“…Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberian PGPR mampu menurunkan kebutuhan vermikompos serta meningkatkan nilai tinggi tanaman tanaman tebu. Vermikompos mengandung sebagian besar nutrisi yang tersedia bagi tanaman seperti nitrat, fosfat, dan kalium (Kumar et al, 2018). Bahan organik sangat dibutuhkan mikroorganisme yang berperan sebagai sumber energi dalam menjalankan fungsi metabolismenya.…”

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) play an important role for sugar consumption in Indonesia. Problem found with sugar industry in Indonesia is the low productivity of sugarcane because of cultivation techniques caused by low soil fertility. This research aimed to determine effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and vermicompost in increasing the growth of sugarcane. The research method used Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisted of 2 factors with a combination of 6 treatments. The first factor was A1 = without PGPR A2 = PGPR (10 ml.L-1) and the second factor was P1 = 3.5 t.ha-1 (50% vermicompost recommended fertilizer), P2 = 7.t ha-1 (100% vermicompost recommended fertilizer) and P3 = 10.5 t.ha-1 (150% vermicompost recommended fertilizer). Variables of this observation are plant height, number of tillers, number of stems, number of internodes, stem diameter, brix value and the yield of sugarcane. At the age 7 months after planting, the treatment of PGPR application at a vermicompost dose of 7 t.ha-1 (78.46 t.ha-1) was able to reduce the need for a vermicompost dose which was shown by a higher yield value compared to without PGPR application with vermicompost 3.5 t.ha-1 and vermicompost dose of 7 t.ha-1. A higher stem weight obtained in the PGPR treatment when compared to the treatment without PGPR. At a vermicompost 7 t.ha-1 and a vermicompost 10.5 t.ha-1 showed a higher stem weight compared to vermicompost 3.5 t.ha-1.

“…The earthworms' castings also have pest repellent attributes. Beside that vermicompost also improves soil structure, soil aggregation and improve water retention capacity (Kumar et al 2018). Neilsan (1985) reported that the presence of plant growth promoting compound elaborated by earthworm promote a significantly increase in plant growth and N uptake.…”

A field experiment was conducted during the year 2018-2019 to study the effect of spacing (50×50, 50×60 and 50×75), dose of vermi-compost (0, 5.0 and 10.0 ton/ha) and foliar application of salicylic acid (0, 100 and 200 ppm) on the growth, flowering and soil health of chrysanthemum. The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with twenty seven treatments and three replications. Significant improvement in growth and flowering characters was recorded with closer spacing (50×50 cm) except plant spread, number of flowers/plant, weight of individual flower, diameter of flower, shelf life and stalk length while, plants grown at wider spacing had maximum available NPK in post harvested soil. Gradual increases doses of vermicompost for 0 to 10.0 ton/ha significantly improved plant growth, flowering and yield attributing traits alongwith higher availability of NPK in post harvested soil. Among the foliar spray of salicylic acid, salicylic acid (100 ppm) significantly produced good plant growth and flower yield except induced early flowering and 50% flowering however, control showed maximum availability of NPK in post-harvested soil. Among the combined combinations, maximum flower yield/plant was recorded with treatment combination T 26 (S 3 +VC 2 +SA 1) and treatment combination T 8 (S 1 +VC 2 +SA 1) resulted in maximum flower yield/plot and flower yield/ha during course of study. Highlights m The closer spacing showed (50×50 cm) gave maximum plant height and flowering yield/ha while wider spacing (50×75 cm) resulted in maximum plant spread, number of flowers/plant, weight of individual flower, diameter of flower, shelf-life and stalk length. m Gradual increases doses of vermicopost had maximum plant growth, flower yield and higher availability of NPK in post-harvested soil. m An application of salicylic acid @ (100 ppm) significantly produced good plant growth and higher flower yield except induced early flowering and 50% flowering however, control showed maximum availability of NPK in post-harvested soil. m Combined effect of different treatments, maximum flower yield/plant (162.39 g) was recorded with treatment combination T 26 (S 3 +VC 2 +SA 1). However, treatment combination T 8 (S 1 +VC 2 +SA 1) resulted in maximum flower yield/plot (4.87 kg) and flower yield (3.79 ton/ha).

“…In view of this demand, it could be tempting for farmers to turn to pesticides and chemical fertilizers to promote crop production. However, the excessive and continued use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers creates serious soil health hazards, raises production costs, and has a detrimental effect on farmers' health (Ali 2004;Kouser and Qaim 2013;Muriithi et al 2016;Kumar et al 2018;Rahman and Barmon 2019). Chemical fertilizers are substantial polluters (Alola et al 2019), and environmental deterioration is a direct result of primary economic activity such as agriculture (Alola and Alola 2018).…”
