Results showed that the application of Trichoderma significantly increased plant height, number of leaves, and leaf area up to 28 days after planting.

Optimal Nutrient Combination: The study found that using a combination of Trichoderma and ABmix at a concentration of 50% resulted in the highest increase in harvested wet weight, harvested dry weight, and harvest index. Additionally, using one-third of shrimp pond water for planting media produced the highest growth.

Potential of Trichoderma Consortium: The study suggests that Trichoderma has the potential to effectively increase the growth and production of mustard greens in hydroponic cultivation. It could also be a viable substitute for chemical nutrients, promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable farming practices.
Potential of Aspergillus flavus Isolated from Marginal Saline Soil as a Biofertilizer Agent: A Comparative Study with Trichoderma esperellum
Authors: Hasanah Risalatul , Sutarman Sutarman
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to assess the potential of Aspergillus flavus, isolated from marginal saline soil, as a biofertilizer agent by comparing its in vitro diversity with the biological agent Trichoderma esperellum (collected from the UMSIDA Microbiology and Biotechnology Laboratory). The research was conducted at the Microbiology and Biotechnology Laboratory, University of Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. Macroscopic and microscopic morphological tests were performed on Aspergillus flavus isolated from rice root soil. The sensitivity test of the biological agents on saline soil showed no influence on their growth. Notably, the findings indicated that Aspergillus flavus exhibited faster growth on saline soil compared to its growth on PDA-c media. Moreover, the combination of PDA-c and saline soil in ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 significantly enhanced the growth response of A. flavus by 50% and 70%, respectively, two days after inoculation. These results suggest the promising potential of Aspergillus flavus as a biofertilizer agent to enhance soil fertility in saline environments. 

Highlights:

Potential of Aspergillus flavus: The study aimed to determine the potential of the fungus Aspergillus flavus, isolated from marginal saline soil, as a biofertilizer agent. The research activity included comparing its diversity in vitro with the biological agent Trichoderma esperellum.

Morphological Tests: The fungus Aspergillus flavus was subjected to macroscopic and microscopic morphological tests. Morphological observations of the growth of biological agents were carried out macroscopically and microscopically.

Sensitivity of Biological Agents: The test of the sensitivity of biological agents on saline soils showed no influence on the growth of biological agents on saline soil media.

Authors: Ramadhani Aditya , Widodo Edi
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the influence of immersing sansivera fibers in varying ratios of KOH compounds on the mechanical properties of the composite. The methods involve KOH preparation, composite fabrication, and tensile testing with six specimens. Results indicate that a 20% KOH mixture yields the highest values: tensile stress strength of 275N/mm², tensile strain of 3.7mm, elastic modulus of 4910.7N/mm², and maximum load of 42.3N. The immersion of sansivera fibers in the KOH compound mixture significantly affects the composite's mechanical characteristics.

Highlights:

Study on the impact of KOH compound immersion on mechanical properties of the composite.

Varying KOH compound ratios (10%-60%) and their influence on tensile stress strength, elastic modulus, and maximum load.

Identification of the optimal 20% KOH mixture with the highest mechanical properties.

Published: November 2023

This study focuses on enhancing the safety and durability of AlMgSi, a research reactor fuel cladding/structural material, through surface hardening using the plasma nitriding method. The goal is to improve the material's resistance to corrosion while maintaining its integrity under nuclear reactor conditions. AlMgSi samples were nitrided at 448 K for varying times, and the workpiece with the highest surface hardness underwent corrosion and composition tests. The results demonstrated a significant increase in surface hardness by 49% (from 62.35 VHN to 92.79 VHN) and a notable reduction in corrosion rate by 69% (from 11.22 mpy to 3.51 mpy) after plasma nitriding for 3 hours at 448 kelvin.
Highlights:

Significantly improved surface hardness: Plasma nitriding at 448 K for 3 hours resulted in a remarkable 49% increase in surface hardness, enhancing the material's resistance to wear and deformation.

Effective corrosion protection: The plasma-nitrided AlMgSi exhibited a notable 69% decrease in corrosion rate, ensuring the material's longevity and safety under harsh reactor environments.

Enhanced nitrogen content: The nitrogen content in AlMgSi increased from 0 to 5.13% atoms after the nitriding process, contributing to the material's improved mechanical and chemical properties.
