The saponin content of M. oleifera was an alternative for industrial companies and a preventive measure for better water ecosystem processing.

Comparative effectiveness of packaging design pheromone product to sustainable pest management of rhinoceros beetle in oil palm plantation

Henny Hendarjanti — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The 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 4^th 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.

One of the food crops that was widely cultivated by the community was lowland rice. Food security was a superior commodity where lowland rice was the icon. The objectives of this research was to determine the use of production factors in optimizing rice based on output effects through farming inputs and to determine production factors in the economic efficiency of rice farming. The research used production function analysis Cobb Douglas and Marginal Product Value. The production factor data analysis method used multiple regression analysis with software SPSS 25 while Marginal Product Value (NPM) used Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The results of the research showed that production factors that could influence the input of rice farming consist of fertilizer and seeds, where each time more input was used for the part needed, the farmer's income in planting period 1 was higher than planting period 2. Lowland rice farming in Sungai Dua Village, District Rambutan Banyuasin Regency in shallow swampy areas, after Marginal Product Value analysis was carried out, the planting season for both period 1 and period 2 was declared inefficient. Farming inputs that were not yet optimal in shallow swampy areas consist of fertilizer and seeds. The seeds used by Inpara 2 were suitable for swampy land but were still used excessively, while fertilizer was an increase in nutrients for the soil and plants but the use was still small due to farmers' limited capital. limited. F-hit >F- tab in each stratum with a confidence level of 95% in each stratum, it was stated that the independent variables together have a significant effect on the dependent variable. Intensification of plant maintenance was given more attention by increasing the use of labor to support increased output and maximum income.

Elva Dwi Harmilia, Khusnul Khotimah, Rini Nofianti — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Pangasius catfish (Pangasius sp.) was an important commodity in Indonesia. High demand in the market requires production to be carried out actively. Adding spirulina as a supplement to feed was a way to increase the growth of pangasius catfish seeds for optimal production. The aimed of the research was to determine the effect of spirulina on the growth of pangasius catfish seeds which were added to pelleted feed. The research used a completely randomized design with four levels of treatment. Treatment 1 (100g commercial pellets + 3g spirulina), treatment 2 (100g commercial pellets + 5g spirulina), treatment 3 (100g commercial pellets + 7 g spirulina), treatment 4 (100g commercial pellets + 9g spirulina). The parameters observed were growth of length, weight, survival, and water quality (pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen). The study results showed that the addition of 7 g spirulina had the best effect on growth with a length of 5.25 cm and a weight of 6.74 g. Meanwhile, the lowest occurred when adding 9 g of spirulina with a length of 4.08 cm and a weight of 5.78 g. There was no mortality during maintenance so that the survival rate of pangasius catfish seeds was 100% in each treatment. So the addition of spirulina to feed has an effect on the growth of pangasius catfish. However, if ftoo much spirulina was added, the effect will not be optimal.

The impact of government purchase price policy of rice for producers and consumers in Indonesia

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

One of the rice policies was the government purchase price policy which was the price in grain or rice purchases by the Government at producer level to be stable become government rice reserves. The point of this research was to define the impact of the government purchase price policy of rice for producers and consumers. This research was conducted using qualitative analysis with descriptives based on tabulations of secondary data. Results of the research showed that government purchase price was part of the government's efforts to protect the basic price of grain and rice at the farm level thus creating affordable input prices and providing economic added value to farmers. The study found that an improvement in government purchase price by 18-20% could increase the price of grain and rice from March to August 2023. The total percentage change in prices from March to August 2023 for dry harvested grain was 10.3%, dry milled grain was 10.8%, premium rice was 0.6%, medium rice was 3.2% respectively. Meanwhile, the impact on consumers of this policy was the occurrence of inflation of 0.41% which caused rice prices to increase. The government should evaluate the Government Purchasing Price (GPP) gradually every year.

High productivity was influenced by optimum production input. Efforts to optimize rice production results include examining the effectiveness of factors that influence rice productivity. This research was useful for providing levels of effective and efficient use of inputs to create efficient use of inputs in rice farming. The research aimed to analyze factors that influence rice productivity, analyze the efficiency of using production inputs in rice farming, and calculate rice farming income. This research was conducted in Ulak Jeremun Village, SP Padang District, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. The location selection was carried out purposively or deliberately due to the reduction in planting area. Data collection was carried out from August to September 2023. The research method used in this research was the Survey Method. The sampling method used was a simple random sampling method with a total of 60 farmers as respondents. The data used in this research consists of primary data and secondary data. The results of the research show that (1) Factors that have a significant influence on rice productivity in Ulak Jeremun Village are land area, urea fertilizer, and TSP fertilizer. In contrast, those that do not have a significant influence are the dosage of phonska, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and the number of workers. (2) The efficiency of production inputs in terms of price for the dose used for seeds and the number of workers was efficient. In contrast, the dose used for fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides could be more efficient. (3) Rice farming income in Ulak Jeremun Village was IDR 6,940,251 per hectare per year. Income was relatively small because farmers' land was flooded, so many weeds, which cause pests in the fields, were difficult for farmers to control.

Tri Lestari, Ahmad Syazili, Deni Pratama — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Tin mining activities on Bangka Island cause the land to become nutrient-poor. Post-tin mining land use was done by adding ameliorant and cultivating pakchong grass. This research aimed to see the growth and yield of pakchong grass in post-tin mining land by applying mycorrhiza, biosaka and NPK fertilizer. This research was carried out on post-tin mining land in Dwi Makmur Village, Merawang District, Bangka Regency from March 2023 to July 2023. This research used a Randomized Group Factorial Design (RAKF) consisting of 2 treatment factors. The first factor was giving Mycorrhiza (B1) and Without Mycorrhiza (B2). The second factor was NPK 100% (P1), NPK 75% + Biosaka (P2) and NPK 50% + Biosaka (P3). The analysis of variance showed that mycorrhizal treatment had a significant effect on the number of leaves and tillers and had no significant effect on other treatments. Giving NPK + Biosaka treatment had a very significant effect on the number of leaves and had no significant effect on other treatments. The mycorrhiza to pakchong plants grows better than without giving mycorrhiza. Giving a fertilizer to the 75% NPK + Biosaka (P2) treatment had no significant effect on the 100% NPK (P1) treatment. Giving mycorrhiza + NPK 75% (B1P2) results in higher plant height and leaf number compared to other treatments.

Dellania Eka Rindiani, Siti Herlinda, Suwandi Suwandi — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Spodoptera frugiperda damage in South Sumatra reached 100%. Biological control of S. frugiperda using entomopathogenic fungi has been widely practiced. This study aimed to determine S. frugiperda larval abundance and infestation in maize inoculated with endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. The three fungal isolates used in the current study consisted of one species of Beauveria bassiana (isolate code: JgSPK), one species of Penicillium citrinum (isolate code: JaTpOi (2)) and one species of Metarhizium anisopliae (isolate code: CaTpPga). Egg and larval, incidence and severity of S. frugiferda infestation were observed. All endophytic entomopathogenic fungal isolates could siginifcantly decrease the incidence and severity caused by S. frugiperda larvae. Corn seeds treated with endophytic entomopathogenic fungi did not affect the population of eggs and larvae. Fluctuations of the egg and larval population tended to be influenced by corn age.
