“…The positive correlation is thought to occur because the additional dose of chicken manure increases the water and nutrient content in the soil, accelerating the leaf growth rate (Aritonang et al 2018), increasing the number of flowers (Mawarni and Siahaan 2022), and increasing fruit size (Abul-soud 2008). This is in line with the results of the study by Khan et al (2017) that chicken manure increases the water-holding capacity and moisture in the soil, which in turn eases the uptake of nutrients from the soil for plants.…”

Abstract. Limbongan YL. 2023. Interrelationship between number of flowers, fruits, and cucumber production (Cucumis sativus) grown on a mixture of soil and chicken manure. Biodiversitas 24: 3448-3453. This study aimed to determine the effect on the relationship between the number of flowers, fruits formed and the production of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in chicken manure-supplemented soil. The research was conducted from June to August 2022 in Tikala Village, Tikala Sub-district, North Toraja District, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, at an altitude of 866.9 m above sea level with climate type B (Schmidt and Ferguson) and was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The treatment used chicken manure at five levels, namely, control, 100 g, 200 g, 300 g, and 400 g chicken manure per plant. The results showed that the application of chicken manure at different doses gave different responses to the growth and production of cucumbers. A dose of 400 g/plant is the best treatment to increase the number of flowers, number of fruits, size, and production of the fruit up to 54 days after planting, with a fruit weight of 2.69 kg per plot or 17.93-ton ha?1. The number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit diameter, and fruit length had linear responses and a significant positive correlation with the production of cucumbers.

Wild leafy vegetables are commonly included in the diet of people in rural homesteads. Among various wild edible vegetables in South Africa, Trachyandra divaricata (Sandkool) is one of the most abundant but underutilized due to the dearth of literature on its cultivation and nutritional value. In the present study, the effect of potassium application and pruning on growth dynamics, mineral composition, and proximate and phytochemical content in T. divaricata were evaluated. Treatments consisted of three potassium concentrations (0.0072, 0.0144, and 0.0216 M) supplemented in the form of potassium sulphate (K2SO4) with four pruning levels (unpruned, 5, 10, and 15 cm) applied in each treatment. The potassium doses were added to the nutrient solution, while the control treatment was sustained and irrigated with nutrient solution only. The results revealed a significant increase in flower bud yield, height, total dry and wet weight of shoots and roots, as well as ash and neutral detergent fibre in plants irrigated with 0.0072 M of K2SO4 without pruning. Conversely, chlorophyll content and Ca were comparable among treatments, while the highest yield of Na, P, N, and Zn was recorded in treatment 100 mL of K2SO4 with 10 cm pruning. Likewise, the highest antioxidant value (Polyphenols, Flavonol and DPPH) was obtained from plants irrigated with 0.0072 M of K2SO4 with 10 cm pruning. Based on these findings, T. divaricata is a promising leafy vegetable as a minimum dose (0.0072 M) of K with moderate pruning optimised its productivity in terms of growth, biomass parameters, nutritional content, and antioxidant potential. Due to its rich nutritional value, the plant should be domesticated and studied further for its potential nutraceutical benefits.
