Efektivitas Pseudomonas Fluorescens Dan Paenibacillus Polymyxa Terhadap Keparahan Penyakit Karat Dan Hawar Daun Serta Pertumbuhan Tanaman Jagung Manis (Zea Mays Var. Saccharata)

Penyakit penting pada tanaman jagung diantaranya adalah penyakit karat daun yang disebabkan oleh jamur Puccinia sorghi Schwein dan penyakit hawar daun yang disebabkan oleh jamur Helmithosporium turcicum Leonard et Suggs. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji keefektifan Pseudomonas fluorescens dan Paenibacillus polymyxa dalam menekan perkembangan penyakit karat dan hawar daun jagung serta memicu pertumbuhan tanaman jagung. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan September sampai bulan Desember 2015 di Laboratorium Penyakit Tumbuhan Jurusan Agroteknologi dan di lahan petani di Kampung Baru Bandar Lampung. Perlakuan disusun dalam rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) terdiri atas lima perlakuan dan tiga ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri atas (1) P0 kontrol berupa tanaman jagung yang tidak diberi perlakuan fungisida, P. polymyxa dan P.fluorescens (2) P1 perendaman benih jagung dalam formulasi P. polymyxa selama 6 jam, (3) P2 perendaman benih jagungdalam formulasi P. fluorescensselama 6 jam, (4) P3 perendaman benih jagung dalam formulasi P. polymyxa danP.fluorescens selama 6 jam, (5) P4 perendaman benih jagung dalam fungisida propineb selama 6 jam. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan sidik ragam kemudian dilanjutkan dengan uji Beda Nyata Terkecil (BNT) pada tarif nyata 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) Aplikasi P. fluorescens dan P. polymyxa mampu menekan keparahan penyakit karat dan hawar daun jagung (2) Aplikasi P. polymyxa mampu meningkatkan tinggi tanaman dan jumlah daun jagung

Effectiveness of the Application of Organic Matter and Trichoderma Viride From Suppresive Soil to Control Fusarium Wilt on Banana Plant

Effectiveness of the application of organic matter and Trichoderma viride from suppresive soil to control fusarium wilt on banana plant. Fusarium wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense is one of the problems in banana production. This research was aimed to evaluate the effect of Trichoderma viride isolated from suppresive soil and organic matter on controlling fusarium wilt on banana plant. The efficcacy trial consisted of 12 treatments and four replications within each treatment. Each experimental unit consisted of 10 plants. Organic matters used were rice straw, cassava peel, and compost. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design. Data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance followed by orthogonal analysis (P≤0.05). Application of T. viride suppressed disease incident up to 65%. The highest disease incident occurred in plants treated without T. viride and organic matter and in plants treated with organic matter only (78.33%). Disease incidence in plants treated with T.viride was lower than those treated with the combination of T. viride and organic matter. Different application times (in nursery or soil medium) did not significantly affect fusarium wilt incidence. The type of organic matter did not significantly affect the incidence and severity of fusarium wilt
