Judul: Endophytic bacteria as alternatives diseases control of bacterial wilt on ginger (Zingiber officinale).
Abstrak: Ginger is cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Growers expressed concern regarding the impact of pathogens on yields in recent years. Similarly, growers expressed concern regarding the effect that pathogen threats will have on the industry in the future. Bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is an important disease on ginger plant (Zingiber officinale Rosc) in Indonesia. The objective of this research was to study the effectiveness of endophytic bacteria in inhibiting the progress of bacterial wilt disease on ginger. Three isolates of endophytic bacteria were selected and tested their antibiosis activity and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) against the bacterial wilt disease (R. solanacearum). The research showed that under greenhouse condition all of the ginger plants treated with the 3 isolates of endophytic bacteria produced symptoms of bacterial wilt disease 7 days after inoculation of R. solanacearum. The 3 isolates of can only inhibit 12 % of severity of bacterial wilt disease on ginger up to 42 days after the inoculation, therefore they are not effective as biocontrol agent.

Judul: Pengaruh Pemupukan Anorganik (N, P, K) dan Potensi Limbah Sereh Wangi sebagai Bahan Organik terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Jahe Gajah (Zingiber officinale Rosc.).
Abstrak: Exports of ginger from Indonesia in the last three years has declined because the quality of the ginger can not meet world market competitiveness. Suboptim cultivation techniques become a constraint in the development of the ginger plant coupled with the excessive use of synthetic chemical fertilizers that causes low soil capacity. The development of environmentally friendly technology to reduce the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers is expected to address the development problems of the ginger plant. Cultivation systems based on the utilization of in-situ organic materials such as waste of lemongrass (cymbopogon citratus) is widely available in the surrounding area of the ginger plant need attention so that the empowerment of local input and medicinal needs can be realize. The research aims to determine the effect of some several of organic materials and inorganic fertilizers (N, P, K) on the growth and production of young ginger, and weed growth. The research conducted at Bogor Agricultural University, Experimental Station, Cikabayan, Darmaga, Bogor, started September 2011 to April 2012 and used a split-plot design. The main plot consisted of organic materials consisting of granules (20 ton / ha), Cymbopogon citratus compost buried in soil (20 t / ha), Cymbopogon citratus compost mulch (20 t / ha) and without organic fertilizer as controls. Sub plot are inorganic fertilizer consisted of ½ doses (N, P, K), 1 doses (N, P, K), 2 doses (N, P, K) and without inorganic fertilizer. Organic materials and inorganic fertilizer did not significantly affect the growth component of ginger. Plants treated with ½ doses of inorganic fertilizer showed the highest dry weight of rhizomes and significantly different with 2 doses and plant resistance to disease is 54,98%. Combined treatment of lemongrass compost buried in soil and inorganic fertilizer showed the higest dry weight of total weeds, but combined treatment of lemongrass compost mulch and inorganic fertilizer showed the lowest dry weight of total weeds. Lemongrass can be used as the source of organic fertilizer and herbicid, depending on the method used and treatment.

Judul: Struktur dan Karakteristik Optik Lapisan Semikonduktos Cu2O (Cuprous oxide) Hasil Deposisi Elektrokimia
Abstrak: Ballan semikonduktor Cu2O (Ctiprotis oxide) dipilih karena lnemiliki banyak keuntungan antara lain ; relatif murah, bahan dasar (Cu) mudah didapat, dan tidak beracun. Banyak metode deposisi telah digunakan untuk menghasilkan lapisan semikonduktor Cu,O, dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode deposisi elektrokimia. Deposisi elektrokimia dilakukan scbanyak dua salnpel dengan variasi tegangan -500 mV (sampel I ) dan 4 0 0 mV (sampel 2) terhadap SCE. Lapisan selnikonduktor Cu20 diatas kaca TCO yang dihasilkan dikal-akterisasi kristalografi (XRD), morfologi (SEM), dan optiknya (Spektrofotometer UV-VIS). Melalui karakterisasi XRD diketahui semikonduktor Cu20 yang terbentuk adalah polikristal.
