Variations of pest and disease attacks on horticultural and non-horticultural crops in South Sumatra
No full textHorticultural crops of olericultural types that were given a lot of chemical pesticides cause many negative impacts such as the emergence of pests and pathogens that were immune to pesticides, the emergence of new pests, increased pest populations and secondary pathogens, reduced populations of beneficial insects (predators). The study aimed to consider the use of pesticides by farmers to eradicate pests and diseases in horticulture and non-horticulture in South Sumatra. The research was conducted in South Sumatra Province. The research was conducted in 7 districts and 1 city, namely Indralaya District, North Indralaya District, Air Kumbang District, South Pemulutan District, Gelumbang District, Belitang Mulya District, Tanjung Batu District, and Palembang City, which was conducted from May to September 2022. Data were collected using the Secondary Variables method with Purposive sampling technique and processed into analyzed data. The results of this study showed that the most horticulture cultivated by farmers was eggplant(Solanum melongena L.). While for non-horticulture the most widely cultivated by farmers was corn(Zea mays). The percentage of pest attacks on non-horticultural land was 57.36%, the percentage of pest attacks on horticultural land was 68.28%. Variations in pest and disease attacks that occur in 180 farms on horticultural and non-horticultural crops in South Sumatra. Horticultural crops that are widely cultivated in South Sumatra include cucumber, long beans, and eggplant. Meanwhile, non-horticultural crops are corn, rice, and rubber. Spodoptera frugiperda was a pest that has been found to damage corn crops and Leptocorisa sp species that damage food crops (No Horticulture). Counseling was provided to farmers to find out the types of pests that could attack and the symptoms and diseases in plants to know how to control them
Land suitability evaluation in the Northern Limestone Mountains of Tuban Regency, East Java for torch ginger (Etlingera elatior Smith) cultivation
No full textTorch ginger (Etlingera elatior) is a herbaceous plant from Southeast Asia, traditionally used as herbal medicine by local people due to its antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. Despite its various benefits, this plant has struggled to enter the market because it has not been cultivated on a large scale. Therefore, the opportunity for commercial cultivation of this plant remains wide open. Tuban Regency is a potential agricultural district in Java, strategically positioned on the main road between Central Java Province and East Java Province. Unfortunately, little research has been conducted on land suitability evaluation in Tuban Regency’s agricultural areas. This research aimed to evaluate land suitability for torch ginger cultivation in Tuban Regency. Based on the studies conducted, agricultural land in Tuban Regency is quite fertile, but adequate irrigation is necessary to help the plants survive during the dry season. Torch ginger naturally grows in densely vegetated areas with sufficient water availability. Therefore, cultivating torch ginger in Tuban requires several special treatments, such as maintaining water availability, providing shade and mulch to regulate temperature and humidity, applying phosphorus and organic fertilizers to address phosphorus fixation in limestone soil, and using growth regulators like paclobutrazol to overcome flowering inhibition. From the various literature that has been studied, it was found that the land in the Northern Limestone Mountains of Tuban Regency, is quite fertile and suitable for agricultural land
Comparative effectiveness of packaging design pheromone product to sustainable pest management of rhinoceros beetle in oil palm plantation
No full textThe rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros L.) is the primary pest of oil palm plants. Rhinoceros beetle pest attacks cause severe damage to immature and mature plants. They produce an aggregation pheromone identified as ethyl-4-methyloctanoate (E4-MO). Rhinoceros beetles use this pheromone to find suitable habitats for foraging and breeding in the landscape of oil palm plantations. The mass use of pheromone traps has been used to monitor and capture imago stages of O. rhinoceros in the implementation of integrated pest management. Many commercial E4-MO pheromone products have been developed on the market with different packaging designs. The research aimed to determine packaging designs that increase attractiveness and effectiveness in catching rhinoceros beetles. The research was conducted at an oil palm plantation in Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau. This research was an experimental method. The four design pheromone (permeable sachet, micropore sachet, tube dispenser and double dispenser) were installed in each oil palm planting block (planting area ± 30 ha/block). The number of installations for each design is three units/block with five replications. The assessment of rhinoceros beetle catches was carried out over four months. The results showed significant differences in the catch of rhinoceros beetles. The 4th month of observations showed that the double dispenser packaging design resulted in a higher total catch of rhinoceros beetles, with an average of 161.40. Meanwhile, permeable sachets, microporous sachets, and tube dispensers were 138.20, 139.80 and 91.00 beetles, respectively. Determining the pheromone packaging design is crucial to providing an effective and efficient pest management strategy.

Recycling of water treatment plant sludge for copper adsorption from aqueous solutions
No full textRecent studies have explored various adsorbent materials that are low-cost, available in quantity, and effective for heavy metal removal, one of them is the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) sludge. The study aimed to investigate the potential of recycling Water Treatment Plant sludge into an adsorbent for Cu (II) removal. The sludge adsorbent was carbonized by using a furnace at 600°C for 2 hours. This study was conducted in batch. The adsorbent effectiveness was analyzed by varying the dosage, contact time, and activation of the sludge adsorbent on Cu (II) removal. The adsorption isotherm was analyzed using the Langmuir and Ferundlich models, and the kinetic study used pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order model. The results showed the removal efficiency of Cu (II) for both activated and non-activated sludge adsorbents reached 98.6–99.9%. The addition of dosage did not affect the increase in Cu (II) adsorption capacity. Activation of the adsorbent increased the adsorption capacity of Cu (II) with the equilibrium time at 60–90 min, shorter than the non-activated adsorbent at 90–120 min. The adsorption isotherm model for both adsorbent types fitted well to the Langmuir model, indicating the adsorption process occurs in a single layer on a homogeneous surface. The adsorption kinetics followed pseudo-second-order with a high correlation coefficient. Water treatment sludge, an industrial by-product, has the potential to be an effective and low-cost adsorbent material for Cu removal

In each type of habitat there was a composition of insect ecological roles. The study aimed to determine the diversity of ecological roles of insects in forest and plantation vegetation types in the Citalahab Area of the Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS). This research uses the Simple Random Sampling method using pitfall traps in randomly determined plots measuring 20 x 20 meters (5 pit fall traps) in forests and plantations, with a total of 2 plots. There were 8 orders, 36 families with ecological roles such as: disease vectors, saprophages, pollinators, pests, predators, parasitoids, fungus eaters and decomposers. Insect families that act as parasitoids and disease vectors were only found in forest vegetation types. The richness of resources found in a habitat influences the diversity of the ecological roles of the insects found in it
DNA Barcoding of Brevibora cheeya from Bumang River, Bangka Island
No full textBrevibora cheeya is a cyprinid fish found in Bangka, Belitung, Sumatra, and Kalimantan. Bangka locals call this fish Seluang. This species is often considered Brevibora dorsiocellata due to its similar morphology. Molecular methods that have never been used for this species on Bangka Island can be used to confirm this species. This study uses COI genes (DNA barcoding) to molecularly identify Brevibora cheeya fish from Bangka Island and analyze their relationships. The sampling process was conducted in Bumang River, Bangka Island, in February 2023, and identification was conducted at the University of Bangka Belitung Biological Laboratory. NCBI BLAST and MEGA 11 were used for data analysis. The results showed that fish samples from Bangka Island have intraspecific genetic relatedness to B. cheeya from Belitung Island, Bangka Island, Central Kalimantan, and South Sumatra, with genetic distances ranging from 0% to 0.9%. The closest genetic relationship to Rasbora dorsiocellata is 3.2%. The phylogenetic tree showed a bootstrap value of 91 for relationships with the Bangka, Belitung, and Central Kalimantan databases and a bootstrap value of 95 for relationships with the Bangka and South Sumatra databases

No full textThe research aimed to estimate biomass and carbon sequestration in unburned and post-burn peatlands. Data analysis was conducted from January 2023 to February 2023 in Sepucuk Agrosilvofishery Peatland Restoration demonstration plots, Ogan Komering Ilir, South Sumatra. The biomass and litter of understory vegetation were observed in good, medium, and poor vegetation conditions using the destructive method on 0.5 m x 0.5 m observation plots with 3 repetitions, and with 3 repetitions for each vegetation condition. The research depicts that post-burn peatland has a higher average carbon storage of understory vegetation and litter, 1.95 tons/ha for understory vegetation and 0.50 tons/ha for litter. However, unburned peatland has lower average carbon storage, 0.80 tons/ha for understory vegetation and 0.47 tons/ha for litter. The comparison depicts that Purun and Sembangun understory vegetation samples have significantly different results, while the vegetation litter samples have insignificantly different results
Soil erosion sensitivity of rubber plant, oil palm, and teak in Ogan Komering Ilir District
No full textSoil erodibility was the ease with which soil erodes. The study aimed to determine the value of soil erodibility on rubber, oil palm, and teak land at PT Waimusi agroindah. The method used was a very detailed survey, assisted by digital maps. Soil samples were taken based on the study area. Soil samples were taken at 0–30 cm deep and topsoil for soil permeability analysis as well as the completeness of the tools and materials needed. The calculation of the value of soil erodibility on rubber, oil palm, and teak land has moderate criteria. The equation of these criteria in quantitative numbers for oil palm land has a value of 0.18, which was higher than rubber land at 0.15 and teak land at 0.13. While on forest land, the soil erodibility value was 0.04, so it falls into very low criteria. The conclusion of this research was that rubber, oil palm, and teak land obtained soil erosion sensitivity values with moderate criteria, and the results of soil erosion sensitivity values on forest land were classified as very low. This research was one of a series of several factors used to determine the potential for land erosion. Further research needs to be done so that the potential for erosion could be determined from all the factors that affect the potential for erosion
