Abstract

In oil palm plantations, weed control using herbicides is considered more practical than other control methods. This is due to the need for less manpower, shorter control execution times and longer control cycles. The ability of herbicides to control weeds is determined by the type of active ingredients they contain. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the 2 types of herbicides and the appropriate dosage levels to control weeds in oil palm fields. The research method used a nested design, testing 2 types of herbicides namely fluroxypyr-mepthyl and ammonium glufosinate. While the second treatment, tested the dose level of each herbicide. The tested dose levels for the herbicide fluroxypir-mepthyl were 0.1 l/ha, 0.3 l/ha, 0.5 l/ha, 0.7 l/ha and 0.9 l/ha. While the dose levels of ammonium glufosinate herbicide were 2.6 l/ha, 2.8 l/ha, 3.0 l/ha, 3.2 l/ha and 3.4 l/ha respectively. The results showed that the effectiveness of the herbicides fluroxypir meptyl and ammonium glufosinate to control weeds in oil palm plantations was not significantly different. The most effective dosage level of the herbicide fluroxypir meptyl for controlling weeds was 0.9 l/ha (average percentage of weed mortality was 74%). The dosage level of the ammonium glufosinate herbicide which resulted in the highest percentage of weed death (74.44%) resulted in an application dose of 3.4 l/ha. Application of the herbicides fluroxypir meptyl and ammonium glufosinate at all dose levels tested did not show toxicity in oil palm plants.

Abstract

The research was carried out in people's coffee plantations at 4 locations at different altitudes in Simalungun Regency. The aim of the research was to determine the intensity of attacks by the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei Ferr on land at different altitudes, and to determine the effectiveness of synthetic attractant traps to control it. The research method used a series design (randomized design series groups), which was carried out on coffee plantations at altitudes of 550, 850, 1,000 and 1,150 meters above sea level. At each plantation location, in an effort to control Hypothenemus hampei Ferr attacks, 3 (three) types of synthetic attractant traps were installed: Hypotan 500 SL, Koptan and Atrakop 500 L. The results of the research showed that the intensity of Hypothenemus hampei Ferr attacks tended to decrease in coffee plantation locations. higher above sea level and vice versa. The attractant types Hypotan 500 SL, Koptan and Atrakop 500 L showed no significant difference in effectiveness for trapping the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei Ferr. However, these 3 types of attractants have not been able to reduce the intensity of attacks from puso, heavy and moderate categories to light attack categories.
