Abstract

The purpose of this study was to estimate the production and profit function by farmers and to analyze the relative economic efficiency of rice farming in two typologies of wetland, tidal swampland and freshwater swampland. The analysis showed that the production facilities in the study area were very influential on the rice farming profit, so an increase in the high price of production facility would lead to a decrease in profit, which in turn would lower the level of farmers’ welfare. Under optimal conditions where maximum profit was reached, the effects of variable input prices and the input number remained significant except for the value of the equipment used. Based on the value of the coefficient function of fertilizer demand, pesticide and labor were inelastic towards the price while the seed input was elastic. Rice farming in the study area had decreasing returns to scale. It indicated that the increase in inputs was higher than the increase in returns.

Abstract

Spodoptera pectinicornis is a biological control agent that has a great potential to control water lettuce weeds. Its existence in nature however is still limited, so a mass propagation is needed by rearing S. pectinicornis imagoes to produce eggs and to hatch them into larvae of 4 days old. The 4-year larvae were then released by putting water lettuces that contained active larvae into the target area. Observation results on the percentage of damage in the watershed location for 5 times of observation consecutively was 25%, 50%, 50%, 75% and 90%. The magnitude of damage showed that S. pectinicornis was able to adapt well, so it could perform eating activities and cause damage to the water lettuces. Meanwhile, at the release site of rice field, the percentage of damage was 0%, 25%, 35%, 25% and 10%. The downward trend in the level of S. pectinicornis attacks was due to its inability to keep pace with the growth and development of water lettuces. High level of rainfall caused the water lettuces to increase its size and the number of its tillers so that they could colonize these waters. The fact that S. pectinicornis still has the ability to destroy the water lettuces gives great hope to the control efforts. However, thorough evaluation and assessment are required on all aspects, such as the biological control agents, weed targets, organisms associated with them, and the state of the environment so as to minimize the possibility of failure in the field.

Abstract

Fly ash can be used and utilized as an adsorbent because it is cheap and effective to adsorb waste in the aquatic environment. Hg also known as Mercury is a carciogenic heavy metal and potentially threatens human health at very low concentrations. In this study, fly ash was applied as the adsorbent for Hg2+ in the form of chitosan-fly ash composite pellet and was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde in order to know how much the mass of pellets that can be used to lower the concentration of Hg2+ in solution. The results showed that the fly ash can be compositated with chitosan gel after going through the process of physical-chemical activation so that it can be formed into adsorbent pellets/granules. The optimum condition was obtained from adsorbent pellets of fly ash-chitosan composite crosslinked with glutaraldehyde after contacted with a solution containing Hg2+ with the pellet mass of 3 g.

Abstract

Forest as the financial capital for development has important roles in economic development of Kotawaringin Barat Regency. Commonly, forest is a large area of land where flora (trees) and fauna (animals) exist. It can produce woods and other products for human consumption (production function), regulate the water system for human life, prevent flooding and sea water intrusion (protection function), and preserve many species of plants and animals and ecosystem (conservation function). Economically, forest as the source of woods, rattans and other products provided foreign exchange for the country during 1980-1990; this case placed the subsector of forestry as one of the prime movers in Indonesia’s economy. The purpose of this research was to analyze the extent of the foresty’s contribution to the economic development and social welfare in Kotawaringin Barat Regency. The research methodology was conducted by: a) interview, b) observation / field surveys and c) documentation (supporting data). The results showed that the contribution of forestry subsector in the economic development and social welfare of Kotawaringin Barat reached IDR 38.6 billion in 2011.

Abstract

This research projected the citizens and water demand in 13 regencies/cities in South Kalimantan Province from 2013 to the next 20 years. The results of the project were compared with the intake capacity to meet the demand in upcoming years. In projecting the population growth, five methods were used, namely aritmethic method, geometric method, linier regression method, exponential method and logarithmic method. The most appropriate method for projecting the population growth is the method which has the minimum value of standard deviation and the correlation value close to 1. Water demand was calculated based on some factors, such as the average water demand, the maximum level of water demand, and the water demand at peak hours. The existing intake capacity was then compared with the water demand projection. In almost all PDAM (Munipical Tap Water Company) observed, the capacity of water processing installation could not fullfill the water demand at the peak hours. The adequate intake capacity of PDAM was only in Balangan regency and Banjarmasin city.

Abstract

Fusarium wilt is one of the important banana diseases that lead to low quality and quantity of banana production. The objective of this study was to examine and study the resistance of some local banana varieties to fusarium wilt. Pathogens were isolated from the weevil of kepok banana (saba banana) that showed severe symptoms of Fusarium wilt. The inoculum was prepared by propagating the pathogens on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium. Inoculation was carried out using mycelium fragment suspension (12 mg hyphae mL-1 tween 20 0.05%). The roots of the two-week Ambon banana were injured and immersed in the suspension. Pathogens were determined using Koch's postulates. The varieties tested were seven (7) local banana varieties grown in South Kalimantan. Levels of resistance were determined based on the scale of Leaf Symptom Index (LSI). The pathogens were identified as Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense. The results showed that there were differences in the levels of resistance; Kepok banana (highly susceptible); yellow Ambon, Awa, Susu, Mahuli and Talas bananas (susceptible), and Manggala banana (tolerant).
