Abstract

Turi (Sesbania grandiflora) is a high-protein forage legume with significant potential to support ruminant nutrition in tropical regions. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR; Rhizomax) on the vegetative growth of turi as an indicator of forage productivity in ultisol soil. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and five replicates: P0 (without PGPR), P1 (100 ml/plant), P2 (200 ml/plant), P3 (300 ml/plant), and P4 (400 ml/plant). The measured variables included plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaf stalks. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test when appropriate. The results showed that different doses of PGPR had no significant effect (P>0.05) on any of the observed parameters during the early vegetative phase. This indicates that PGPR application did not enhance the early growth performance or potential forage biomass production of turi under the conditions of this study. The lack of response is likely associated with the early growth stage, where external nutrient supplementation is not critical for plant development. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of PGPR on Turi as a forage crop may require longer observation periods or integration with additional nutrient sources to be fully realized.

Abstract. Arief, Rudimansyah, Sowmen S, Rizqan RP. 2020. Milk production and quality of Etawa crossbreed dairy goat that given Tithonia diversifolia, corn waste and concentrate based palm kernel cake. Biodiversitas 21: 4004-4009. The research aims to evaluate the production and quality of goat milk of Etawa crossbreed dairy goat (ECDG) which is fed by Tithonia diversifolia (T), corn waste (CW), and concentrate-based palm kernel cake (CBP),. The experimental design used in this study was a completely random design (CRD) with four times treatment rations and five times replications. There are five treatments used in this research which are; treatment A used 60 % T + 40 % tofu-dregs; B used 60 % T + 20% tofu-dregs + 20% CBP; C used 45 % T + 15% CW + 20% tofu-dregs + 20% CBP; D used 30 % T + 30% CW + 20% tofu-dregs + 20% CBP. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Varian (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for further tests. The parameters measured were milk production and milk quality, which covers dry matter, water content, protein, fat, solid non-fat, and lactose. The result showed that the treatment gave no significant effect (P> 0.05) of milk production, dry matter, protein, fat, solid non-fat, and lactose. The study concluded that the use of T. diversifolia, corn-waste, and CBP could maintain milk production quality.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance the capacity of beekeepers in colony management and methods for propagating galo-galo bee colonies within the Bangun Sejahtera Indonesia (BSI) honey bee cultivation group. The background to this activity is the high rate of extinction of partner galo-galo colonies. The high rate of colony collapse has a significant impact on the economy of beekeepers, a decline in their honey production, as well as ecological consequences in the surrounding area, including a decline in pollinators. The activity was carried out through training, which began with an information session on factors that support colony survival, such as sufficient plant vegetation, anticipation of predator attacks, and optimal colony maintenance management. The main achievement of this activity was that approximately 60% of the ten trap boxes installed during training were successfully colonized by new galo-galo colonies within four weeks. This result demonstrates that the training improved beekeepers’ knowledge and skills in caring for colonies and installing trap boxes, which directly increased the number of colonies owned by beekeepers. Additionally, the success of colony acquisition through trap boxes can reduce the felling of trees where galo-galo nest in the wild, one tree for one colony.
