Abstract

This study aims to identify and determine the level of Strongyloides sp. infection in buffalo (Bos javanicus javanicus) fecal samples in Ujung Kulon National Park (TNUK). The research method was conducted by examining fecal samples using native, sedimentation, and flotation methods and calculating the number of eggs per gram of feces (egg per gram, EPG) to determine the level of infection. The results showed positive Strongyloides sp. infection, indicated by the discovery of oval-shaped eggs with thin walls measuring approximately 54×41 µm. The EPG calculation yielded a value of 1600, which is categorized as a moderate infection. This level of infection indicates that the parasite's life cycle is active in the host's body and has the potential to cause mild to moderate physiological disturbances. Additionally, environmental conditions can increase the risk of reinfection, especially in wildlife habitats with high humidity levels. These findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring, environmental management, and parasite control measures, particularly in conservation areas such as Ujung Kulon National Park.

Abstract

Eggshell-based liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) is a sustainable nutrient source rich in nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), essential for plant growth. This study investigated the effects of eggshell LOF on the growth of leek plants (Allium fistulosum L.) using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five concentration treatments: 0% (P0, control), 5% (P1), 10% (P2), 15% (P3), and 20% (P4), each replicated three times. The experiment was conducted in Kel. Isola, Kec. Sukasari, Bandung City, Indonesia, during December 2022. Plant height was measured every three days for two weeks as the primary growth parameter. Results demonstrated significant differences (*p* 0.05) among treatments, with the 20% LOF concentration (P4) yielding the highest average plant height (22.7 cm). In contrast, the 5% LOF group (P1) showed no growth, indicating plant mortality. A positive correlation was observed between LOF concentration and plant height, confirming that higher nutrient availability directly enhances leek growth. These findings highlight the efficacy of eggshell LOF, particularly at 20% concentration, as a viable organic fertilizer for improving Allium fistulosum productivity. Further research is recommended to explore optimal concentrations beyond 20% and assess long-term soil health impacts.

Abstract

The sublethal effect of Blatella germanica infected with Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauvaria bassianna, and Spicaria on its offspring has been carried out. It is known that the LC50 value of each fungus is 106. This study aims to determine the extent of the sublethal effect on the duration of ootheca formation, the number of ootheca, and the number of ootheca produced. The ‘Dipping method’ was used with three treatments and five replications. The results showed that the sub-lethal effect influenced the duration of ootheca formation. Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana affected the start of ootheca formation when compared to the control (25.95 days), the length of time needed for ootheca that produced nymphs in Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana exposure compared to the control (6 days) and the number of nymphs caused by Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana produced fewer nymphs than the control (29.25 days).

Abstract

Macrozoobenthos are aquatic organisms that live on the bottom of the water. Currently, the upstream Cikapundung River is indicated to be polluted by garbage, household waste, industrial waste, agricultural waste and livestock manure. This study aims to determine the diversity of macrozoobenthos as a bioindicator of water quality in the upstream Cikapundung river based on physical, chemical and biological parameters. This research was conducted in April 2023. The research used the exploration method. Macrozoobenthos sampling consists of five locations namely; Curug Omas, Curug Lalay, Kidang, Curug Koleang and Curug Dago. The results of the data analysis of the calculation of the Diversity Index, Abundance and Dominance indicate that the upstream Cikapundung river is classified as moderately polluted. This is evidenced by the diversity value obtained, which falls within the range of 1.94 - 2 (2.0). The high abundance index value is observed in location 2, while the dominance index value is 0.50 D ≤ 0.75. A total of nine species were identified in the benthic samples, which were classified into four classes, nine families, and seven genera. The dominating benthos of the five locations is Planaria sp. Based on an analysis of biotic and abiotic components, the upstream Cikapundung river is classified as exhibiting minimal pollution.

Abstract

Plants are one of the most important food resources for human civilization. The Sundanese people of West Java, Indonesia are well known for consuming raw plants as part of their food culture called lalapan. West Java consists of several traditional villages, one of them is Banceuy Traditional Village which is located in Subang Regency. No prior ethnobotanical study of local food plants in Banceuy Traditional Village has been recorded. Therefore, this study aims to document the diversity of local food plants in Banceuy Traditional Village and the indigenous people’s knowledge in local food plant utilization. This study used semi-structured interviews with 32 informants that consisted of 2 key informants and field-guided observation which was accompanied by one of the key informants around the village to identify and collect the food plant specimens. Banceuy indigenous people utilized 160 local food plant species belonging to 55 families. Fabaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Solanaceae, and Zingiberaceae were the dominant food plant families. Herbs and tree respectively were the dominant food plant habits. These plant species were utilized as sources of carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, spices, seeds, and beverages. Fruits were the most utilized plant parts while vegetables were the most food plant categories, because some of the fruits were consumed directly as lalapan or processed through sauté cooking as vegetables. Banceuy indigenous people have a close relationship with plants as they utilize those plant species for daily food consumption.

Abstract

This research aims to assess the efficacy of three distinct types of aquatic plants, namely Nymphaea sp., Hydrocotyle sp., and Spirodela sp., in wastewater bioremediation from the laundry industry. The wastewater from the laundry industry contains a range of chemical substances that have the potential to pollute the surrounding environment. These include detergents, fragrances, and other chemicals that can cause pollution of the aquatic environment. The research method entailed the simultaneous planting of the three types of aquatic plants in controlled containers with the tested laundry wastewater. The temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and dissolved oxygen (DO) of the laundry water effluent were measured before and after passing through the aquatic plant system. The results demonstrated that all three types of aquatic plants exhibited the capacity to reduce the concentration of TDS in laundry wastewater. The study revealed that there were notable differences in the effectiveness of various aquatic plant species in reducing TDS. Of the three plant species examined, Spirodela sp. demonstrated the greatest potential for reducing detergent concentrations, as indicated by a notable decrease in TDS.

Abstract

The water hyacinth plant (Eichhornia crassipes) is often used for the phytoremediation process. This is because water hyacinth is a plant that is easy to find, besides that water hyacinth is able to grow in polluted waters and is able to produce biomass. This study aims to analyze changes in pH, TDS, temperature and DO levels in domestic wastewater at the Sigay waterfall which was treated with Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) plants with the addition of palm fiber and gravel over a treatment period of 3, 6 and 9 days in retention ponds, as well to determine the optimum time for phytoremediation of Eichhornia crassipes in retention ponds. crassipes (Water hyacinth) during the experiment. The experimental reactor consisted of 3 treatments, namely water hyacinth fiber palm+gravel for 3 days (T-H3), 6 days (T-H6) and 9 days (T-H9) with reactor without treatment as the control. Each reactor is filled with 3L of leachate. The reactor is left in the open and exposed to sunlight. Data were processed using the ANOVA test. The results show a value of P= 0.027 for pH, P=0.026 for temperature, P=0.003 for TDS and 0.066 for the DO test with a value of α=0.05, which indicates that if P0.05 there is a significant difference between each treatment.
