Abstract

Combination between organochlorine and clean weeding is suggested for nettle caterpillar outbreak in oil palm plantation. Insecticides lead to natural enemies died, clean weeding caused food shortages and lack of refuge areas for its natural enemies. Cordyceps militaris is one of fungus biological controls to Setothosea asigna. This fungus is possible to produce in large quantities on maize. C. militaris is typically sprinkled or sprayed onto palm circle as pupae targeted. Several studies have shown that C. militaris can also infect larval stages of S. asigna in the laboratory. This study aim is to confirm that C. militaris in maize media, at optimal dose 15 g/100 ml (based on previous study) could induce infection on both S. asigna larval and pupal stages. Four days after application (‘daa’), 100% mortality was observed in S. asigna larvae. Dead larvae were characterized by brown coloration, larval excretion, intact but fragile larvae, and mycelial growth. Infected pupae are not visible externally because they are protected by cocoons. After 16 ‘daa’ there were difference between infected and control pupae. Infected pupae were still in the final larval stage, covered in mycelium, and died. Control pupae had developed into adults with wings, head, and body. C. militaris on maize and PDA medium was white or lacked pigment. C. militaris derived from infected larvae and pupae were able to grow and produce greenish conidia on PDA. C. militaris conidia from larvae had already formed in large quantity after 6 days on PDA, while the pupae were only in the early stages of conidia formation. C. militaris derived from maize formed only mycelium without conidia. This study concluded that C. militaris could infect both larval and pupal stages of S. asigna.

Abstract

Palm kernel meal (PKE) is a byproduct of Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) production that contains high levels of fiber and protein, making it potentially useful as feed for Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae. BSF larvae are then processed into liquid organic fertilizer (POC) due to their high protein content. This study used a quantitative method with a descriptive comparative test approach to analyze the effect of two types of feed, namely fermented palm kernel meal (P1) and food waste (P2), on larval weight and the nutrient content of C-organic, N, P, K, and pH of POC after anaerobic decomposition for 40 days. The results showed that fermented palm kernel meal produced a higher larval weight, namely 9.90 kg, compared to food waste of 5.45 kg. However, POC from larvae with food waste feed had a higher nutrient content than POC from fermented palm kernel meal feed.

Abstract

Growing media play an important role in determining the success of seed germination and early plant growth. The utilization of organic waste materials as alternative growing media needs to be evaluated to improve efficiency and sustainability in plant cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different growing media on germination percentage, plant height, and fresh weight of plants. The experiment was conducted using a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four growing media treatments, namely cocopeat, rice husk charcoal, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) waste, and oil palm fiber waste. Each treatment was replicated five times, resulting in 20 experimental units. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% significance level. The results showed that growing media had a highly significant effect on germination percentage, plant height, and fresh weight. Cocopeat produced the highest values for all observed parameters, followed by rice husk charcoal, EFB waste, and oil palm fiber waste. Duncan’s test indicated that all growing media treatments were significantly different from each other. It can be concluded that cocopeat is the most suitable growing media for supporting seed germination and early plant growth.
