Abstract

The high consumption of cigarettes, especially in Indonesia, will produce harmful waste for the environment called cigarette stubs.  The waste of cigarette stubs reacts with any kinds of pathogenic fungus such as Fusarium oxysporum, Colletotrichum gloeosporiodes, Rigidoporus lignosus, and Sclerotium rolfsii. The usage of cigarette stubs as an alternative raw material for making organic pesticides can make cigarette stubs considerable as a recycled product that reduces the environment's waste. The results obtained by plants treated with biopesticides effectively resist pest attacks and support plants to naturally develop antibodies. The score of Intensity Attack (IS) from Terminalia cattapa plant applied by the biopesticides for 10 days observation results in the amount of 3.953%, with a total of 34 normal leaves and a total of 12 broken leaves. The other result of the Terminalia cattapa applied with chemical pesticides gives 12.31% of intensity attack and 12.18% of intensity attack without any treatment. This research concluded that tobacco could inhibit the attack pest of the Terminalia cattapa plant.

Abstract

Coral reef ecosystems are among the most productive natural biodiversity resources  in tropical coastal areas, within seagrass beds and mangrove forests. Besides, coral reefs have very high ecological impacts and economic value that are managed well and sustainably. Also, healthy ecosystems will undoubtedly provide more incredible benefits and values, so studies need to be conducted to determine the health of coral reefs. While P2O LIPI is an institution that is the guardian of coral reef health data in Indonesia, there is limited information related to the coastal areas of East Java that has not been widely reported. This study aimed to find out the percentage of living hard corals and the health status of the ecosystem at three reef sites: Banyuwangi, Situbondo, and Probolinggo. Field surveys were carried out in June-July 2019, using the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method. The materials used in this study are Self-Contain Underwater Breath Apparatus-SCUBA diving equipment, roll meters, and an underwater camera. The results showed that the hard coral cover living in Banyuwangi accounted for 28.91%, Situbondo was 31.20%, and Probolinggo (34.77%). Therefore, this study interpreted that the coral reef ecosystem was a moderate category (25% - 49.9%).

Abstract

Lead is a kind of non-essential heavy metals included in the metal causing environmental pollution with persistent properties that might harm the consumers. This study aimed to determine the best method for reducing the lead level on the freshwater snail Filopaludina javanica using three various water treatment models. Soaking water treatment (6h, 12h, 18h, 24h), flowing water treatment (6h, 12h, 18h, 24h), and refreshing water treatment (6h, 12h, 24h). The lead level assay in both samples used Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and the physical and chemical parameters were measured, such as temperature, pH, and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). The lowest value of lead content on freshwater’s soft body snail and water sample respectively were soaking water treatment at 6h (0.64 ± 0.02 mg L-1) and 24h (0.0045 ± 0.0015 mg L-1); flowing water treatment at 24h (0.04 ± 0.007 mg L-1) and 18h (0.0036 ± 0.0009 mg L-1) and; refreshing water treatment at 24h (0.150 ± 0.011) and 12h (0.007 ± 0.001), with control 0.072 ± 0.00 mg L-1 and 0.067 ± 0.00 mg L-1. Therefore, the most effective model to reduce the lead content was flowing water treatment within 24h in the freshwater soft body snail and 18h in the water sample.

Abstract

Organic farming plays an important role in achieving SDGs 2030, especially on point 2, 3, 13 and 15. Nevertheless, agriculture commodity often meets challenges in organic farming due to plant pests, for instance: on cabbage. Black rot disease on cabbage causes serious losses up to 70%. Most of farmers use chemical pesticides which leads to lots of negative impact towards the environment. Thus, its essential to control the environmentally friendly by applying bio control agents of indigenous endophyte bacteria instead. This article was aimed to examine the indigenous endophyte bacteria ability which excellences on organic cabbage as well as generating black rot caused by the bacterial pathogen X. campestris. Narrative reviews along was done through finding out the related material from International Journal articles. The result showed that there were indigenous endophyte bacteria which was able to be bio control agents towards black rot disease on cabbage, namely Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptomyces sp with effectivity level between 37-63% within resistance zone 1.44 up to 2.4 cm. Indigenous endophyte bacteria on organic cabbage had various kinds antagonist agents especially on Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. that able to resist the disease pathogen both in vitro and in vivo.
