Abstract

Lecanicillium lecanii is an insect pathogenic fungus that is often used for pest control and has a wide range of hosts. The L. lecanii is capable of infecting several types of host insects including the Order Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Thysanoptera and Coleoptera. The extent of this fungus host range was feared to have a negative effect on predator insects Menochilus sexmaculatus. This study aims were to determined the pathogenicity of the fungus L. lecanii against the imago predatory beetle M. sexmaculatus, to know how the predation ability and the number of eggs fecundity of Imago M. sexmaculatus after application L. lecanii. The research was arranged in Randomized Block Design with 4 replications. The conidia density of L. lecanii used were 106, 107, 108, 109 conidia/ml, 1 ml / l of lufenuron insecticide as positive control and sterile distilled water as negative control. The research showed that the mortality percentage of M. sexmaculatus due to L. lecanii application is low and medium. The L. lecanii was not affected for preying ability on imago M. sexmaculatus but gave effect to the number of eggs fecundity of imago M. sexmaculatus.

Abstract

The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda is an emerging new pest species in several Asian countries including Indonesia. This pest can be a threat to Indonesian agriculture because this pest has been reported to cause many losses in other countries. As a preemptive and ecofriendly control strategy, a research to study the performance of Telenomus remus as potential biocontrol agent of this pest was done in laboratory scale. Research was done by exposing an adult female to 50 eggs of S. frugiperda in a cluster. We also exposed the female parasitoid to another 50 eggs of S. litura in a cluster for comparison since this parasitoid had been reported as S. litura egg parasitoid in Indonesia previously. Results showed that there are no difference in the numbers of parasitized eggs, parasitism rate, survival rates and percent females of T. remus reared from both S. frugiperda and S litura, which implies the effectiveness of T. remus as a candidate for bio control agent for S. frugiperda.

Abstract

Increasingly healthy lifestyles and advances in technology make people tend to prefer consuming fresh-cut fruits. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) contributes to extending shelf life and improving postharvest product quality. This study was aimed to determine the effects of argon-based MAP combined with heat treatment on the quality of the fresh-cut cavendish. There were four treatments examined, consisting of the combination of MAP with 73.70 % argon gas and heat treatment at 40 °C for 5 minutes (P1), heat treatment at 40 °C for five minutes (P2), MAP with 73.70 % argon gas (P3), and without treatment (P4). Each treatment consisted of three replications, and all experimental units were stored in a storage area at a temperature of 10 °C. The variables of fruit hardness, total titratable acidity, reducing sugar content, and total phenolic compounds were observed at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days of storage. The results of the study showed that MAP and heat treatment could maintain freshness and slow down the degradation of fresh-cut cavendish quality. The combination of MAP treatment with 73.70 % argon gas and heat treatment at 40 °C for five minutes can slow down the degradation of fresh-cut cavendish quality and suppress the total titratable acidity formation until the end of the storage period (ten days).

Abstract

The production of sugarcane in 2018 decreased due to the change in the cultivation method from lowland to upland. This research aimed to study the responses of growth and yield of two sugarcane varieties to the application of filter cake compost and inorganic fertilizer in upland sugarcane cultivation. This experiment was arranged in a split-split plot design consisting of three-factors, which were sugarcane varieties, the levels of filter cake compost, and the rates of inorganic fertilizer, assigned to the main plot, sub-plot, and sub-sub plots, respectively. The two sugarcane varieties were PS 881 and PS 862. The three levels of filter cake compost were 0, 5, 10 tons ha-1, and the four rates of inorganic fertilizers (percent of recommended dosage) were 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The results showed that the growth and yield of PS 862 was better than that of PS 881, shown in the plant height, stem diameter, number of stems, and the length of internodes. The use of filter cake compost at a dose of 5 tons ha-1 was more efficient, and it could provide an efficiency of 0.097 tons per kg of cane at a dose of 76.76% inorganic fertilizer. Yet, it cannot reduce the use of inorganic fertilizer in producing sugarcane yield.

Abstract

Rice production can be improved through extensification using sub-optimal lands. One type of land that can be used for extensification of rice production in D.I. Yogyakarta is eucalyptus agroforestry system in Playen, Gunung Kidul. Besides expanding the land use, it can also increase farmers’ income and ecological functions. However, this system has limiting factors such as the limited availability of water, which only relies on rain. Thus, proper water management and fertilization are necessary to fulfill water and nutrient requirements for rice growth. This study aimed to determine the effects of the application of trenches with organic matter and the doses of KCl on the growth and yield of upland rice (Situ Patenggang) in eucalyptus agroforestry systems. The study was conducted at the Menggoran Forest Management Resort, Bleberan, Playen, Gunung Kidul in March-August 2018. The study was arranged in a split-plot design with three blocks as replications. The first factor was the application of trenches with organic matter, while the second factor was KCl fertilizer at. various doses. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the level of 5%. The optimal dose of KCl fertilizer was determined by regression. The results showed that both factors had a positive effect on soil moisture content, growth, physiology, and yields of upland rice. The treatments significantly increased the availability of water in the soil, thereby supporting the growth and yield of upland rice.
