Judul: The Development Prospect of Pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) Based On Land Potency and Financial Feasibility. (case study in Subang, West Java)
Abstrak: Pineapple is a pre-eminent comodity of Subang. Pineapples in SubProvince of Subang are spread in several districts, one of the development center is District of Jalancagak which productivity is 25-35 ton/ha. Such productivity is less than expectation which is 50-60 ton/ha (Official of Agriculture Subang District, 2004). Nevertheless, development of pineapple is one of the alternative way of land exploiting which is more effective and also economically rewarding. The aims of this research are to know the proper areas for pineapple, the economical land use (land rent), and financial feasibility so that the farm activity of pineapple could be developed in Sub-Province of Subang. Land Feasibility Analysis is conducted by using overlay method of secondary datas (land map, solum depth, texture, drainage, and bevel slope), while Financial Feasibility Analysis is obtained by interviewing the farmers on each class of land feasibility.

Judul: Analysis and Development Strategy of Pineapple Horticultural Agriculture Based on Rural Youth Empowerment
Abstrak: Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) Is one of Indonesia's leading agricultural commodities. West Java ranks the third largest pineapple producer in Indonesia, where 92% or approximately 130,956 tonnes of its production comes from Subang Regency. Pineapple production in Subang Regency in 2019 reached 187,448.2 tons. The largest pineapple centers in Subang Regency are concentrated in Jalancagak, Ciater and Cijambe Districts where the total production reaches 98% of the total pineapple production in Subang Regency. Besides having great potential, it turns out that pineapple corm farming still faces many problems. Among the issues that are considered very important are related to the decline in production and productivity of pineapple corms. In 2017 pineapple production in Subang Regency reached 238,647.9 tons but in 2018 the production decreased to only 187,448.2 tons or decreased by 23%. This study aims to formulate a pineapple fruit horticultural development strategy based on empowering village youth. The research location is in Cirangkong Village, Subang Regency. This research was conducted in October 2019-September 2020. The subjects of this study consisted of respondents and informants. Data collection for program evaluation determined 30 pineapple farmer respondents participating in the Dompet Dhuafa program. Collecting data for a survey of rural youth perceptions of agriculture took a sample of 50 village youths. The informants used in this study consisted of pineapple farmer / farmer figures, community leaders, village youth leaders, village officials and assistants of Dompet Dhuafa. The data used in this study are primary data and secondary data. Primary data were collected through surveys, observations, in-depth interviews and group discussions. Meanwhile, secondary data were collected from documents relevant to this research. Techniques in the formulation of strategies and action programs in this study use the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) method, which is an analytical process as well as a set of tools to assist in planning and project management oriented towards goals. The results of the program performance index assessment in the case of the pineapple farmer mentoring program carried out by Dompet Dhuafa received a score of 63.26 or an achievement level of 63.29%, this index value is included in the "Developing Program" category. Based on the survey results, the involvement of rural youth in the development of pineapple agriculture is still weak, this is indicated by the data that 78% of rural youth do not work in the agricultural sector, especially pineapple. What is quite interesting about this research is, although most of the rural youth do not work in agriculture, 90% of them still want to live in the village and 72% have a strong desire to be able to work in pineapple farming. Based on the results of stakeholder identification analysis, actors included in the main stakeholder category are Pineapple Farmers, Bandar Nanas, Association of Farmers Groups (Gapoktan), Bandar Nanas, Pineapple Farmer Association and Young Pineapple Farmers. Meanwhile, actors included in the category of supporting stakeholders are the Cijambe District Government, the Cijambe Agriculture Service / PPL, the Cirangkong Village Government, LPMD, BPD, Dompet Dhuafa, Bumdes Aulia Jaya, PT Morelli Makmur and PT Pachira.

Judul: Pertahanan pada ikan terhadap infestasi ichthyophthirius multifiliis dengan tetrahymena pyriformis dan tetrahymena thermophila
Abstrak: Ichthyophthirius multifiliis adalah protozoa dari kelas Oligohymenophorea, ordo Hymenostomatida dan famili Ophryoglenidae. Protozoa ini sering menyerang ikan liar, ikan yang dibudidayakan dan ikan hias dalam akuarium. Bentuk dewasanya (trophozoit) tinggal dibawah kulit ikan yang menjadi inangnya. Mereka makan runtuhan sel dan mengelupaskan epithel. Angka mortalitas dapat mencapai 100% pada ikan yang dipelihara dalam akuarium. Penyakit ini telah dilaporkan dari semua benua. Banyak preparat kimia yang dapat dipakai untuk mengontrol parasit ini. Yang paling berhasil dari antara preparat-preparat kimia yang digunakan adalah malachite green dengan konsentrasi 0.25 ppm yang dibiarkan bekerja selama 1 jam. Namun ada masalah yang timbul dalam pengobatan, karena di dalam hampir setiap perairan terdapat parasit tersebut. Hal ini menyebabkan sewaktu-waktu atau secara kontinyu terjadi infestasi oleh parasit ini dalam populasi ikan. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini maka tindakan yang dianggap praktis dan efektif untuk mengontrol parasit ini adalah imunisasi. Disinipun timbul permasalahan pula. Karena Ichthyophthirius multifiliis adalah parasit obligat, maka sulit mengumpulkannya dalam jumlah yang cukup untuk pembu- atan vaksin. Maka dicari sumber lain untuk membuat vaksin terhadap parasit ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Tetrahymena pyriformis dan Tetrahymena thermophila dapat dipakai sebagai vaksin terhadap Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. Masalah yang timbul kemudian adalah bahwa perlindungan terhadap Ichthyophthirius multifiliis ternyata tergantung pada strain (galur) atau isolat dari kedua spesies Tetrahymena di atas yang digunakan. Sebagai pertahanan bentuk lain dari ikan selain imunitas dapat dikemukakan ketahanan non imunologis yang tergantung pada spesies ikan dan kenaikan kadar vitamin C didalam makanan.
