This study compares the clinicopathological changes in red hybrid tilapia experimentally infected with S. agalactiae or S. iniae. A total of 180 tilapias were divided into six groups. Groups 1A, 2A, and 3A were inoculated intraperitoneally with sterile phosphate-buffered saline, S. agalactiae, and S. iniae. Fish of Groups 1A, 2A, and 3A were then immediately allowed to cohabitate with fish of Groups 1B, 2B, and 3B, respectively. All fish were observed at 6-hr intervals for 120 hr before surviving fish were euthanized. The spleen, liver, and brain samples were collected for bacterial isolation and histopathology. Clinical signs were developed at 72 hr in Groups 2A and 3A and 96 hr in Groups 2B and 3B. Group 2A showed the highest clinical score (P<0.05). Significantly (P<0.05), more cohabitating fish (Groups 2B) were infected by S. agalactiae compared to S. iniae (Group 3B) at 55.0±0.0 and 43.70±1.25%, respectively. The mortality rate was significantly (P<0.05) higher for Groups 2A and 2B than other groups. The gross lesions were significantly (P<0.05) more common in fish of Group 2A. Histopathologically, encephalitis was observed in fish infected with S. iniae of Groups 3A and 3B, while meningoencephalitis was observed in fish infected with S. agalactiae of Groups 2A and 2B. The findings suggest that S. agalactiae is more pathogenic than S. iniae, producing slightly different histopathological lesions in the brain.","PeriodicalId":19890,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47333347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasing its oil yield during oil extraction is important due to its high value. However, conventional techniques such as screw press extraction pose a limitation in terms of oil yield. Thus, in this study, the seeds were pre-treated in a microwave and hot air oven prior to oil extraction. The effects of this pre-treatment on the oil yield, fatty acid profile, antioxidant profile, and physicochemical properties were compared. Microwave treatment (4 min) was found to have the highest oil yield (43.39%) compared to control (37.76%). The proximate analysis revealed that the protein content in the oil meal was high (51–60%) compared to oil seed (24.2%), indicating that it has potential application to be developed into plant-based protein foods. The fatty acid profile indicates that the oil had high omega 3 (49%) and omega 6 (37%) fatty acids. The free fatty acids and peroxide values of the pre-treated oil samples were less than 1% and 10 meq O2/kg oil, respectively, compared to the control (1%), while the iodine value was high due to double bonds. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-1picrylhydrazyl and 2,2´-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid study shows that the oil has good radical scavenging activity (70 and 90%), which shows the oil’s potential in functional food applications.","PeriodicalId":19890,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45420896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the methods to mitigate the problem is incorporating rice plants with fungi such as Trichoderma. This study evaluated the effects of encapsulated Trichoderma asperellum (UPM 40) on the growth and yield of rice plants planted in saturated and flooded soil conditions in response to drought stress. A randomized complete block factorial design was implemented with four replications and two factors. The first factor was encapsulated T. asperellum (UPM 40) concentration of 0 and 5 g. The second factor was the soil condition: saturated and flooded soil. The drought stress was imposed by halting watering during early anthesis for 14 days and resumed afterward. One of the significant interaction effects detected was on the relative water content of rice plants planted in flooded soil conditions and treated with T. asperellum (UPM 40), where the value was 78.51%, higher than the control of 72.09%, which showed the ability of the fungus to help rice plants alleviate detrimental effects of drought stress and delay the onset of adverse effects of drought stress. Thus, it contributed to the crop’s simultaneous improvement in rice yield compared to untreated plants in saturated soil. Applying 5 g encapsulated T. asperellum (UPM 40) to the rice plants would perform best in flooded soil conditions during drought stress.","PeriodicalId":19890,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48919616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies reported that stingless bee (kelulut) honey and its products were contaminated with pathogenic bacteria during harvesting and processing. This research aims to isolate and identify the pathogenic bacteria in kelulut honey. Forty-eight samples of kelulut honey (open and closed pot) and propolis were obtained from selected farms in Terengganu by focusing on a major stingless bee species available in Malaysia, Heterotrigona itama. In addition, the swabbing technique was done on the wooden beehive of the kelulut to evaluate the environmental contamination. The pathogenic bacteria were isolated using specifically selected agar, such as Bacillus cereus agar (for B. cereus), Baird-Parker agar (for Staphylococcus aureus), and MacConkey agar (for other pathogenic bacteria), which were confirmed through a biochemical test. All samples were analysed, and the results showed that B. cereus (7/48), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10/48), Pantoea spp. (11/48), Serratia plymuthica (6/48), and S. aureus (9/48) were obtained in the samples. This study indicates that kelulut honey was contaminated with B. cereus, P. aeruginosa, Pantoea spp., S. plymuthica, and S. aureus. Isolated pathogenic bacteria may exist in the kelulut honey through food handlers, utensils, and the environment. Hence, the stakeholders should strictly follow good standard operating procedures and guidelines by the kelulut honey industry to prevent foodborne illness.","PeriodicalId":19890,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47603865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of bokashi fertilizer (BF) on industrial crops is still not popular, and farmers rely mostly on chemical fertilizers (CFs) that are costly and hazardous to the environment. This research was conducted at Hevea plantation, Universiti Putra Malaysia, between August 2020–October 2021. The study was to assess the short-term effects of BF with reduced NPK fertilization on soil fertility, growth, and yield of rubber. Seven treatments (T) were involved. T1, T2, and T3 denote 4, 8, and 12 kg BF per pit. T4 was 1 kg NPK as control, whereas T5, T6, and T7 denote 4, 8, and 12 kg BF + 500 g NPK per pit, respectively. The variables observed included total nitrogen (TN%), total phosphorus (TP%), organic carbon (OC%), organic matter (OM%), exchangeable cations, microbial counts, tree girth, and dry rubber yield. The major findings indicated that applying 12 kg BF has raised the soil’s TN%, OC%, and OM% by 165, 171.4, and 172.0%, respectively, compared to NPK control. Also, adding 4 kg BF + 500 g NPK has increased the soil’s cation exchange capacity and TP% values by 107.8 and 42.9%, respectively, compared to the control. Adding sole bokashi increased the bacterial population by 22.2–133.3%. Rubber yield was better on trees treated with 12 kg BF, though this did not differ significantly from other treatments. Therefore, applying 12 kg BF or 4 kg BF + 500 g NPK can improve soil fertility and save costs from using inorganic fertilizer by at least 50%.","PeriodicalId":19890,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49164310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laundry greywater and biodegradable vegetable waste are rich in nutrients essential for plant growth. Thus, this research aims to investigate the effects of greywater organomineral fertilizer (OMF) on the chili plants’ growth and yield performance in the fertigation system. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design under the rain shelter. OMF produced from laundry water and vegetable waste was applied with chemical fertilizer (CF) in different ratios, including 100% CF (T1, control), 75% CF + 25% OMF (T2), 50% CF + 50% OMF (T3), 25% CF + 75% OMF (T4), and 100% OMF (T5). Results showed that the combined use of CF and OMF produced non-significantly different chili plants from those solely treated by CF. Interestingly, chili plants treated with 50% CF and 50% OMF increased the yield by 4.71% compared to CF. Chili plants treated with 25% and 50% OMF showed non-significantly different plant height, stem diameter, plant dry weight, fruit number, and proximate composition of fruits over those treated with 100% CF. Solely application of OMF produced similar chili as CF in terms of fruit quality. The present study shows that plant performance and yield of chili were improved after the application of CF and OMF at a ratio of 50:50. It can be concluded that OMF has the potential to be used as an alternative for replacing 50% of chemical fertilizer in chili fertigation system without affecting its growth and yield.","PeriodicalId":19890,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43606465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
