“…According toQavami et al (2013) The content of silymarin in milk thistle seeds depends on the variety and the geographical and climatic conditions. Also, according toArampatzis et al (2019), the impact of climatic conditions on the crop and its quality is demonstrable, whilst the lowest values of silymarin content and harvest of seeds were recorded in a dry year in the season from March to May.…”

Milk thistle Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. is one of the most researched medicinal plants, but at the same time it belongs to crops with wide industry potential whose growth requirements for marginal agroecological conditions or the response to agronomic interventions has not yet been sufficiently studied. The aim of the present research was to verify the effect of mineral nutrition (NPK 200 kg/ha) and humic acids applied to the soil (HUMAC Agro 250 kg/ha) on the main biometric parameters and the intensity of photosynthesis of milk thistle grown under less favourable climatic conditions of the semi-cold and humid foothills in Central Europe. The highest seed yield was achieved with the NPK variant in terms of dry matter 0.534 t/ha, in the HUMAC Agro variant 0.254 t/ha and with the untreated control 0.087 t/ha. The soil before the trial establishment was characterised by low nutrient content. The use of mineral fertiliser on NPK treatment eliminated the influence of low PK nutrients content of the soil, influencing the crop growth and yield/quality, while no doses of NPK were used on the HUMAC Agro variant and the untreated control. For both of the two sequences created (temperature and light), the highest photosynthesis rate was measured on untreated control (20.115 and 12.386 mmol/m2/s1), markedly lower on HUMAC Agro (16.386 and 9.653 mmol/m2/s1) – and the lowest on the NPK (10.933 and 7.813 mmol/m2/s1, respectively), in inverse proportion to the crop yield. Therefore, the size of the leaf area of the crop was decisive for the increased crop yield. The polynomial trend line of the photosynthesis rate according to the temperature sequence shows the photosynthesis rate and the torrential decrease by temperature increasing on untreated control compared with both treated variants. Both of these threats, mineral nutrition and use of humic preparations to soil, although they reduce the photosynthesis rate, have a wide range of complex effects that provide an opportunity to optimise the growth and yield of milk thistle. Ideally, the mineral nutrition and humic preparations should be used in combination with the crop of milk thistle for medicinal and energy purposes.

“…Divya et al (2021) membuktikan bahwa aplikasi kitosan pada benih, tanah, dan daun mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan hasil panen tanaman padi serta tidak memberikan efek negatif pada tanah. Kitosan telah terbukti dapat meningkatkan hasil panen pada beberapa tanaman (Pichyangkura & Chadchawan, 2015;Mukta et al, 2017;Qavami et al, 2017;Rahman et al, 2018). Malerba & Cerana (2018) melaporkan bahwa kitosan berperan dalam menstimulasi pertumbuhan dan mendorong toleransi tanaman terhadap cekaman biotik dan abiotik.…”

Chitosan is a derivative compound from chitin that has potential as a biopesticide and biostimulant. This research aimed to analyze the effect of chitosan’s soluble liquid (SL) on the disease suppression and yield of rice. This research was conducted in two locations: the first was at Nglawak Village, Nganjuk District, East Java, and the second was at Harjasari Village, Tegal District, Central Java, in dry season of 2020. Chitosan SL application was carried out by foliar spray on rice plants at 2, 6, and 9 weeks after planting with the treatment of Chitosan SL 25 ml L-1 (P1), Chitosan SL 25 ml L-1+ synthetic pesticides (P2), synthetic pesticides application as control (P0). Each treatment was replicated nine times in each location. The vegetative parameters observed consist of leaf color, number of tillers, and plant height, while the number of productive tillers was observed during the harvesting period. The observed disease incidence was bacterial leaf blight, sheath blight, and blast. The result showed that the application of Chitosan SL significantly affected disease suppression (sheath blight) and yield compared to control, and there was no significant effect between P1 and P2. The application of Chitosan SL could suppress sheath blight disease by up to 45% and increase crop yields by up to 25%. Abstrak Kitosan merupakan senyawa turunan dari kitin yang memiliki potensi sebagai biopestisida dan juga biostimulan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh aplikasi kitosan soluble liquid (SL) terhadap kejadian penyakit dan hasil panen padi. Pengujian dilakukan di dua lokasi, yakni di Desa Nglawak, Kabupaten Nganjuk Jawa Timur dan di Desa Harjasari, Kabupaten Tegal, Jawa Tengah pada musim kemarau tahun 2020. Aplikasi kitosan SL dilakukan dengan penyemprotan daun pada 2, 6, dan 9 minggu setelah tanam, dengan perlakuan meliputi: kitosan SL 25 mL L-1(P1), kitosan SL 25 ml L-1+ pestisida kimia (P2), dan pestisida sintetik saja sebagai kontrol (P0). Setiap perlakuan diulang sebanyak sembilan kali pada masing-masing lokasi. Parameter vegetatif yang diamati meliputi warna daun, jumlah anakan dan tinggi tanaman, sedangkan jumlah anakan produktif diamati pada saat panen. Kejadian penyakit yang diamati adalah hawar daun bakteri, hawar daun pelepah, dan blas. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi kitosan SL pada tanaman padi berpengaruh nyata terhadap penekanan kejadian penyakit hawar pelepahdan hasil panen dibandingkan kontrol, serta tidak ada perbedaan pengaruh yang nyata antara P1 dengan P2. Aplikasi kitosan SL mampu menekan kejadian penyakit hawar pelepah hingga 45% dan mampu meningkatkan hasil panen hingga 25%.

Corn, an important crop in Indonesia still has a low productivity, thus many efforts are required to fulfill its national demand. One of the solutions to improve corn yield is by applying biostimulant containing chitosan as an active ingredient. Chitosan has been proved to increase plant growth and resistance against diseases. The objective of this research was to study the effects of several chitosan formulas on the yield and diseases occurance in sweet corn (Zea mays var. Bonanza). The chitosan formulas tested were soluble liquid(SL), wettable powder (WP), nano chitosan (NN), and unformulated chitosan (CH). The experiment was arranged using a randomized block design with three replications. All chitosan formulas were applied by seeds soaking for 20 minutes, followed by foliar spraying on corn plants at three weeks after planting (WAP), with the concentration of 500 ppm (400 L/ha spray volume), every threeweeks until 9 WAP. Parameters observed were brix value, weight of corn cobs, weight of corn biomass, and plant diseases including downy leaves, leafblight and leaf rust. The results showed that NN formula increased the brix value up to 7%, the corn cob weight up to 49% and the biomass weight upto 34% compared to the control; whereas SL formula reduced the incidence of downy mildew by 53% at 3 WAP and leaf blight disease by 51% at 6 WAP. In addition, the incidence of corn leaf rust reduced 59-71% in corn plant subjected to all chitosan formulas. Based on the results, application of chitosan in NN formula was best in increasing yield, while in SL formula was best in reducing the incidence of important corn diseases.[Keywords: downy mildew, chitosan formula, seed treatment]AbstrakJagung sebagai salah satu komoditas pangan penting di Indonesia masih memiliki produktivitas yang rendah sehingga diperlukan usaha untuk memenuhi kebutuhan jagung nasional. Salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan hasil jagung adalah dengan aplikasi biostimulan yang mengandung bahan aktif kitosan. Kitosan telah terbukti mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan daya tahantanaman terhadap penyakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari pengaruh beberapa formula kitosan terhadap hasil dan kejadian penyakit pada tanaman jagung manis (Zea mays var. Bonanza). Formula kitosan yang diuji adalah cairan yang dapat larut (soluble liquid, SL), tepung yang dapat dibasahi (wettable powder, WP), nano kitosan (nano chitosan, NN), dan kitosan non formulasi (unformulated chitosan, CH). Percobaan dilakukan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) dengan tiga ulangan. Masingmasing formula kitosan tersebut diaplikasikan melalui perendaman benih selama 20 menit yangdiikuti dengan penyemprotan daun pada tanaman jagung berumur tiga minggu dengan konsentrasi 500 ppm (volume semprot 400 L/ha) yang dilakukan setiap tiga minggu sampai tanaman berumur sembilan minggu. Parameter yangdiamati adalah nilai brix, bobot tongkol jagung, bobot biomassa jagung, dan penekanan kejadian beberapa penyakit tanaman meliputi bulai, hawardaun, dan karat daun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi kitosan NNmeningkatkan nilai brix jagung manis hingga 7%, bobot tongkol jagung hingga 49% dan bobot biomassa hingga 34% dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Sementara itu, aplikasi kitosan SL dapat menekan kejadian penyakit bulai hingga 53% padaumur tanaman 3 minggu setelah tanam (MST) dan penyakit hawar daun hingga 51% pada umur 6 MST. Selain itu, kejadian penyakit karat daun jagung juga dapat ditekan 59-71% pada aplikasi keempat formula kitosan. Berdasarkan hasiltersebut, aplikasi kitosan NN paling optimal dalam meningkatkan hasil panen jagung manis, sedangkan aplikasi kitosan SL paling optimal dalam menekan kejadian beberapa penyakit pada tanaman jagung.[Kata Kunci: bulai, formula kitosan, perlakuan benih]
