Army worm (Spodoptera exigua Hubner.) is the main pest of acacia. Controls that are carried out generally use synthetic insecticides which cause negative impacts such as emergence of cases of resistance, resurgence, environmental pollution, residual effects, secondary pest explosions and reduced biodiversity. So we need an alternative in pest control, such us using light traps and the para…
Riau is a province that has the largest palm oil plantations in Indonesia. The development of plantations, both corporate and smallholder plantations, still applies the monoculture system. The monoculture system for Palm Oil still has negative environmental impacts, one of which is reducing biomass productivity. In an effort to minimize these impacts, it is necessary to develop alternative palm…
Mung bean cultivation in Indonesia has a major problem, namely low productivity so that it cannot meet the increasing demand for green beans for consumption and raw materials for the processed industry. The limited number of new high yielding varieties contributes to the low productivity of mung bean plants. Fertilization through soil is sometimes less effective because some nutrients are lost.…
Sawi (Brassica junceae L.) is a vegetable crop which is often attacked by wet rot caused by Erwinia carotovora and black rot by Xhantomonas campestris. Environmentally friendly disease control is needed to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. One way to treat these diseases is to use the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus fermentum InaCC which can have a positive effect on mustard growth. …
Oil palm plants in Riau Province are generally cultivated with a monoculture system. Monoculture cultivation is economically profitable, but also has a negative impact on the environment, especially on land biophysics (biodiversity, soil, microclimate and water). One of the efforts to reduce the impact of a monoculture system is to apply an agroforestry system, which combines agricultural crops…
Weed control using excessive synthetic herbicides can cause environmental pollution. Therefore, the use of bioherbicides is recommended. Extract of kiambang (Salvinia molesta D. Mitch.) Is a material to be used as a bioherbicide. The aim of this research was to test the effectiveness of the extract as a bioherbicide and to obtain the best concentration in the control of pre-growth and post-grow…
The Oryctes rhinoceros pest is an important pest of oil palm. Pest problems occur because Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) was added for soil fertility create to a breeding site for larvae O. rhinoceros. Generally, will receive the plants more quickly when composted, and pest control is carried out in the compost. Biological control is more recommended because it is environmentally friendly…
The area of oil palm plantations in Indonesia continues to increase, along with that, Palm oil mill also increases. Each Palm oil mill produces liquid waste (LWPOF) in large numbers that can be utilized. The aim of this research was to study the main effect of LWPOF application and the number of biopores and their interactions on micro nutrient content and oil palm growth. The research was cond…
One of the plantation commodities that are currently being intensively developed in Riau Province to be precise in Kedabu Rapat Village, Meranti Islands Regency is Liberika Coffee. People in the production center of Liberika Rangsang Meranti Coffee have been cultivating Liberika Rangsang Meranti Coffee from generation to generation. They grow Liberika Coffee under shade trees, use organic ferti…
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of M. bracteata in controlling peat soil degradation in oil palm plantations and to determine the effect of M. bracteata age on controlling peat soil degradation in oil palm plantations. This research was conducted using a survey method. The research location was determined by using purposive sampling method. The type of location were peatland…
Geronggang (Cratoxylum arborescens) is a type of pioneer plant native to peatlands. Geronggang populations are becoming increasingly difficult to find in peat ecosystems due to the impact of logging, fire, and land conversion. The success of peatland rehabilitation through revegetation is influenced by the selection of plant species. Genetic diversity is an important factor in conservation effo…
This research was conducted to provide information in the estimation of F2 yield from crosses between Siak and Indragiri Hilir mungbeans and to study the genetic progress of F2 production quality. This research ultilized a completely randomized design (CRD) and the Duncan test. This research was conducted in March 2020 and finissed at Juny 2020. There were 50 plant plots for 50 lines. In one cr…
The use of chemical pesticides in controlling rice plant pests has the potential to leave residues on rice plants and also agricultural land. The information on types and levels of pesticide residues that are dominantly used by farmers can be a reference in the wise application of pesticides. The purpose of this study was to identify the use of pesticides and the application of integrated pest …
Brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) is the main pest of rice plants. Controls that are carried out generally use synthetic insecticides which cause negative impacts such as secondary pest explosion, resistance, death of natural enemies, resurgence and environmental pollution. So we need an alternative in pest control, such us using insecticide botanical from the tuba root (Derris ellip…
Oil palm plantations in Riau Province have entered the stage of cultivation with an area of 56 thousand ha. The extent of rejuvenation of oil palms results in an abundance of organic matter and can become a hotbed for pests and pathogens that harm plants. One of the pathogens that attack oil palm plants is Ganoderma boninense. One alternative to control attacks Ganoderma boninense is the use of…
This study aimed to determine the response of 10 mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) lines to watering intervals. The research conducted from July to September 2020 at Pasir Pengaraian University Greenhouse. The research design used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 2 factors and 3 replications. The first factor Rohul I (G1), Gelatik varieties (G2), Siak (G3), Pelalawan (G4), Murai varieti…
Peatlands are land resources that play an important role for human life. This is related to the very large role, function and benefits of peat in the ecosystem. In the last decades, peatlands have experienced frequent fires. This has an impact on soil biota damage.
