2024-11-02T15:27:16+00:00

Detailed information is given on the distribution, ecology, botanical properties and uses of mosses studied in the Absheron National Park, in Azerbaijan and in the world. The types identified as a result of the study are shown and information about their relevance is given. The main objective of the study was to evaluate modern scientific knowledge about the biomorphological properties of 9 species of moss, its use in traditional and folk medicine, its properties, presence and their impact on various diseases. As a result of the study, Grimmia Hedw of the family Grimmiaceae Arnott. 6 species belonging to the genus (Grimmia unicolor Hook, Grimmia pulvinata (Hedw.) Sm., Grimmia reflexidens Müll., Grimmia muehlenbeckii Schimp., Grimmia trichophylla Grev., Grimmia anomala Hampe.), Orthotrichum Hedw. of Orthotrichaceae Arnotta family. belonging to the genus, (Orthotrichum spesiosum Nees in Sturum, Orthotrichum strangulatum P. Beauv), Fontinalaceae Schimp. of the family Fontinalis Hedw. of the genus Fontinalis antipyritica Hedw. types have been discovered. As a result of scientific research, 9 species of moss were discovered. Of them: Grimmia muehlenbeckii Schimp. as a species is new to the bryoflora of Azerbaijan.

The place of research was carried out at Educational and Research Garden of the STIPER Agricultural Institute which is located in Maguwoharjo Village, Depok District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research location is located 118 meters above sea level. This research was conducted between March to June 2024. Two components make up the factorial experiment used in the Complete Randomized Design (CRD). The soil type had three levels: A1 = latosol soil, A2 = regusol soil, and A3 = grumusol soil, was the first factor. Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) concentration was the second factor. It was consisted into four levels: X1 was the control (NPK fertilizer), X2 was 150 ml per polybag, X3 was 300 ml per polybag, and X4 was 450 ml per polybag. So there were 12 treatment combinations (3 x 4 = 12) with 4 repetitions, so all the experiment 48 plants. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied at the significant level of 5% to check the observation data. Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was then used at a noticeable 5% level if there was significant difference. The weight parameters of fresh roots and the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves are influenced by the interaction of the soil and POME concentration. The composition, regusol soil and POME 450 ml/polybag provide an optimal combination of treatments. The type of soil has an impact on the weight of fresh and dry crowns, the number of leaves, the chlorophyll content in the leaves, the volume of roots, and the height of the plant. The best type of soil is regusol soil. Plant height, root volume, fresh and dry crown weight, and leaf chlorophyll content are all affected by POME concentration. The concentration of POME 450 ml/polybag showed the best results.
