Judul: Hama dan Penyakit Tanaman Pohpohan (Pilea Trinervia Wight) di Kecamatan Taman Sari, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Pohpohan (Pilea trinervia) is one of important indigenous vegetables. Pests and diseases on pohpohan have not been studied. The aim of this research was to study pests and diseases of pohpohan, management of pests and diseases, and cultivation practice which has been conducted at two villages in Bogor. Interview using structured questionnaire was done on 20 farmers. Field observation at two different locations by taking 10 plants diagonally with total of 20 pohpohan plants in once observation was carried out thereafter, identification, taking pests and disease on plant sample, collection and data analysis were conducted. There were not insect pests on sampled plants. Symptoms of pest were found on leaf such as shot leaf hole caused by famili Noctuidae, leaf chunks caused by famili Acrididae, and leaf white spot caused by famili Cicadellidae. Diseases of pilea were stem rot caused by R. solani Kuhn. Leaf spot caused by Phyllosticta sp.. Antrachnose caused by Colletotrichum sp.. There was no specific measures to control plant pests and diseases. Pilea was cultivated in agroforestry system under pinus and damar stand

Judul: Hama dan Penyakit Tanaman di Taman Bogor
Abstrak: Taman merupakan sebidang lahan terbuka dengan luasan yang didalamnya ditanami pohon, perdu, semak, dan rerumputan yang secara kreasi dapat dikombinasikan dari bahan lainnya. Dalam sebuah taman terdapat berbagai jenis tanaman yang tumbuh. Umumnya jenis tanaman yang banyak terdapat di taman kota ialah tanaman hias. Tanaman yang terserang hama dan penyakit akan menunjukkan gejala yang akan mengganggu nilai estetika tanaman yang tersedia serta akan mengganggu kenyamanan para pengunjung taman. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui, mengamati, dan mengidentifikasi hama dan penyakit pada pertanaman di Taman Heulang Kota Bogor dan Taman Himawari Kampus IPB Dramaga dengan pengamatan langsung dilapang dan mengidentifikasi berbagai hama dan penyakit yang ditemukan. Hama dan penyakit yang paling banyak ditemui di Taman Himawari adalah Bothrogonia addita, Kallitaxila granulata, Phenacoccus sp., Acanalonia conica, Omiodes indicata, Phaneroptera nana, Cercospora sp, Alternaria sp., dan Colletotrichum spp., sedangkan hama dan penyakit yang paling banyak ditemui di Taman Heulang adalah Bothrogonia addita, Kallitaxila granulata, Aphis gossypii, Doleschallia bisaltide, Puccinia sp., dan Colletotrichum spp., Park is an open land with an area planted with trees, shrubs, bushes, and grass which can be creatively combined with other materials. In a park, there are various types of plants growing. Generally, the types of plants that are often found in city parks are ornamental plants. Plants that are attacked by pests and diseases will show symptoms that will disrupt the aesthetic value of the plants and will disturb the comfort of park visitors. This research aims to find out, observe, and identify pests and diseases in plantations in Heulang Park, Bogor City, and Himawari Park, IPB Dramaga Campus by direct observation in the field and identifying the various pests and diseases found. The pests and diseases most commonly found in Himawari Park are Bothrogonia addita, Kallitaxila granulata, Phenacoccus sp., Acanalonia conica, Omiodes indicata, Phaneroptera nana, Cercospora sp., Alternaria sp., and Colletotrichum spp., while the most common pests and diseases found in Heulang Park were Bothrogonia addita, Kallitaxila granulata, Aphis gossypii, Doleschallia bisaltide, Puccinia sp., and Colletotrichum spp.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Zeolit untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that utilize methanol as the fuel source. The electrolyte membrane used in the DMFC system in this research was chitosan-zeolite composite membrane. The composite membrane was synthesized with chitosan-zeolite composition variation of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope, and for the specific gravity. Membrane performances were tested with methanol uptake, methanol permeability, conductivity, and potential difference in the DMFC system. The FTIR spectrum showed no formation of new functional groups inducating that the composite membrane was a result of physical mixing. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane was nonporous. Chitosan-zeolite 1:3 composite membrane had the highest specific gravity and methanol uptake, 1.4226 g/mL and 41.44%, respectively. The highest proton conductivity was showed by the 1:2 chitosanzeolite composite membrane, namely 7.2946× 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-zeolite composite membrane can be applied in DMFC system.
