Eucalyptus sp. tree has great potential to be developed as raw material for pulp and paper because it has fast-growing properties, good adaptability and high productivity. Monoculture crops with low vegetation diversity have the potential to cause disease epidemics caused by the pathogen Cylindrocladium sp. (leaf spot), Ceratocystis sp. (stem rot), and Ganoderma philippii (root rot). The integr…
Kepungan sialang is a system in the form of one or several sialang trees, which are tall and large trees that are favored by these bees for nesting in groups, which are surrounded by the rest of the natural forest that is deliberately maintained as a protector. So far, the factors that influence the occupancy of the giant honey bee (Apis dorsata) on the sialang tree and their productivity in a …
PT Global Alam Nusantara (GAN) is a peat swamp forest in the Riau Ecosystem Restoration (RER) stretch of the Kampar Peninsula. Peat swamp forest is the one of habitats for mammals, 77 species of mammals have been recorded in RER, but the information of the diversity of mammals in PT GAN is not known yet. Therefore, this study aims to determine the diversity of mammals, distribution and existenc…
Rhizosphere bacteria are bacteria that live ini the root area (rhizosphere) and play an important role in plant growth. In general, bacteria in the plant rhizosphere provide various benefits to plants. One of them is production of growth hormone, Indole Acetic Acid (IAA). This study aims to determine the potential of eight exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria to produce IAA hormone ad identify …
Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a commodity that can grow in the tropics and almost all parts of the coconut plant can be utilized by humans.
