Judul: Peningkatan Efisiensi Pemupukan, Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Jagung (Zea mays L) dengan Menggunakan Vitazyme
Abstrak: Jagung (Zea mays L) merupakan komoditi pangan penting di Indonesia. Peningkatan produksi jagung dilakukan dengan peningkatan produktivitas maupun perluasan areal tanam. Produktivitas jagung di Indonesia tahun 2011 masih terbilang rendah, yaitu 4.56 ton/ha dengan angka produksi menurun sebesar 3.81% dari tahun 2010 (BPS, 2012). Penurunan produksi yang terjadi menyebabkan jagung harus diimpor sebesar 3.14 juta ton untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan dalam negri (BPS, 2011b). Salah satu teknologi yang dapat meningkatkan produksi dan produktivitas jagung namun tetap ramah lingkungan adalah menggunakan senyawa yang dapat meningkatkan efisiensi pengambilan hara dan merangsang perkembangan akar. Vitazyme mengandung beberapa aktifator biologis dan stimulus pertumbuhan seperti vitamin B, brassinosteroids, triacontanol, glycosides, dan porphyrins yang akan membantu tanaman untuk tumbuh dan menyerap hara lebih optimal.

Judul: Aplikasi Bahan Humat dengan Carrier Zeolit untuk Meningkatkan Produksi Tanaman Jagung (Zea mays) pada Latosol Bogor.
Abstrak: Indonesia is one of wet-tropical countries having high temperature and rainfall so that leaching in soil is very intensive. This condition makes nutritions in the soil decrease significantly and declining crop production. Many efforts have been done for increasing food crop production without damaging soil characteristics and causing environmental pollution such as application of chemical fertilizer with accurate dossage accompanied by addition of organic fertilizer. However, soil need organic fertilizer in large amount for improving soil characteristics and increase food crop production. Humic substance which is extracted from organic matter can substitute organic fertilizer. Generally, humic substance is applied in liquid form with a small amount, therefore it need a carrier to make the application easy and the humic substance is not easily leached. Zeolite that has porous structure is material potential to be used as carrier of humic substance. Application of humic substance with zeolite as carrier is expected to increase production of food crop such as corn. This experiment consists of field experiment that was conducted in agricultural land at Sindangbarang District, Bogor City, green house experiment that was conducted in University Farm IPB, and soil and plant analysis in chemist and soil fertility, Laboratory of the Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, Bogor Agricultural University. Field experiment is arranged in a randomized block design 2 factorial with 2 replications. Treatment is consist of 1 control, 3 humic substance treatment (A5, A10, and A15), 2 zeolite treatment (Z10, and Z20), and 6 combination humic substance and zeolite treatment (A5Z10, A10Z10, A15Z10, A5Z20, A10Z20, and A15Z20). The results showed that application of humic substance with zeolite as carrier gave a better effect for increasing corn production than application of humic substance or zeolite itself. Humic substance with zeolite as carrier can increase P-available and CEC of soil. Moreover, humic substance with zeolite as carrier increased nitrogen level in corn leaf. The growth of corn increased with the increase of root weight and plant height. The optimum and profitable dosage of humic substance with zeolite as carrier was 10 liters humic substance/ha with 20 kg zeolite as carrier/liter humic substance because it showed the biggest increase corn production or 19% increase than plants without application of humic substance with zeolite as carrier and gave profit up to Rp 1.212.000,00/ha per planting season. This dosage can be recommend by farmer.

Judul: Coexistence of Bornean Langur (Prebytis chrysomelas ssp. cruciger Thomas 1892) and Humans in Danau Sentarum National Park
Abstrak: Taman Nasional Danau Sentarum merupakan salah satu habitat lutung sentarum sebagai primata endemik Kalimantan yang hidup berkoeksistensi dengan masyarakat di sekitar habitatnya. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu: 1) mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis pengetahuan, persepsi, dan praktik perlindungan masyarakat terhadap lutung sentarum; 2) menghitung dan menganalisis pengaruh karakteristik masyarakat serta aktivitas antropogenik terhadap keberadaan lutung; dan 3) mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis bentuk koeksistensi lutung sentarum dan manusia. Penelitian dilakukan pada Januari 2022 dengan observasi langsung dan wawancara. Hasilnya bahwa masyarakat mengetahui status perlindungan lutung sentarum melalui larangan perburuan oleh TNDS. Pengetahuan terkait perilaku umumnya melihat perilaku makan di pagi hari atau musim buah rawa pada bulan Oktober-Desember. Persepsi masyarakat tergolong cukup−sangat baik (65,5%-95%) terkait ancaman kelestarian, manfaat, dan perlindungan. Hasil uji statistik karakteristik responden dan dampak kegiatan manusia tidak memiliki hubungan baik terhadap praktik perlindungan maupun respon lutung terhadap manusia. Koeksistensi waktu terutama terjadi pada pagi hari bersamaan dengan aktivitas nelayan mencari ikan. Koeksistensi ruang tersebar pada 23 lokasi di Resort Lupak Mawang dan 10 lokasi di Resort Sepandan dan sekitarnya., Danau Sentarum National Park is one of bornean langur’s habitats in which the Borneo endemic primate lives and coexists with humans. This research was aimed to 1) identify and analyze local people’s knowledge, perception, and conservation practices of langur; 2) calculate and analyze how people’s characteristics and their activities affecting langur; then 3) identify and analyze coexistence of langur and humans. In January 2022 it was conducted by observation and interview. Results are that the knowledge regarding langur consists of its conservation encouraged by hunting probihition from national park management. Langurs were mostly spotted when they are eating in the morning or during swamp fruits season in October−December. People’s perception is in range of good enough-very good (65,5%-95%) on various topics such as threats, utilities, and conservation. People’s characteristics and anthropogenic activities are not associated statistically with neither conservation act nor langur’s responses toward humans. Coexistence chiefly happens in the morning when fishermen start looking for fish and are distributed at 10 spots in Sepandan and its vicinity along with 23 spots in Lupak Mawang.
