Induction of genetic diversity in gepak kuning soybean cultivar and M.1.1.3 line using ethyl methane sulfonate in M1 generation

Abstract Genetic diversity is the main determining factor in plant breeding activities. Various breeding methods can be used to induce plant variability, including mutation breeding. The chemical mutagen commonly used for mutagenesis is Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS). This study explores the effects of EMS mutagen on the morphological and agronomic diversity of gepak kuning cultivar and M.1.1.3 soybean line. The research was conducted in Tambon Tunong Village, North Aceh District, Indonesia, using a single-factor Randomized Block Completely Design (RCBD). Concentrations of 0%, 0.05%, 0.075%, and 0.1% EMS were tested on the gepak kuning cultivar and M.1.1.3 line. Treating gepak kuning soybeans with EMS significantly impacted various variables, including harvesting age, pod number, seed weight, leaf appearance, and production. Additionally, the treatment resulted in changes in the morphology of the plant, particularly in the shape of its branches. The EMS treatment on M.1.1.3 line also significantly affected various variables like plant height, flowering age, harvesting age, and yield components. However, it led to sterile plants in the line.

Land use change analysis and the impact on the streamflow of the Keureuto River

The increasing of population is proportional to the natural resource’s exploitation. Over the past few decades, the activity has converted the natural land into agricultural and plantation fields, urbanized areas, and other types of use. In some watershed systems, land use conversion has reduced the system’s capability both in sustaining water resources and in preventing extreme runoff. Such is the case of the 302 km2 Krueng Keureuto Watershed which supports the water supply for the North Aceh District, both for irrigation and municipal use. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the land use change in the system and its impact on the streamflow. The land use is classified based on the Landsat satellite images of the year 2015 and 2021, using the Supervised Classification tool in ArcGIS. The impact is investigated using a Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS). The outlet is defined based on the Automatic Water Level Recording (AWLR) station downstream of the Keureuto River. A significant reduction of the forest is estimated at 27.67% in seven years. In contrast, the land use types such as urbanized areas, agricultural fields, and shrubs are increasing to 6.34%; 4.75%; and 5.75%, respectively. Based on the model simulation it is confirmed that the changes in land use have altered the river flow regime.

Aplikasi Pengukuran Penggunaan Prebiotik untuk Tanaman Jagung di Kabupaten Aceh Utara Menggunakan Metode Fuzzy Tsukamoto Berbasis Web

Corn, along with rice and wheat, is one of the world's most significant food crops. Crop failures are a common concern for farmers, and one of the causes is the use of unsuitable fertilizers, which can limit the growth of organs and plant structure as a whole. Because good corn plant growth and high yields require the use of good and appropriate fertilizer for corn plants, this system is designed to recommend fertilization for plants based on the variables required by plants, namely soil pH, air temperature, humidity, rainfall, rainy days, altitude area, solar radiation, and land area, as determined by the agricultural service. Where each value is calculated using a specified set of each criterion, namely little, medium, and high. The outcomes of these computations are the final result of this decision system, namely suggestions for fertilizer usage in liters to assist farmers in analyzing fertilizer use for corn plants in North Aceh District. As in prior works, Tsukamoto's fuzzy technique is applied in this decision-making system to handle data values with a very high level of uncertainty or ambiguity.
