This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of giving coffee fruit skin bokashi and bean sprout extract on the growth of Arabica coffee seedlings (Coffea arabica). This study was conducted from June to September 2024 at PT Sulotco Jaya Abadi. The experimental design used was factorial in a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two factors, namely coffee fruit skin bokashi (K) and bean sprout extract (T). The K factor consists of three treatment levels (K0 = 0 grams/polybag, K1 = 400 grams/polybag, K2 = 800 grams/polybag), while the T factor consists of three treatment levels (T0 = 0 ml/polybag, T1 = 300 ml/polybag, T2 = 600 ml/polybag). Each treatment combination was repeated three times so that there were 27 experimental units. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the effect of treatment and interaction between factors. This was then continued with an honest significant difference test (HSD) at the 5% level if there was a significant difference. The results showed that the combination of coffee fruit skin bokashi and bean sprout extract had a significant effect on the growth of Arabica coffee seedlings. The T2K2 treatment (600 ml bean sprout extract/polybag + 800 grams of coffee fruit skin bokashi/polybag) produced the best growth with a significant increase in plant height (12.33 cm), number of leaves (10.11 strands), leaf width (7.00 cm), root length (12.34 cm), and dry weight of the plant (3.34 g). This increase indicates that coffee fruit skin bokashi increases the availability of nutrients in the soil, while bean sprout extract acts as a natural bioactivator that stimulates plant growth through auxin and cytokinin content. Thus, the combination of coffee fruit skin bokashi and bean sprout extract can be an alternative organic fertilizer and natural growth regulator that is environmentally friendly and sustainable in Arabica coffee cultivation.

We investigated the efficacy of mung bean sprout in reducing hypertension. Different dosages of raw sprout extract (RSE) or dried sprout extracts (DSE) and enzyme-digested sprout extracts were used in a single intragastric administration test to examine the short-term effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Results indicated that high doses (600 mg peptide/kg body weight) extracts significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) of the rats after administration for 6–9, 3–6 and 3–9 h, respectively. Plasma angiotensin I-converting enzyme activities in the treated rats also decreased. A long-term (1 month) intervention study that consists of treatment groups of fresh sprout powder, dried sprout powder and concentrated extracts of the sprouts (RSE and DSE, respectively) was carried out. Results indicated that the sprout powders were not as efficacious as concentrated sprout extracts. SBP of the rats in the RSE and DSE groups were significantly reduced during the intervention period from week 1–4 and week 2–4, respectively. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The results suggested that although fresh and low doses of mung bean sprout or sprout extracts did not have apparent antihypertensive effects, high doses of sprout extracts significantly decreased blood pressure in the experimental animals. Therefore, concentrated mung bean sprout juice has potential applications in the preventive management of hypertension. It might be utilized for physiologically functional food with antihypertensive activity.

Indonesia has abundant horticultural commodities, including chilli plants, which have high economic value. However, their productivity remains low at 8.35 tons/ha, compared to the potential 20–40 tons/ha. To boost the productivity of red cayenne pepper, additional supplements such as phytohormones auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin are needed. This study uses natural sources of phytohormones derived from banana stems and mung bean sprouts. The aim is to measure the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of various combinations of these natural plant growth regulators (PGRs) to support plant productivity. An experimental design was used, analyzing antioxidant activity using the DPPH method with IC50 values, and total phenolics using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Six variations were tested: A (banana stem extract 10:0), B (banana stem:bean sprouts 8:2), C (6:4), D (4:6), E (2:8), and F (bean sprout extract 10:0). Antioxidant activity and total phenolics were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that variation C (6:4) had the highest total phenolic content (8.8 mg GAE/g) and an IC50 value of 210 ppm, indicating moderate antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that the combination of banana stem and bean sprout extracts in the right proportion can enhance the functional properties of natural PGRs, potentially supporting the growth and productivity of red cayenne pepper plants.

Liquid waste from processing cassava into tapioca starch is carbohydrate-rich waste and can be used as a growth medium for the Acetobacter xylinum, which is useful in producing one of the fermentation products, i.e. nata. Several factors influence the production of nata, one of them is the addition of nutrients in the form of nitrogen in the fermentation medium. The nitrogen source used is usually from inorganic fertilizers, such as urea and ammonium sulfate. In this study, fermentation of tapioca starch wastewater was developed, using a natural sources of nitrogen derived from soybean and green bean sprouts extract. Nata was made by treating various concentrations of soybean and green bean sprouts extract (3%, 4%, 5%) and fermentation time (6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days and 10 days). The characteristics of the nata product were seen from the thickness and yield of the nata. The nata de cassava product's optimum results were tested for thickness, yield, and moisture content. The results showed that the best type of natural nitrogen source was soybean sprouts extract 5%, fermentation time of 10 days with a thickness of 0.55 cm, the water content of 97.58%, and yield of 63.09%

Organic farming is now increasingly gaining attention as a solution to the challenges of environmental damage and the need for healthy food in the modern era. One important aspect of organic farming practices is the use of natural Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) to increase crop yields and quality. This study aims to examine the potential combination of red onion and bean sprout extracts as natural PGRs through total phenolic analysis and antioxidant activity as a reference basis for further application to potato plants. Extracts from both materials were obtained through the maceration method, then formulated in six different ratio comparisons and analyzed for their total phenolic content using the Folin–Ciocalteu method and their antioxidant activity through the DPPH test. The results showed that variation B (8 g/L red onion + 2 g/L bean sprouts) had the highest total phenolic content of 14.77 mg GAE/g and the strongest antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 173.7 ppm. The results were supported by the DMRT test, which showed significant differences between the combination variations. The content of natural hormones such as auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin in both materials works synergistically in stimulating the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as phenolics, which contribute to antioxidant activity and its effectiveness as a PGR. Thus, variation B has the highest potential to be developed as an environmentally friendly and sustainable natural PGR to support the growth and resistance of potato plants. This formulation shows promising potential for further development in the field of organic farming and nature-based agricultural innovation.
