Rough-skinned orange

Do not Remehkan the wrinkles Business Opportunities
A large demand supply rough-skinned orange, so the fresh air of the country. Can even be quite promising business opportunities. Unfortunately, this phenomenon did not read well by most people. It was evident from the frequent occurrence of lack of supply of rough-skinned citrus in the country, both for the local or export products.
"In any country, we still find difficulty in rough-skinned orange. In fact the demand is not only coming from within the country. Especially, for the company based its production of rough-skinned orange, "Orange said of the rough-skinned Batu - Malang, Prambudi.
Of at least rough-skinned citrus in the country, because of lack of information about the opportunities and benefits in general. Perform rough-skinned citrus cultivation, Prambudi words, not as the be. He even the rough-skinned citrus cultivation, only have capital knee alias not much capital.
Basic Treatment
In the rough-skinned citrus cultivation, according to Prambudi, basically not much difference with the lime treatment in general. Implementation of some treatment that can be done, which are:
1. Branch Trimming
During the trimming process, some of the factors considered. For example, the calculation of benefits that include stability, plant productivity, the ability of living and quality of fruit, the development of pest and disease treatment and obstructed the garden.
This is also dibarengi with the trimming technique, the primary crop and crop maintenance. For basic barbershop, is the trimming is done after the plant has higher than 60 cm. This is done with the goal to get the branching and form a better tree, so that may be in optimal ease and garden care.
Cutting the main stem, the shoot, and the selection and maintenance of the main branch of the stage base trimming. While for crop maintenance, carried out simultaneously or after the harvest. The goal is to maintain the health, stability and quality of fruit production, and for the renovation and establishment of tree profiles.
2. Fruit thinning
Thinning on the fruit trees that have dense aimed to improve fruit quality and stability in the next harvest season. That is, the ideal time for the thinning is done at the time of fruit diameter reached 1-2 cm.
3. Terms grow
Given that, viability and productivity, optimum treatment depends on the plant growth, then there are several factors that need to be. For example, climate, planting media, and the altitude. For the climate, for example. Wind speed of more than 40-48% will merontokkan flowers and fruit, so that the alternative to the intensity and speed of the wind more than the standard level, higher plants should be planted windbreak row perpendicular to the direction of the wind.
Demikan case with the implementation of the planting media. Ideally for the rough-skinned orange, good soil is sandy loam to clay with enough humus, water governance, and good air. Soil type and Latosol andosol is also another alternative that is suitable for citrus cultivation.
Is also supported with the ground water level is at the optimal depth of 150-200 cm below the soil surface, where crops like citrus salt water containing about 10%. Citrus plants can grow well in areas with a slope of about 30 °. In the case where the height, the plant for this type of rough-skinned citrus can be grown both in the height of 1-400 m dpl.
The process of
As the seed requirements of rough-skinned citrus seedlings planted came from ordinary vegetative multiplication, which is a continuation shoot tip, where the system of regular in this area and land pesawahan cycle. However, if planted in the hilly area, you can use to create an alternative planting sengkedan.
While for the land to be planted, should be cleaned from other plants or the remains of plants. To measure the distance ideally planting 6 × 7 m, is adjusted to the rough-skinned citrus character growth. In making the planting hole need any special techniques, ie can only be applied to the land that is not processed within 2 weeks, in which the land separated from the top layer (up to 25 cm).
"With applications coming from the ground up and mixed layer manure. After planting, the land returned to the place of origin. Similarly with bedengan size m 1 × 1x1 is only made if the rough-skinned citrus area of land planted in rice, "said Prambudi.
Unlike the other types of plants, planting techniques citrus seedlings can be planted in the rainy season or dry season. But, according to Prambudi, should be planted at the beginning of the rainy season. After the seeds ditaman, siram secukupnya and given mulsa straw, coconut leaves or leaves that are free of disease in the surrounding areas. Mulsa place in such a way, that does not touch the stem to avoid stem rot.
As an alternative overlapping essence - be in production before the plant - the plant mixture can be planted, such as nuts or vegetables. After each canopy cover, plant mixture was replaced by grass or ground cover plants legum which also functions as penambah nitrogen for citrus plants. [santi]

Treatment Plant

Tips treatment plant that is planted in the media hydrogel:

1. Use plants that can survive in the media hydrogel is that plants can survive in wet media, among other Aglaonema sp, Scindapsus sp, sp Cripthantus, Dracaena sp (emerald bamboo), Pilea cadieri (leaf-pearl), Anthurium sp, sp Diffenbachia, Philodendron sp, Cyperus sp (umbrella grass), Cordyline sp (various types of hanjuang) dll.
2. Get enough sunlight.
3. Sprinkling and fertilization can be done once a month. Use a fertilizer that does not damage the color of hydrogel (eg gandapan, hyponex) and use appropriate doses.
4. Avoid the sun's direct light, this is the color of pale hydrogel and mildew growth on the hydrogel. www.horties.com

Diversifikasi Penggunaan Cengkeh

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum(L) Merr & Perry) is one among spices which has been used for a long time in kretek cigarette, food, beverages and pharmacy industry. Parts of the tree which are used for the above purposes are clove bud, stem and leaf. The use of clove was then developed for cosmetic industry, and recently there were some research finding which show the opportunity of clove for other purposes such as fish anaesthetic and pest and diseases plant protection. The use of clove for the above purposes is because of clove bud, steam and leaf contain clove oil which have specific flavour and it can be used as the stimulan, anaesthetic, carminantive, antiemetic, antiseptic and antispasmodic. The use of clove in food, beverages and pharmacy industry is relatively stable, while in kretek cigarette industry it tends to decline. On the other hand the production and price of clove are fluctuated sharply, sometimes there are over supply. Diversification of clove untilization is hoped to solve the above problem, but it still needs further study on the technology, environment and economic aspects.

Phosphorus and potassium

Answer fertilizer Aglaonema Many say the perception that if Aglaonema have to use the elements of neutral / balanced at the macro-elements, especially NPK. But actually, there are two elements that provide the most influential effect on the adult Aglaonema. With phosphorus and potassium symbol P with symbol K, is the key to get keduannya Aglaonema berkualitas.Unsur NPK (Nitrogen phosphorus potassium) are the macro elements play an important role in growth, so that almost all the fertilizer will be taking this matter as important points. Only the number of sets is the composition of substances and the womb is entered terlarut. Differences in the composition of NPK condition that must be done to adjust to the age of the plant stage. For the time seeds, adolescents, adults, and have needs indukan element that is not the same macro. So for maximum growth, fertilizer demand should also adjust, to get results that match keinginan.Aglaonema is unique, because the growth of the plant attempted to produce a healthy plant and capable of removing the character color. Here, the needs of both factors that can be filled with the elements on P and K that have a larger composition. However, it does not mean Nitrogen (N) be overlooked, because the elements are needed, but for the needs of adults age Aglaonema element is not too besar.Unsur P in the form of H2 PO4-HPO4-2 is very important to the process of respiration in the bottom surface of the leaf through stomata . Next to regeneration, the cells form a division. Phosphorus also plays an important role in the preparation and nukleat acid molecule ATP to transfer energi.Baik occur when the process is happening in the leaf surface, such as respiration and energy transfer, the structure of the auto also follow. On Aglaonema leaves will make the leaves look more shine and color out more. For, P also supports the process of photosynthesis as the food-processing factory in tanaman.Gejala shortages will cause the P element, the color is dark green leaves from the normal. In addition, the leaves at the bottom of the often colorful keunguan, especially among the bone-bone leaf. Parahnya, critical stage in the leaves will look withered fragile and easily, such as not have the strength to stand and eventually prevent the growth of new leaves aglaonema.Dari explanation that, clearly it is important to meet the matrix P in the pot glaonema. For, as the plant is kept in a pot circulation element burly lower than planting in the ground, so that must be provided with additional elements of NPK fertilizer. Apart from chemicals, P elements can be added to the organic humus from bamboo leaves, but please be sterilisasinya to avoid bacteria entering the other elements also play an important role is potassium (K) in the form of a K + ion are dissolved in ground water. Potassium will provide assistance for the formation of protein and carbohydrate. In addition, the plant at the same time strengthen jarngan form of anti-body to fight disease. Element also activate the enzyme, which mainly concentrated on the network meristem. The lack of this element will create a clear easy to plant disease and this will damage the beauty of Aglaonema. Can change the structure of leaves and yellow leaves starting from the edge to the center / middle and eventually die. At the root of the stunt will be a reduction in the ability to absorb food, so the plant will be lack of nutrition. Avoid it, certainly there must be more elements of K Feed the disease-resistant plants to make and have a strong structure, both from the stem, leaf or leaf stalk. To select the P and K content is higher, is easy. In addition to asking the pejual, can be also seen on the packaging. When buying fertilizer, will be seen three-digit combination of a line. 10-15-18 For example, this combination indicates the degree of sequentially, from the N, P, and K. Thus, the degree unsurnya is 10% N-, P-15% and K-18%.[bayu]
