Abstract

Indonesia occupies the top position as the country with the highest dengue cases in ASEAN. A variety of prevention dengue can be done which can be used chemicals. Chemical insecticides indeed provide effective results and optimal, but many negative impacts both on the environment and living organisms. The many negative effects of   chemical insecticides led to new research in the vector control safer, simpler, and environmentally sound. Control using biological insecticides (vegetable) is one of them. One of the plants that can be used as larvicides are turmeric (Curcuma domestica). Tumeric contains bioactive compounds such as essential oils, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins potential as an alternative killer mosquito larvae. Researchers create 6 concentration turmeric extract (0g / L; 0.25 g / L, 0.5 g / L; 1g / L; 2g / L; 4g / L) of each concentration included 25 larval Aedes aegypti L. The data obtained were performed Shapiro-Wilk normality test and then test the hypothesis by Kruskal Walis and probit test. Results obtained LC50value is 2.084g/L or 0.208% (w/v). The results showed that tumeric extract (Curcuma domestica) is effective to kill the larvae Aedes aegypti L.

Abstract

Rhizosphere bacteria live in the soil around plant roots. Various rhizosphere bacteria are able to produce the hormone Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) which stimulates plant growth. This study aims to isolate and characterize IAA-producing rhizosphere bacteria in rice plants in the rice fields of Kedungpani urban village, Semarang city. Bacterial enumeration was carried out using the total plate count (TPC) method. The isolates obtained were characterized by observation of colony and cell morphology, gram staining, endospore staining, catalase test, and sugar fermentation test. The ability to produce the IAA hormone was tested using Salkowski's reagent. The enumeration results showed that the total bacteria in the sample was 2.9 x 105 CFU / g. A total of 10 isolates were obtained and were able to produce the IAA hormone with various concentrations. Isolates KP1, KP2, KP3, KP4, KP5, KP6, KP9, KP13, KP14, and KP15 produced IAA with concentrations of 3.389, 5.111, 3.000, 1.667, 1.944, 5.056, 5.444, 4.500, 5.056, and 10.833 ppm, respectively. The results showed that there were 5 isolates with the highest IAA concentrations, namely KP2, KP6, KP9, KP14, and KP15 which had the potential to be used as biostimulant agents for plants.

Abstract

Bryophyte is a non-vascular plant, consisting of three classes: mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. The body forms have a thallus, and some have a leaf-like organ. The class division of the Bryophyte division is base on anatomical and morphological traits, such as meristem tissues, stomata, and vascular tissues. M Bryophyte has no vascular tissue, but it has a capillary that has functions like xylem and commonly refers to as hydroid. Mosses and hornworts have stomata on the sporophyte part, while in the liverworts, stomata are not found. Hornworts have a basal meristem that has an unpredictable cleavage. Meristem on the mosses only divides up the formation of sporangial. In the liverworts, the apical meristem does not see. Members of the hornworts consider the most advanced because the meristematic phase is more prolonged, so that it is closer to the characteristics of Tracheophyta group.
