RESPON PEMUPUKAN TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN, PRODUKSI DAN MUTU HERBA MENIRAN (Phyllantus niruri)

Abstract

ABSTRAKMeniran (Phyllantus niruri L.) merupakan tanaman liar berkhasiat obat, bahan bakunya sebagian besar diperoleh secara menambang. Pemupukan pada tanaman meniran dalam rangka meningkatkan produktivitas dan mutu belum banyak dilakukan. Percobaan bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pupuk terhadap pertumbuhan dan mutu herba meniran. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Cimanggu dari Januari sampai Juni 2013. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok empat ulangan dengan delapan perlakuan pemupukan. Perlakuan pemupukan terdiri dari (1) kontrol (tanpa pupuk), (2) 20 t ha K. Secara kualitatif, kandungan metabolit sekunder alkaloid, tanin, saponin, flavonoid, fenolik, triterpenoid, dan glikosida simplisia meniran tidak berbeda nyata pada semua perlakuan pemupukan. Kata kunci: Phyllantus niruri, pemupukan, produksi, mutu simplisia ABSTRACT Phyllantus niruri L. is medicinal plant which is mostly obtained by gathering from wild, thus there was no information related to its cultivation technology. The research was aimed to know the effect of fertilizers to growth and quality of

The Hepatotoxic and Nephrotoxic Effects of Purwoceng (Pimpinella pruatjan Molk.) Roots Ethanol Extract Administration in Subchronic Dose

“…These compounds are lipophilic compounds that are difficult to excrete in the kidneys so that if given for a long time, they will accumulate in the proximal tubule. Lipophilic compound requires enzymatic conversion into hydrophilic before being xcreeted in the urine and more lipophilic a compound is, the more difficult it becomes for excretion via the kidney (Setiawan, & Rahardjo, 2016). The proximal tubule is very sensitive to toxic substances; if the proximal tubule cannot adapt to these conditions, it will cause irreversible injury in the form of necrosis (Cardenas, & Ginès, 2017).…”
