRCS) contains, 8.75% water, 17.41 protein, 0.29% lipid, 9.54% dietary fiber, 67.601% carbohydrates and 5.94% ash. Amino and fatty acid appears in both composite flours were similar, except proline and oleic acid higher in RRCS. Lignoceric founded only in WRCS. In vitro test showed Lactobacillus (BAL) grew on modified MRSA from RRCS and WRCS. Both of composite flour processed into marketable cookies and meatballs formulations. Based on the result, C. indica L and S. platensis composite flour can be used as alternative food for food security.
