Abstract

This study aims to analyze the correlation between the area of oil palm plantations and oil palm production in Indonesia, especially in the Sumatra and Kalimantan regions which are the centers of oil palm plantation distribution. Data collection using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), this study aims to determine the relationship between the increase in land area and oil palm plantation production over the past 10 years. This study uses a quantitative method with a correlative approach. Data analysis was carried out using a bivariate correlation Pearson correlation test to determine the positive relationship between plantation area and oil palm production. The results of the analysis showed a significant positive relationship between the land area variable and oil palm production in both the Sumatra and Kalimantan regions, this is indicated by a positive number and a strong correlation of 0.852 for the Sumatra region and very strong, namely 0.996 for the Kalimantan region. In addition, the results of the interpretation of the correlation by looking at Sig. (2-tailed) also show that between the land area variable and production there is a significant correlation, namely 0.002 for the Sumatra region and a value of 0.000 for the Kalimantan region. Although the correlation between land area and production shows a positive value and has a very strong correlation, there are still other factors such as technology, climate, and management practices that also play a role in influencing palm oil production results.

Abstract

Some types of plants can serve as plant-based insecticides. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and Turmeric (Curcuma domestica) are ingredients that are often used as pesticides on various plant pests. Spodoptera litura itself is a pest that is quite annoying in various plants. The study aimed to examine ginger (Zingiber officinale) and turmeric (Curcuma domestica) extracts as insecticides to control armyworms (Spodoptera litura). The research was carried out in Pelemsari Village, Prenggan, Kotagede, Yogyakarta from May to June 2022. The study used a Complete Random Design (RAL) with 2 factors. The first factor is the type of extract, namely ginger and turmeric. The second factor is the concentration of the extract which consists of 3 levels, namely 20%, 40%, 60% and control, each treatment is repeated 3 times. To find out the real difference between the data treatments, the observation results were analyzed with Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the real level of 5%. Ginger and turmeric extracts at a concentration of 20% have been able to control S. litura larvae. Ginger extract is more effective compared to turmeric extract based on the mortality test, efficacy, death rate, and feed spoilage rate of S. litura larvae. The research is still in the experimental stage in the laboratory and needs to be tested in the field to get an effective dose for armyworms.

Abstract

The rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) is a fairly important pest in oil palm plants, especially in young or unproductive plants. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of pheromones and lamps as horn beetle traps. The research was carried out in a community plantation in Sungai Lala, Kelawat District, Indragiri Hulu, Riau. The research was carried out for 1 month, with tools in the form of lamp traps and pheromones, as well as a combination of both.  The results showed that the combination of pheromones with trap lights provided the most catch compared to single treatment. There was no difference in the catch of male and female beetles in all treatments. It is hoped that the results of this research can be used to control rhino beetles in a simple way in community plantations.

Abstract

Orchid Ph. amabilis is one of the plants designated as "Indonesian National Flower" and designated as "Puspa Pesona Indonesia". Orchid Ph. amabilis has a diversity that is not widely known, so that it is necessary to identify it molecularly. DNA isolation is the first step in molecular testing. This study aims to determine the sample weight, incubation time and the appropriate isolation method for DNA isolation from samples of Ph.amabilis orchid roots. In this study, the DNA isolation stage used two experimental methods, namely the CTAB method (Murray and Thompson) and the mini kit. The research method used was a single factor experiment with a combination of sample weight and incubation time consisting of 6 treatments with 3 replications, so 18 experimental units were obtained. The experimental treatment used was from the roots of the orchid Ph. amabilis which has a sample weight of 0.25 g, 0.5 g, and 0.75 g and each sample weight treatment was incubated for 30 minutes and 60 minutes. In addition, DNA isolation using the kit method had a sample weight of 0.25 g, 0.5 g and 0.75 g and an incubation period of 10 minutes. The results showed that the DNA isolation of Ph. amabilis with a sample weight of 0.75g, incubation time of 30 minutes using the CTAB method showed the best treatment in producing DNA with a concentration of 384 ng/µl and a purity of 1.9. This study is expected to provide information on sample weight, incubation time and the appropriate method for DNA isolation of Ph. amabilis orchid roots.

Abstract

Cashew nut skin is considered as waste, whereas cashew nutshell extract, or called CNSL (Cashew Nut Shell Liquid), has the potential as a botanical insecticide that can control insect pests. Helopeltis sp is a pest that often attacks cacao plants. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of cashew nutshell extract as a botanical insecticide to control  Helopeltis sp. in cacao plants. The study used a randomized block design (RBD) with seven treatments and three replications. Testing CNSL on adult (imago) and pre-adult (nymph) insects. CNSL concentrations used are 0%, 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50% and 100%. The results showed that cashew nutshell extract has strong toxicity. A concentration of 3.125% can kill 100% of the imago Helopeltis sp. (72 hours after application) for the nymph Helopeltis sp. (48 hours after application). LC50 values 24 hours after application for imago and nymph were 4.63% and 0.94%, and LC99 for imago and nymph was 42.62% and 23.89%.  Furthermore,  cashew nut extract can be used as a botanical insecticide to control other plant pests.

Abstract

The oil palm plantation industry adheres to the concept of sustainability paradigm on 3 main principles, namely profit, people (social society) and planet (environment). One of the social issues is to keep community involvement in running the oil palm plantation business process stable. With the existence of social problems in the community regarding oil palm plantations, the company as a stakeholder seeks to implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs with the hope of establishing a harmonious relationship between the company and the local community and the establishment of cooperation so that the community benefits both socially, economically and culturally. This potential mapping program is expected to be the foundation for oil palm plantation companies to determine appropriate coaching programs to improve the welfare of the community around the company by analyzing the description of production aspects, market aspects, administrative financial aspects, human resource aspects, sustainability aspects in each potential business. The research is focused on 2 sub-districts and 1 district in the province of Central Kalimantan. From the results of the analysis , it was concluded that the potential for CSR for horticulture committees and fisheries and livestock commodities became a priority program due to limited needs and supplies.

Abstract

The extensive use of synthetic insecticides has led to environmental contamination, pest resistance, and adverse effects on non-target organisms. Botanical insecticides provide a safer alternative for sustainable pest management. This study evaluated the insecticidal activity of betel leaf (Piper betle L.) and Lantana camara leaf extracts against armyworm (Spodoptera litura).  A laboratory bioassay was conducted using three extract concentrations (30%, 40%, and 50%) arranged in a completely randomized design. Larval mortality was recorded daily for seven days after application and analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. Both botanical extracts significantly increased larval mortality over time. Mortality began to rise on the second day and increased sharply on the third and fourth days after application. By the fifth day, all extract treatments resulted in nearly 100% mortality, while no mortality occurred in the control. Cumulative mortality patterns indicated that Lantana camara induced a faster initial lethal effect, whereas Piper betle showed a slightly delayed but equally effective response. No significant differences were observed among concentrations, indicating that a 30% concentration was sufficient for effective control. These results highlight the potential of betel leaf and Lantana camara extracts as effective botanical insecticides for armyworm management.
