The effect of manure and ascorbic acid to the growth of Vetiveria zizanioides L. in saline soil

Abstract

Vetiveria zizanioides was known as vetiver that produces a good quality oil and is also competent in foreign markets. This study aims to determine the effect of manure and ascorbic acid on the growth of vetiver on saline soil by applying the appropriate dose of manure and ascorbic acid for optimal growth. The methodology was done using a randomized block design with three replicates and consisted of 2 factors, i.e., manure level (K) and the ascorbic acid concentration (A). The results suggested an interaction of the manure and ascorbic acid concentration in the plant height, root volume but not found in the number of clumps. The manure displays a significant response to plant height, number of leaves, number of clumps, and root volume. The ascorbic acid response to the growth was obtained to the best response in plant height, a number of leaves, and root volume. The dose of manure and ascorbic acid that increased concentration was suspected to control salinity stress. The manure was thought to be able to provide the organic matter in saline soil because the addition of organic matter holds water and retains nutrients. Besides, ascorbic acid has been a role antioxidant during plant stress.

“…The abovementioned results were confirmed during the two successive seasons. Similar favorable effects on plant growth due to the organic applications of (AsA) were noticed by Nassar et al (2019) on basil plant, Azizi et al (2021) on Calendula officinalis L., Hassan et al (2021) on Hordeum vulgare L., and Novita et al (2022) on Vetiveria zizanioides L. However, the results for CAA are as stated with those reported by Junxi et al (2010) on Chinese cabbage, Mohammadipour and Souri (2019) on Coriandrum sativum L., and Ahmed et al (2020) on borage plant. However, these results for Com are in harmony with those reported by Abo-Kora and Mohsen (2016) on basil plant, and Golijan and Marković (2018) on fennel plant.…”

“…The vetiver grass was able to thrive in swine wastewater, according to Ngilangil et al, as shown by the height of its shoots and the length of its roots, which were 65.50 and 65.80 cm after 9 weeks of culture (Ngilangil & Quinquito, 2020). According to Novita et al., ascorbic acid and manure had best effects on vetiver grass growth in salty soil, with plant heights of 145.71 and 145.61 cm, respectively (Novita et al., 2022).…”

“…Nutrient solution concentration (mg/L) The vetiver plant, Vetiveria zizanioides L., is a species of the Graminae family (Novita et al, 2022). Since vetiver has difficulty producing seeds germinate, the usual method of proliferation is through root division.…”
