Abstract

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest control method that combines several control techniques by considering ecological, economic, and sociological consequences. Management efforts with IPM principles can be conducted by cultivating healthy plants and entomopathogen application. This study examined the IPM package's success for controlling fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in maize field. This research was conducted in a farmer's maize plantation in the West Pasaman District from August to December 2021. The study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) which consisted of three treatments and five replications. The treatments were different cultivation techniques using IPM, Non-IPM, and control. The variables observed were the population of S. frugiperda (individual/plant), attack rate (%), attack intensity (%), cob weight (g/cob), and farming cost (IDR). The results showed that the IPM and Non-IPM maize cultivation techniques had no different effect on S. frugiperda, especially survival stage, attack rate, intensity, and yield. However, this effect was higher than the control. In addition, the economic benefits of cultivation with IPM were higher than non-IPM. Therefore, this IPM package can be recommended for controlling S. frugiperda because it is also economically profitable and environmentally friendly.

Abstract

Cocoa is a plantation commodity that is essential to the Indonesian economy. There are still many problems in cocoa cultivation found in the field, such as using poor-quality seedlings. One of the ways to do this is by taking preventive action by providing immunity induction from the seedling stage. Immunity induction can be done by utilizing Rhizobacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Entomopathogenic fungi, and vegetable pesticides. The Faculty of Agriculture of Universitas Andalas collaborated with the entrepreneurs through a Ministry of Education and Culture program, Matching Fund 2022, to make an innovation, namely the Teaching Farm for superior cocoa nurseries. This activity aims to socialize the cocoa nursery teaching farm in the hope of helping farmers prepare high-quality and sustainable cocoa seeds. This community service activity has been carried out at the Padang City Agriculture Office. The conclusions of this activity include: a) The community service program made by the Teaching Farm Team of Universitas Andalas is by the needs of the farmer group; the farmer group is satisfied and feels this service activity was helpful for the development of the Cocoa farmer group in the future, b) enrichment of understanding of farmer group members regarding biofertilizers and vegetable pesticides.

Abstract

Biomassa lignoselulosa merupakan limbah hasil pertanian, perkebunan yang mempunyai kandungan lignin, selulosa dan hemiselulosa. Biomassa lignoselulosa yang jumlahnya sangat melimpah dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi salah satu produk biokimia yaitu furfural karena memiliki kandungan hemiselulosa yang merupakan bahan yang dibutuhkan dalam pembuatan furfural. Furfural adalah pelarut yang dihasilkan dari hemiselulosa/pentosan tumbuhan (xylan,arabinan dan polyuronids). Furfural diperoleh dari hidrolisis bahan hemiselulosa menggunakan larutan asam. Furfural merupakan cairan tidak berwarna yang memiliki aroma khas yang berguna sebagai bahan perantara dalam industri. Proses komersial pertama untuk produksi furfural adalah dimulai oleh Quaker Oats pada tahun 1921. Saat ini, produksi furfural terkonsentrasi di China, lebih kurang 70% dari produksi furfural global. Kebutuhan (demand) furfural dan turunannya di dalam negeri meski tidak terlalu besar namun jumlahnya terus meningkat. Hingga saat ini seluruh kebutuhan furfural untuk dalam negeri diperoleh melalui impor. Review ini bertujuan untuk melihat potensi kandungan limbah biomassa dari komoditi unggulan di Sumatera Barat, diantaranya limbah tanaman jagung, limbah tanaman kelapa, limbah tanaman kelapa sawit, limbah tanaman tebu,dan limbah tanaman padi. Review yang dilakukan juga untuk melihat hubungan kandungan hemiselulosa dengan rendemen furfural dari limbah-limbah tersebut.Kata Kunci: Biomassa,  Lignoselulosa, Furfural, Hemiselulosa

Abstract

Cocoa is one of Indonesia's flagship commodities that significantly contributes to the nation's economy. However, recently, the fame of cocoa has been declining due to various issues affecting its cultivation, from upstream to downstream. One of these issues is the use of low-quality cocoa seeds, adversely impacting long-term production. This condition affects the enthusiasm of the community in cocoa cultivation, leading to a decline in national cocoa production. Hence, there's a need for early anticipation by socializing cocoa planting to the younger generation, especially those around the University Andalas campus in Padang. The objective of this activity is to impart knowledge about cocoa plants and the cocoa planting process to the younger generation around the University Andalas to support sustainable cocoa farming. The event took place in Sungai Balang, Pauh Kota Padang. The method employed was structured socialization to the younger generation at the University Andalas Campus. The activity's outcomes were evaluated through questionnaires. The results indicated high enthusiasm among the participants, with 87% expressing high satisfaction with the conducted activities, and 93% hoping for the sustainability of these initiatives. These results demonstrate an increased understanding among the younger generation at the University Andalas about cocoa plants, cocoa planting, and the entrepreneurial spirit based on cocoa planting. It's hoped that this initiative continues, supported by mentoring and guidance.

Abstract

Coconut-based production generates waste such as coconut husk, which contains up to 35% lignocellulose—a valuable raw material for furfural production. This study aimed to determine the impact of coconut maturity level and coconut husk section on the lignocellulose content in coconut husk. This study used a randomized group design with two factors: coconut maturity level and coconut husk section. The variables observed were moisture, extractive, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed for data analysis, followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The coconut fruits used were immature and mature ones. This study analyzed the husk at the proximal end, equator, and distal end of the coconut fruit. The results show significant effects of coconut maturity level on the chemical composition of coconut husk at the three sections of the coconut, indicating coconut husk’s potential as a raw material for furfural production.

Abstract

The use of coconuts produces agricultural waste such as coconut fiber. Immature coconut fiber and mature coconut fiber are lignocellulosic materials that can still be utilized, one of which is by processing them into furfural. Furfural is a clear liquid with a distinctive almond aroma that is widely used as an additive by the chemical industry. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the level of coconut fiber maturity with various catalyst concentrations and differences in reaction time on furfural yield. This study used two samples: mature coconut fiber and immature coconut fiber. The concentration variations used were 10%, 12%, and 14%. The time variations used were 20 and 30 minutes. From the results, it can be seen that the concentration, reaction time and type of raw material showed no significant effect on furfural yield. Young coconut fiber produced a higher yield than mature coconut fiber.
