Abstrak: Trichoderma sp. is typical microorganism that could increase the decomposition rate of organic materials, whereas by-product of sugar processing molasse can be used as energy source for support their growth. The aim of this research was to study the effect of Trichoderma sp. and molasses addition on rate of litters decomposition within biopore infiltration hole and water infiltration rate. This research used rendomized block design with three replications. The treatments applied, are (i) control (without leaf litter, P0), (ii) leaf litter (P1), (iii) leaf litter + molasses (P2), (iv) leaf litter + Trichoderma sp. (P3), and (v) leaf litter + combined Trichoderma sp. and molasses (P4). During the decomposition process, carbon (C) concentration in leaf litters was tended to decrease. The lowest carbon concentration contained in compost was found in treatment of P4 (18% C), whereas total nitrogen was varied among the treatments. The highest total nitrogen concentration was observed in treatment of P3 (0.72% N). The lowest C/N value was resulted in treatment of P3 (26.41). Phospore (P) and potassium (K) in compost was decreased during the decomposition process. All treatments with organic materials addition resulted in the increase of infiltration rate of biopore infiltration hole.

Abstrak: Organic waste addition into the biopore infiltration hole could improve soil biological properties due the increase of soil biological activities. The decomposition organic waste in the biopore infiltration hole could be accelerated by adding activator. The activators that could be added were Trichoderma sp. and molasses. This research aimed at finding out the effect of giving Trichoderma sp. and molasses in soil biological properties including population and diversity of soil fauna, microbes and fungi population at arround the biopore infiltration hole. Design model that used was randomized block design (RBD) with Least Significant Difference (LSD) test on the level of trust 5%. The treatment of this research were, P0: without treatment of organic waste (SO) + molasses (M) + Trichoderma sp. (T), P1: with addition of SO, P2: with addition of SO + M, P3: with addition of SO + T, and P4: with addition of SO + M + T. The result of this research showed that the addition of Trichoderma sp. (SO+T) and molasses (SO + M) treatments in biopore infiltration hole could improve the soil biological properties. It was indicated by the high of soil microbes population 1.59 x 106 CFU (Colony Forming Unit)/g ADW (Absolute Dry Weight) soil to the both treatments and significantly higher compared to the P0. Both of the treatments also had the highest population of soil fauna than other treatments, that were 6071 individual/m2 (SO + T) and 1908 individual/m2 (SO + M), and had high population of soil fungi, that were 1.26 x 104 CFU/g ADW soil (SO + T) and 1.42 x 104 CFU/g ADW soil (SO + M), nevertheless they all did not have significantly effect in increasing the diversity of soil fauna.

Judul: Warna bulu kucing ras Persia : variasi pola warna dan pewarisannya
Abstrak: Kucing Persia merupakan kucing ras yang paling umum dijumpai di Indonesia. Kucing Persia memiliki bulu yang panjang dengan variasi warna bulu yang sangat beragam. Perkawinan yang lebih terarah sangat perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas genetik warna dan pola warna bulu kucing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari variasi warna dan pola warna bulu kucing Persia yang terdapat di Indonesia, yang dilakukan di kantor pusat Cat Fancy Indonesia mulai bulan Oktober 2000 sampai Januari 2001. Data yang digunakan merupakan data pedigree kucing Persia yang tercatat di Cat Fancy Indonesia dari tahun 1997 sampai Oktober 2001 yang terdiri dari 187 jantan dan 258 betina, selain itu juga dilakukan pengamatan langsung kepada tiga penyayang dan breeder kucing yang ada di Bandung. Secara umum tercatat 104 penyayang dan breeder kucing ras di Indonesia, 74,04% terdapat di Jawa Barat dan sisanya (25%) terdapat di daerah Jakarta. Jumlah kucing Persia yang lahir di Indonesia adalah 387 kucing (87,16%), yang terdiri dari 163 (42,12%) jantan dan 224 (57,88%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang diimpor ke Indonesia adalah sebanyak 57 (12,845%) yang terdiri dari 23 (40,35%) jantan dan 34 (59,65%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang terdapat di Jawa Barat (84,14%) lebih banyak dibanding jumlah kucing Persia yang ada di Jakarta (14,86%). Secara umum warna bulu cream (9,01%) dan pola warna solid (34,01%) memiliki persentase tertinggi. Warna cream merupakan warna dilusi dari warna merah (red) yang dapat dihasilkan dari berbagai macam kombinasi warna bulu yang dimiliki tetua sebelumnya, sebagai contoh dari perkawinan tetua yang memiliki warna bulu cream dengan red smoke. Perkawinan antara tetua yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang tidak murni dapat menghasilkan turunan yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang bervariasi.
