Abstract

Cabbage harvest failure is often caused by failure to control cabbage pests. Cabbage pest control by eradicating Plutella xylostella larvae is considered less effective because the cabbage plant has been damaged due to infection with P. xylostella eggs and larvae. Thus, the control target needs to be shifted to prevent P. xylostella amago from laying eggs (ova-positioning) on cabbage plants. This study aims to determine the anti-ovipositor power of Sesbania sesban leaf extract against P. xylostella. The leaves of S. sesban were air-dried and then ground. The dry powder (simplicia) of S. sesban leaves was extracted with water as the sole solvent. The water-extract of S. sesban leaves was tested for anti-ovipositor against P. xylostella in situ on cabbage plants according to a completely randomized block design. Experimental groups were made according to variations in extract concentration. Complete randomization was carried out on experimental units in each group according to the variation in the length of exposure to the extract before access to the ovipositor was opened (Cages were opened after 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 days from the time of extract spraying). Each experimental unit consisted of 4 cabbage plants as replicates. The treatment was given by spraying a solution of S. sesban leaf extract with a concentration according to the group evenly on the entire leaf surface of each cabbage plant. The observed research variable was the number of P. xylostella eggs per cabbage plant after the cage of cabbage plant unit was opened. The results showed that the leaf extract of S. sesban could inhibit P. xylostella as an ovipositor to lay its eggs on cabbage plants effectively for up to three days. With concentrations of 1.83 to 2.14 ppm, the aqueous extract of S. sesban leaves did not inhibit P. xylostella egg laying, but with concentrations of 478.63 to 1283.88 ppm it could inhibit 50 to 100%.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the morphometric characteristics of the worker bee Tetragonula clypearis in Salut Village, District Kayangan, North Lombok Regency. The research material used was worker bee Tetragonula clypearis taken from 40 stup in two livestock groups, namely 20 stup in the Harapan Keluarga group and 20 stup in the Tunas Muda group in Salut Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. Each stup took three samples of worker bees for morphometric analysis (n=120). Morphological characters were observed under a stereo microscope connected to an Optilab camera. The character of T. clypearis is the thorax is black and hairy, and there are six hair bands on the mesoscutum and dark brown tibia. Metasoma has a variety of colours, ranging from pale yellow with black stripes, yellow and black, and pale yellow. The morphometric measurements included body length, head width, wing length, genna width, second flagellomere diameter, and body weight. The results showed that the seven morphometric measurement variables of the worker bee Tetragonula clypearis did not show significant differences (P>0.05) in the two cultivation groups. The value of the diversity coefficient <15% indicates that the morphometrics of the worker bee Tetragonula clypearis is uniform in both cultivation groups in Salut Village, District, Kayangan, North Lombok Regency.

Abstract

The Sesaot Nature Tourism Forest Area is a tourist area and an area that is used for the production of several plantation commodities, along with increasing human activities in the Sesaot Nature Tourism Forest area, it raises questions related to the state of its ecosystem, one aspect that reflects the state of the ecosystem, namely the diversity of soil fauna. The sample locations are divided into three paths based on the characteristics of the ecosystem, namely the waterway which is niche points located along the river flow, the middle lane in the form of a path around a forest area filled with large tree stands, and the edge lane which is a path located in the middle of the river around residential areas and rice fields. The purpose of this study was to determine the index of diversity, evenness of species, and species richness of soil fauna in the Sesaot Nature Tourism Forest. Sampling of soil fauna using the pitt fall trap method is placed along 3 predetermined paths. The results showed that in the Sesaot Nature Tourism Forest, there were at least 30 types of soil fauna dominated by the Formicidae family. The highest soil fauna diversity index was found in the waterway with 2.24, followed by the edge lane at 2.22, and the middle lane at 1.13. The evenness value of soil surface fauna species in the Sesaot Nature Tourism Forest in the waterway is 0.66, followed by 0.65 in the edge lane, and 0.33 in the waterway. The highest value of species richness (Margalef index) was found in the waterway with 3.26, followed by the edge and middle lane with 2.69.

Abstract

Breeding programs to promote the productivity of Indonesian local goats (i.e. Kacang Goats) in various regions have been carried out by cross-breeding with predominant breeds of meat goats in the world such as Boer Goats. Currently, considering that the various genotypes of the cross-bred goat (namely Boerka Goat) have been spread and farmed by various goat farms throughout the country, it is necessary to evaluate the increase in productivity achieved. This study aims to investigate the pre-weaning growth performance of Boerka (Boer x Kacang) Crossbred Kids at different genotypes and birth types. The study was carried out experimentally using 167 Boer x Kacang crossbred kids which was arranged in a Split-Plot Design covering 3 plots of kid genotype, namely: BK (50% Boer, 50% Kacang), BBK (75% Boer, 25% Kacang) , and KBK (25% Boer, 75% Kacang), each with 3 sub-plots of kid birth types, namely single born kid (CT), twin born kid (CK-2), and triplet born kid (CK-3), all including male and female kids. The response variable that measured on pre-weaning growth performance, was observed directly by measuring birth weight (BL), 90-day-old weaning weight (BS90), and daily body weight gain (PBBH) for pre-weaning period. The data is tabulated and analyzed using software “Genstat”. The results showed that BL, BS.90, and pre-weaning PBBH of Boer x Kacang crossbred kids were influenced by genotype (P<0.01) and birth type (P<0.05) of the kids, and differed (P<0.05) between males and females kid. Male kids showed BL, BS90, and Pre-Weaning PBBH 12.88, 9.20, and 9.24% higher than female kids, respectively. Based on the genotype and birth type of the kids, the highest pre-weaning growth performance was shown by single-born male BBK kids, with BL, BS.90 and Pre-Weaning PBBH 3.32±0.33, 13.06±3.46 and 0.114±0.020 kg, respectively.

Abstract

Kirinyuh plant extract is one of potential antibacterial sources. Metabolite extract of kirinyuh leaf extract, which contains tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids, is known to have antibacterial activities. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of kirinyuh leaf extract against the bacteria Staphyloccocus aureus (SA), Baciluss subtilis (BS), Staphylococus typhimurium (BT), and Escherhicia coli (EC), this study sought to identify the prosite of bioactive compounds as well as an antibacterial. The method used was leaf extraction and several doses level treatments of 0 (control), 1, 2, 4, 3, and 5 (concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, respectively). This research findings showed that kirinyuh leaf extract has modest antibacterial activity against SA, BS, and ST, but that it has considerable inhibitory effect against EC. Together, this study demonstrated the potential of Kirinyuh as a antimicrobial to specific microbial since it has widely used in our society.

Abstract

The high value and economic prospects of precious metals, have not been able to cover the environmental, health and social and economic impacts. The conversion of land functions and open pit mining activities as well as the amount of sediment waste causes very significant landscape and environmental changes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of using mercury and cyanide based on the knowledge and experience of actors (miners and gold processors) and the surrounding community on the island of Lombok. Field data collection was carried out by triangulation, namely in-depth interviews with actors and the community, and secondary/reference data from related agencies, especially the health center and several related research results. Gold extraction on the island of Lombok uses two methods which are carried out in stages, namely Amalgamation with mercury in the shelling process and Cyanidation with Potassium Cyanide in the bagging process. The results of the study show that the negative impacts of the mining process are more due to land clearing and miner safety. The impact of gold extraction using mercury is long-term, so it is difficult to identify the impact. Meanwhile, the impact of the use of cyanide is directly felt and seen by the public, especially in terms of decreasing the presence and yield of fish caught in rivers and coasts.

Abstract

Lipase is an enzyme that can be applied in many industrial fields so it has a good economic prospects. The demand for lipase was still unfulfilled at the time this article was written. The character of the lipase for industrial needs are vary depending on the industry in which the enzyme is used. Temperature and pH are the two factors that most influence enzyme activity. This article reports on bacteria isolated from coconut, avocado, tempeh, and areca nut and their lipolytic activity at pH 7-10, 30-40oC. Isolation was carried out on NA media supplemented with olive oil and Rhodamine B as the activity indicator. Colonies showing clear zones were used in subsequent work. Activity tests were carried out on the isolation medium pH 7-10 and incubated at 30 or 40oC. Characterization of isolates includes morphological and microscopic observations; proteolytic and amylolytic capability. There were 41 isolates showing lipolytic activity, 26, 7, 4, and 4 isolates from coconut, tempeh, avocado, and areca nut, respectively. Five isolates were selected for further work. Activity tests showed that the best isolates at 30oC were K1A1 and K1A2 at pH 7, each of which had an activity index of 9% and 107%. Meanwhile, at 40oC the best activity was shown by K10 pH 8 with an activity index of 59%. Based on Grams staining and microscopic analysis, isolates belong to Gram-positive coccus bacteria. Isolate K1A1 showed proteolytic and amylolytic activity, K1A2 showed high proteolytic activity but not amylolytic, while K10 did not show both activities.
