Abstrak: Arable land for farming system is commonly acid soils and has low nutrient content. As its low fertility, it is needed an effort to improve soil fertility and productivity. Podsolik is highly weathered acid soils that has low fertility level, but it has wide spread. Two fundamental factors limit the fertility of acid soils; nutrient deficiencies e.g. P, Ca and Mg, and the presence of phytotoxic substances e.g soluble Al and Mn (Haynes and Mokolobate 2001). Various efforts to improve the chemical properties of Podsolik such as fertilization, organic materials addition and liming. This research was aimed to observe the effect of rock phosphate, organic materials and its combination in improvement of soil chemical properties and crop production of eggplant (Solanum melongena) in Podsolik from Gajrug. The treatment laid out in a randomized complete by design with three replications. Treatment consisted of addition of rock phosphate, SP-36, organic materials, and their combinations. The results showed that the treatment of organic materials (cow dung or rice straw) affected significantly on total-N, available-P, exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg, the uptake of P and Ca, and crop production of eggplant. However, the treatment of singular rock phosphate did not effect significantly on all observed parameters. The treatment of organic materials which is combined with rock phosphate or SP-36 showed a higher crop production of eggplant than the treatment of singular organic materials (cow dung or rice straw). The highest crop production of eggplant was found in treatment of rock phosphate 100% + rice straw. It was followed by the treatment of rock phosphate 100% + cow dung .

Abstrak: Potential of land resources in Indonesia is very large. Indonesia has 148 million ha of upland. Climate variation, specifically precipitation in most areas of Indonesia is relatively high therefore leaching of bases in the soil mostly high. It causes the low content of bases in soil, and then the soil become acid and have nutrients deficiency. About 102.8 million ha or 69.5 % of the total upland in Indonesia have acid soil. The utilization of acid soil for agriculture have several problems such as P-deficiency. It is due to the phosphate ions is adsorbed by the various component in the soil, such as Fe and Al ions, and Fe and or Al hydrous oxide. One of the efforts to overcome the P-deficiency is to apply rock phosphate into acid soil. The use of rock phosphate as fertilizer because highly soluble in the acid soil condition. Therefore, rock phosphate is appropriate as a source of P fertilizer in acid soil. The objectives of this research were to study the effect of rock phosphate fertilizer on the improvement acid soil quality, on groundnut yield, and P uptake of groundnut plant (Arachis hypogaea) in Latosol (Oxyc dytropept) Darmaga, Bogor. The experimental design was used is a randomized complete block design with one factor, that is dosage of phosphate fertilizers. Phosphate Fertilizer used in this experiment were rock phosphate and SP-36. Phosphate fertilizer dosages were: 0% (as a control treatment), Std 100%, Std 50% + P 50%, Std 25% + P 75%, P 100%, P 125%, and P 150%. The results of the study showed that rock phosphate fertilizer significantly increased the soil pH, exchangeable Ca, the uptake of Ca and P of groundnut plant. The phosphate fertilizer treatments were not increase significantly different in the growth, weight of pod, weight of seed, and percentage of full pod. However, the rock phosphate treatments resulted the percentage of full pod (87.76%-90.01%) was higher than standard fertilizer treatment (86.51%).

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
