Abstract

The excessive use of chemical pesticides has a negative impact on the environment and health, so a more environmentally friendly pest control alternative is needed. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the combination of gamal leaf extract (Gliricidia sepium) and bintaro fruit (Cerbera manghas) as a vegetable insecticide against pests in eggplant (Solanum melongena). The research method used pure experiments with a Complete Random Design (RAL) of five concentration treatments, namely 0% (control), 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70%. The observation data was analyzed using the ANOVA test. The results showed that the combination of gamal leaf extract and bintaro fruit had a significant effect in suppressing pest populations in eggplant plants, with a Fcal value of 11.750 and a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). The 70% concentration is the most effective treatment in reducing the intensity of pest attacks compared to other treatments and controls. This success is supported by the content of bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, and cerberins that act as contact poisons and stomach toxins in the target insects. These findings suggest that the combination of the two extracts could be a safe, economical, and sustainable alternative to plant insecticides to support the cultivation of horticultural crops without relying on synthetic chemical pesticides.

Abstract

PT. Incasi Raya Pangian is a company engaged in oil palm plantations with a land area of 6,890 hectares, located in Nagari Sinamar, Asam Jujuhan District, Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra Province. One of the main problems in oil palm cultivation is the presence of weeds that can reduce productivity by up to 20% through competition in the absorption of water, light, and nutrients. This research aims to identify the types of weeds that grow in oil palm plantations and compile them in the form of popular scientific books as an educational medium for the community and educators. The research was carried out in two stages. The first stage was carried out to obtain research weed data using the 10-meter transect method with five plots measuring 1 m x 1 m which were arranged alternately in the plantation area of PT. Incasi Raya Pangian, Nagari Sinamar, Dharmasraya Regency. The second stage is the preparation of popular scientific books, where weed samples are collected, preserved, and identified using botanical literature at the Botanical Laboratory of the University of PGRI West Sumatra. The results showed that there were 33 species of weeds from 27 families, consisting of 28 species of the Spermatophyta Division and 5 species of the Pteridophyta Division. Some common species include Ageratum conyzoides, Clidemia hirta, and Cyperus rotundus. The popular scientific books produced have the potential to be a source of practical information for the community, as well as support sustainable weed management in oil palm plantations.

Abstract

The low level of students' understanding of Biology material, especially on the topic of the body's defense system, is often caused by limitations in the variety of learning media used. This study aims to analyze the effect of the use of flipbook-based learning media on student learning outcomes on body defense system materials, in order to support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at SMA Negeri 2 Tenggarong. This study uses a quasi-experimental approach with purposive sampling techniques, involving 35 students divided into experimental and control groups. The research instrument consists of learning outcome tests and questionnaires, which are used to measure students' cognitive achievement. Data analysis was carried out through hypothesis tests using independent sample t-test and N-gain calculation. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups, with a significance value of the t-test of 0.00 (< 0.05), and an N-gain value of 0.73 which was categorized as a fairly effective improvement. Flipbook media has been proven to have a positive influence on student learning outcomes in the experimental group. The increase was influenced by internal and external factors, including the quality of flipbook content, the support of learning facilities, and students' motivation and interest in learning. Thus, flipbook learning media can be considered an effective alternative in increasing students' understanding of the body defense system material, as well as contributing to improving the quality of education in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a horticultural commodity with high economic value that is widely consumed by the Indonesian people, but is susceptible to various types of pests, especially in the generative phase. This study aims to identify the type and dominance of insect pests that attack cayenne pepper plants in the generative phase in the farmland of Thousand Pinang Waterfall, North Sempaja Village, Samarinda. The research methods used include direct observation and insect collection using several types of traps (insect nets, light traps, and pitfall traps). Identification is carried out down to the family level with the help of a keybook of determination and morphological character of insects. The results of the study showed the existence of several insect pest families such as Tephritidae (fruit flies), Thripidae (thrips), Aphididae (aphids), and Bemisiidae (whiteflies) that were dominant during the generative phase of the plant. So it can be concluded that cayenne pepper plants in the generative phase in the farmland of the Thousand Pinang Waterfall, Samarinda, are vulnerable to being attacked by various types of insect pests. This is important to support a more precise and effective pest control strategy in the critical phase of the growth of cayenne pepper plants.

Abstract

Pyometra is a progressive and life-threatening reproductive system disease in female cats, especially those that are not sterilized. This disease is characterized by the accumulation of pus in the uterus due to a bacterial infection triggered by the influence of the hormone progesterone in the diestrus. This study aims to determine the prevalence and characteristics of pyometra cases in cats in Mataram City and identify risk factors. The research was conducted retrospectively by tracing medical record data from three veterinary clinics in Mataram City (ZZ Pet Care Clinic, Medina Vet Clinic, and drh. Rama & Partners Clinic) during the period June 2024 to May 2025. A total of 339 female cats were examined, and 42 cases of pyometra were found with a prevalence of 12.39%. The most cases were found in the age group of 1.5-2 years (52.38%) and domestic race (57.14%). All cats with the disease have not been sterilized with most having no mating history. These results show that active reproductive age, sterilization status, and local race are the main risk factors for pyometra in Mataram City. Therefore, preventive measures such as ovarihysterectomy and education to animal owners about the importance of reproductive management are needed to significantly reduce the incidence of pyometra.
