Abstract

Indonesian peat ecosystem, generally managed for protection and cultivation functions, contributes to providing economic benefits to the local community through agricultural practices. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of local commodity agriculture (coffee, areca, coconut, and pineapple) on peatland from social, ecological, and economic perspectives using descriptive and quantitative approaches in Mendahara-Batanghari, Jambi. Data was collected from interviews of 60 farmers in two villages with three types of farms, including monoculture and polyculture of commodities. The results of this study showed that socially, farmers still have difficulty with access and infrastructures. Coconut, areca, and coffee are popular among the smallholders because of land suitability, low maintenance, and high selling price. From an ecological perspective, intercropping on polyculture farms is able to store more carbon with a high density of biomass than on monoculture farms. Generally, the carbon emissions of local commodity farms are lower than other types of plantations, such as oil palm and rubber plantations. Lastly, from an economic perspective, local commodity farming in the study area is feasible based on analyses of net present value, benefit cost ratio, and internal rate of return. Polyculture farms provide higher benefits compared to monoculture land. The income is considered sufficient for standard living needs, and there is potential to increase the revenue by developing and optimising processing product industries.

Abstract

With the rate of fast urbanization, the devasting effects of air pollution are spreading across the globe. Due to its connection to people’s health, air quality should be given more importance than other environmental measures. Air pollution is considered a cause of many human diseases. Therefore, this study intends to investigate seasonal variation of air quality and “Air Quality Index (AQI)” in Chittagong city due to its volume, large population density, and importance as a commercial capital city of Bangladesh. Air pollution data on PM10, PM2.5, NO2 , NOx, SOx, CO, and O3 levels have been collected from TV station, Khulshi Continuous Air Monitoring Station (CAMS). Component-specific analyzers have been used to continuously measure trace gases where O3 is observed with a UV photometric analyzer. This study detect the highest peak (PM2.5= 93.5 µg/m3, PM10= 210 µg/m3) in January and the lowest concentrations (PM2.5= 14.6 µg/m3 and PM10= 26.9 µg/m3 ) during July and August. The highest average concentration has been recorded as the value of SO2= 12.8 ppb (monsoon season), NO2= 64.9 ppb (pre-monsoon), CO= 1.2 ppm (monsoon) and lowest SO2= 3.2 ppb (winter season), NO2= 24.4 ppb (monsoon), CO= 0.6 ppm (pre-monsoon) respectively. The AQI values (223.6), (109.5), (194.5), and (317.3) indicate that the air quality during the pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon, and winter season is very unhealthy, cautious, unhealthy, and extremely unhealthy, respectively.

Abstract

The study was performed to determine the efficacy of dinotefuran in controlling housefly (Musca domestica) infestation on a commercial broiler farm. The efficacy of the two modes of application of the insecticide was compared to thiamethoxam. The experiment was divided into two groups with five treatments (T) and three replicates per treatment. The first group was scatter application composed of T1: control, T2: dry 20 g dinotefuran, T3: wet 20 g dinotefuran, T4: dry 20 g thiamethoxam, and T5: wet 20 g thiamethoxam. The second group was a paint-on application composed of T1: control, T2: 10 g dinotefuran with 10 g sugar, T3: 20 g dinotefuran, T4: 10 g thiamethoxam with 10 g sugar, and T5: 20 g thiamethoxam. Dead flies were counted after 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes post-application. In the scatter group, the control was significantly different from dinotefuran and thiamethoxam, but no significant differences were observed between dinotefuran and thiamethoxam. Dinotefuran treatments from paint-on were significantly different from the other three treatments. Lastly, wet dinotefuran from the scattering bait group and dinotefuran treatments from paint were not significantly different. Wet and paint-on treatments of dinotefuran were effective for fly control in broiler farms.

Abstract

In recent years Blockchain technology has become increasingly important and accepted (i.e business sector, supply chain, and other aspects of sustainability). The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Brewer spent yeast and determine the possibility of blockchain adoption in Brewer Spent Yeast (BSY) waste management. This study uses primary data and literature studies in the preparation of blockchain-based waste management. The data obtained were analyzed using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to extract the relationship between criteria within the blockchain framework. From the results of this study, it is known in the blockchain management aspect, it was found that the availability of technology and understanding of technology use insights were the most dominant cause criteria (Ri–Ci)>0.00. While the impact criteria with a value (Ri-Ci)<0.00 such as the criteria can be used for many sources of waste, cheaper transactions, and aspects of a culture of transparency in the implementation of waste treatment. The cause criteria will influence the effect criteria in the process of adopting the blockchain model in Brewer Spent Yeast (BSY) waste management.

Abstract

The study was carried out to evaluate the current status of use and management of waste from pesticides on some farming models in the Mekong Delta through interviews with 140 households cultivating triple-rice, Durian Ri6 and E-dor longan. The results of the study showed that 130 types of pesticides and 99 active ingredients were used on three farming models. The study also discovered that five banned active ingredients are still used in the triple-rice practice and four banned substances in the Durian Ri6 cultivation. The proportions of toxic groups (according to WHO’s classification) at levels II, III, IV were 33.3%, 29.3% and 37.4%, respectively. The triple-rice crop model used the most pesticides, but the frequency of spraying was only in the range of 6.48±1.72 to 7.33±1.82 times/crop. Meanwhile, the Durian Ri6 model, although using fewer pesticides, the frequency of spraying was very high (about 61.8±9.1 times/crop), 9 times higher than a rice crop. The cultivation of E-dor longan uses the least amount of pesticides as well as a very low frequency of spraying. The methods of handling pesticidal wastes are mainly burning, burying and these practices are not meeting the requirements for protecting health and the environment. The study provides important information for decision-making to choose a farming model and the accompanying environmental protection solutions to minimize the adverse effects of the use of pesticides.

Abstract

The characteristics of waste composition and community behavior are important data for making an appropriate domestic solid waste management plan. However, these data are lacking or not studied in Bac Lieu, especially in rural areas. Therefore, the study was conducted to determine the domestic waste composition and evaluate the factors related to the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) level of the community in domestic solid waste management in Phuoc Long district, Bac Lieu province, Vietnam. The results of domestic solid waste samples collected at households showed that the waste was composed of organic (73.8%), recyclables (15.7%), hazardous waste (0.7%), and others (9.9%). Plastic bags (42.7%) and papers (30.5%) were predominant in the recyclables. The interview of 150 households indicated that the majority of respondents had an average level of knowledge (46%), and attitude (49.3%). However, 46% of respondents had an inadequate level of practice. In addition, the study observed that respondents have a good level of knowledge and attitude that leads to good practice. The Chi-square test showed that the KAP level of the respondents is influenced by demographic factors including age, education, occupation and income (p<0.05). In which, education level and age were the significant influencing factors. The results indicated that education for improving the community’s knowledge and attitudes in domestic solid management should pay more attention on the population aged over 60 years and those with occupations belonging to agriculture and housework.

Abstract

Understanding communities perceptions and attitudes towards participatory forest management (PFM) is crucial to successful PFM improvement. However, there is a lack of research evidence on the perception of local communities for PFM program intervention. The purpose of the study was to exmine local community perceptions and attitudes towards PFM intervention. In this study, 131 households were surveyed and data were collected through the household survey; key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussion (FGD). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results show that the households perceived that there is no deforestation after PFM intervention. This increased species diversity, forest coverage, productivity of the forest, number of valuable species and address environmental degradation. Respondents that PFM program has opportunities to change a negative attitude to a positive through giving of power to the local community, enables to exclude non-PFM members, and creates a sense of belongingness to use and conservation of forest. The finding demonstrated that households generate their incomes from different sources and the share of forest income is the second. The different actions such as better protection of existing forests, access to alternative livelihood, access to better knowledge were suggested to increase the existing benefits and management of PFM. The finding of the study suggests further improvement of local communities’ perception and attitudes as well as providing alternatives to improve forest conditions and livelihood.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to elucidate some of the basic characteristics of manure and its biochar and to explore its potential as a solid fuel and soil amendment. Cow, pig, chicken, and duck manure were selected and collected in the farmer’s pen. Furthermore, composite sampling was applied to obtain a representative sample of each manure. Each of them was dried in the sun for four to seven days, and each sample was divided into two parts. The first part was not further processed, while the rest were carbonized. Carbonization was carried out within a temperature range of 300 to 400?C and 4 h residence time. C-organic, N-total, available P and K, CEC, volatile matters, fixed carbon, ash content, Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Sulfur (S) content), higher heating value, and the chemical composition of their ash in both original and carbonized manure were identified. In addition, the nutritional content was relatively comparable and the H/C and O/C ratio in biochar were lower than in its original state. Both the original and carbonized manure indicated low calorific value, while the ash content and fouling index were high. The results showed that livestock manure in both forms has more potential as a soil amendment than solid fuel.

Abstract

A study area was at the Musi River, located in the southern part of Sumatera Island, Indonesia. This river flows in the southern area with a majorly tropical rainforest climate. For decades, it has become a substantial port used mainly for the transport of rubber, petroleum, and oil palm, which has the potential to threaten the area. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of these activities by evaluating the water quality status and pollution index in the Musi River. Physicochemical parameters such as pH, salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) were measured along the river. Results of the study revealed the impact of agriculture and fish farming activities in the upstream area has affected the pH values of the water became slightly acidic. In addition, COD values at all stations were found to be high and made they could not be used for drinking water. TSS values were also found to be high at the downstream stations. According to the pollution index status, the study area was classified from low to moderate pollution.
