Abstract

Using synthetic pesticides has polluted the environment, so efforts are needed to find alternative natural pesticides from plants. This study examines plant species with potential as botanical pesticides in Bowi Subur Village, Masni District, Manokwari Regency. The research method used is descriptive, with a sampling technique combining plot line transects, and it was conducted along 13 transects corresponding to the housing areas in Bowi Subur Village. The plants were documented, and relevant literature was reviewed. The inventory results identified 46 plant species from 25 families with pesticidal properties. Of these, 35 species are used for pest control, seven for disease management, and one for weed control. Additionally, three plant species were found to be effective for both pest and disease control. Most parts used for pesticide purposes are leaves, accounting for 19 plant species. We conclude that most species of plants used as natural pesticides are cultivated plants. Therefore, wild plants with potential for botanical pesticides are essential for further study their properties.

Abstract

Pressure on coastal water conditions in Manokwari caused by human activities can affect the morphometric adaptation of seagrass plants, one of which is Halophila ovalis. The study aimed to analyze the morphometric differences of Halophila ovalis caused by differences in environmental factors on several coastal areas in Manokwari. A total of 20 samples of H. ovalis were taken from each of the beaches studied and then four morphological characters were measured. Morphometric data of H. ovalis between locations were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), then continued with non-multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis. The results showed that there were changes in the morphometrics of H. ovalis from the four research locations. Specifically, it was found that the H. ovalis with the most different morphology came from Rendani Beach. NMDS analysis shows that the morphometrics of H. ovalis on Rendani Beach are separate from  from Yenkarwar, Wosi and Saubeba Beaches. The NMDS model was explain 74.19% of the morphometric diversity influenced by environmental parameters such as water temperature, substrate conditions, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen levels. We concluded that there had been morphometric changes in the seagrass H. ovalis in several coastal waters in Manokwari.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the use of plants as traditional medicine by indigenous Papuans in the Arfak Mountains. The local population residing in the villages of the Arfak Mountains primarily consists of the Arfak tribes, including the Hatam, Sough, and Meyah. These communities have traditionally relied on local plants to address various health issues. The research employed a descriptive method, incorporating interviews and direct field surveys. Respondents were selected based on their extensive knowledge of medicinal plant use. The results revealed that 20 plant species are utilized by the local population to treat a range of health conditions. These include coughs, colds, fevers, flatulence, itching, boils, malaria, external wounds, hypertension, body aches, internal pain, lumps, fertility issues, facilitation of childbirth, and ailments attributed to witchcraft. Some plants are used individually, while others are combined with different plants. Processing methods include mashing, boiling, or squeezing to extract the liquid. Utilization methods involve drinking, chewing and swallowing the juice, or applying it to affected areas. The plant parts used include leaves, stems, tubers, and flowers.
