An efficient plant regeneration protocol has been developed from leaf explants of Stevia rebaudiana, an economically and medicinally important herbaceous plant species belonging to the family Asteraceae. Plant regeneration and multiple shoot proliferation was initiated from leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) and kinetin (KN) in c...

We examined the effectiveness of cocopeat and rice hull powder obtained from agricultural wastes as biocarriers for an oil-degrading bacterial consortium. Scanning electron microscopy revealed colonization and strong attachment of bacterial cells on the surface of both carriers. Results of a 60-day in vitro seawater bioremediation trial showed significant oil reduction and high cultivable bacte...

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cocopeat: perlite medium with three ratios (v/v) (1:1, 3:1 and 1:3) on some vegetative, flowering and biochemical parameters of two gladiolus cultivars (Strong and White) under soilless conditions in 2016. Data indicated that most vegetative parameters expressed as plant height, leaf number and leaf area, flowering parameter such as spike eme...

Abstract Soil degradation is a serious problem in Indonesia and the world. To solve such it can use coco peat derived from coconut fiber, which source very abundant Indonesia. The research aimed to understand impact of bio-textile application prevent run-off erosion indicated by cover crop growing. material used was cocopeat pressed block at dimension 30 cm x 2.5 thickness. It completed seed co...

The germination power of orchids (Orchidaceae family) seems to betoo weak due lack of albumen. The study carried out with various treatments including pollination time and GA3 for breaking dormancy and increasing seed germination of orchids. The effect of pollination time (8 periods from January to August) and gibberellic acid (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg L-1) were studied on germination of Phalae...
