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: Elektrode Komposit Zeolit sebagai Biosensor Berbasis Tirosinase
Abstrak: Tyrosinase is a copper-containing oxidase, which catalyzes the first 2 steps in mammalian melanogenesis and responsible for enzymatic browning reactions. This study aims to develop and characterize tyrosinase biosensor of zeolite composite and its stability. The enzyme should be properly attached to the transducer for maintaining enzyme activity. Tyrosinase activity was monitored by L-DOPA as a substrate. The optimum conditions of tyrosinase activity obtained by respon optimizer were tyrosinase 50 U/mL and zeolite 150 mg/mL. Using of ferrocene as mediator and zeolite as the immobilization matrix on electrode increased the activity of tyrosinase. KMapp and Imaks app values of tyrosinase were determined by Lineweaver-Burk method, giving 6.04 mM and 6.42 mM, respectively. The electrode of zeolite as immobilizing matrix was relatively stable until 2 hours, the remaining tyrosinase activity was 87.45%
