Abstract

The development and replanting of smallholder oil palm is rapid and massive; its success from the beginning is determined, among others, by sufficient quantities of seeds with good quality. Nutrient management is the highest priority in nurseries, and along with strengthening the application of sustainability principles in the palm oil industry, alternative sources of nutrients other than inorganic fertilizers are needed. This study aimed to determine the right concentration of Azolla liquid organic fertilizer to increase the growth of oil palm seedlings in pre-nursery. The study was a single factor arranged in a completely randomized design. The studied treatment of POC Azolla concentrations of 100, 85, 75, 65, 55, 45, 35, 25, 15%, plus compost treatment of Azolla solids, NPKMg (15-15-6-4) and urea with 8 repetitions. Required seedlings (9+3) x 8 = 96 polybags. The results showed that applying Azolla POC concentration of 15-35% and solid Azolla compost provided the growth of oil palm seedlings in the pre-nursery, which tended to be better than inorganic fertilizers. POC in this concentration range also results in a better seedling root system, thus potentially increasing the adaptability of oil palm seedlings after being transplanted on permanent land

Abstract

Suji leaf (Pleomele angustifolia N.E. Brown) has long been used as an ingredient for traditional medicines. This study seeks to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of suji leaf extract in terms of its ability to reduce oedema in the hind paws of rats. Six groups were treated: negative control, positive control given diclofenac sodium as anti-inflammatory medication, two groups of suji leaf extract powder (SEP) with doses of 300 and 800 mg/kg, acetone extract of suji leaf (AES), and a group of acetone extract of SEP (EA-SEP) at a dose of 500 mg/kg with oral administration. Injections of 1% carrageenan suspension into the right hind paw of rats induced inflammation. The results demonstrated that SEP administered at a dose of 800 mg/kg has an inflammatory capacity (80.56%), AES (56.94%), and AE-SEP (75.7%). Chlorophyll, total phenol, and antioxidant capacity in SEP (9.0809 mg /g sample; 3.7354 mg GAE/g sample; 3.04 mg AAE/g sample), AES (4.6471 mg /g sample; 0.9994 mg GAE/g sample; 3.26 mg AAE/g sample), and AE-SEP (6.4912 mg /g sample; 2.1703 mg GAE/g sample; 2.55 mg AAE/g sample). According to qualitative test results, Suji extract contains bioactive compounds of the flavonoid group, saponins, steroids, and triterpenoids. It is believed that phenolic compounds function as anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract

The dynamism of farmer groups is influenced by internal factors, namely the farmer group itself, and external factors, namely the role of the Agriculture Extension Worker (AEW). This research was carried out in West Lombok Regency with the criteria of selecting 2 sub-districts in West Lombok Regency which had a larger dry land area compared to other sub-districts, namely Sekotong District and Lembar District; from each sub-district 3, villages were selected with the criteria of having the largest number of farmers, determining selected farmer groups based on criteria. Farmer groups have been registered in the Decree of the Head of the West Lombok Regency Agricultural Service and have been recorded in the agricultural extension system (simluhtan). This research aimed to analyze the role of AEW, the dynamics of farmer groups, and the influence of the role of Agriculture Extension Worker (AEW) on the dynamics of farmer groups in dryland farming areas in West Lombok Regency. The analytical method used was descriptive analysis with a Likert scale by giving a score of 1-5 for each criterion for each indicator. The research results showed that the respondents' assessment of the role of field agricultural instructors as facilitators, educators, motivators, and organizers was in a good category. Farming group dynamics seen from the aspects of group goals, group structure, task functions, group coaching and development, group cohesiveness, group atmosphere, and group effectiveness was in the quite good category, and the relationship/correlation between the role of AEW and the dynamics of farmer groups was very strong.
