Red chili (Capsicum annum L.) is a vegetable that has high economic value. However, red chili production has decreased because of seed deterioration, such as expired seeds. Seed invigoration attempts to maintain seed germination ability when it has deteriorated. Extracts of onion and banana weevil can be used for invigoration. The research aimed to know the effect of various natural hormones, soaking time, and interaction of the two treatments of expired red chili seeds on germination, growth, and production.

The cultivation of energy crops and the use of biomass ash are part of a sustainable energy economy and have a major impact on the environment. Biomass ash can be used as a soil conditioner due to its chemical composition with essential micro- and macronutrients and has a proven positive effect on the physicochemical properties of soils. With the increasing interest and use of bioenergy species, the production of biomass ash is also increasing and is expected to increase further in the future.

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a vegetable commodity that contributes greatly to horticultural production and inflantion levels. The use of superior seeds is expected to produce maximum shallot production. The majority of Indonesian farmers use 30% of the harvested tubers as planting material, with production costs being quite expensive. Many shallot farmers also experience several problems with tuber seeds that are hollow and damaged. True Shallot Seeds can be an efficient and profitable altervative planting material.

Trichoderma is very important as a bio control agent and probably a good alternative for chemical fungicides. Fusarium oxysporum is a plant pathogen that causes wilt in a wide range of plants. The use of gamma irradiation can be employed to increase Trichoderma efficiency against F. oxysporum. The induced mutation provides genetic changes in Trichoderma and in some of the mutated isolates the efficiency of bio control may be improved. In this study the efficiency of mutated T. harzianum CS5 against the F. oxysporum f.sp. radicis-cucumerinum was evaluated. Among 16 wild isolates of Trichoderma,

Potato is an important food crop with high water-use-efficiency but low drought tolerance. The bottleneck in drought tolerance breeding is phenotyping in managed field environments. Fundamental research on drought tolerance is predominantly done in container-based test systems in controlled environments. However, the portability of results from these systems to performance under field conditions is debated. Thus, we analyzed the effects of climate conditions, container size, starting material, and substrate on yield and drought tolerance assessment of potato genotypes compared to field trials.
