“…The decline in soil quality is also caused by the lack of attention to land conservation which causes high soil erosion so that a lot of organic matter content is lost. At the same time, organic matter decreases, which is harmful to fertility and productivity (Boone et al, 2018;Zhu et al, 2018). Therefore, it is recommended to use cover crops (Hussain et al, 2018;Rasyid, 2016;Munawir et al, 2019;Merten and Minella, 2013) which have long been used in India by using legumes in annual crops (Usha et al, 2015), to minimize loss of topsoil soil through erosion (Mozumdar, 2012;Wang et al, 2019).…”

History shows the long process of apple plants originating from subtropical regions adapting to Indonesia's tropical climate until its popularity is increasingly marginalized and replaced with other commodities, as evidenced by the decreasing land area, especially in Batu City. Indonesia. In developing and analyzing solutions based on the principles of sustainable development, an integrated and holistic approach is required. To understand problems and find solutions, we can use Systems dynamics. The purpose of this study is to obtain a policy scenario that encourages sustainable apple farming. Data is collected from the local government and BPS City or Province so that the selected variables follow the specific location. The system approach is used to identify needs, problem formulation, preparation of input-output diagrams, cause-effect diagrams and stock-flow diagrams. A series of scenarios is created and tested through simulation to understand the system's dynamic behavior better and obtain the desired output. The best scenario was chosen, namely by replanting 10% of old plant each year, using integrated agriculture with 3 female and 1 male brooders, reduction of land change with 50% success, Local economic development by integrating tourist ticket and hotels with 0,75 kg apple fruits also increasing health support for students

“…Different problems arising it climatic changes cause lots of problems in case of brinjal plants and its fruits. In tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world it was observed that the growth of the crop is arrested especially during fruit setting stages due to high temperature conditions [26]. The high temperatures above 55-60 ℃ are very problematic as they allow the dropping of the flowers and reduce the capacity of fruit setting.…”

Brinjal is a beautiful vegetable crop with strong nutritional properties specifically folate concentration and total chlorogenic acid content. These vitamins and minerals are very much effective in building up the immune system, whilst chlorogenic acid content protects the human body against heart illnesses, liver issues and diabetes. The quantity of these chemicals changes from cultivar to cultivar largely based upon the location of growth and changing environmental circumstances. Many plant breeding strategies are used to alleviate the losses but have proved to be less successful. Whereas the use of molecular markers and other biotechnology technologies have created a road for creating climate smart brinjal with maximum yields and nutritious contents.

“…The available K which is directly absorbed and utilized by plants only accounts for only 0.1–2% of the total K content in the soil ( Chérel et al, 2014 ). According to the previous investigations of fertilization in different apple-producing areas in China, the orchard managers generally apply N but ignore phosphorus (P) and K applications ( Zhu et al, 2018 ). The K balance in the soil has gradually been destroyed, and K deficiency in orchard soil has become a common production problem.…”

Potassium (K) is an indispensable nutrient element in the development of fruit trees in terms of yield and quality. It is unclear how a stable or unstable supply of K affects plant growth. We studied the root morphology and physiological and molecular changes in the carbon and nitrogen metabolism of M9T337 apple rootstock under different K levels and supply methods using hydroponics. Five K supply treatments were implemented: continuous low K (KL), initial low and then high K (KLH), appropriate and constant K (KAC), initial high and then low K (KHL), and continuous high K (KH). The results showed that the biomass, root activity, photosynthesis, and carbon and nitrogen metabolism of the M9T337 rootstocks were inhibited under KL, KH, KLH and KHL conditions. The KAC treatment promoted root growth by optimizing endogenous hormone content, enhancing carbon and nitrogen metabolism enzyme activities, improving photosynthesis, optimizing the distribution of carbon and nitrogen, and upregulating the transcription levels of nitrogen assimilation-related genes (nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, MdNRT1.1, MdNRT1.2, MdNRT1.5, MdNRT2.4). These results suggest that an appropriate and constant K supply ensures the efficient assimilation and utilization of nitrogen and carbon.
