Judul: Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Kacang Bogor (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt) pada Beberapa Jarak Tanam dan Frekuensi Pembumbunan
Abstrak: This research aimed to get optimal plant spacing and proper frequency in ridging to produce the best yields. This research was conducted in randomized complete block design factorial with two factors and three replications. The first factor is plant spacing which consist of six levels: 40 cm x 25 cm, 50 cm x 25 cm, 60 cm x 25 cm, 40 cm x 40 cm, 50 cm x 50 cm, and 60 cm x 60 cm. The second factor is ridging frequencies which consist of two levels: twice and three times ridging. The result of this research showed that plant spacing effected significantly the number of leaves, canopy width, leaf area index, plant dry weight per plant, pods wet weight per plant, pods dry weight per plant, seed weight per plant, number of filled pods per plant, number of harvested plant, pods wet weight plot, pods dry weight plot, and seed weight plot, whereas ridging frequency only effected significantly on plant dry weight per plant. Plant spacing 60 cm x 25 cm and 40 cm x 40 cm produced the best yields and suitable for use in plant cultivation.

Judul: Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Kacang Bogor (Vigna Subterranea (L.) Verdcourt) Pada Beberapa Jarak Tanam Dan Pemupukan
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh jarak tanam dan jenis pupuk terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi kacang bogor (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt). Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan kelompok lengkap teracak faktorial dengan dua faktor yaitu jarak tanam dan pemupukan. Faktor jarak tanam terdiri atas empat taraf yaitu jarak tanam 60 cm x 20 cm, 50 cm x 20 cm, 60 cm x 10 cm, dan 50 cm x 10 cm. Faktor pemupukan terdiri atas dua taraf yaitu pupuk kandang + NPK dan tanpa pupuk. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jarak tanam mempengaruhi jumlah daun, indeks luas daun, bobot polong kering per tanaman, indeks panen, bobot polong basah per meter, bobot polong kering per meter, dan bobot biji per meter. Pemupukan tidak mempengaruhi semua peubah yang diamati. Jarak tanam 50 cm x 20 cm menghasilkan pertumbuhan dan produksi per individu tanaman yang tertinggi sedangkan jarak tanam 60 cm x 10 cm menghasilkan produksi per meter yang tertinggi.

Judul: Sintesis dan Pencirian Senyawa 4-Dodekanadioilbis(1-fenil-3-metil-5-pirazolon) sebagai Ionofor untuk Penentuan Ion Lu3+ dengan Teknik Elektrode Selektif Ion
Abstrak: Ion selective electrode (ISE) as an alternative potentiometric method is used widely in determining Lu3+. The success of this method depends on the ionophor used on the ISE. The compound of 4-dodecanedioylbis(1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone) or H2DdBP as pyrazolone derivatives will be used as ionophor on ISE-Lu3+. H2DdBP had been successfully synthesized by Jensen’s method. This method involved reaction of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and dodecanedioyl chloride in basic condition. A compound was produced as a solid substance and was purified by recrystallization using chloroform-ethanol. High performance liquid chromatogram showed that the compound was pure. The compound was in keto form with melting point range of 150-152ºC. Infrared spectra showed vibration peaks (cm-1) were 3451 (br, OH), 1624 (s, C=O), 1589 (s, phenyl C=C), 1558 (s, pyrazolone ring). Chemical shifts (Hz) for 1H-NMR were 7.81–7.84, 7.43–7.46, 7.26–7.290 (m, 10H, Ph); 2.72–2.75 (t, 4H, (CH2)2); 2.47 (s, 6H, CH3); 1.71–1.76 (m, 4H, (CH2)2); 1.32 (m, 12H, (CH2)6). All of these properties showed the characteristics of H2DdBP. Nernst factor of ISE-Lu3+ for two repetitions were 10.40 mV/decade and 8.60 mV/decade which showed that ISE-Lu3+ had good response in determining Lu3+.
