This study was designed to examine the characteristics of sawdust and cocopeat bedding materials, including physicochemical properties (Exp. I) and on-farm trial (Exp. II). In Exp. I, the proportion of particle size was in the order of sawdust> cocopeat India>cocopeat Vietnam (p<0.05), and cocopeat contained higher proportion of small particles (250 μm+below 250 μm) than sawdust, causing a dust...

Hydroponics culture have many advantages such as increased yield, health and uniform product, conservation of water and land , better protect , control of environmental pollution and reduce of workers for cultivation. So in recently years, usage of organic and inorganic substrates obtained more important for greenhouse owners and researchers. The aim of this study was Effects of culture substra...

This research aimed to determine the root morphology of several sorghum varieties on Ultisol soil-medium treated with cocopeat. The was carried out at Greenhouse Faculty Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan, from April 2019 January 2020. used a randomized block design two factorials and three replications. Factor I planting medium (topsoil, Ultisol, + 1 kg Cocopeat, 2 Cocopeat). II So...

abstract in order to investigate the effect of different ratios of cocopeat and vermicompost as a cultural media on seed emergence and some qualitative and quantitative characteristics of sweet pepper transplant (cv. colifornia wonder). the treatments include: vermicompost + cocopeat (3:1), vermicompost + cocopeat (1:3), vermicompost + cocopeat (1:1) (v/v) and normal soil of transplant. the tre...

Cocopeat machines that have been developed today, were carried out with variations in the speed of rotation, blade length, shape, and treatment objects (coconut coir immersion). There has no development a cocopeat machine focuses on density. It is suspected density affects to difference mass produced. This study was true experiment. The dependent variable mass. independent variables density, co...

The persistence of Shiga-like toxin producing E. coli (STEC) strains in the agricultural soil creates serious threat to human health through fresh vegetables growing on them. However, the survival of STEC strains in Indian tropical soils is not yet understood thoroughly. Additionally how the survival of STEC strain in soil diverges with non-pathogenic and genetically modified E. coli strains is...
