Judul: Epidemiology and control of soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd)
Abstrak: Soybean rust, caused by P. pachyrhilzl, is one of the most seriuos legume diseases in Indonesia. Monthly observations of the diases symptoms were made at Pacet experiment farm (1100 m) in West Java. The rust Lessions were light to dark brown or blackish and were manly on the underside of the leaves. In Earlier leaf tages, two types of diases symptoms were found: lesions with brown halo zonesand lesion without haloes. It was presumed that this might indicate the presence of at least two rases of the patogen. The first type appeared to be more virulent than the record.

Judul: Studies on the effectivity of several enviromental friendly pest management components to bacterial pustule on soybean
Abstrak: Ecological approach of plant disease management is needed to enhance the sustainable agriculture in Indonesia. Bacterial pustule disease has been known as an important soybean disease because of its potential to reduce soybean yield in Indonesia. The causal agent of the disease is Xunthomonus uxonopodzs pv. glycmes. To control the pustule disease, series of experiments were done to determine the effect of combination of the culture system and using biocontrol agents or botanical bactericide on the disease severity and yield of soybean. The researches have been conducted at the Bacteriology Laboratory of Plant Pest and Disease Department, the Agriculture Faculty, the Chemistry Laboratory of Mathematics and Natural Science Faculty, the Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory of Biotechnology Research Centre and Cikarawang Experimental Station, Bogor Agricultural University. The works have been done from June 2000 until December 2002. The results of this work showed that (I) the liquid formulation of P. fluorescens GI 34 in molasses 1% retarded Xa. pv glycznes up to 60 days after storage by the exudation of siderofor, hydrogen cyanida, and biosurfactant and that of B subtzlzs BBO 1 also retarded Xu. pv glycznes by the exudation of biosurfactant, (2) the matoa leaf extract with gallic acid 8.2 mg/g leaf fresh weight in the concentration of 20 % in water gave the highest retardation to the bacterial pustule, (3) the combination of intercropped system soybean-corn with the application of biocontrol agents gave the highest retardation effect : decreasing the infection rate from 0.11 unit/days to 0.06 unit/days in dry season and decreased the infection rate from 0.13 unit/days to 0.07 unit/days in wet season, (4) the combination of intercropped system soybean-corn with the application of biocontrol agents gave the highest income (Rp 1,765,000.00/ha in dry season and Rp 1,363,000.00/ha in wet season)., Di Indonesia, pengendalian penyakit tanaman yang bersifat ramah lingkungan diperlukan untuk mendukung sistem pertanian berkelanjutan. Penyakit pustule bakteri merupakan penyakit penting yang mengakibatkan rendahnya produksi kedelai di Indonesia. Penyebab penyakit pustule bakteri adalah Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Glycines. Untuk mengendalikan penyakit pustule bakteri kedelai dilakukan suatu seri percobaan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh kombinasi pola tanam dengan aplikasi bakteri biokontrol atau bakterisida botani terhadap keparahan penyakit dan produksi kedelai.

Judul: Desain Sistem Transfer Energi Nirkabel Berbasiskan Tesla Coil
Abstrak: Tesla coil merupakan alat yang ditemukan oleh Nikola Tesla yang dapat mentransmisikan daya tanpa kabel dengan memanfaatkan prinsip induksi elektromagnetik. Pada penelitian ini dibuat sebuah prototype Tesla Coil dengan menggunakan transistor C1970 dan receiver menggunakan rangkaian LC. Identifikasi alat meliputi pengaruh daya input transmitter terhadap receiver, bentuk signal yang dipancarkan transmitter, pengaruh jarak transmitter dan receiver, nilai efisiensi serta efek alat terhadap perangkat lain. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa semakin besar daya input maka semakin besar daya yang dipancarkan oleh transmitter. Bentuk sinyal yang dipancarkan oleh transmitter berupa gelombang listrik AC sinusoidal dengan frekuensi ~2.9 MHz. Semakin jauh jarak receiver terhadap transmitter maka semakin kecil amplitudo gelombang AC yang diterima oleh receiver, menyebabkan semakin kecil daya yang diterima oleh receiver. Adapun nilai efisiensi terbesar penangkapan daya oleh receiver yaitu sebesar 0.00516 % serta terdapat gangguan pada alat-alat tertentu seperti monitor komputer dan radio.
