Abstract

Plants can grow and reach maximum production on optimum soil condition. Plants growth and agricultural machines application in farm fields were influenced by physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of soil. Granule organic fertilizer (GOF) application with a certain dosage could influence physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of soil. The objective of the research was to analyse interaction relationship between physical and mechanical soil properties alterations on GOF dosages variation. Soil consistency test, compaction test (Proctor’s test), and direct shear test were applied to soil samples on GOF dosages variation. Research results showed that the increasing of GOF dosages from 0 ton/ha up to 90 tons/ha would increase soil posity of (49.43-55.85)%, soil moisture content of (24.14-49.97)%, plastic limit of (35.96-41.82)%, and liquid limit of (56.01-61.75)%, but it would decrease maximum soil dry bulk density of (1.34-1.17) g/cc. Soil shear strength decreased from (0.91-1.41) kgf/cm2 down to (0.42-0.58) kgf/cm2 by the decreasing of soil dry bulk density of (1.14-1.09) g/cc and soil cohesion of (0.68-0.34) kgf/cm2 which resulted by the increasing of the GOF dosages.Keywords: soil shear strength, granule organic fertilizer, soil density, and soil cohesion

Abstract

Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengkaji potensi mekanisasi budidaya tebu lahan kering di Kabupaten Merauke, Propinsi Papua. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa tanah di wilayah survey (Domande dan Kaliki) sangat potensial dalam menopang operasional mesin untuk pekerjaan pembukaan lahan, pembentukan lahan, dan penyiapan lahan sehingga tanah di wilayah survey berpotensi untuk aplikasi mekanisasi budidaya tebu lahan kering. Semua mesin (alat berat) merk Komatsu dan Caterpillar (ground pressure 0,26– 2,67 kgf/cm2) bisa dioperasikan di wilayah survey karena besar tahanan penetrasi tanah rata-rata hingga kedalaman 10 cm di lokasi survey sebesar 3,58 – 10,33 kgf/cm2. Tanah yang lebih dalam berpotensi memiliki densitas tanah maksimum lebih tinggi dibanding tanah di atasnya, sehingga perlu tindakan pengolahan tanah optimum lebih dari 40 cm. Nilai permeabilitas tanah rata-rata semakin turun pada lapisan tanah yang semakin dalam, yaitu dari 0,2625 mm/jam menjadi 0,0122 mm/jam dan dari 0,2567 mm/jam menjadi 0,0312 mm/jam. Tanah di wilayah survey tergolong tanah berdrainase buruk karena waktu peresapan air rata-rata ke dalam tanah lebih dari 30 hari, sehingga perlu rekayasa untuk membuat saluran-saluran drainase dalam dan kolam penampungan air yang bisa dimanfaatkan tanaman tebu lahan kering pada musim kering (kemarau). Waktu tersedia untuk operasional mesin sebanyak ± 14 hari/bulan dan sesuai untuk budidaya tanaman tebu lahan kering.The objective of the research was to study mechanization potency of dry land sugarcane cultivation in Merauke County, Papua Province with indicators were ability of machines to travel across soil surface on natural or field existing of soil physical and mechanical conditions, and ability of dry land sugarcane to grow and make interaction with new growing environment from planting up to harvesting. Results of the research showed that soil in surveyed region (Domande and Kaliki) were very potential in machines operational supporting for land clearing, land forming, and land preparation so that it had potency for mechanization application of dry land sugarcane cultivation. All machines with trade mark of Komatsu and Caterpillar (ground pressure of 0.26 – 2.67 kgf/cm2) could be operated in surveyed regions because the amount of average soil penetration resistance up to 10 cm depth in the surveyed regions were 3.58 – 10.33 kgf/cm2. Deeper soil layers possessed higher maximum soil dry bulk density than above soil layer, so that it needed optimum soil tillage action more than 40 cm from soil surface. Average soil permeabilities decreased on the deeper soil layers possessed higher maximum soil dry bulk density than above soil layer, so that it needed optimum soil tillage action more than 40 cm from soil surface. Average soil permeabilities decreased on the deeper soil layer, which were from 0.2625 mm/hour became 0.0122 mm/hour and from 0.2567 mm/hour became 0.0312 mm/hour. Soils in surveyed regions were categorized as bad drainage soil because it need average infiltration time more than 30 days, so that it need engineering application to make deep drainage canals and water ponds which can be took advantage by plant during draught season. Operational available time for machines operation was ± 14 days/month and suitable for dry land sugarcane cultivation.

Abstract

Harga gula pasir, yang sekarang sudah mencapai lebih dari Rp 12.000,-/kg nampak semakin sulit dikendalikan Harga gula yang semakin menggiurkan tersebut akan memicu perusahaan-perusahaan gula nasional meningkatkan produktivitas tebu (Tonne Cane Per Hectare :TCH) dan rendemen giling supaya diperoleh produktivitas gula (Tonne Sugar per Hectare:TSH) tinggi sehingga diperoleh keuntungan besar. Produksi tebu merupakan fungsi dari tanaman, tanah, iklim, dan tindakan budidaya. Faktor iklim adalah faktor yang tidak bisa dimanipulasi sehingga merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang sangat perlu untuk dipertimbangkan pada budidaya tebu lahan kering. Di beberapa lokasi pabrik gula di Indonesia dilaporkan bahwa TCH, rendemen giling, dan TSH mengalami penurunan akibat pengaruh iklim, yaitu akibat bergesernya (mundur) saat turun hujan pada masa pemeliharaan tebu dan hujan yang masih turun dengan curah hujan cukup tinggi pada saat panen (tebang) tebu. Saat turun hujan yang terlambat menyebabkan tanaman tebu mengalami kekeringan dan berupaya untuk bertahan hidup dengan cara mengurangi/membatasi penguapan, seperti menutup stomata daun, dan memperlambat pertumbuhan tanaman (ditandai dengan ruas-ruas tebu yang pendek) sehingga pada saat dipanen akan dihasilkan TCH rendah. Hujan yang masih turun ketika musim panen tebu menjadi penyebab utama turunnya rendemen giling dan tidak terangkutnya tebu tebang karena mobilitas kendaraan-kendaraan angkut yang sangat rendah pada kondisi tanah becek yang mengakibatkan turunnya TSH dan kapasitas giling (Tonne Cane per Day:TCD). Disamping itu, penggunaan mesin-mesin tebang tebu juga tidak bisa efektif akibat kondisi tanah tidak mendukung untuk pengoperasian mesin-mesin tersebut. Dengan demikian, perlu ditataulang perencanaan dan teknik budidaya tebu lahan kering, termasuk mekanisasi, guna mengantisipasi dampak perubahan iklim yang dapat mempengaruhi besaran TCH, rendemen giling, TSH, dan TCD.Sugar price was seemed more and more complicated controlled, that now it achieved more than Rp 12,000,00/kg. The fantastic sugar price would initiate national sugar companies to increase sugarcane productivity (TCH) and yield mill in order to achieve high sugar productivity (TSH) so that the companies would obtain big profit. Sugarcane production was as a function of plant, soil, climate, and cultivation effort. Climate factor was non-manipulated factor so that it was one of important factor that must be considered on dry land sugarcane cultivation. In several locations of sugarcane factories in Indonesia, it reported that the decreasing of TCH, yield mill, and TSH were caused by climate impact that is caused by late rainy season on sugarcane maintenance activities and big precipitations during sugarcane harvesting season. The late rainy season caused draught period for sugarcane plants and it attempt to survive by decreased or restricted its evaporation, for example it closed its leaves stomata and it decelerated its growth (which it signed by short stem sections) so that it would caused low sugarcane productivity. The rain during harvesting season would be main factor for yield mill decreasing and harvested sugarcane could not be loaded because of very low vehicles mobility on wet soil surface conditions that caused decreasing of sugar productivity and milling capacity (TCD). Beside that, sugarcane harvester machines could not be applied effectively as a result of wet soil conditions could not support for that machines operation. It can be concluded that it must be rearranged for dry land sugarcane cultivation planning to anticipate climate alteration impact that can influence TCH, yield mill, TSH, and TCD achievements.

Abstract

Aplikasi herbisida (herbiciding) di kebun tebu lahan kering dapat digunakan untuk mengantisipasi penurunan produktivitas tebu akibat serangan hama maupun persaingan tumbuh dengan gulma. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan efektivitas dan efisiensi aplikasi herbisida dengan menggunakan knapsack sprayer (KS), knapsack power sprayer (KPS), dan boom sprayer (BS). Aplikasi herbisida dilakukan di areal kebun tebu lahan kering milik PT Laju Perdana Indah (LPI), Palembang pada bulan Maret 2012. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan KPS lebih efektif dibanding KS karena gulma-gulma yang mati setelah herbiciding yang menggunakan KPS sebesar 77,0 persen, sedangkan yang menggunakan KS sebesar (53,6-59,5) persen. Kecepatan operasi aplikasi herbisida rata-rata dengan menggunakan KS, KPS, dan BS berturut-turut sebesar 0,56 m/detik, 0,59 m/detik, dan 2,00 m/ detik sehingga mempengaruhi besar kapasitas lapang efektif aplikasi herbisida berturut-turut sebesar (0,10-0,11) ha/jam, 0,20 ha/jam, dan 2,66 ha/jam. Besar debit aliran herbisida dengan menggunakan KS, KPS, dan BS berturut-turut sebesar (60,69-65,40) liter/jam, 85,30 liter/jam, dan 1206,00 liter/jam, sehingga menghasilkan throwputcapacity sebesar (588,64-617,01) liter/ha, 418,94 liter/ha, dan 453,87 liter/ha. Perbedaan hasil unjuk kerja ketiga jenis sprayer tersebut menghasilkan perbedaan efisiensi aplikasi herbisida. Dengan menggunakan KS dan KPS terjadi ketidakefisienan (inefficiency) sebesar (47,2-54,3) persen dan 4,7 persen, atau terdapat pemborosan aplikasi herbisida sebesar (188,64- 217,01) liter/ha dan 18,94 liter/ha. Penggunaan BS ternyata lebih efisien yaitu terdapat penghematan sebesar 146,13 liter/ha (24,4 persen).Herbiciding at dry land sugarcane plantation can be used to anticipate decreasing sugarcane productivity caused by pest attack or growing competition with weeds. The objective of the research was to determine herbiciding effectiveness and efficiency using knapsack sprayer (KS), knapsack power sprayer (KPS), and boom sprayer (BS). Herbiciding was conducted on dry land sugarcane area of Laju Perdana Indah (LPI) Company, Palembang in March 2012. The results showed that the use of KPS was more effective than KS because the killed weeds after herbiciding using KPS was 77.0 percent, whereas using KS was (53.6-59.5) percent Herbiciding operational speeds using KS, KPS, and BS were 0.56 m/s, 0.59 m/s, and 2.00 m/s in average respectively, so that they influenced effective field capacity herbiciding of (0.10-0.11) ha/h, 0.20 ha/h, and 2.66 ha/h respectively. Herbicide solution debits using KS, KPS, and BS were (60.69-65.40) litre/h, 85.30 litre/h, and 1206.00 litre/h, so that they produced capacities of (588.64-61.01) litre/ha, 418.94 litre/ha, and 453.87 litre/ha. Difference in performances of the three sprayers would produce differences in herbiciding efficiency. The use of KS and KPS would produce inefficiency of (47.2- 54.3) percent and 4.7 percent, or there was any herbicide solution prodigality or providence of (188.64- 217.01) litre/ha and 18.94 litre/ha. The use of BS was more efficient because it could save herbicide solution of 146.13 litre/ha (24.4 percent).

Abstract

Palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) is a tropical plant that can be attacked by various pests, start from nurseries to plantations, so it is necessary to eradicate pests. Generally, the pests is eradicated by applying pesticides using fogging machines brought down by farmers so that they are ineffective in reaching high plants, and hot smoke from fogging machines can damage oil palm leaves. This study aims to design a tool that can optimize the application of pesticide fog to oil palm plants at a certain height. The tool's design in the form of a mobile spray fogger also aims to facilitate the operator in applying pesticide fog at various heights of oil palm and, simultaneously, can reduce the impact of damage to oil palm leaves. The research method was carried out by testing the performance of pesticide fog spraying in the laboratory and the performance test of applying pesticide fog using mobile spray foggers on the land. Furthermore, pesticide smoke from fogging machines was optimized by combining electric sprayers and air blowers so that pesticide fog is formed, reducing the temperature of pesticide smoke, and increasing the range of fogging. The performance of the combination of outputs from fogging machines, electric sprayers, and air blowers on mobile spray fogger produces a droplet diameter of 94.41 μm, droplet density of 365.44 droplet/cm2, effective fogging range of 8.63 m, effective fogging width of 0.91 m, and an average temperature decrease of 4°C.

Abstract

Oil palm trees that are more than 25 years old generally have low productivity of oil palm fruit and will decrease in productivity. For this reason, it is necessary to replant oil palm plants so that their productivity can be maintained high and increased. The aim of this research is to study the technique of replanting oil palm plants in mineral soil areas in the area of Kebun Aek Loba, PT Socfindo, Asahan Regency, North Sumatra Province and in the peatland area of Kebun Mandah Estate, PT Bhumireksa Nusa Sejati, Riau Province. Soil types in the Aek Loba garden area were dominated by mineral soils of the typic hapludult class and made from mother rock tufo toba and young alluvium with a soil pH of 5.5. Mandah Estate plantation area is 100% peat soil with a composition of 74% mature peat (sapric) and 26% medium peat (hemic). Peat is more than 3 meters deep (including very deep peat) and has a crumbly texture so it is easy to erode. The peat soil includes ombrogin peat (formed from large swampy plains), has a high acid content with a pH < 5.5, and has a peat soil density of (1.25 - 1.80) g / cc. Replanting activities in mineral soil areas include ripping, plowing, chipping, holing to planting with a large field capacity (0.04 - 0.72) ha / hour and a total time of completion of work (total field time) of 139.5 hours / ha. Replanting activities in peatland areas include falling, chipping, deboling, holing and planting with a large field capacity (0.06 - 1.25) ha / hour and a total field time of 73.7 hours / ha. Keywords: field capacity, mineral soils, peatlands, replanting, total field time

Abstract

This study aims to design and analyze the performance of the centrifugal fan water for weed control and compare it with the performance of air blowers that use axial fans. This study consists of three stages, namely design and manufacturing, testing in the laboratory, as well as testing for controlling dry land weeds in the field. There are 6 treatments tested, namely a combination of two types of fans (axial and centrifugal) and three types of cone nosel (4 holes, 5 holes, and 6 holes). The results showed that the centrifugal fan air blower displays good performance according to functional design and structural design.  Centrifugal fan blower performance is more effective than axial fan air blower because centrifugal fan blower is able to produce smaller (smoother) droplet diameters and larger droplet density (more tight) so that it has a greater herbiciding ability than axial fan air blower water .  Centrifugal fan blower can produce a droplet diameter of 94 microns to 118 microns more fine than axial fan of 246 microns to 299 microns.  The centrifugal fan blower can produce a larger droplet density (tight) of 369 droplets/cm2 to 538 droplets/cm2 compared to the axial fan of 74 droplets/cm2 to 117 droplets/cm2.  The centrifugal fan blower water produces a spraying discharge of 1.22 liters/minute to 1.41 liters/minute is smaller than the axial fan of 2.33 liters/minute to 2.93 liters/minute.  The ability of centrifugal fan herbiciding is 76.21% to 78.02% greater than axial fan of 76.36% to 77.41%. Keywords: Air Blower, Axial Fan, Centrifugal Fan, Herbiciding, Weeds
