Abstract

Kale land is a short-lived plant, containing the nutrients needed by the human body. The growth of kale land is influenced by various factors, one of which is the adequate supply of nutrients needed by plants. Fertilization is one of the efforts that can be done to ensure the availability of nutrients on agricultural land. Research has been carried out on the growth response of kale land due to the application of vermicompost and NPK fertilizers. The purpose of this research is to obtain information about (1) increased growth of  kale land due to the application of vermicompost, (2) increased growth of kale land due to application of NPK fertilizer, (3) increased growth of  kale land  due to the interaction of vermicompost and NPK fertilizer treatments. The research was carried out using an experimental method in the form of factorial arranged according to a completely randomized design. The first factor is vermicompost (C) with doses of 0 kg, 0.4 kg, 0.8 kg, 1.2 kg and 1.6 kg vermicompost per square meter of agricultural land. The second factor is the application of NPK fertilizer (P) at a dose of 0 g, 0.5 g, 1 g, 1.5 g per plant. Thus there were 20 treatment combinations and each combination was carried out with 3 replications. The growth parameters observed were plant height, total leaf, leaf length, leaf width and stem diameter of land kale. Research data were analyzed by Anova. The conclusions of the study were: (1) The application of vermicompost could increase plant height, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width but could not increase stem diameter of kale land (2) application of NPK fertilizer can improve all growth parameters of kale land kangkong. (3) The interaction of vermicompost and NPK fertilizer cannot increase the growth of kale land.

Abstract

Dragonfly is a family of insects that are closely related to water. During their life cycle, especially when laying eggs and at the stage of dragonfly nymphs, they spend their lives in healthy water areas because dragonfly nymphs are very sensitive to polluted water quality. Therefore, dragonflies have an important role for the sustainability of the ecosystem, namely acting as predators and indicators of environmental pollution. The high diversity of dragonflies in an area indicates that the area is still not polluted because the environment supports the life of dragonflies. This study aims to determine the diversity of dragonflies (odonata) in the Joben Resort area of ​​East Lombok. This research is an exploratory descriptive study conducted from November to December 2021. Data collection was carried out 4 times and was repeated within 1 month in the morning and evening (08.00-17.00 WITA). The method used is a survey method with a sweeping net technique following a 500 m research path on 3 research paths, namely lane 1 (the river that borders Joben Ecopark), lane 2 (the path leading to the Resort Office and Joben Ecopark) and lane 3 (the river that flows through Joben Ecopark). Bordered by rice fields and Kokok Joben Brain Baths). The calculation of the diversity index of dragonflies uses the Shannon-Wienner formula (H'). The results showed that the types of dragonflies (odonata) found in the Joben Resort Area consisted of 20 species with a total number of individuals found from 3 lanes as many as 864 individuals. The diversity index of dragonflies in the Joben Resort area of ​​East Lombok is 2,309. The conclusion is that the diversity of dragonflies in the Joben Resort area of ​​East Lombok is in the medium category.

Abstract

Integrated marine aquaculture or known as Integrated Multi-Tropical Aquaculture (IMTA) is an alternative development in aquaculture activities under the concept of environmental conservation. There are several important aspects in supporting the success of seaweed cultivation including the use of the right weight of seeds at the beginning of cultivation activities. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of seedling weight on the growth of Kappaphycus Alvarezii seaweed cultivated in integrated cultivation areas and to determine the best use of seed weight. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications to obtain 12 experimental units. The treatments used were the initial seedling weights of 50 g, 100 g, 150 g, and 200 g. The results showed that the effect of different seed weights on the integrated cultivation system with the longline method showed that the absolute average growth obtained ranged from 57.67 g to - 149.00 g while the average specific growth rate of seaweed ranged from 1.28%/day to - 3 ,31%/day and the best chlorophyll-a was found in the 50 g treatment with a value range of 0.628 mg/L to - 1.520 mg/L. It can be concluded that the use of seed weight gave a significantly different effect on the absolute growth and specific growth rate of Kappaphycus Alvarezii seaweed that was cultivated in an integrated manner and the use of the best seed weight with the best weight was 50 g.
