Increasing concerns of oil security, greenhouse gas emissions, and sustainability have encouraged nations to consider the contribution that agriculture/forestry for bioenergy (and biofuels in particular) could make as alternatives to current fossil-based energy and transportation fuels. Despite China's large population and geographical size, it has only relatively recently developed into a highly industrialized and energy-dependent economy. Coal is, and will remain, China's dominant energy source. However, over the last few years with China's growing middle class, increasing growth in production and sale of cars/trucks and a growing chemical based sector, oil and its derivatives are predicted to experience the fastest fossil fuel growth. China's ability to produce so-called “first-generation” or conventional biofuels from sugar, starch or vegetable oil based plants is very restricted because of “food vs. fuel” issues. Thus, biomass-based and forest-based biofuels, in particular, can form a medium-to-long-term solution that could contribute to China's national biofuels targets. Oilseed trees have been suggested as an initial forest-based biodiesel strategy with about 13 million ha of marginal land identified for possible plantation. It is also estimated that 17 million tonnes of cellulosic ethanol per annum could be derived from forest biomass that is currently available in China.

Sugar palm is one of local plants spesies that may potential for reclamation program because can be planted under the stands of forest crops. Forest crops can be shade seedlings sugar palm from direct sunlight because the growth of sugar palm is relatively slow. Sugar palm can be useful even without cutting down the trees. Previously, sugar palm had been planted at PT Berau Coal and had produced fruit. The research was conducted at coal post-mining land of PT Bukit Asam, Tanjung Enim, South Sumatera. The research using combination of AMF and liming treatment is as follows, ie MaK0 (control), Mak1 (seedling with AMF without inoculation; liming 30 g plant-1), MiK0 (AMF indigenous seedling inoculation; without liming), MiK2 (AMF indigenous seedling inoculation, liming 60 g plant-1), MmK0 (AMF mycofer seedling inoculation; without liming), and MmK3 (AMF mycofer seedling inoculation, liming 120 g plant-1). The results showed that sugar palm could be grown in the coal post-mining land. The combination of AMF and liming treatment did not significant effect on observed variables of plant height, rachis length, diameter, leaves number, number of spore and root cholonization. Sugar palm seedlings that have been infected with AMF could be grown and provide a good growth response even without liming.Keywords : Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), marginal land, sugar palm

Utilization of the potential of marginal land with adequate water and nutrients is an important factor in increasing corn production. However, high porosity levels and low nutrient levels cause growth and production of corn is not optimal. The aim of this research is to obtain an irrigation technique combined with efficient fertilization in the sweet corn cultivation system in marginal land. The field research was carried out at Faculty of Agricultural Research Wedomartani, Depok Sleman Yogyakarta. The study was conducted from September 2019 to February 2020. The research aims to get best sweet corn line at various concentrations of liquid organic fertilizer in marginal land with a drip irrigation system.The research was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 replications. The first factor is sweet corn lines, which consists of 9 levels, namely, G1 (5042B), G2 (KD-11), G3 (KD-13), G4 (SB-11), G5 (SB-13), G6 (SB-14), G7 (SB-16), G8 (SB-21), and G9 (SB-22). While the second factor is the irrigation system combined with fertilization (fertigation) which consists of 3 levels, namely the drip irrigation system with a concentration of liquid supplement fertilizer 2 cc / L, 3 cc / L and 4 cc / L. The results showed that the drip fertigation system with a concentration of POC 3 cc / L was able to give a better effect on plant height and leaf length in sweet corn. SB / 1-3 lines was the best lines as prospective parents for making hybrid lines for plant height, leaf length, number of leaves and cob length.Keywords: lines, liquid organic fertilizer, sweet corn, marginal land, irrigation system

<p>The objectives of this study is to evaluate the effect of mycorrhizae propagules and rhizobium on the growth on legume plants (Arachis hypogea) in marginal land. The experiment was conducted in Nguter village Lumajang, East Java. The results showed that mycorrhizae propagules stimulated rhizobium and plant growth by increasing plant height, dry weight and nodule weight. This results implied that mycorrhizae propagules stimulated and rhizobium were advantageous promoting growth at marginal lands.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: Mycorhiza propagul, Rhizobium, legume and Marginal land</p>
