Abstract

This study evaluated three methods of inoculation of Beauveria bassiana endophytes from Chinese kale and then infected into Plutella xylostella L to determine the mortality rate. The endophytic B. bassiana using three different inoculation methods including seeds-soaking, leaf-spraying, and soil-wetting. The Chinese kale seeds from Winsa variety, B.bassiana isolates derived from collection planthopper. The endophytic fungus was identified to be B. bassiana based on the analysis of colony morphology. The results of this study included the degree of colonization of Chinese kale plants and the mortality of P. xylostella. The average B. bassiana colonies in leaves were 13.89%, stems 2.77% and roots 5.55%. The results showed on leaves that the seeds-soaking method obtained higher colonization of B. bassiana rate when compared to leaf-spraying and soil-wetting. The highest percentage of P. xylostella mortality was generated from seeds-soaking (45%), soil-wetting (37.5%), leaf-spraying (35%). The B. bassiana fungus which caused the fastest LT50 with a seeds-soaking (409.48 hours), and then soil-wetting (679.15 hours), leaf-spraying (1090.21 hours). The positive effects of seeds-soaking of endophytic B. bassiana and mortality of Plutella xylostell.

Abstract

Cyprinus carpio is one type of freshwater fish. In Indonesia, carp outbreaks in carp since June 2002 have raised concerns, especially for fish farmers. One of the factors causing the outbreak of this disease is the bacteria Aeromonas salmonicida, which can cause fish to get sick and even die. Immunostimulants with natural ingredients that are environmentally friendly and can be used to increase the immune response of fish, one of which is maggot. The data analysis used in this study was a simple completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments difference in the dose of maggot as an immunostimulant (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and three replications. The independent variable is the difference in the dose of maggot as an immunostimulant. The dependent variables include survival rate, total leucocytes, differential leukocytes, and water quality (pH, temperature, and DO). The FT-IR test results obtained that the best compound content in maggot flour is flavonoid compounds where these compounds can increase immune response. So, it is proven by phytochemical tests with positive maggot flour containing flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids. In total erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, total leukocytes, and differential leukocytes showed the best immune response in treatment C with a dose of 75% maggot.

Abstract

Leaf blight Phytophthora colocasiae is one of the main diseases in taro plants which can reduce production yield significantly. Weather is one of the main factors supporting the epidemic of leaf blight. Weather changes will affect the development of pathogens and affect the development of disease in the field. This research aimed to find out the effect of weather elements (air temperature, humidity, sunlight intensity, rainfall, number of rainy days) on the intensity of the taro leaf blight attack. The results showed that weather elements had a significant correlation with the intensity of taro leaf blight disease. Air temperature and sunlight intensity showed negative correlations while air humidity, rainfall and the number of rainy days were positively correlated with the disease intensity. The results of this path analysis showed that air humidity had the most significant effect of the weather elements on the intensity of taro leaf blight both directly and indirectly.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera is a popular plant for combating malnutrition that grows well and is commonly consumed by Indonesian as a vegetable, but local varieties' nutrient composition never was studied before. Methods: Proximate, amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, and total phenolic composition of red and white cultivars of Moringa oleifera leaves from Probolinggo were determined on a dry weight basis based on AOAC methods. Results: Crude protein and fat were higher in white cultivar (35.36%, 6.25%). Total Amino Acid in both cultivars (83.06 g/100g for red and 82.86g/100g for white) were higher than in previous studies. Total Essential Amino Acid (TEAA) percentage of both of the cultivars was 46-49% and met the ideal protein needs of children (26%) and adults (11%). Iron, Zinc, Copper, Calcium, and Manganese was higher in white cultivar (36.21±0.08 mg/kg, 16.32±0.02%, 6.76±0.08mg/kg, 1.56±0.00 mg/kg, 7.11±0.00 mg/kg), while Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Phosphorus was higher in red cultivar (0.61±0.00%, 0.89±0.00%, 0.65±0.00%, 0.99±0.00). The content of vitamin C and total phenols was higher in the red cultivar (4162.8mg/kg and 239.8mg/kg). Conclusions: The red cultivar were best in 10/22 parameters (45%), white cultivar was best in 14/22 (55%). Those characteristics can contribute significantly to the nutrient requirements for protein and energy malnutrition treatment.

Abstract

NGAL expression in acute kidney failure is well known. It is approved that NGAL expression occurs earlier than the level of BUN and creatinine in acute kidney failure. NGAL is not only expressed in the blood but also in the urine, where urine collection has many advantages over blood collection. This study aims to observed the expression of NGAL in predialysis patients and to determine the correlation between NGAL serum and NGAL urine of patients. The sample was taken from healthy persons as control and predialysis patients. The examination of BUN, creatinine, and urinalysis were done to approve the diagnose in predialysis patients. While NGAL in serum and urine were analyzed using the Enzyme-Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay (ELISA). The results showed that the concentration of NGAL in serum was higher in the predialysis patients compared to the healthy subjects (p<0.05). There was a strong positive correlation between the NGAL in the serum and the NGAL in the urine (r= 0.98 and p<0.000). It is concluded that the non-invasive examination of NGAL in urine can be choose rather than using serum NGAL. However, it must be noted that NGAL could be used for chronic renal failure in predialysis patients as long as other biomarkers have been proven.

Abstract

Genetic relations estimation can be used for germplasm management activities, identifying cultivars, selecting parents for crossing, and reducing the number of individual samplings in a wide range of genetic diversity. The research's fundamental purpose is to analyze kinship relationships and study the genetic diversity between the snake fruit Sidempuan plant from South Tapanuli with snake fruit Riring plants from Ambon Island. Characterization research was conducted in Padang Sidempuan, South Tapanuli, and Riring Village, Ambon Island, using Radford characterization guidelines. The morphological characterization results showed that the Sidempuan and Riring bark's ecotypes were divided into 3 main clusters and had a kinship relationship with the value of genetic similarity of 85% -100%. Even though it has similarities, there were several distinguishing characters, namely the color of the upper surface of the leaf, the folding of the edges of the leaf blade, the taste of the flesh of the fruit, the height of the plant, and the category of snake fruit flowers. In a nutshell, although they looked similar, the two ecotypes were not identical.

Abstract

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are important pests of horticultural crops. This study investigates the abundance and species richness of Bogor and Depok District as a center area horticulture commodity based on Cue Lure Trap. Each Cue Lure Trap was observed to record the abundance and species richness of fruit flies at seven days intervals from June until August 2021 in Bogor District (Babakan, Mekarsari and Parigi Mekar) and Depok District (Bedahan and Pancoran Mas), West Java, Indonesia. A total of 1,025 individuals were collected and consist of nine species of fruit fly i.e., Bactrocera albistrigata, B. carambolae, B. neocognata, B. verbascifoliae, Dacus conopsoides, D. longicornis, Zeugodacus calumniata, Z. caudatus, and Z. cucurbitae. The number of individuals of fruit flies was highest in the Bedahan, Depok District (F = 5.454, P = 0.002). Zeugodacus cucurbitae was the most abundant species (792 individuals), representing 77.27% of the specimens collected during the sampling period. The highest Shannon–Wiener diversity index of all fruit flies captured in this study was in Bedahan, Depok (1.11) and the lowest in Parigi Mekar, Bogor (0.23). A Bray–Curtis analysis showed that the species compositions of fruit flies on Bedahan and Parigi Mekar had a similarity of 70.1%.

Abstract

A stationary lift net requires an effective fishing light attractor. The intensity and distribution of light are important factors to increase the effectiveness of fishing light attractors. This study aimed to probe the distribution of light intensity and its effect on the effectiveness of fishing light attractors. This research employed a descriptive-comparative method by comparing the effectiveness of LED lights with kerosene lights. The results showed that the concentration of fish school in LED lights was at a depth of 4–10 m with a light intensity of 1x10-8– 10x10-8W/cm2, while the kerosene lights was deeper than LED lights at a depth of 8–12 meters with a light intensity of 1x10-8– 10x10-8W/cm2. The distribution of fish schools from LED lights tends to be concentrated and form larger schools than kerosene lights. The optimum light intensity of LED and kerosene lights was almost the same, in the range of 1x10-8– 10x10-8W/cm2, with concentrations of fish schools reaching 65% and 64%, respectively. The total catch of LED lights fish during eight fishing trips was 168.5 kg or an average of 21.06±2.32 kg/trip, while the total catch of kerosene lights was 139.6 or an average of 17.5±1.98 kg/trip.
