Abstract

This groundbreaking study ventures into uncharted territory to explore the vast potential of Plant Growth Promoting Fungi (PGPF) as multifaceted allies in agricultural sustainability. Departing from traditional paradigms, the research sets out to identify and characterize non-pathogenic fungal isolates with the capacity to serve as potent PGPF agents. Employing a pioneering approach, fungal isolates are meticulously collected from the rhizosphere of plants, heralding a new era of ecological exploration at the microorganism level. Rigorous testing for pathogenicity on soybean seeds unveils a rich reservoir of fungi diversity, with 18 isolates demonstrating remarkable efficacy in enhancing germination rates and promoting vigorous seedling growth. These findings not only underscore the pivotal role of PGPF in bolstering plant health and resilience but also herald a paradigm shift in sustainable agriculture. With the potential to serve as biopesticides for plant protection and biofertilizers for enhancing growth, these PGPF isolates offer a promising avenue for reducing reliance on synthetic inputs and mitigating environmental impacts. Moreover, their integration into integrated disease management strategies holds the promise of synergistic efficacy, paving the way for holistic approaches to agricultural sustainability. This research not only expands the frontiers of knowledge surrounding PGPF but also lays the groundwork for transformative innovations in agroecological practices, ushering in a greener, more resilient future for global agriculture.

Abstract

Plant Growth Promotion Fungi (PGPF) are fungi that live in the soil near plant roots or live in plants (endophytic fungi), can increase plant growth (biofertilizer), and protect plants from plant-disturbing organisms in the form of pests and plant diseases (biopesticides). Farmers often experience obstacles due to poor plant growth due to less fertile soil and dry soil, and decreased production due to pests and plant diseases. The objectives of this community service are introducing PGPF and its benefits for plants,  exemplifying PGPF multiplication techniques and PGPF addition techniques to plants, introducing sorghum and low-cost farming with high competitiveness. To achieve these objectives, the methods applied are: (1) PGPF socialization, (2) counseling on the benefits of PGPF as a biofertilizer and biopesticide, (3) plot demonstration. The results of the activity are (1) farmers in Kota Baru Village are able to multiply and add PGPF to the soil and plants, (2) farmers are able to apply sorghum cultivation techniques as a food material in order to diversify food and availability of animal feed in every environmental condition of the dry season and rainy season. All parts of the sorghum plant (seeds, leaves, stems) can be utilized, so there is no waste (zero wasted).

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the profile of students' scientific literacy skills in the conservation biology course of the Biology Study Program, FST UNJA. This study is a descriptive study conducted to determine students' initial scientific literacy skills. In this learning process, the researcher used the Project Based Learning model by utilising project assignments as literature studies carried out by students in groups. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The sample used was 30 students taking Conservation Biology courses from a total population of 60 students. The results of the analysis of the assignments that students had carried out obtained data on students' scientific literacy skills for one indicator in the very low category (8,3%), three indicators in the sufficient category (54,15%), four indicators in the good category (78%-81,5%), and one indicator in the outstanding category (86,6%). In conclusion, students' scientific literacy skills are good and excellent in several indicators. However, other indicators need to be improved. The existence of project-based learning by assigning students in groups to create literature study projects is capable of facilitating students to hone their scientific literacy skills with proper guidance from lecturers. If this is done, students will be able to choose and use reference sources that are guaranteed to be valid for writing scientific papers or as learning resources. Abstrak. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui profil kemampuan literasi sains mahasiswa pada mata kuliah biologi konservasi Prodi Biologi FST UNJA. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui kemampuan awal literasi sains mahasiswa. Pada proses pembelajaran ini peneliti menggunakan model Project Based Learning dengan memanfaatkan tugas proyek berupa studi literatur yang dikerjakan oleh mahasiswa secara berkelompok. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampling. Sampel yang digunakan adalah 30 mahasiswa yang  mengambil mata kuliah Biologi Konservasi dari total populasi 60 mahasiswa. Adapun hasil analisis dari tugas yang telah dilakukan oleh mahasiswa didapatkan data kemampuan literasi sains mahasiswa untuk 1 indikator berada pada kategori sangat rendah (8,3%), 3 indikator berada pada kategori sedang (54,15%), 4 indikator berada pada kategori tinggi (78%-81,5%), dan 1 indikator berada pada kategori sangat tinggi (86,6%). Kesimpulannya kemampuan literasi sains mahasiswa sudah tinggi dan sangat tinggi pada beberapa indikator. Namun perlu ditingkatkan pada indikator lainnya. Adanya pembelajaran berbasis proyek dengan menugaskan mahasiswa secara berkelompok dalam membuat proyek literatur studi cukup mampu memfasilitasi mahasiswa untuk mengasah kemampuan literasi sains dengan bimbingan yang tepat oleh dosen. Jika hal ini dibiasakan mahasiswa akan mampu memilih dan menggunakan sumber rujukan yang terjamin validitasnya untuk keperluan penulisan karya ilmiah maupun untuk dijadikan sumber belajar.

Abstract

Waste management has become a central issue due to the growing population and the increasing amount of unmanaged waste. This management should be implemented across all aspects of life, from small to large scales. At the smaller scale, waste management is introduced starting from schools, where values are instilled in students that they will carry into adulthood. The habit of managing waste from an early age is expected to become a positive practice in the future. State Senior High School (SMA N) 3 Muaro Jambi is a well-regarded Senior High School in Jambi Province, holding an A accreditation. Currently, SMA N 3 Muaro Jambi does not have an effective waste management system, particularly for organic waste. Additionally, the school is planning to implement the Adiwiyata program, which includes waste management as one of its key points. This community service activity is carried out in three stages: a survey and analysis of the waste problems, socialization of organic waste management into liquid organic fertilizer as an environmentally friendly solution, and practical training in organic waste management. It is hoped that this activity will provide students with knowledge that can lead to business development, serve as a benchmark for other schools in Jambi Province, and help fulfill the requirements for the Adiwiyata program.

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze physiological responses of soybean varieties Grobogan to different shade levels, including changes in amount of leaf total protein content, photosynthetic pigments content, index stomata and stomata gap width and vegetative growth. The research was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) one factor, that is shading level with three treatments: no shading, 50% shade and 70% shade. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and continued by DMRT at 95% confidence level. The results showed that Soybean varieties Grobogan is able to adapt and survive under 50% and 70% shade. Varieties Grobogan responded to increased shade by increasing leaf total protein content and photosynthetic pigments content and decreasing index stomata and stomatal gap width. Shaded plants showing stunted vegetative growth, seen by decreased of leaf number, leaf area, leaf thickness, stem height, stem diameter, root length and plant weight.
