“…Noticeably, the highest number of leaves was recorded in the plants grown on soilless media M2 and M3, with 43.8 and 41.8 respectively and significantly different from the remaining media treatments Fig 5b . The comparatively high number of leaves recorded from M2 and M3 could have been due to their material composition and nutrient concentration. This is in agreement with the study conducted by Gonbad et al (2013) who reported that a medium containing vermiculite and perlite increases the number of plant leaves and growth traits. Plants with a high concentration of P as shown in M2 and M3 produce the maximum number of leaves, especially when perlite is combined with edaphic factors like optimum moisture content, favourable pH and aeration (Kim and Li, 2016;Salisu et al, 2013).…”

Background: Coconut coir dust (CD) is commonly used for growing selected fruit and vegetables. It is a soilless medium with excellent drainage and high-water holding capacity; free from infestations of weeds and pathogens. However, plant growth is adversely affected due to its high salinity, potassium and low pH. Methods: A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of different soilless media on rock melon’s growth, nutrient and fruit quality. Five soilless media were prepared including CD as control. A customised portable IoT system was deployed to monitor and collect relevant real-time agronomic data. Result: Plant height, yield, leaf area, total fresh fruit weight and soluble solids content (sweetness) of rock melon were significantly affected by the growing medium. Among the five media used, the growth and quality characteristics were highest in M2 followed by M3. It was found that a combination of burnt rice husk (BRH) and perlite with CD remarkably improved the growth of fruit quality of rock melon.

“…Many materials such as tea waste [10] banana waste [11], bean, corn, straws and coffee husk [12] have been used as substrates in mushroom cultivation. Tea is the second most popular nonalcoholic drink after the water, consumed extensively by the world's population [13]. This is true also for our country.…”

In this study, Pleurotus ostreatus was cultivated on tea (Camellia sinensis) and espresso wastes. Tea wastes were used in two forms; sterilized or non-sterilized. Then, total phenolic, flavonoid, condensed tannin contents, ferric reducing/antioxidant capacity (FRAP) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging were used as antioxidant determinants and also protein content were investigated in these mushrooms' methanolic extracts. Same measurements were determined in mushrooms' growing medium except protein content. The highest protein content (20.89%) was found in non-sterilized tea wastes. The highest total phenolic (1.460±0.012 mg GAE/g), total flavonoid (0.120±0.005 mg QE/g), condensed tannin (0.877±0.011 mg CE/g) and the lowest scavenging of free radical activity (17.190±0.001 mg/mL) were determined in sterilized tea wastes. The highest ferric reducing antioxidant power (8.498±0.089 μmolFeSO4.7H2O/g) were determined in espresso wastes. Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference between the sterilized and non-sterilized substrates for the total yield and biological efficiencies. In this case, it can be said that the kinds of substrates and their usage forms are very important in terms of energy savings especially does not require sterilization like tea wastes. Consequently, tea and espresso wastes can be used as a beneficial source of substrate material for Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom cultivation.

“…Suitable acclimatization medium has an effect on root development and nutrient absorption for plant growth. The use of organic materials as an acclimatization medium can improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil [8]. Organic material as a planting medium produces the best plantlet growth during the acclimatization process [9].…”

Barangan Merah is a potential type of banana to be developed under in vitro condition. Acclimatization is the final stage in the propagation by in vitro culture. The use of acclimatization medium from organic materials in the surrounding environment can be an alternative in acclimatization process. This study aims to obtain the optimal organic medium in acclimatization process for the growth of Barangan Merah banana seedlings resulting from in vitro culture. The planting material used plantlets from in vitro regeneration of banana cv. Barangan Merah from Tissue Culture Laboratory, Agricultural Faculty, Universitas Syiah Kuala. The experiment used the individual pot technique with the application of organic medium types, namely husk charcoal, sand, leaf litter compost, and oil palm fruit bunches compost. The results of this research showed that the highest number of seedlings that were still survive until the end of the acclimatization process was found in the husk charcoal medium (71.43%). The best seedling growth according to the increasing of leaves number, leaf size, and plant height in the acclimatization process was found in leaf litter compost medium.
