Abstract

Former gold mining land, especially those abandoned without reclamation, experiences serious physical, chemical, and biological degradation, and is potentially contaminated with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of organic farming-based bioreclamation and good soil management, using dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and chicken manure in improving the condition of former gold mining land. The parameters analyzed include physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil, as well as mercury levels in the soil and plants. The results showed that the soil quality index increased from 0.32 (low) to 0.62 (good). The organic C content increased from 0.91% to 2.16%, soil pH increased from 3.53 to 5.03, and the availability of phosphorus and potassium also increased. The population of methyl mercury-reducing bacteria increased 22.4 - 58.2 times, indicating improved microbial adaptation to the environment. Mercury content in plant tissue decreased drastically from 11.60 mg/kg to 0.11 mg/kg or a decrease of 99.05%, although still slightly exceeding the threshold. The conclusion is that reclamation with an organic approach and effective soil management not only improves soil fertility and quality, but also reduces the risk of heavy metal poisoning.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of feeding different brands of animal feed, namely Fengli and Kaiohji, on the survival of vanami shrimp seeds during the ponding process. The methods used included observation of water quality (pH, salinity, temperature) and calculation of shrimp seed survival in ponds with a size of 10 m x 6 m and a stocking density of 500,000 fish/field. Feeding was done routinely at the rate of 500 grams per day for 8 days with different treatment patterns in each pond. The results showed that feeding with Fengli brand gave a higher survival rate of shrimp seeds than Kaiohji brand. During eight days of nursery, the water pH naturally decreased from 7.5–7.6 to 7.1–7.2 due to the accumulation of metabolite residues, feed, and microorganism activity. Despite the decrease, the pH remained within the optimal limits (7.0–8.5) for whiteleg shrimp seeds. The water temperature was stable at 29–30°C, supporting the growth and metabolism of larvae. The highest survival rate was obtained in treatment A1 (Fengli) at 70%, while the highest from Kaiohji was B3 with 61% survival. This study provides recommendations for the selection of appropriate feed to improve the survival of vanami shrimp seeds in the ponding process.

Abstract

Long bean (Vigna sinensis) is a plant from the Leguminosae family, which has an important role in the Indonesian economy because it is widely consumed as food. The purpose of this research is to utilize mutation technology in supporting plant breeding to produce superior long bean varieties. The research method carried out was a non-factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK), namely soaking the seeds of long bean plants with colchicine to see the effect of colchicine treatment on chromosomal mutations in long bean plants. The results showed significant differences between colchicine concentrations of 0.02% and 0.03%. At a concentration of 0.02%, the cell nucleus appeared solid red and in the center of the cell, but the number and shape of chromosomes were not clearly visible. This concentration is not optimal for inducing polyploidy. Meanwhile, at a concentration of 0.03%, the chromosomes were more clearly visible than the previous concentration.

This study aims to observe the appearance, length, diameter, yield and texture of postharvest white radish tubers due to fertilizer treatment in drip irrigation system. The study used a 2-factor Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD). The first factor was NPK festiliser with concentrations of 0 kg/ha (N0), 400 kg/ha (N1), and 700 kg/ha (N2). The second factor was cow manure fertilizer at 0 tonnes/ha (P0), 15 tonnes/ha (P1) and 30 tonnes/ha (P3). Data were analyzed using ANOVA test, and DMRT 0,5% follow-up test. Parameters observed besides appearance were length, diameter, yield and texture of white radish tubers. The results showed that the appearance of white radish tubers tended to be influenced by the growing environment. NPK fertilizer had a significant effect on the length and very significant effect on the diameter of white radish tubers. Cow manure fertilizer had a significant effect on the diameter of white radish tubers. The interaction of the two factors had no significant effect on all parameters observed.

Abstract

The Determination both of IC50 of Suji (Pleomele angustifolia) and its phytochemical subtances content which extracted by a different solvent has been conducted. The aim of this research is to determine kind of solvent which achieve better result. The method used is laboratory experiments for phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity assay. This research consists of 2 (two) stages. First stage aims to obtain extract of suji by using certain solvent, and the second stage is carried out to examine  secondary metabolite compounds of the extract using phytochemical screening and then to determine the antioxidant activity of extract using the DPPH method. This research used  2 kinds of solvent, ethanol plus ethyl acetate in the first sample, and the second one by ethanol only. Sample which extracted by ethanol plus ethyl acetate positively contains terpenoids, whereas flavonoid and  alkaloids are detected in a significant number. The DPPH test results obtained the equation y = 0.3492x + 12,059, indicating that the antioxidant activity of suji which extracted by ethanol plus ethyl acetate is classified as moderate as the IC50 value of the extract of suji is108,65 ppm. The other sample which extracted just by ethanol also contains terpenoid, flavonoid, and alkaloid, but in a greater number. In the second sample also detected steroid compound which undetectable in the first sample. DPPH score in the second sample which extracted  by ethanol. is y= 06352x + 18, 786. By using this equation we found 49.14 ppm as IC50 score. This score is classified as strong activity. This result shows that antioxidant activity of the second extract is stronger than the first one. The result also meaning that ethanol is more effective in extracting phytochemical compounds of suji than ethanol plus ethyl acetate.
