Tomato Farm

How to Reconditioning of Tomato Farm

Tomato naturally can grow in open field, but tomato should be planted in a certain season and certain condition in order can grow optimal. Because tomato have many diseases can attack this plant, on planting this plant should use a right plating management and especially for new farmer should use a consultant that will guide how to planted correctly and the farmer then can duplicate the planting procedure for the next time.

Tomato plant cultivation also depend on the season condition, so for natural farmer will know the complete knowledge on how to plant correctly after they have experience of planting of certain plant for one year duration or even more. So their knowledge will practice repeatedly on the next beginning season cycles on the year.

Many diseases that can attack tomato plant that usually different tomato disease on certain season and will more kind of diseases on dry season because of diseases spreading by the winds blow on dry season. To overcome this condition, the farmer usually uses a green house to avoid the spreading diseases from other field. Green house is covering the plant with a plastic and arrange the air circulation in and out of the green house. Using a green house at least will limit the diseases that enter to their tomatoes plant, and also will produce more of qualified tomato. The example plantation that use green house system is as on the picture below:

House Plant and Bonsai

House Plant

Plant are grown indoors either for their foliage or for their flowers, Some plants – such as fern and begonias – provide year-round decoration, other – such as Either lilies, and tulips –are excellent for seasonal display. More than 1000 plant species thrive indoors when grown under the proper conditions. Such condition – the amount of light, heat, humidity, water, and soil – vary for different types of plants. For instance, cacti must have full sun exposure, but African violets thrive best in diffuse light, asparagus fern can tolerate a cool room, but orchids require a warm, humid environment.

Although most plants are acquired already potted, they also can be grown from seeds or from leaf cuttings from another plant. Plants that have already been potted do not need to be disturbed until their roots have out grown the container or the minerals and nutrients have been depleted from the soil.

Bonsai Plant

Bonsai is the ancient Japanese art of dwarfling and shaping plants in small containers to obtain miniaturized versions of nature species. A bonsai tree may be only 30 cm (1 ft) tall but otherwise be a replica of a tree in nature.

The art of the bonsai originated perhaps more than 1,000 years ago in China. Early Japanese aristocrats showed a fondness for bonsai and contributed greatly to its development. Bonsai culture was first popular in the United States among Japanese-Americans, but it is now widely practice.

Bonsai can be classified according to their size as miniature, less than 15 cm (6 in) tall; small 15-30 cm (6-12 in); medium 31-60 cm (12-24 in); and large more than 60 cm. The shape of bonsai can be used to group them into five basic style; formal upright; chokkan; informal upright; moyogi; slanting; shakan; semi cascade; han-kengai; and cascade, kengai.

Indonesian Fruit and Vegetables

Many Plant can Grow in Tropical Climate

Indonesia located in equator line, so locate in tropical area, the area that always have sun light, and always hot. But the temperature still on stabilize condition mean there are no wide temperature range. Fruit and vegetables that is grown in this area also limited to the tropical fruit and very different with subtropical area.

There are two season on tropical area wet season or rainy season and dry season. Rainy season have longer duration time than dry season, so this make the farmer sometime just can plant a limited vegetable that can grow in rainy season. Vegetable fruit like tomato, potato, pineapple, papaya and many others.

The price of that fruit always up and down and not stabilize. This fruit just good growing when the season is not to wet. If the season to wet or on rainy season, those fruit can not good growing, and even die. When the season is good for planting all the farmer plant for those vegetable fruit like tomato, chili, onion, egg plant and many others, and when harvesting time come the price of that vegetable fruit will down. Sometime the farmer will loos because of this price changes fast, and after harvesting the farmer must pay their owe to supplier for chemicals, drug, seed and many others needed for cultivation.

Rafflesia Arnoldii

Rafflesia Arnoldii Flower

Rafflesia Flower

Indonesia's rain forests, one of the oldest and richest on earth are dominated by dipterocarp trees in whose shelter have evolved plants with giant flowers that rank among the greatest wonders of the natural world. Two plants in particular are renowned not only for their size, but also for their spectacular shapes, textures and odors. Rafflesia flower have bad smell so this flower called as Bunga Bangkai in Indonesia.

Giants Flowers of the World

These plant were brought to the notice of the world in the 19th century. Rafflesia Arnoldii was named after Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore, and his physician Joseph Arnold, who found it while exploring the foothills near Bengkulu in 1818. An Italian explorer, Odoardo Beccari, was the first to describe the titan arum. A. titanium, in 1878, in both instances, their description were initially greeted with disbelieft, Rafflesia flower are one meter across and weight nearly seven kilograms, while the titan arum's inflorescence grows to over two meters in height (3.3 meters has been recorded).

Benefit of Fungi

Fungi as Decomposition Organism

Decomposition becomes an ecologically important process in nature. It can be a nuisance in everyday life. People have capitalized on fungal strengths, using them to ferment raw materials and produce food, averages, drugs, vitamins, and other useful chemicals. Other of interest are edible mushrooms which can be cultivated under tropical conditions. These include Paddy straw mushrooms (Volvariella volvacea) and oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sajor-caju).

Various fungi are used in the production of traditional fermented foods and beverages such as kecap tempe, oncom, tape, dadih, brem and brem bali. Kecap fermentation uses a mixture of Aspergillus oryzae (Deuteromycetes) or Rhizopus ligosporus (Zygommycetes) and yeast (Ascomycetes). The fermentation of soybeans to produce tempe uses species of Rhizopus, while fermentation of peanut cake to produce oncom is carried out with species of Neurospora.

Environment Condition of Fungi To Grow

Many fungi are sensitive to environmental changes. Such temperature and Humidity, certain fungi have their suitable environment to grow. Like temperature must be over than 20 Celcius degree to 30 celcius degree but other kind of fungi good to grow at temperature below 20 celcius degree. Major modifications of the environment, such as forest clearing, can result in the extinction of fungi. Little attention has been given to fungi in discussion on conservation and there are only a few specialists in Indonesia. 

People cultivating this fungi with modification their environment in order not affected by outside climate like using plastic to cover their place to grow and make some air circulation to make keep humid or keep warm on the media of the place to grow. The media to grow should be sterilized first in order there is no other fungi grow on the media. Only fungi from the seed they planted. 

Every certain fungi have different treatment on the media, wood fungi look like just to choose suitable wood to grow and just choose wood that has no other fungi grow on them.
