The Effect of Arbuscular Vesicular Mycorrhizae on the Efficiency of Phosphate Absorption on the Growth and Production of Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum Frutescens L. )

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza and phosphate fertilization on the growth and production of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L. ). Research conducted at the Greenhouse o f Faculty of Agriculture, University of Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. Factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with repeat 4 times. The first factor: VA mycorrhizal (with and without mycorrhiza); the second factor: phosphate (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg TSP/Ha). The variables measured were plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of flowers, fruit number, fruit weight, fresh weight of plants, phosphate uptake. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Duncan test 5%. Mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate give significantly different interaction effects on plant height, stem diameter, plant fresh weight, and phosphate uptake of plants with mycorrhizal fungi combination VA and phosphate 300 kg/Ha which gives the highest yield. Mycorrhizal fungi significant effect in increasing plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit weight and wet weight of plants and plant phosphate uptake. Phosphate significant effect in increasing plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit weight and wet weight of plants and plant phosphate uptake. There is no difference between the effect of phosphate 100 kgTSP/Ha with 200 and 300 kg/Ha TSP in high regard detainees, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of relationship, the amount of fruit, fruit weight, and plant fresh weight.

"Human Gut Microbes Assisted Agricultural Food Production for Better Human Health: A New Concept"

“…The findings suggest that grape polyphenols have potential prebiotic effects on modulating the gut microbiota composition and generating SCFAs that contribute to the improvements of host health. M Abror, et al [102] concluded that leri water and lactobacillus bacteria have an effect on the growth and production of mustard greens.…”

“…It is evident that some of the gut microbes are associated with the crop plants in the agricultural production system with some unknown and known roles (Mundt, et al [110,111,103,109,114,113,100,102]) . These gut microbes are indispensable part of the human health and their population and equilibrium in the gut plays an important role in various metabolic, hormonal, and neurological functions.…”

THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF PHYTOHORMONES ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF SWEET CORN (Zea mays sturt L.)

“…Phytohormones consisting of a mixture of coconut water, bean sprouts and bamboo shoots, which contain the hormones auxin, cytokinins and gibberellins (Purdyaningsih, 2013). The auxin phytohormone contained in bean sprouts can help accelerate and support the vegetative period of plants so that they enter the generative period more quickly (Miftakurrohmat & Dewantara, 2020). Optimum administration of auxin can increase meristematic cell division, and this increase in cell division can accelerate plant growth, especially plant height (Khairuna, 2019).…”

“…Optimum administration of auxin can increase meristematic cell division, and this increase in cell division can accelerate plant growth, especially plant height (Khairuna, 2019). Likewise, the provision of cytokinin phytohormones contained in coconut water has benefits in increasing plant growth (Miftakurrohmat & Dewantara, 2020).…”
