Interactions between plant growth promoting microorganisms (pgpm) and biochar

Abstract

Rhizobia are frequently used in the agriculture sector to enhance legume growth and improve soil fertility. There is growing interest in utilizing biological nitrogen fixation as a means of increasing the potential for sustainable intensification of food production whilst simultaneously reducing environmental damage caused by overuse of chemical fertilisers. Biochar, a recalcitrant carbon-rich product of pyrolysis which may be added to soil as a fertilizer or as a soil improver, alters soil physico-chemical properties usually by acting as a liming agent, by increasing water holding capacity or by modifying cation exchange capacity. The effects of biochar on the soil microbial community are not fully understood. Therefore, the main aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of biochar on the Rhizobium-legume relationship and determine whether biochar could increase legume growth. To achieve this aim, a series of growth experiments were carried out under controlled conditions .....

Synergistic effects of biochar and peat moss on growth of choy sam (Brassica Rapa L.)

Asilah Abdul Mutalib

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to determine the synergistic effects of biochar and peat moss on growth and soil-plant interaction of choy sam. It was implemented at the Soil Science Laboratory, Sultan Idris Education University. The plants were treated with different amount of biochar (0g and 20g) and peat moss (0g and 20g). Parameters of the sample such as root and shoot length, plant biomass, soil pH and soil moisture content were analysed after 44 days of transplanting. Total of experimental units were 20 pots. The experimental design used in this experiment was Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD). Data were analysed by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) (SAS University Edition) and means were compared using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) with significance level (P ). Results in the experiment showed that soil amendment with biochar and peat moss applications did not affect any growth parameter studied such as root and shoot length, plant biomass, soil pH and soil moisture.....

Effects of phosphate solubilizers and biochar on growth and yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

Asilah Abdul Mutalib

Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the effects of phosphate solubilizers and biochar on growth and yield of tomato plants. For this purpose, a 4×3 factorial experiment based on Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replications were conducted in the growth room. In this factorial experiment, 4 levels of phosphate solubilizer bacteria (B1, B2, Bmix and Control) and 3 levels of biochar (Powder, Large Size, and Control) were applied on tomato plants to identify changes in growth parameters and yield. Results were analysed using Genstat Statistical Package (16th Edition). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were conducted to test the effects of each factor and their interactions. Subsequently, Tukey test was used to compare the treatments means at P..

Boon or bane: A systematic review of virtual reality application in landscape architecture design stage

Asilah Abdul Mutalib

Abstract

The application of Virtual Reality (VR) in the design process has gained growing attention as the technology accelerates the potential of designing spaces in the landscape architecture field, particularly for educational purposes. As VR can be described as a computer-generated environment that closely resembles reality, its application may expand the visual sense and comprehension in promoting natural interaction between humans and the environment. However, the potential and limitations of integrating VR applications in landscape architecture design are still being determined. Therefore, the study aims to evaluate the potentials and limitations of VR application in the landscape architecture design stage where VR technology is currently applied. Forty (40) papers were thoroughly reviewed using PRISMA as a systematic literature review tool. The study found that VR enhances visualisation, immersion, interactivity, and spatial thinking in the landscape design process. However, the applica.....

Tahap kemahiran al-quran dalam kalangan Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) di dearah Kota Bharu

Asilah Solehah Mat Razali

Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan mengenalpasti tahap penguasaan Kemahiran al-Quran pelajar di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan di daerah Kota Bharu dari sudut bacaan, hafazan dan penguasaan dalam ilmu tajwid dan ilmu al-Quran. Reka bentuk kajian ini adalah menggunakan kaedah kualitatif iaitu beradasarkan pemerhatian daripada rakaman yang dibuat manakala kaedah kauntitatif bagi mengumpul data melalui instrumen yang digunakan iaitu set soal selidik dan soalan ujian bagi mengukur tahap kemahiran al-Quran murid. Sampel kajian ini adalah melibatkan seramai 108 orang murid yang telah mengambil subjek Kelas Kemahiran Membaca dan Menghafaz al-Quran (KKQ) dari beberapa buah sekolah di daerah Kota Bharu. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif iaitu kekerapan, peratusan, dan min dan data inferensi bertujuan untuk melihat sejauh mana perbezaan kemahiran yang diperoleh berdasarkan demografi responden dari sudut jantina dan kekerapan membaca al-Quran. Hasil dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa nilai interpretasi min bagi ke.....
