<p>This research does to known: 1) the effect of season, 2) the effect of cover crop kind and organic fertilizer, and 3) the interaction of two factors on growth and yield of velvet bean as cover crops. This research was conducted in Tancep, Ngawen, Gunungkidul at 170 m usl, litosol, 5-17 cm level of soil tillage, 9-10<sup>o</sup> elevation level, was started at December 2002 and finished at August 2003.</p><p>This research design was factorial-RCBD, 1<sup>st</sup> factor was planting season on 2 level, rainy and dry seasons, 2<sup>nd</sup> factor was cover crop kind on 6 levels, rase and putih gunungkidul velvet bean, Cm and Cp as conventional cover crops, rase and putih gunungkidul with organic fertilizer velvet bean. Per planting hole with 1 plant for velvet bean and 10 plant for coventional cover crop.</p><p>The result of this research were: 1<sup>st</sup>, velvet bean growth on rainy season very high than dry season, 2<sup>nd</sup> vegetative growth rate on velvet bean higher than conventional cover crop, 3<sup>rd</sup> without fertilizer, velvet bean have some growth and yield comparing by fertilizer velvet bean and 4<sup>th</sup> some yield variable, dry season was indicated better than rainy season.</p>

Velvet bean has been used traditionally as a summer cover crop in the southeastern United States. We investigated the use of killed velvet bean as a cover crop mulch left on the soil surface before collard was transplanted in the fall. Control treatments were weed-free fallow and velvet bean that was killed and disked into the soil before transplanting. Incidence of wirestem, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, reached a maximum of 25% in 2000 but only 4% in 2001 in cover crop mulch treatments. Nevertheless, in both years, the infection rate, area under the disease progress curve, and final incidence were significantly greater with cover crop mulch than in the fallow or disked treatments. Wirestem incidence did not differ between the disked and fallow treatments in either year. Populations of R. solani in soil were greater after cover crop mulch than in fallow plots in both years and greater in the disked treatment than in fallow soil in 2000 but not 2001. Velvet bean does not appear to be suitable as an organic mulch for fall collard production, but could be used as a summer cover crop if disked into the soil before transplanting collard.

Pramita DS, Handajani S, Rachmawanti D. 2008. The effect of heating technique to phytic acid content and antioxidant activity of velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens), butter bean (Phaseolus lunatus) and jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). Biofarmasi 6: 36-44. Koro is a kind of local bean which has many varieties. The nutrition of koro is not different with soy, especially carbohydrate and protein which high enough, and has a low-fat content. However, koro also contains some harmful compounds, HCN which poisoned and phytic acid which an antinutritional compound. Besides as antinutritional compound, phytic acid has a positive role, i.e. as an antioxidant. Besides phytic acid, legume also contains the compounds of phenol and vitamin E that have antioxidant activity. The aims of this research were to determine the contents of phytic acid and antioxidant activity, and to determine the effect of heating technique on phytic acid and antioxidant activity of velvet bean, butter bean, and jack bean. The materials used were velvet bean, butter bean and jack bean obtained from Batuwarno, Wonogiri, Central Java. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five kinds of treatment, each treatment consisted of three replications. The treatments given were soaking by 3 days (P1), steaming (P2), boiling (P3) and pressure cooker (P4), which compared to a raw bean without heating treatment (P0). The investigated factors were phytic acid and antioxidant activity (DPPH Radical Scavenging Ability method). The results of this research showed the phytic acid content of velvet bean, butter bean and jack bean from the treatment of P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 were degraded. The phytic acid of velvet bean of P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 treatment were 10.87, 8.94, 4.56 and 1.72 and 1.46 mg/db, respectively; on butter bean were 11.78, 8.75, 4.77, 1.73 and 1.61 mg/db, respectively; while on jack bean were 9.04, 1.99, 1.39, 1.42 and 1.21 mg/db. The result of variance analysis showed the phytic acid content was significantly different (p<0.05). Antioxidant activity showed the increase from P0 to P1, then the degradation process at P2, P3, and P4. Antioxidant activity at velvet bean were 74.10%, 86.49%, 84.73%, 83.59% and 79.51%, respectively; at butter bean were 4.5%, 7.19%, 6.07%, 6.30% and 6.28%, respectively; at jack bean were 14.64%, 8.55%, 5.84%, 5.17% and 3.58%. The result of variance analysis showed antioxidant activity at velvet bean and jack bean was significant, while at butter bean for P1, P2, P3, and P4 were not significant. The conclusion that could be taken away from this research were heating techniques had an effect on the degradation of phytic acid at all kind of bean used, and also had an effect on the antioxidant activity at velvet bean and jack bean.

Rhizobia are the symbiotic bacteria found in the soil which have potential ability to convert atmospheric di-nitrogen into usable form. A total of ten rhizobial strains were isolated from the root nodules of a medicinal legume Mucuna pruriens (L.) that commonly grow in the foothills of the Himalaya. All the ten   strains isolated from different locations of same area were morphologically, biochemically and physiologically characterized based on the Bergey’s Manual of systematic Bacteriology. They were tested for the antibiotics sensitivity. The isolates showed high sensitivity to amoxicillin and least to erythromycin. Authentication test was done in eleven legumes but shown nodulations only in Trigonella foenum-graecum, Mucuna pruriens and Medicago sativa. The morphology, physiology, biochemical and infection test studies carried out justifies that the bacteria isolated belonged to the species of Rhizobium meliloti.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari beberapa jenis biochar yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman cover crop pada tumpang sari dengan tanaman jagung lokal kuning, dan untuk mengkaji efek jenis cover crop terhadap kadar lengas dan berat volume tanah. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada pada bulan Januari 2018–Juli 2018 di kebun percobaan Fakultas Pertanian (belakang Perpustakaan Universitas Timor). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Petak Beralur (Strip Plot Design). Faktor pertama adalah jenis cover crop (C) terdiri dari 3 aras, kacang arbila (Phaseolus lunatus) (C1), kacang nipe (Mucuna pruriens) (C2), dan kacang nasi (Vigna anggularis L.) (C3). Faktor kedua adalah jenis biochar (B) yang terdiri dari 4 (empat) aras yakni tanpa biochar (B0), serbuk gergaji (B1), sekam padi (B2), kerinyuh (B3). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak adanya interaksi pengamatan antara legume cover crop dan jenis biochar. Cover crop M. pruriens memiliki luas penutupan tanah tertinggi dan memberikan suhu tanah terendah dan dapat mempertahankan kadar lengas tanah. Produktivitas Cover crop V. angularis memberikan produktivitas hasil terbaik sedangkan M. pruriens belum berproduksi namun memiliki luas penutupan tanah yang besar dan ketebalan yang tinggi yang mana sangat baik digunakan sebagai tanaman penutup tanah.
