The application of palm-oil waste as organic materials on three pineapple accessions cultivated on post-tin mining land in Bangka Island, Indonesia. Nusantara Bioscience 12: 40-45. Tin mining activities in Bangka Island have produced a vast extent of critical lands that contain clay and tailings. Bangka local pineapple accessions have a high potential to be cultivated in the post-tin mining area as they are able to adapt to drought. The aim of this research was to investigate the growth performance of three pineapple accessions planted on post-tin mining land in Bangka by utilizing solid waste of oil palm as organic materials. The study was conducted in Dwi Makmur village, Merawang Sub-district, Bangka District from November 2017 to June 2019. The experiment used Factorial Completely Randomized Design (FCRD) with two factors: the first was three pineapple accessions (i.e. Toboali Bikang, Peranak and Bogor) and the second was palm oil solid waste (i.e. palm oil empty bunch (POEB) and palm oil bare ash (POBA)). We measured the parameters of vegetative and generative and the values were compared using Fisher test followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (α 0.05). We also conducted organoleptic tests and total dissolved solid tests to assess the quality of the fruit. We found that the application of POEB as organic materials affected the vegetative and generative parameters. We also found that the interaction of POEB with Peranak accession resulted in the best fruit productivity. Our results suggest that Peranak accession is potential to be cultivated in post-tin mining land in Bangka with the application of palm oil empty bunch as organic materials.

The effect of palm oil (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) solid waste on the stomatal density and chlorophyll content of the pepper (Piper nigrum L.)

“…IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1297/1/012013 4 botrytis L.) yield per hectare [33]. The use of palm oil empty bunch (POEB) waste also affected the vegetative and generative growth of three pineapple accessions cultivated on post-tin mining land, palm oil empty bunches also resulted in the highest chlorophyll content, which was significantly distinct from both the control and palm oil empty ash treatments [34]. In this study, FFB waste of palm oil significantly affected the stomatal density (Table 1) and chlorophyll content (Table 2) of the pepper plant.…”

“…Palm oil waste, with each ton containing 1.5% nitrogen (N), 0.5% phosphorus (P), 7.3% potassium (K), and 0.9% magnesium (Mg), can serve as a viable alternative fertilizer for plants. [40,34].…”

“…It has sufficient potency large enough to be used as a substitute fertilizer by applying the waste above the land around the plantations [27]. Nitrogen functions as a component found in amino acids and proteins, which are essential elements in the composition of chlorophyll, a crucial component in the process of photosynthesis [34]. Another research mentioned that EFB consists of 52.93% cellulose, 15.27% hemicellulose, and 17.43% lignin [28].…”

The Use of Phytoremediaton with an Up-flow System to Reduce Pollutants at Anaerobic Pond Outlets II Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)

“…Fitoremediasi adalah suatu sistem yang mengandalkan tanaman air tertentu bekerjasama dengan mikroorganisme dalam media (tanah, koral dan air) yang dapat menurunkan zat kontaminan (pencemar) menjadi tidak berbahaya atau bahkan menjadi bahan yang berguna secara ekonomi (Lestari et al, 2020). Beberapa jenis tanaman air mampu bekerja sebagai agens fitoremediasi, seperti tanaman paku air (Azolla pinnata), kangkung air (Ipomoea aquatica), cattail (Typha angustifolia) dan bambu air (Equisetum hyemale).…”

Characteristics of Bromelain enzyme from Queen variety pineapple crown at different drying temperatures

“…Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L) Merr) is a tropical fruit that is widely grown and consumed as a source of vitamins and minerals [1]. Pineapple has several varieties, in Indonesia the most commonly cultivated pineapple varieties are Queen and Cayenne pineapples [2]. Queen pineapple is a population that is sufficiently produced so that it is easy to find in various places where pineapple is sold at very affordable prices [3].…”
