Abstract

The government's desire to reopen and implement offline education has become a hot topic of discussion lately. The risk of spreading covid 19 to children is the concern of many people. For this reason, mitigation and prevention efforts need to be carried out to reduce the potential for the spread of covid 19. One effort that can be done is to make hand washing a good habit. The activity was carried out by providing training in making liquid hand soap for the community, especially teachers and school students in Dusun X to socialize how to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in schools. Activities are carried out through 5 (five) stages which include (1) Survey (2) Soap Making Test (3) Socialization; (4) Soap-making skills training; (5) Monitoring and Evaluation. It is hoped that the manufacture of natural handwash can be used for schools and school children in Dusun X Batangkuis Deliserdang to prevent covid 19 from going to face-to-face school in 2021.

Abstract

Yayasan Ekosistem Lestari (YEL) in Bahorok Research Station in Bahorok Sub-district, Langkat District, is a very important location for this work. The hilly terrain of the area provides a beautiful landscape and varied flora and fauna with the main attraction being the corpse flower (Amorphophallus sp). With a preserved natural environment and unique ecological features, this research station allows other parties to participate in protecting the area in various conservation campaign, one of which is the installation/establishment of conservation information boards. Conservation information boards can raise public awareness about the importance of protecting forests and their natural environment. Information on ecosystems, flora, fauna, management, and the importance of conservation can be conveyed through these information boards. Information boards are widely used as an educational tool for local communities and visitors to the forest at the research station. They can learn about forest ecology, the negative impacts of deforestation, and sustainable ways of utilizing forest resources. They can learn about forest ecology, the negative impacts of deforestation, and sustainable ways of utilizing forest resources. Information boards can also be used to invite community participation in conservation efforts, which is expected to improve the quality of knowledge and understanding of conservation areas for communities, researchers, and tourists. Therefore, the installation/establishment of conservation information boards needs to be carried out at Bahorok Research Station, Batu Katak as one of the campaign and solutions to maintain the natural conditions in the forest and river.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of five lichen species Cladonia portentosa, Cladonia rapii, Letharia vulpina, Parmotrema hypotropum, and Usnea trichodea collected from Sicike-Cike Nature Park, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Methanol extracts were prepared from dried and powdered lichen samples. Qualitative phytochemical screening using specific reagents identified the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids/steroids, and glycosides in varying levels among the species. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, with IC50 values ranging from 42.3244 µg/mL to 86.7479 µg/mL. Parmotrema hypotropum demonstrated the strongest antioxidant activity (IC50 = 42.3244 µg/mL), categorized as moderate based on literature benchmarks. The strong activity is likely due to the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins. In contrast, Usnea trichodea showed the weakest activity. These results suggest that certain lichens, especially Parmotrema hypotropum, may serve as promising sources of natural antioxidants. The findings support potential applications in pharmaceutical formulations and natural cosmetic products, particularly those targeting oxidative stress. Future studies should focus on isolating dominant compounds such as usnic acid or flavonoid derivatives and further exploring their bioactivity profiles.

Abstract

Biofertilizer is considered an alternative to chemical fertilizers for enhancing plant productivity while minimizing ecological damage. Endophytic bacteria have the ability to solubilize phosphate and produce IAA (indole acetic acid). The aim of this research is to assess the phosphate solubilization and IAA production abilities of bacterial isolates applied to chili plants. Seven bacterial isolates collection from the Microbiology Laboratory, Universitas Sumatera Utara, were tested. In quantitative tests conducted in vitro, isolates MB10 and MB11 demonstrated the highest phosphate solubilization capabilities, yielding solubilization indices of 16.2 mm and 9.5 mm, respectively. Additionally, the ability of bacterial isolates to produce IAA in vitro was evaluated using calorimetry, revealing that isolates MB8 and MB2 produced the highest concentrations of IAA, measuring 58.58 ppm and 54.64 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, in vivo application involved the inoculation of isolates MB10 and MB11 on chili plants for 30 days. Seed treatment with suspensions of isolates MB10 and MB11 resulted in decreased plant performance compared to the control. These findings indicate that some endophytic bacteria originating from the mangrove root Avicennia marina have potential for producing relatively high levels of secondary metabolites. However, direct application did not significantly enhance plant growth performance.

Abstract

Public interest in the use of medicinal plants continues to grow. One of the medicinal plants that has been developed is dayak union (Eleutherine bulboba Merr.), which is believed to be able to cure various diseases. This research aims to determine the best growth response of Dayak onion after the application of biosaka from the Asteraceae family. The main implications of biosaka for agriculture are significant cost efficiency in production, improved plant and soil health, and the promotion of sustainable and environmentally friendly farming by improving land ecosystems. Biosaka is made by taking 60 g of each plant and then grinding it until it is dark brown and slightly foamy. Biosaka extraction produces approximately 20 ml. The experiment was conducted at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of North Sumatra from December to March 2025. The design used in this experiment is a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatment levels of biosaka concentration, namely 0 ml/L, 3.5 ml/L, 4.5 ml/L, 5.5 ml/L, and 6.5 ml/L with eight replications. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 22 software with ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) test. If the treatment has a significant effect, it is followed by DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test). The research results show that the application of a biosaka concentration of 6.5 ml/L yielded the highest results and had a significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, tuber diameter and number of shoots and tubers per clump.
