Judul: Preparation of Integrated Pest Management Design on Organic Farming Land at Rosy's Veggies Farm Sukabumi
Abstrak: Pertanian organik merupakan salah satu cara budidaya yang dapat mendukung pelestarian lingkungan dan tidak terlepas dari serangan hama. Pengendalian hama terpadu merupakan salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi hama yang menyerang pertanian organik. Rosy's Veggies Farm merupakan salah satu pertanian organik yang belum sepenuhnya menerapkan prinsip pengendalian hama terpadu dalam memantau dan mengendalikan hama. Kegiatan ini bertujuan mengembangkan desain pengendalian hama terpadu yang sesuai dengan pertanian organik di Rosy's Veggies Farm Sukabumi.Kegiatan ini meliputi pemantauan serangga menggunakan 3 jenis perangkap yaitu yellow sticky trap, pitfall trap dan light trap, pengamatan tanaman bergejala pada tanaman brokoli, buncis, dan sawi pahit, dan pengembangan desain pengendalian hama terpadu yang spesifik. Dari hasil perangkap, hama banyak ditemukan pada yellow sticky trap. Hama utama pada brokoli adalah Crocidolomia pavonana dan Myzus persicae, hama pada sawi pahit adalah Bradybaena similaris, Phyllotreta striolata dan Crocidolomia pavonana, hama pada buncis adalah Liriomyza sp. dan Henosepilachna sp. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan, wawancara dan keterlibatan langsung dalam proses pengendalian hama, maka dapat diusulkan rancangan yang mengikuti pengendalianhama terpadu yaitu pemanfaatan PGPR, musuh alami, agens hayati, pestida nabati, tumpang sari dan biofumigasi., Organic farming has been championed as an environmental friendly farming methods and is align with conservation issues, however, the crops are still not immune from pest attacks. Integrated pest management is one of the efforts to overcome pests that attack organic farming. Rosy's Veggies Farm, an organic farm in Sukabumi, Jawa Barat has not fully implemented the principle of integrated pest management in their pest monitoring and pest management practices. This activity aimsto develop an integrated pest control design that issuitable for organic farming at Rosy's Veggies Farm Sukabumi. This activity includes insect monitoring using 3 types of traps, yellow sticky trap, pitfall trap and light trap, observation of symptomatic plants in broccoli, chickpea and bitter mustard plants, and development of specific integrated pest management designs. From the trap results, many pests were found in the yellow sticky trap. The main pests on broccoli were Crocidolomia pavonana and Myzus persicae, pests on bitter mustard were Bradybaena similaris, Phyllotreta striolata and Crocidolomia pavonana, pests on chickpeas were Liriomyza sp. and Henosepilachna sp. Based on the results of observations, interviews and direct involvement in the pest management process, a design that follows integrated pest control can be proposed, use of PGPR, natural enemies, biological agents, vegetable pesticides, intercropping and biofumigation.

Judul: Pengendalian Hama dan Penyakit Tanaman Stroberi dengan Sistem Biointensif di La Fresa Farm, Kabupaten Bandung
Abstrak: Pengendalian hama dan penyakit stroberi (Fragaria X ananassa) yang umum dilakukan adalah dengan penyemprotan pestisida yang dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Hal ini mendorong pengembangan produksi stroberi yang ramah lingkungan dengan sistem biointensif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menginventarisasi hama dan penyakit serta mengetahui pengaruh sistem biointensif terhadap hama, penyakit dan produksi stroberi. Pengamatan dilakukan setiap minggu sebanyak tujuh kali dengan menginventarisasi jenis dan populasi hama serta intensitas penyakit pada tiga lahan dengan metode penanaman berbeda, yaitu rak, bedengan, dan polybag. Pengujian biointensif dilaksanakan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dengan tiga perlakuan kombinasi mikroba dan solarisasi serta perlakuan pestisida kimia dan kontrol. Mikroba agens hayati yang digunakan adalah Bacillus polymixa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Rhizobium sp., Lecanicillium sp., Bacillus thuringiensis, Serratia marcescens dan Trichoderma hamatum. Tungau, thrips, dan ulat grayak ditemukan dengan populasi masing-masing 0,31-1,74 ekor/tanaman, 0,08-0,51 ekor/tanaman, dan 0,08-1,63 ekor/tanaman. Penyakit yang dominan ditemukan adalah bercak daun (Neopestalotiopsis sp.) dengan insidensi 41-100% dan severitas 10,25-38%. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa solarisasi tanah dapat meningkatkan suhu tanah hingga 58,50 oC. Sistem biointensif dapat menekan severitas penyakit bercak daun dan ulat grayak serta meningkatkan produksi lebih baik dibandingkan kontrol. Produksi tertinggi terdapat pada perlakuan BIO 2 dan BIO 3 sebesar 37,14 dan 36,96 g/tanaman., Strawberry (Fragaria X ananassa) pests and diseases control are commonly carried out by spraying pesticides that can cause negative impacts on the environment. This encourages the development of environmentally friendly strawberry production with a biointensive system. This study aims to inventory pests and diseases and to determine the influence of biointensive systems on pests, diseases and strawberry production. Observations were carried out seven times a week by inventorying the types, populations of pests and disease intensity in three fields with different planting methods, namely racks, beds and polybags. The biointensive test was carried out using a randomized block design with three treatments combining microbes and solarization as well as chemical pesticide treatments and control. The biocontrol microbes used include Bacillus polymixa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Rhizobium sp., Lecanicillium sp., Bacillus thuringiensis, Serratia marcescens and Trichoderma hamatum. Mites, thrips, and armyworms were found with populations of 0,31-1,74 individuals/plant, 0,08-0,51 individuals/plant and 0,08-1,63 individuals/plant, respectively. The dominant disease found was leaf spot (Neopestalotiopsis sp.) with an incidence of 41-100% and a severity of 10,25-38%. The test results showed that soil solarization can increase soil temperature up to 58,50 oC. The biointensive system can suppress the severity of leaf spot and armyworm and increase production better than control. The highest production was found at BIO 2 and BIO 3 treatments of 37,14 and 36,96 g/plant.

Judul: The Effects of Variance of Interest rate to Variance of Annuity Future Values
Abstrak: Time value of money is a concept that refers to the difference of the value of money due to time difference. The value of money for present time would not be the same as the value of money in the future. The value of money for present time is called as Present Value (PV) of the money and the value of money for future time is called Future Value (FV) of the money. Determination the value of money, for present and future time, depends on the time and rate of return. The value of money is determined by several factors such as inflation, fluctuation of interest rates, and government policy in securities and taxation. Due to fluctuation of the value of money we need a FV formulation, it is useful for knowing whether an investment can be profitable or not, and this information is useful also in budget analysis. Annuity is defined as a series of payments made for a specific period. The payment, fixed or varied, can be made at the beginning or at the end of the period. Annuity paid at the beginning of the period is called annuity-due and annuity paid at the end of the period is called immediate annuity-certain. The accumulated value of the annuity after few years later is called as a final value or a future value. Burnecki et al. (2003) have discussed about the FV of a fixed-rate annuity in which payments are made according to the arithmetic or geometric series. They have also examined FV for annuities in which payments are made according to arithmetic or geometric series with random rates of interest. This paper examines FV for annuity-due in which payments are made according to arithmetic or geometric series with interest rates as a random variable, which is normal distribution ,  . Future value formula is expressed in recursive form. FV for annuity-due which payments are made according to the arithmetic or geometric series with random rates of interest is calculated by theoretical way and simulation way. The random rates of interest is denoted as k k i  i  , where k i an independent random variable; i is a constant and k  is a random variable which has normal distribution ,  . By using the determined parameters, a sequence of random rates of interest are generated for theoretical calculation. Meanwhile for the simulation, the random rates of interest is generated 1000 times for the simulation. The generated data give mean value, variance, and standard deviation. Moreover, error of mean value, variance, and standard deviation from the theoretical and simulation results are calculated. Error calculation uses Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE). The smaller the value of SMAPE is the more accurate the simulation. The interest rate variances are varied from 0.000036 to 0.0001 to study the relationship between variance of rates of interest and variance of future value. The theoretical and simulation results show that when the variance of random rates of interest increases, then the variance of FV increases linearly. FV of the annuity-due in
