Abstrak: WIDYA MINATI. Development of white root fungi (Rigidoporus microporus) Rubber Plantation in Galang, Deli Serdang, North Sumatera. Supervised by BONNY PUTRA WAHYU SOEKARNO and ACHMAD. White root diseases (WRD) inducing by Rigidoporus microporus pathogen is one of the crucial diseases in rubber plantations. It can degrade harvest production in a range of 3 to 15 %. Becoming one of the soil-borne diseases, it has a strong relationship with the rubber plantation ecosystem. The R. microporus pathogen is highly affected by the ecosystem condition. The variation of disease severity in plantations occurred differently in each plantation as ecosystem alteration shapes, making research regarding the WRD development on the rubber plantation was needed to be carried out. This research used a survey method. It was conducted from January to March 2019 at three rubber plantations namely the PTPN III, and two smallholder estates situating at Galang Sub-district, Deli Serdang- North Sumatera. The chemical-soil analysis was taken in the North Sumatera Soil Laboratory of BPTP (Balai Penelitian Tanah). The laboratory-analysis of soil compounds consisted of organic-C, N, P, K, C/N ratio, and pH. Climate and vegetation data were also then investigated. The link between disease severity and soil chemicals was correlated to seek their relationship. Field observations indicate that the WRD attacks happen in all sampling plantations. This is due to the remaining plants found in each sampling plantation becoming the inoculum sources of the WRD. The highest and lowest attacks of WRD occurs on the first and second month accordingly in the PTPN III plantation at sampling plantations of A3 (47% and 53%), and small-holder estates (5% and 5%), respectively. Furthermore, the disease severities also happen in the same plantations namely at plantation A3 of PTPN III on both months (32.5% and 34.2%) and small-holder estates on both months (5% and 5%). The high attack and severity of the disease in the A3 plantation is presumed to cause by the soil containing highly sandy texture generating a high porosity as well. A high porosity supplies enough oxygen for the R. microporus to develop. Furthermore, a high humidity condition in this sampling plantation is designated by the weed vegetation of Nephrolepis bisarrata helping the WRD developed optimally. The correlation analysis between soil chemical compound and the disease severity indicates that the phosphate content and C/N ratio contribute a significant influence in a negative direction. The organic material compound level and nutrients denote an indirect role in the disease development namely providing nutrients for the plant. The lower contents of the C/N ratio and phosphate demonstrates the higher severity level of WRD. This research can be inferred that the development of WRD in the research location is surmised affecting by a high micro-humidity, nutrient compounds, and low organic material on the soil as well as a soil texture with high porosity.

Judul: Eksplorasi Bakteri Lisis sebagai Agens Pengendalian Hayati Penyakit Akar Putih (Rigidoporus lignosus (Kloztch) Imazeki) pada Tanaman Karet.
Abstrak: The hevea rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) is one of the important commodity in Indonesia for export purposes. One of the obstacles to be limiting in the production of hevea rubber is white root fungus disease caused by Rigidoporus lignosus. The purpose of this study was to explore and select a lysis bacteria from hevea rubber rhizosphere which have the potential as biological control agent of the disease. This research had been conducted in laboratory Wish, Dramaga, Bogor and laboratory Mycology, Departement of plant protection, faculty of agriculture, IPB on December 2014 until March 2015. Of the 251 isolates obtained in this study, 118 isolates on has the ability as cellulolytic, 68 isolates are cellulolytic and chitinolytic, and 65 isolates did have both of these properties. Out of the isolates that have lysis properties, 147 (79%) were not pathogenic based on the hypersensitivity test in tobacco plants. Among of those non-pathogenic isolates, 30 isolates could inhibit the radial growth R. lignosus in vitro testing. Based one the score of lysis index, inhibition zone, and growth inhibition, 13 isolates might be potential as biological control agents of R. lignosus.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
