Abstract

Water pollution due to pesticide use in agricultural areas is an increasingly pressing environmental issue. Pesticides are used to control pests and plant diseases, often having negative consequences for water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Method: systematic methodological approach. This study uses a descriptive method to describe the level of river water pollution due to pesticide use. Selection of locations in rivers affected by agricultural activities. Results: Decreased Water Quality, Water quality parameters such as BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) often exceed the established quality standards. As in the Babon River, BOD and COD levels show an increase from upstream to downstream, reflecting the negative impacts of agricultural activities. Conclusion: the application of sustainable agricultural practices and farmer education, the negative impacts of this pollution can be minimized, thereby maintaining environmental quality and public health. To reduce water and soil pollution due to pesticides in agriculture, several measures can be applied such as pesticide precision, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and environmentally friendly pesticides. Manage pesticide waste safely, use bioremediation and phytoremediation, and increase farmer awareness.

Abstract

Introduction: Air pollution in urban environments impacts biodiversity, and disrupts ecosystem services that are essential for urban dwellers. One of the significant impacts of air pollution is on agricultural productivity in urban areas. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The aim was to analyze plant responses to air pollution. Results: Air pollutants such as tropospheric ozone can damage plant tissues and disrupt cell functions, including photosynthesis and respiration, resulting in decreased growth and yield. Air pollution can disrupt pollination and fruit and seed formation, reducing the quantity and quality of the crop. Pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) affect plant physiology and morphology, including stomata damage, decreased chlorophyll, and leaf growth. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that air pollution can damage plant tissues and disrupt cell functions, including photosynthesis and respiration, resulting in decreased growth and yield.

Abstract

Pollution is a serious problem faced by Indonesia, where many water sources are contaminated by domestic, industrial and agricultural waste. These sources of pollution include fecal waste, household waste, and hazardous chemicals such as heavy metals and microplastics, requiring effective solutions to restore the quality of aquatic ecosystems. Several mechanisms that occur during the phytoremediation process in reducing contaminants in water include phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytovolatilization and rhizofiltration. The success of the phytoremediation process is influenced by plant characteristics, environmental conditions, and the nature of pollutants. The level of phytoremediation efficiency in reducing pollutants can be estimated using the percentage reduction formula. Observations on plant growth such as biomass weight, root length, and plant height are needed to evaluate plant health and symptoms of phytotoxicity that may arise due to contact with contaminants on plants. Laboratory analysis of spectroscopy or chromatography is needed to determine quantitative data on the accumulation of heavy metals or other hazardous substances.

Abstract

The concept of green marketing mix is as well as the conventional marketing mix refers to the satisfaction of customer needs, wants, and desires related to the maintenance and preservation of the environment. Consumers interest in environmental care creates opportunities for companies to apply green marketing and to increase sales. Green marketing becomes an alternative strategy helps the company's image, adds value to the company's business, even consumers demand green choices and will to pay higher prices. The marketing strategy includes the company's external and internal factors. The marketing mix strategy is the basic idea and generic function of marketing which consists of product, price, place, and promotion elements to shape the occurrence of sales. Developing the concept of green marketing mix (green marketing mix) is inseparable from the traditional 4P concepts (product, price, place, promotion), except a number of additional component are closely related to the intent of green marketing itself and other very influential things. The implementation of a green marketing strategy requires a fundamental, comprehensive and integrated approach in all functional aspects of marketing, including the overall marketing mix, such as product design, pricing, location and promotion.
