Abstrak: The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of enriched biofertilizer in some dosed for balancing shoot and root growth of red chili (Capsicum annuum. L) to support productivity and for biocontrol of pest and disease. The activator microbes used in this research belongs to Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), consist of : Azospirillum sp. (Strain NS01), Azotobacter sp. (Strain HY1141), Bacillus subtilis (Strain HU48), and Pseudomonas beteli (Strain ATCC1986IT). The experiment was carried out in green house by Completley Randomize Design Method that consist of 6 treatments and 9 replications. The treatments were soil with unriched biofertilizer in 2:1 dosed (P1), soil with enriched biofertilizer in 2:1 dosed (P2), soil with unriched biofertilizer in 3:1 dosed (P3), soil with enriched biofertilizer in 3:1 dosed (P4), soil with anorganic fertilizer (NPK) and soil without any fertilizer (Ko). The result showed that application of enriched biofertilizers by activator microbes increased macro nutrients C, N, P, K, Ca and Mg in biofertilizers, increased growth and balancing of red chili. Application of enriched biofertilizers also increased imunity of red chili from pest and disease.

Judul: Pemanfaatan Kitosan dan Media Organik untuk Pertumbuhan dan Produktivitas Tanaman Cabai Merah (Capsicum annum L.) di Screenhouse
Abstrak: Indonesian farmer incapable of fulfilling chili demands due to low productivity. Chitosan are capable of increasing productivity and inducing disease resistance against various pathogens. This research conducted to meet the best concentration of chitosan when combined with soil and manure as fertilizer. The combinations of soil and manure were 70%:30% (P1), 50%:50% (P2), and 30%:70% (P3), and the plants were sprayed with variation of chitosan concentration (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 ml/L). The measured parameters were plant heights, number of leaves, stem diameters, number of flowers and fruits, and fruit weights. Only number of flowers and fruits, and fruit weights showed significant results based on Duncan test 5%. The combination of P2 medium with 2 ml/L of chitosan was the best combination for increasing flowers in week 13th (10) and fruit in week 15th (24.33) significantly. The combination of P2 medium with 4 ml/L of chitosan was the best combination for increasing fruit weights in week 18th (75.67 gr) significantly. Chitosan can also increase plant recovery time when damaged by disease.

Judul: Aspek kehidupan dan reproduksi pada lumba-lumba
Abstrak: Lumba-lumba merupakan mammalia yang hidup di laut dan sebagian hidup di beberapa perairan air tawar. Hewan ini mempunyai bentuk tubuh yang streamline, moncong seperti paruh serta mempunyai gigi kurang lebih 200 buah. Tubuh lumba-lumba dilapisi oleh spermaceti yang terdiri dari lapisan minyak. Hewan yang sering terlihat di gelanggang-gelanggang samudra ini mempunyai ekor horizontal dan panjang tubuhnya berkisar 1,1 meter sampai 9 meter (Yablokov, 1974). Bia- sanya jantan lebih besar daripada yang betina. Di dalam klasifikasinya lumba-lumba termasuk dalam kelas mammalia, ordo Cetacea dan subordo Odontoceti. Di seluruh perairan dunia, terdapat banyak sekali spesies lumba-lumba, yang keseluruhannya termasuk ke dalam kelompok famili Delphinidae yang terdiri atas 19 genus ya- itu : Steno, Sotalia, Stenella, Delphinus, Lissodelphis, Orchinus, Lagenodelphis, Tursiops, Grampus, Lagenorhynchus Orcaella, Cephalorhynchus, Peponocephala, Feresa, Pseu- dorca, Globicephala, Phocoena, Neophocoena, dan yang terakhir Phoconoides (Yablokov, 1974). Tiga genus yang terakhir tidak termasuk lumba-lumba. Selain famili tersebut di atas, terdapat pula lumba- lumba yang hidup di perairan air tawar, yaitu dari famili Platanistidae (Cousteau, J.Y. , 1975). Makanan utama lumba-lumba berupa ikan (tuna, cumi-cu- mi, dan lain-lain), mollusca, cephalopoda dan crustacea. Dalam mencari makanannya, lumba-lumba bermigrasi secara teratur. Mereka menghabiskan musim panas di daerah kutub, kemudian bermigrasi ke daerah selatan selama musim dingin. Habitat lumba-lumba yang mutlak adalah air, baik air asin maupun air tawar. Mereka tidak dapat meninggalkan air, meskipun menurut asal-usulnya lumba-lumba merupakan mammalia darat (Coffey, D.J. 1977). Menurut Yablokov (1974) lumba-lumba betina memiliki sepasang ovarium yang rata/licin yang terdapat dalam ova- rian sac. Pada vagina beberapa spesies lumba-lumba terda- pat sumbat vagina/plug..dst
