Abstract

Utilising agricultural waste as an alternative energy source is an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and its negative impact on the environment. This research aims to examine the characteristics of biobriquettes from a mixture of coffee husk waste and sugarcane bagasse using sodium silicate adhesive, as well as analyse the effect of variations in material composition on the physical and thermal properties of biobriquettes. The composition of the ingredients varied in five ratios of coffee skins and sugarcane bagasse (80:20, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, and 20:80) grams with 15% sodium silicate adhesive. The proximate test results showed that the highest water content was 4.336%, the highest ash content was 0.69%, the highest volatile matter was 87.218%, and the highest bound carbon was 17.946%. For the test results, the highest calorific value was 6231.715 cal/gram with a composition of 80 coffee skins and 20 grams of sugarcane bagasse. This research proves that a mixture of coffee skins and sugar bagasse with sodium silicate adhesive has great potential as an alternative fuel, with the dominance of coffee skins producing more optimal biobriquette characteristics

Abstract

Abstract: Nutmeg is a plantation crop and has high economic value. Currently, the cultivation of nutmeg is experiencing many obstacles. One of them is termite pests. So far, the control is carried out using chemical insecticides and hurts the environment. Therefore it is necessary to control other environmentally friendly ways, and one of them is by using the fungi M. brunneum as an ecologically friendly bioinsecticide. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of M. brunneum as a bioinsecticide against the termite C. curvignathus as an essential pest in nutmeg plantations. This research using a completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that the mean percentage viability of M. brunneum conidia at each observation time was classified as useful. The germination of conidia increased to 89.78 % after 72 hours of observation. Conidia density 103/ mL distilled water. The highest mortality rate of C. curvignathus was found at a density of 1010 conidia/ mL of distilled water. The mean time of death for C. curvignathus after application of conidia density treatment of 1010/ mL of distilled water was 2.15 days and the death of C. curvignathus was 3.35 days using conidia density treatment 103/ mL of distilled water. 1 day after application reaches 33.20 % and increases to observation at 5 days after application reaches 100 %. The highest food inhibition occurred in treatment 1010/ mL distilled water (65.81 %) which was significantly different from treatment 105/ mL distilled water (43.23 %), and 103/ mL distilled water (41.61 %) and control (0.00).Abstrak: Pala merupakan tanaman perkebunan dan bernilai ekonomi tinggi. Pada saat ini budidayanya mengalami banyak hambatan. Satu diantaranya adalah serangan hama rayap. Selama ini  pengendalian hama rayap dilakukan dengan menggunakan insektisida kimia dan berpengaruh negatif terhadap lingkungan. Oleh karenanya perlu pengendalian cara lain yang ramah lingkungan dan satu diantaranya dengan menggunakan cendawan M. brunneum sebagai bioinsektisida yang ramah lingkungan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis efektivitas M. brunneum sebagai bioinsektisida terhadap hama rayap C. curvignathus. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Hama Tanaman dan Laboratorium Dasar Proteksi Tanaman Program Studi Proteksi Tanaman Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Syiah Kuala, sejak bulan Februari hingga September 2018, dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase viabilitas rata-rata dari konidia M. brunneum pada setiap waktu pengamatan tergolong efektif. Perkecambahan konidia semakin meningkat hingga mencapai 89,78 % setelah diamati pada jam yang ke 72. Rata-rata waktu kematian rayap C. curvignathus setelah aplikasi perlakuan kerapatan konidia 1010/ mL akuades adalah 2,15 hari dan terjadi kematian rayap C. curvignathus 3.35 hari dengan menggunakan perlakuan kerapatan konidia 103/ mL akuades. Rata-rata mortalitas tertinggi rayap C. curvignathus ditemukan pada perlakuan kerapatan konidia 1010/mL aquades. 1 HSA mencapai 33,20% dan meningkat hingga pengamatan pada 5 HSA mencapai 100%. Daya hambat makan tertinggi terjadi pada perlakuan 1010/ mL aquades (65,81%) yang berbeda nyata dengan perlakuan 105/mL aquades (43,23%) dan 103/ mL aquades (41,61%) serta kontrol (0,00%).

Abstract

Crocidolomia pavonana is an important pest of cruciferous crops that can cause severe damage and significantly reduce yield quality. Pest management in agricultural fields is still largely dependent on synthetic insecticides, which pose potential risks to the environment and human health. Consequently, the development of safer and more sustainable control strategies is required, including the use of plant-based insecticides. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) flower extract as a botanical insecticide against C. pavonana larvae under in vitro laboratory conditions. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with five extract concentrations, namely 0% (control), 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. Parameters observed included antifeedant activity, larval mortality, pupation rate, and adult emergence. The results demonstrated that the application of torch ginger flower extract had a highly significant effect on all observed parameters. Antifeedant activity and larval mortality increased with increasing extract concentration, with the highest mortality reaching 100% at the 8% concentration. In addition, the extract markedly suppressed pupal formation and adult emergence compared with the control. These insecticidal effects are presumably associated with secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which interfere with insect physiological processes and metabolism. Therefore, torch ginger flower extract shows strong potential as an effective and environmentally friendly botanical insecticide for controlling C. pavonana on cruciferous crops.

Abstract

Understanding predator behavior and predation capacity is essential for determining their potential as biological control agents. This study aimed to evaluate the searching time, handling time, and predation ability of three predators Syrphidae larvae, Coccinella sp. larvae, and Curinus coeruleus adults at different prey densities. Five prey-density treatments (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 individuals) were tested using3 Heteropsylla cubana as prey for C. coeruleus and Rhopalosiphum maidis for Syrphidae and Coccinella sp. The results showed that increasing prey density significantly shortened the searching time of all predators. C. coeruleus demonstrated the fastest searching ability, followed by Syrphidae and Coccinella sp. Handling time also varied among predators, with C. coeruleus requiring the shortest time due to its chewing-type mouthparts, compared with the piercing–sucking mouthparts of Syrphidae and Coccinella sp. Predation capacity differed across predators; only C. coeruleus successfully consumed all prey at every density within 6 hours, while the other predators reached satiation at higher densities. Overall, C. coeruleus exhibited the highest efficiency across all parameters, indicating its strong potential as an effective biological control agent. Increasing prey density consistently enhanced predation activity, highlighting the importance of prey availability in predator effectiveness.

Abstract

This community service program was conducted in Dilib Lamteungoh Village, Sukamakmur Sub-District, Aceh Besar Regency, with the aim of supporting the growth of palawija crops through the implementation of a fertilization and irrigation (fertigation) system. The activity involved students participating in the Community Service Program (KKN), a Field Supervising Lecturer, and the village head. The implementation methods included field surveys, technical demonstrations, direct practice, and system performance evaluation. The fertigation system was designed using a pump, piping network, water filter, connectors, and sprinklers to ensure efficient and uniform water distribution. System evaluation was carried out through operational testing to assess functionality, water flow stability, and distribution performance. The results showed that the fertigation system operated properly and was able to deliver water effectively to the cultivated area. Additionally, technical guidance was provided to ensure proper operation and maintenance of the system. Overall, this program contributed to improving agricultural infrastructure at the village level and demonstrated the potential of simple fertigation technology to support sustainable crop production in rural areas.
