tabulampot
Methods of cultivation of fruit plants in pots (tabulampot) are made to meet the challenges of limited land. Fruit trees are usually tall with roots in. These plants need space to grow large enough. It is certainly difficult for urban dwellers with limited land.
Since the 1970s, developing methods of growing fruit in a confined environment or also known as tabulampot. This method continues to grow, both in terms of technology as well as the number of types of fruit trees that can be used tabulampot.
Today many berkemang nursery that provides seed-nusery tabulampot. Even in a variety of agricultural fairs, tabulampot always a favorite target. Tabulampot for hobbyists interested in functional as well as aesthetic reasons.
The types tabulampot
Almost all types of fruit trees can be grown in the form of tabulampot. But not all tabulampot can produce fruit. Because certain types of plants can not bear fruit in tabulampot environment, such as avocado plants.

Technical guides koi fish farming
Koi fish is a type of carp or carp, Cyprinus Caprio scientific name. This fish resulting from cross-breeding of various kinds of goldfish. Koi fish popularized by the Japanese. Many versions which explains the origin of koi fish.
In Indonesia, koi became popular since the 1960s. At that time, President Sukarno was rewarded with a wide variety of koi fish by Chinese leaders. Then the President gave the fish to the fish farmers in Batu, East Java, to be bred. This seed became the forerunner of the development of local koi.
Although the quality of the local koi still underestimated, the development of the koi fish farming continues to grow. Koi fish farming is well developed in the area of ​​Blitar, East Java. From time to time, local koi fish are increasing in quality. Increasingly open market share for the farmers with more expensive imported koi. Local koi fish become more competitive in terms of price.
Raising koi is quite easy to do. Its phases is almost equal to the cultivation of carp. It's just that becomes crucial is the availability of quality seeds. This time alamtani discuss the steps koi fish farming.
Selecting sires for koi fish farming
Selecting sires plays an important role in the cultivation of koi fish. Good breeders will produce offspring genetically nice, so generally legal approx. Quality breeders are usually owned by breeders or hobbyists. When trouble finding good breeders, with jalam can borrow from the hobbyist.
Koi fish hobbyists usually collect quality, both for itself and for the contest maintained. But the average hobbyist does not have the skills or time to marry the fish. In fact, to keep the fish stay fit one of them should be mated when the time came.
Here farmers can work with fish owners. Where the owners benefit because the fish can be mated and farmers can get quality offspring. In return, usually the owner are welcome to choose one or two fish the marriage.

A practical guide to the cultivation of melons
Melon (Cucumis melo) is included in the rate-timunan cucumber. Still a relative with watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumber. As with other tribes cucumber-timunan, melon vines grow but can not climb. If not supported, it will grow creeping plants above the soil surface.
The place is ideal for the cultivation of melons in the range of 250-700 meters above sea level altitude. If the height is less than 250 meters, melon plants tend to produce small fruit. While on the plateau with temperatures below 18oC, this plant is difficult to grow.
Melon plants require humidity level of 50-70%. The average temperature suitable for melon cultivation ranges from 25-30oC with rainfall 1500-2500 mm / year. Melon fruit quality will be even better if there is a difference of day and night temperature is quite significant.
Type melon
Very diverse types of melon. However, only three popular cultivars cultivated, namely reticalatus, inodorus and cantalupensis.
Reticalatus. This type of melon is the most popular cultivar. Rounded shape with green rind and texture berjala, such as coated webs. Fruit flesh colored light green to orange.
Inodorus. This type has a smooth rind not berjala. Rounded to oval shape. Fruit skin color pale yellow to greenish yellow. No flesh color is green, orange to white. The meat was not flavorful fruit.
Cantalupensis. This species has a bumpy rind like pumpkin, or called berjuring. Fruit flesh is yellow or orange, very strong aroma. Included in this type of cantaloupe.
Melon plant nursery
Melon crops for cultivation generative usually propagated from seed or seeds. For the cultivation of one hectare required melon plant seeds around 16000-20000 trees, equivalent to 500-700 grams of melon seeds.

Technical guide dragon fruit cultivation
Dragon fruit cactus plants are grouped into families. Although known as the fruit of Asia, this plant originally from Mexico, Central America and South America. In 1870, the French brought the dragon fruit from Guyana to Vietnam as an ornamental plant. Because it tastes sweet, dragon fruit is eaten widely in Vietnam and China.
In Indonesia, dragon fruit became popular since 2000.'s Not clear exactly who was first developed it. It is estimated that dragon fruit coming into our country from Thailand and cultivated by hobbyists plants sporadically.
Currently there are several species of dragon fruit plants are widely cultivated. The types of fruit that is popular:
Hylocereus undatus red skin with white flesh
Hylocereus polyrhisus red skin with red flesh
Hylocereus costaricensis red skin with red flesh rather thick purplish
Hylocereus megelanthus yellow skin with white flesh.
Dragon fruit cultivation is very suitable to the climatic conditions and the nature of Indonesia. This plant grows optimally at an altitude of 0-350 meters above sea level with rainfall of about 720 mm per year. The air temperature is ideal for the growth of dragon fruit ranged 26-36 degrees Celsius.
Choosing the dragon fruit seedlings
Dragon fruit plants can be propagated by generative and vegetative. Generative way that plants reproduce from seeds. Seeds taken by removing the seeds from the selected dragon fruit. This method is a little difficult and is usually done by experienced breeders.
Vegetative means relatively more widely used because it is easier. Dragon fruit cultivation by vegetative means more quickly bear fruit. In addition, the properties of the parent plant may simply decline to his son. Here are the steps penyetekkan dragon fruit:
Penyetekkan made ​​to the trunk or branch of a plant that never bear fruit, at least 3-4 times. This allows the cuttings to produce results more quickly and productivity has been discovered from the results of previous pieces.

How to make liquid organic fertilizer

By: alamtani.com

This time alamtani will discuss how to make liquid organic fertilizer. Liquid organic fertilizer in this discussion refers to the notion of organic fertilizer compost danpupuk discussed in a previous article. In short it can be said is a liquid organic fertilizer liquid fertilizer berfasa made from organic materials through composting process.

Why should be emphasized is that? Because we view organic fertilizer not only has the function as nutrient providers, but also work to improve the environment around the plant, either physical, chemical, and biological. Therefore, organic fertilizer is not just made of organic materials, but should also work well on plants organically. Not to be confused with a liquid organic fertilizer which many in the market. Where fertilizers are made from organic materials but does not involve the manufacture of biological decomposition process, but rather use a physical process, such as heating, extraction, evaporation and others.

There are two types of liquid organic fertilizer that is made through the composting process. The first is a liquid organic fertilizer which is prepared by dissolving the organic fertilizers that have been finished or semi-finished into the water. Type of fertilizer that can be dissolved green manure, farmyard manure, compost or a mixture of everything. This kind of liquid organic fertilizer characteristics are not much different from the solid organic fertilizer, only its form is a liquid. In language more easily, something like tea dipped in water and then the water is used as fertilizer.

PendahuluanKita know the lyrics of the song: "Sticks timber so the plant .." This illustrates just how lush and support conditions in Indonesia for berbudidaya. Wooden sticks (cassava stem cuttings) planted only then can grow by itself. Conventional cultivation techniques is still mostly done by Indonesian farmers. Progress in cassava cultivation techniques originally just doing tillage and fertilization. At least that's been done by the farmers in general in Indonesia. Even in cultivation often conflated between harvest the leaves as a salad or vegetable to be made with wood harvested tubers. In such conditions the productivity is highly dependent on soil conditions and fertility as well as climatic and environmental conditions of cultivation. At first solving the problem based on environmental constraints, such as limited water and nutrient conditions the growth of stems and leaves that grow are limited to one and two rods, as well as a potential root tuber with limited timber so the roots are not too much that can be focused on the allocation of food some existing timber bulbs. In this condition, the strategy is successful berbudidaya with existing environmental constraints. So the limiting environmental conditions in wooden tuber productivity. The more days the understanding and knowledge of plant physiology, biological and environmental processes are more intelligent then humans modify the environment in order to support better plant growth. This will be discussed in this paper so that the productivity of cassava which can range initially only 20-40 tonnes / hectare, it is starting a lot to do with the productivity of cassava cultivation of 60-100 tons / hectare. Even recently there were claims that they are capable of producing 600-800 tonnes / hectare.
In this paper I just want to elaborate on that when all the factors that can improve plant growth as well as a variety of treatments that can improve the productivity done, the results would be amazing. I will attempt to describe in terms of plant physiology and treatments that can improve the growth and productivity of cassava produced.
 Basic Principles
Again we have to base the theory that the end result (Productivity) depends on Plant Genetics, environmental conditions and cultivation management.

            Productivity = Genetic + Environmental + Management
