The need for orchids in Indonesia are still very large, including the Dendrobium "Indonesia Raya" orchid which is still popular. Obstacles in orchid propagation are very slow growth at the acclimatization stage so that alternatives are needed to spur the vegetative growth of orchid plantlets whose materials are easily available and affordable. One of the efforts to spur growth is by using a combination of fern media, husk charcoal, and wood shavings and using Monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a fertilizer supplement in the growth of orchid plantlets at the aclimatization stage. This study aims to determine the effect of the type of planting medium and the application of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and its interaction on the growth of the Dendrobium "Indonesia Raya" orchid at the acclimatization stage. The method used was a 2-factor factorial randomized block design (RBD). The first factor was the type of planting medium, namely ferns, husk charcoal, wood shavings, ferns + husk charcoal, ferns + wood shavings, ferns + husk charcoal + wood shavings. The second factor is the dose of Monosodium glutamate, namely without MSG, 2.5 grams / liter of water and 5.0 grams / liter of water. Located in the Laboratory and Green House of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries of Makassar City from December 2020 to February 2021. The results showed that the dose of Monosodium glutamate do not provide a significant response to the growth of orchid plantlets while the combination of fern + charcoal growing media could increase the vegetative growth of orchids. Dendrobium "Indonesia Raya" at the aclimatization stage.
This community service program aims to increase the knowledge and skills of farmer groups through entrepreneurship-based Trichokompos development training. This service uses training method with target partners, namely Tunas Muda Kreatif Farmer Group, Curioo Village, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The instrument for evaluating this activity was a questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. The result of this service activity is an increase in the knowledge of farmer groups about entrepreneurship and they are able to produce Trichoderma sp and Trichokompos in greater numbers. In addition, farmer groups have been able to market Trichokompos products so that they get economic benefits and can have an impact on plant growth which can be seen from the performance of pepper plants which are different from before, which is carried out through experiments and demplot
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
