Abstract

Sagu Baruk Palm (Arenga microcarpha) is an endemic plant and producing carbohydrates as main source of local food to the people in Sangihe Island . The aim of this study is to analyze the production of  the sago and to analyze its the chemical composition and nutritional value. The research was conducted from October 2010 to June 2011 at Gunung Village Tabukan Tengah Regency Sangihe district Island. The village is spread from the coast up to the top of the hill with an altitude of ± 600 meters above sea level. The data analysis techniques in this research is descriptive analysis, F test, ANOVA.The results showed that the production of Sagu Baruk Palm at the third height position for the stem lenght 9.7-11m and stem diameter 14.3-15.7cm obtain wet sago flour 44-44.3kg and the stem rendemen from 21.3% to 22.3%, statistically only stem weight and pith weight has a significant different. The highest stem weight obtained at the bottom position, the highest pith weight obtain at the top position, and for the higest stem rendemen obtain at the top position . The chemical composition were significant differences in levels of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, and pH at the three height positions.Key words: Superior local food sources, stem rendemen, production, sagu baruk palm.

Abstract

Sugarcane is an essential industrial that produce sugar in the world. Scirpophaga excerptalis attacks can reduce the productivity of sugarcane up to 34%. To enhance the resistance to multiple stresses, Silicon is one of the elements for its role. This research aimed to determine the effect of the provision of silica fertilizer as part of the Integrated Pest Management strategy. This research was conducted in the Plant Protection Department, Indonesian Sugar Research Institute. The compost given as treatment in this research was straw, cane, and corn composts. Organic silica fertilizer (compost) provides the same effect as inorganic silica fertilizer in increasing the induction of sugarcane resistance to sugarcane top borer (S. excerptalis). Rice straw compost was a compost fertilizer that provides the best sugarcane resistance to sugarcane top borer compared to sugarcane plants that treated with sugarcane and corn leave to compost

Abstract

The sugarcane leaf litter contains organic material and if it is returned to the soil, it will increase the diversity of Collembola. Collembola has an important role as a decomposer of soil organic matter and bioindicator of soil health. This study was conducted to determine the effect of sugarcane leaf litter on the diversity of Collembolan in sugarcane plantation at Kebonagung Sugar Factory, Malang. This study was conducted from March to June 2018. Transect method was used in sampling method. The pitfall traps were used to obtain Collembolan samples on the surface of the ground while the Berlese-Tullgren funnels were used to obtain Collembolan samples inside the soil. A total of 5,535 collembolan were collected. Five species were collected, including Brachystomella sp., Folsomides sp., Mesaphorura sp., Alloscopus sp., and Dicranocentrus sp. Applying sugarcane leaf litter to the soil has a positive effect on Collembolan diversity, as evidenced by the increasing value of diversity index on the soil surface from 0.53 to 1.11 and decreasing the value of dominance index on the soil surface from 0.76 to 0.43.
