Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to study influence utilization of composted corn straw fertilizer in improving the production of plant corn (Zea mays L.) on an ultisol soil. The research was conducted at Koto kari Kuantan Singingi of Riau, from Mei to July 2017. It used a Randomized Bolock Design Consisting of 5 levels of treatment and 3 groups so that there are 15 experimental units. The treatment given is: A = No Treatment (control), B = Compost of Corn Straw 10 tons / ha + 100% inorganic fertilizer, C = Corn straw Compost 20 tons / ha + 100% inorganic fertilizer, D = Corn straw Compost 30 tons / Ha + 100% inorganic fertilizer, E = 100% Inorganic Fertilizer. The observed parameters were Plant height (cm), Age of female flower (HST), Harvest Age (HST), Heavy corn weight (gram), and Weight of corn without gram (gram). Data of observation result of each treatment were analyzed statistically and performed by Brightness Honest test (BNJ) at 5% level. Composting of corn straw compost has significant effect on all parameters of observation, where the best treatment is the application of 30 tons / ha of 100 ml of corn straw compost / 100 inorganic fertilizer.

Abstract

Sustaining and improving melon production is essential to fulfill the increasing demand for melon fruit in Indonesia. In order to maintain this level of production, it is necessary to utilize insecticides to manage the pests that pose a threat to melon crops. This research aims to assess the impact of insecticide application on the pollination activity of Heterotrigona itama, a vital pollinating insect for melon plants. This research aimed to investigate the effect of Heterotrigona itama activity on melon plants in a greenhouse treated with insecticides. The study was carried out utilizing a survey-based methodology. Data was collected on several aspects of Heterotrigona items' behavior before and after applying insecticides. The research findings demonstrated that using insecticides on melon crops within a controlled environment decreased the frequency of visits from Heterotrigona itama to the melon flowers. Additionally, it was observed that the application of insecticides resulted in the mortality of Heterotrigona itama within the initial six days following the insecticide spraying. On the second day, the maximum number of individuals present was 14. The analysis of Heterotrigona itama honey revealed that the detected levels of pesticide residues were lower than the benchmark dose response (BMR) threshold.

Abstract

Land conversion from rubber plantations to oil palm plantations is increasingly common in Indonesia, including in Pulau Binjai Village, Kuantan Mudik District, Kuantan Singingi Regency, Riau Province. Land preparation for oil palm plantations can affect soil fertility, particularly nutrient content. This study aims to evaluate the nutrient content in one-year-old oil palm plantations. The methods used in this study included surveys and laboratory analyses. Soil sampling was conducted at 10 locations using purposive random sampling at a depth of 20 cm, with 5 locations sampled using the grid method and 5 using the disc method. Each sample location consisted of 5 subsamples, which were then composited. The results showed that the soil pH in the grid ranged from 5.96 to 6.48 (acidic category), while in the disc it ranged from 6.2 to 6.88 (acidic to neutral category). The organic carbon content in the grid ranged from 2.61 to 3.74 (medium to high category), and in the plate from 2.82 to 4.28 (medium to high category). The total nitrogen content in the grid ranged from 0.20 to 0.25 (low to medium category), while in the plate it ranged from 0.21 to 0.29 (medium category). The C/N ratio in the grid ranged from 11.16 to 17.00 (medium to high category), and in the plate from 10.44 to 14.75 (low to medium category). The key findings of this research include the identification of organic carbon and nitrogen content in the soil, which enables recommendations for the application of organic and nitrogen fertilizers in the study area.
