Abstract

The research is aimed to confirm the potency of several botanical pesticides to be used as natural biological control and to know the most infective stadium of T. kanzawai was done at Pest and Disease Laboratory of Indonesian Tropical Fruits Research Institute from May to August 2009.  A factorial completely randomized design was used in this research.  Two factors were observed; first, four kinds of botanical pesticides consist of four treatment levels i.e. extracts of neem, soursop, Siam weed leaves and sterilized water as control.The second was the stadia of T. kanzawai that consist of three levels i.e. larva, nymph and adult.  The result showed that Siam weed and soursop leaves extracts caused anti-feedent behavior and decreased mobility at five days after treatment.  In addition, exoskeleton of treated T. kanzawai darkened from white, yellowish and bright brown.  Extracts of Sourshop and Siam weed leaves caused very high mortality (96.67%) of T. kanzawae compared to neem (79.17%).  However, there was no significant difference in mortality rates among the four active stadia of T. kanzawai with average mortality range from 65.63% to 79.38%.

Abstract

The research was carried out in Oil Palm Plantation in Ngabang, Landak Distric, West Kalimantan in May 2008. Composite soil samples were taken from the soils, in which the oil palms indicated the nutrient disorders. The aims of the research were to study the soil fertility and nutrient management of Spodosols for oil palm crops. The results indicated that spodic horizons in the oil palm plantation varied between 30 and 70 cm. Besides spodic horizons, the albic horizon, the horizon that can't be penetrated by the crops root, was also found. The texture is sandy with the sand content about 69-98 %. The soil has acidic properties, C organic varied from low to high, low phosphate, potassium, magnesium and Cation Exchange Capacity. In contrast, in the spodic horizon, the content of organic carbon, total nitrogen and CEC were higher, as well exchangeable Aluminum. There was close relationship between soil organic carbon and nitrogen and CEC in the soil. It is advice not to use spodosols for food crop and estate crops. The application of slow release fertilizers combined with organic fertilizers is highly input when oil palm planted on the Spodosol.Keywords: Spodosols, soil characteristic, oil palm

Abstract

Field experiment was conducted in 2005 and 2006 to study response of extra-early maize variety (95TZEE-Y1) to rates of NPK (0, 40:20:20, 80:40:40 and 120:60:60 kg N:P2O5:K2O ha-1) and residual FYM (0, 5, 10 and 15 t ha-1 applied to chilli pepper the previous season) in the semi-arid zone of Nigeria.  Randomized complete block design with three replicates was used.  Higher values for soil physical and chemical properties were obtained in plots supplied with manure the previous season with soil from 2006 experiment more fertile than for the first year, hence produced 21% more grain yield. All the applied NPK rates in 2005 and except 40:20:20 ha1 in 2006 had resulted in early maize crop as compared to control.  Husked and de-husked cob and 100-grain weights and grain yield/ha were higher at 120:60:60 kg NPK ha-1.  Maize grown in plot supplied with 15 t FYM ha1 the previous year matured earlier.  Cobs and 100-grain weights and grain yield were highest in plot supplied with 10 t FYM ha1.  The 10t FYM ha-1 had 69% and 68% more grain yield than the control in 2005 and 2006, respectively.  Highest maize yield was obtained at 120:60:60 kg NPK ha-1 or 10t FYM ha-1.  All the parameters measured significantly and positively related to each other when the two years data were combined.

Abstract

This study is aimed to test the hypothesis that the soil quality of sugarcane plantations closely linked to the particulate organic matter (POM) and earthworm’s populations. The research was conducted at five sites in Malang, East Java. The sites were selected based on differences in average annual rainfall and two types of soil management : with and without organic input. Soil samples taken from a depth of 0-20 cm were analyzed total organic C (TOC), total N, POM-C, and POM-N and earthworm’s population density and biomass. The TOC were corrected by the clay  content using pedotransfer equations so obtained TOCref. The interaction between differences in annual rainfall and two types of the treatments significantly (p

Abstract

Guava has several different accessions. Guava diversity needs to be studied and evaluated in order to determine the next steps in the guava breeding. The objective of this research was to characterize and cluster of some guava germplasm collections. The study was conducted at Aripan and Subang experimental farm, Indonesian Tropical Fruit Research Institute from January 2012 to December 2012. Five fruits of each accession were randomly selected sampled and then characterized using UPOV guidelines. Obtained data were analyzed by NTSYS ver.2.1. The Similarity level of 19 accessions ranged from 70 – 90% or the genetic distance was between 0-20%. Dendogram obtained could be clustered into two different groups, namely group I (ARP9406, ARP9407, ARP8653, ARP8742, ARP10.2, JBT001, JBT002, ARP8740, JBT003 and JBT004), group II (ARP10.7, ARP10.6, ARP10.1, ARP10.12, ARP10.9, ARP10.11, ARP8744, ARP8741 and ARP8743). The result of this research can be used for guava breeding. Species diversity and genetic resources are very important to get new varieties. This study would be highly valuable in the future. Keywords :  Guava  Germplasm, Characterization, Clustering

Abstract

Beetle activity deep inside wood was studied in field (Mt. Yoshida, Kyoto) and laboratory conditions by monitoring the type and amount of frass ejected from beetle galleries of Platypus quercivorus. Twenty-one galleries were selected from five infested Quercus serrata trees for field studies. In the laboratory, frass production was monitored for three galleries using a computer-aided electrical balance (A&D Co. Ltd.). Long-term patterns of frass production from field observation revealed that there are three distinguishable stages; a fibrous frass stage, an intermediate stage, and a powdery frass stage. The duration of the fibrous frass production was clearly different between galleries, ranging from five to twenty one days. The intermediate stage was also different from gallery to gallery, ranging from two to twenty days. Accordingly, the starting time of the third stage, powdery frass production, ranged from the 19th to the 27th day. Under laboratory conditions, the long-term patterns of frass production revealed that in galleries of logs no. 1 and 2 the fibrous frass period was stopped on the 23rd and 22nd day, respectively. Field monitoring revealed there was a negative relationship between the length of fibrous frass stage and the length of the intermediate stage.   Keywords:  fibrous frass stage,  intermediate stage, Platypus quercivorus, powdery frass stage

Abstract

Cotesia vestalis is one of the parasitoids of Plutella xylostella,. They do self-superparasitism to predicted as a behavior to increase the proportion of their female offspring or as a behavior resulting from their inability to recognize previously parasitized hosts. Observations were conducted to study the behavior of experienced and naive Cotesia vestalis. The age of C. vestalis females for observation was between one to three days after emerging for both experienced and naive, but experienced C. vestalis were trained to lay eggs before real observation. The observation was done in a laboratory and included five behaviors, namely number of ovipositions and host encounters, period of grooming, walking and resting. There was no significant difference in the proportion experienced and naive C. vestalis females that superparasitized. The number of ovipositions and host encounters, periods of walking, grooming and resting were also not significantly different between experienced and naive C. vestalis. For further research, it is recommended to observe behavior of C. vestalis that differ in age and after longer periods of experience training. Additional behavior such as direction preferences (leaf or patches), host preference (host health and color) can additionally be important variables to study in C.vestalis behavior. Keywords: Superparasitism, C. vestalis, naive, experienced, behavior
