Abstract

This research was conducted in Tarus Village, Kupang regency, in May until June 2013, to find out the amount of phosphorus and cadmium content in the soil of rice, and to compare the Cd with a threshold concentration of Standard National Indonesia 7387:2009, as well as to predict the magnitude of the risk to the health. This research is descriptive experimental design with 12 samples of soil and rice. Levels of soil–available P is analyzed using the methods of Olsen, whereas, the levels of Cd from the soil and rice are analyzed in the laboratory with the method of analysis of heavy metals in soils and plants, set by Hall of geochemical soil, the Ministry of agriculture. The results of the analysis of land-available Pranging from low – high, but it is not the only deciding factor the amount of Cd in soil and rice. Laboratory analysis results towards rice Cd, shows there are six samples that undetectable levels of Cd, six other samples detected and then described the risk once compared with the standard quality raw and analysis of health risks. The results of the analysis of the levels of Cd shows all rice samples were still below standard quality raw i.e. 0,4 mg kg-1. Risk analysis indicates that there are two samples of rice produced from the paddy fields are not safe for consumption for the duration of 30 years. While the four other samples were a risk for the duration of the 60 years.

Abstract

The goal of this research was to understand the diversity of soil mesofauna native to different plant habitats in the area of Kelimutu National Park and to understand how the dominant soil mesofaunal populations vary depending on vegetative diversity. This research was conducted in a number of different vegetation habitat zones according to the intensity of land use in the area of Kelimutu National Park and in the laboratories at the University of Flores in the city of Ende. This research was designed in a linear method and sampled vegetation from areas labelled VR (Vacciniumvaringiaefoliumdan Rhododendron renschiamum), VCa (mixed forest) and VC (coniferous forest). The results of this research show that the area near Kelimutu National Park contains low to medium diversity. Low diversity was observed in areas with vegetation VR with5 types of soil mesofauna (H’:1.153) whereas medium diversity was observed in areas with vegetation VCa, with researchers finding 7 types of soil mesofauna (H’:1.771). Six types of soil mesofauna were found in areas with vegetation type VC (H’:1.727). Vegetative diversity was found to be linked to the increasing dominance of soil mesofauna in the area of Kelimutu National Park. The highest value of vegetative diversity was (H’:1.821), found in area VCa with the dominance of soil mesofauna (E:0,85). For area VR, the vegetative diversity was (H’:1,771) with a dominant soil mesofauna value of (E:0.72) and for vegetation VC the vegetative diversity was (H’:0.861) with dominant soil mesofauna value of (E: 0,28).

Abstract

Salt is a dietary mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride. These two components of salt are an essential nutrient for humans with important functions in regulating the extracellular fluid volume and the active transport of molecules across cell membranes. However, having too much salt in the diet increases the risk of health problems. High sodium intake is positively correlated with the level of blood pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to consume food with reduced salt content. Salt has been used as a food preservative that kills or limits of foodborne pathogens and spoilage organism by decreasing water activity. Salt also has functions in foods by adding flavour and masking bitter tastes, controlling the growth of yeast and strengthening the dough network and gas retention of the dough. Reducing salt content in processed food especially for bread-based products is one of the greatest ongoing challenges facing food manufactures. It also has been difficult to reduce or remove salt or sodium chloride from bread since salt is one of the four essential ingredients in bread. Reducing salt level from 1.2% does not significantly affect dough rheological properties and bread-making quality. However, the omission of salt entirely leads to a significant reduction in the dough, bread quality and its palatability.

Abstract

Tropical rainforest deforestation is a major problem in many tropical regions and can have major impacts on system ecology and long term soil productivity. This paper examines the trend of increased colonization of tropical rainforest regions and the resulting effects on long term natural system productivity in these areas. It also explores the impact of conventional agricultural practices, the majority of which were developed in temperate climates, when employed in a tropical context. International trends in the consumption of imported tropical wood and rainforest products are also suggested as a major culprit for increased tropical deforestation. Reduction in international rainforest product consumption and greater awareness on the part of Western consumers as to the impacts of tropical deforestation are suggested as potential solutions to reduce this problem.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to understand the benefits of ‘kirinyu’ as a resource of organic matter in the growth and production of carrots and determine the optimum quantities required. The study used a random group design method using K0 (without kirinyu), K1 (kirinyu 5 ton/ha), K2 (kirinyu10 ton/ha), K3 K3 (Kirinyu 15 ton/ha), and K4 (Kirinyu 20 ton/ha). The variables measured in this study were; plant height, the total number of leaves, length of tubers, the diameter of tubers and weight of fresh tubers per plant per plot and per ha. The results of this study indicate that the use of ‘kirinyu’ as a source of organic matter has a definite influence in the plant height in the ages of 4 MST, 8 MST, 10 MST, 12 MST, and total leaves in the ages of 6 MST, 8 MST. Also, it influences the length of tubers, the weight of tubers per plant per plot and per ha. It was determined that optimum growth of carrots; that is plant height (32.51 cm) total leaves (5.78 cm) length of tubers (10.71 cm) was attained with the use of 20 ton/ha weight of fresh tubers per plant (48.19 grams), per plot (7,93 kg) and per ha (21089,29 kg).

Abstract

This research was carried out in order to understand the main types of pests and diseases that affect corn, which types are most dominant and to understand the severity of these main diseases in corn. Observation of variables involved the identification of pests and diseases that attacked corn plants, the diversity of these pests and diseases as well as the intensity of the damage caused by these pests and diseases. The results of this research showed that the main type of pest and disease that attacks corn are, among others: seedling flies (Atherigonasp), grasshoppers (Oxyasp), corn stalk drillers (Ostrineafurnacalis) and leaf rust. The most dominant type of pest or disease were grasshoppers (Oxyasp) which attacked plant leaves. The seriousness of an attack by a pest or disease was found to be important in the seedling phase, there are many variations in between species of corn and also developed with the age of the corn. At 12 days after planting, the incidence of insect attack was0.2% and at 33 days and 54 days after planting it was 0.32-0.47%. Whereas for disease, when observed at 33 and 54 days after planting, the average incidence of disease attack was 0.05-0.23%. Also, when observed at 61 days and 75 days, the incidence of attack rose to 0.32-40%.
