Sosialisasi Dan Pendampingan Paket Teknologi Hayati Untuk Budidaya Cabe Di Kawasan Pesisir Bengkulu

Abstract

Pepper plants that grow in coastal areas facing a multiple stress i.e high temperatures, strong winds, drought, salinity, and nutrient deficiencies. Cultivation of plants in coastal areas requires specific technology, but cheap and environmentally friendly.Socialization, training, and mentoring implemented to improve the ability of farmers to implement the cultivation of high yielded chillies in coastal areas. The methods implemented namely (1) socialization potential of coastal land for plant cultivation and the technology needed, (2) training production of biocompost and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculant, and (3) demoplot pepper cultivation in coastal lands. The activities carried out in the Desa Pekik Nyaring and Beringin Raya, Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu province. Demoplot arranged Split-split plot with a randomized block design Complete two-factor with the location, genotype chili and fertilizer as the main plot, subplot, and sub-sub plot. The results show that farmers can absorb the information and training well to produce biocompost and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inculant. Desa Beringin Raya is more potential for pepper cultivation compared Desa Pekik Nyaring. Better technology need to be formulated to pepper cultivation in that village.

Selection of Soybean Varieties for Coastal Zones in Bengkulu

“…As the source of charge that holds nutrient ions, it is not easy to be washed, to detoxify pesticides and heavy metal compounds, and so forth. Researchers have reported positive effects of organic fertilizer on increased growth and yields of soybeans [3], and humid acid as a fraction of organic matter reduced or eliminated the influence of the salt stress on soybean [4].…”

“…AMF found in Bengkulu Province has proven its capacity to improve the productivity of soybean and peanut varieties in acid mineral soil [13] and chili grown at the coastal area [2]. Similar importance is the symbioses of the Rhizobium bacteria [14] and the phosphate solubilizing fungi [3], [13] with soybean crops to increase soybean productivity in acid mineral soils. However, as far as this author is concerned, there is no information in the literature on the effectiveness of isolating biofertilizer from Bengkulu Province to increase soybean productivity in coastal land.…”
