Abstract

Silk Sarong Samarinda is a sarong typical samarinda made using imported silk thread from China. Quality mulberry plants are needed to support the cultivation of silkworms (sericulture). Quality mulberry plants are obtained by in vitro propagation techniques. The success of in vitro culture needs to be supported also by the growth medium suitable for acclimatization stage and plantlet growth. As the medium grows peat has several advantages that are light, water-binding power and high air, porous and can create a good environment for the development of plant roots. Acclimatization by using peat media done in glass house. This research uses Completely Randomized Design (RAL) method with 5 (five) kinds of growing media combined with manure, compost and charcoal husk and without fertilization as control. Peat soil media successfully used for the growth of mulberry acclimation. Of the 5 (five) growing media attempted, the best growth of mulberry plants is on peat-growing medium: manure: charcoal husk (1: 1: 1) until 12 weeks after planting (MST) the addition of the number of shoots, the addition of the number of leaves as well as to the growth of plant height where at that height mulberry plants ready to be planted in the field.

Abstract

This study on the Songor Ramsar and UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve in Ghana seeks to ascertain management method to promote sustainable management of wetlands.  The findings clearly indicated that good management practices are employed in the management of the Songor Ramsar Site. The current approaches to management have focused on the harmonious fusion of modern scientific strategies and cultural and traditional methods. In the Songor Ramsar and UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve, traditional authorities have enacted traditional rites such as sacred groves and totems in the Ada East District which are strictly enforced to provide traditional regulatory support for their protection while modern conservation approaches in the Songor Wetland management utilizes all the laws in legal protected areas in Ghana. Management also embark on training programmes for users of the wetland resources in sustainable resource utilization to improve economic livelihood.  Increased public education and sensitization on the economic importance of the Ramsar Site and the negative impact of environmental degradation has been part of the management strategies. The Public education is on environmentally sound management of waste within the Ramsar Site since the underlying causes of environmental degradation in the Songor Ramsar Site are mainly improper waste disposal, poor attitude of residents toward environmental conservation, wildfires and shoreline recession, inadequate public education on the impact of environmental degradation, fishing, and farming activities. The other factors identified include overgrazing, over exploitation of mangroves, predation, poaching and over fishing, and uncontrolled sand and salt winning

Abstract

A pot study was carried out to investigate the effects of rice husk biochar addition on rice growth performance and fertilizer nitrogen recovery. The biochar effect was studied by using 15N labelled fertilizer urea (10 atom% 15N), as isotopic tracer, until maximum tillering stage (75 days after sowing). Rice husk biochar (RHB) was applied at rates of 0, 5, 10 and 20 Mg ha-1 and laid in randomized complete block design with four replications. The result showed that biochar application significantly improved soil chemical properties (pH, total C, total N, and available P) compared to control treatment. Biochar addition increased number of tiller and root dry matter weight up to 4% and 35%, respectively, compared to un-amended pot. Likewise, application of biochar significantly increased N, P and K uptake by 3%, 19% and 33%, respectively, as compared to the nutrient uptake from the control treatment. Biochar treatment had no significant impact on fertilizer nitrogen recovery in aboveground biomass, in the range of 41% and 42%, in comparison to the control. However, nitrogen fertilizer recovery in soil significantly increased by 47% over the control at application rate of 20 Mg ha-1 RHB.  Increased fertilizer N recovery in soil possibly reduced N losses to the environment from volatilization and denitrification processes. Total 15N fertilizer recovery also found increase at highest application of RHB biochar with an increment of 16%. In general, addition of biochar appeared to enhance crop growth performance but its effect on fertilizer N recovery in plant requires further study up to maturity of rice plant.

Abstract

Investment development for oil palm plantation in Indonesia was increasing and it clear away into peat land area. Land clearing activities without considering peat ecological function may have impact on environmental degradation. The objective of this research was to study development potential of oil palm plantation at peat land by using land evaluation approach. The field survey method was observation scale and land suitability assessment was based on FAO standard with adjustment. Assessment results showed that land had peat thickness higher than 3 m covering 28% of total area so that it can be opened for oil palm plantation. The main constraint factors for the clearing of feasible area were soil reaction, flooding condition and nutrients status. These parameters could be potentially improved. However, final assessment of land showed that it was classified as less feasible (S2) due to relatively high investment.  Cultivation can only be conducted with provision of drainage facility. Caution should be taken in designing open channel in order to prevent excessive water drainage. Therefore, hydrologic analysis can be based on 5 years return period only. Computer simulation of DRAINMOD was applied to determine the operational effect of control structures in elevating of water table during dry season. Simulation results showed that during the opening operation of open channel without control structures at dry season, water table was dropped up to 90 cm below soil surface. Water retention effort in tertiary channel at 70 cm level could elevated water up to 30-40 cm below soil surface. The key success for oil palm plantation development at peat land was highly depended on availability of control structure at tertiary channel. Flap water gate type from fibre material was very suitable for field application. Retention system by using soil sack or stoplog water gate could be implemented at initial stage in order to economize the cost.

Abstract

The study aimed to find out whether Pasteurella multocida bacteria isolated from buffalo in HSU (Hulu Sungai Utara) is the cause of SE (Septicema  epizootica) disease in swamp buffaloes using Koch Postulates. Total of 10 Balb-C mice aged 2 weeks were infected with 100 μl culture containing 4 x 108 CFU (1.5 McFarland Scale) P. multocida subcutaneously in the neck , and observed every 4 hours until the animal died. Samples were taken from the spleen, lungs, and heart with different times of death within 15 hours, 35 hours, and 59 hours with sterile swab cotton. Samples were grown on a nutrient broth medium (NB), inoculated on a soy trypticase agar (TSA), and incubated for 24 hours at 37 ° C. Separate colonies were stained with Gram and spore staining. The colonies were tested by catalase, biochemical, indol motility (SIM) sulfite, confectionary, and planted on Mac Conkey Agar media. P. multocida was identified following Carter's method of showing lung, spleen, and positively infected P. multocida samples. It was concluded that P. multocida bacteria isolated from buffalo in HSU are pathogenic and can cause SE disease.
