Abstrak: Armyworm or (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) is one of main pest in plant crop. This pest might cause damage on the leaves and stems and reduce of crop production. Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai and Beauveria bassiana have been known as biocontrol agent to this pest. This research was aimed to observe the production time of B. thuringiensis subsp. aizawai toxin, measure the effect of toxin against Be. bassiana conidia, to test the activity of toxin, conidia and their mixture against S. litura. B. thuringiensis subsp. aizawai was grown on specific medium for B. thuringiensis. Toxin production of the isolate was measured every 4 hours up to 48 hours incubation. Be. bassiana was grown on the white rice medium and its conidia was grown on the Potato Dextrose Agar medium containing toxin. The activity test of toxin B. thuringiensis, Be. bassiana conidia, and their mixture was done by spraying them to S. litura larvae. The stasionary phase of B. thuringiensis was obtained at 16 hours incubation and the maximal toxin production at 48 hours. The highest mortality of S. litura larvae caused by toxin activity was 63.3% at 48 hours incubation. The highest mortality caused by conidia infection activity was 80% at the concentration of 108 conida ml-1. The highest mortality caused by their mixture was 96,7%.

Judul: Pengaruh Inokulum Bacillus thuringiensis terhadap Perubahan Struktur Usus Tengah Ulat Grayak (Spodoptera litura F.)
Abstrak: Bacillus thuringiensis was known as biocontrol agent of cotton leafworm growth. B. thuringiensis isolate produced protein crystal as Cry protein which on alkaline condition caused epitel cell in the midgut of cotton leafworm swelled. The aim of this research was to know the effect of B. thuringiensis inoculum from different subspesies to cotton leafworm and the histopatology change in its midgut. Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai (Bta), B. thuringiensis subsp. pakistani (Btp), B. thuringiensis 47 (Bt47), and B. thuringiensis Lot 2 (BtL2) were tested to 3rd instar larvae. The structures of its midgut were observed at 0, 24th, 48th, 72nd, 96th and 120th hours. They were preparated by Paraffin method and Hematoxylin-Eosin staining. Generally, all 0 hour treatments showed the similar condition with control which the peritrophic membrane and epithelial cells below were still normal. The peritrophic membrane was dissapear at 24th hours, followed by the swelling of epithelial cells and its cores at 48th till 72nd hours. At 96th and 120th hours, the epithelial cells were lysis and disintegrated. The BtL2 isolate had the highest and fastest damages, followed simultantly by Bta, Bt47, and Btp.

Judul: Konsep Taman Rumah Adat Bagas Godang Berbasis Budaya Mandailing, Kabupaten Mandailing Natal, Sumatera Utara.
Abstrak: Kekayaan suatu bangsa tidak terbatas pada kekayaan sumber daya alamnya akan tetapi juga kekayaan budayanya. Taman rumah tradisional merupakan salah satu kekayaan budaya di Indonesia yang dapat menjadi identitas dari suatu budaya tersebut. Budaya Mandailing sudah dikenal sejak abad ke-14 M. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan penyebutan nama Mandailing di kitab Negara Kertagama, karangan Mpu Prapanca. Budaya Mandailing awalnya banyak dipengaruhi oleh kepercayaan animisme dan dinamisme yang disebut sipelebegu. Kemudian perkembangan selanjutnya budaya Mandailing bersinggungan dengan Hindu- Budha. Akan tetapi Islam membawa pengaruh yang sangat besar terhadap budaya Mandailing. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan adanya filosofi hombar do adat dohot ibadat yaitu adat tidak boleh bertentangan dengan agama. Dalihan Natolu merupakan konsep kekerabatan yang banyak mempengaruhi nilai-nilai kehidupan masyarakat Mandailing. Konsep Dalihan Natolu menjadi konsep dasar yang mempengaruhi pola permukiman adat Mandailing. Dalihan Natolu terdiri dari mora, anak boru, dan kahanggi. Hubungan antara ketiga komponen ini menentukan jarak antar rumah di permukiman adat. Suatu permukiman terdapat Rumah tinggal yang merupakan landmark dari berdirinya suatu permukiman. Rumah tinggal ini disebut Bagas Godang. Bagas Godang bagi masyarakat Mandailing bukan hanya sebagai rumah tinggal seorang raja atau tunggani huta. Godang bermakna sebagai rumah bagi seluruh marga di huta adat tersebut. Bagi masyarakat Mandailing raja tidak hanya berperan sebagai penguasa huta adat, akan tetapi mereka adalah orang yang dituakan yang dapat menyelesaikan berbagai masalah di permukiman adat tersebut. Komplek Bagas Godang terdiri dari Bagas Godang atau kediaman raja, Sopo Godang yaitu tempat peyimpanan instrument alat music dan musyawarah, serta biasanya memiliki Sopo Eme atau lumbung padi, serta Alaman Bolak Selangseutang merupakan halaman.
