Abstrak: Exploiting microorganism become one of alternatives in using biofertilizer. Aspergillus niger represent one of examples of fungi which can be used as an agent of biofertilizer. The aim of this research was to produce a good quality of A. niger biofertilizer inoculum for field application using agricultural organic waste as a carrier. The research activities were carried out in two stages. First stage was screened the 5 agricultural organic wastes, namely corn cob, rice straw, banana stem, organic market waste, and sorghum stem as fungal growth medium. Split corn was used as a control treatment. Spore and propagule numbers were used as parameter measured for screening activities. Observation was conducted in 20, 40 and 60 days after inoculation. Second stage of the research was to analyze the quality of dried inoculum produced from the first stage of experiment that was kept in 0, 1, 2 and 3 months at room temperature. The parameter measured were spore and propagule numbers, root colonization, and growth respon. Rice and maize were used as tested crops. The A. niger grew very well in the all organic wastes tested. Amoung the 5 wastes tested, organic market waste was the best medium followed by sorghum stem, banana stem, corn cob and rice straw. The propagule obtained was higher than the spore number. The heating and the grinding treatments reduced the quality of inoculum. Reduction of spore number was 4,3%/g media and the propagule was 15,0%/g media compared with the control treatment. This indicated that viability of spore was better than miselia. Based on the numbers of spore and propagule productions indicated that inoculum quality obtained from organic market waste was better than the control treatment (split corn). The 3 months storage treatment had no effect on survival of the fungi obtained from organic market waste. Similarly, physical characteristic of carrier media. However, the 3 months storage treatment reduced the capability of the fungi in colonizing and improving plant growth. Similar results were also observed in the inoculum produced from split corn as a control treatment. The effect of organic matter derived from organic market waste was different from that split corn. Organic market waste increased the growth of rice and maize crops, whereas split corn reduce the growth of both crops.

Judul: Pengaruh Inokulasi Cendawan Endofit Akar Aspergillus niger dan  Perlakuan Fosfat terhadap Pertumbuhan Tanaman Padi Gogo  (Oryza sativa) dan Jagung (Zea mays).
Abstrak: Pemanfaatan mikroorganisme menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam penggunaan pupuk hayati. Cendawan endofit akar Aspergillus niger merupakan salah satu contoh cendawan yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai agen pupuk hayati. Namun penelitian terhadap pemanfaatan cedawan tersebut sebagai agen pupuk hayati belum banyak dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari peranan cendawan endofit akar A. niger pada berbagai taraf P terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman padi dan jagung. Kegiatan penelitian dilakukan dalam beberapa tahapan yang meliputi produksi miselia sebagai inokulum dan analisis pertumbuhan cendawan dan respon tumbuh tanaman pada media cair dan tanah pada berbagai konsentrasi P. Produksi cendawan untuk inokulum dilakukan dengan 2 cara yaitu, pada media (PDB) dan media jagung steril. Inokulum yang ditumbuhkan pada media PDB digunakan untuk pengujian tanaman pada media cair sedangkan inokulum dari media jagung steril digunakan untuk pengujian tanaman pada media tanah.

Judul: Invers Drazin dari Matriks Toeplitz Singular
Abstrak: Matriks Toeplitz adalah matriks yang setiap unsur pada diagonal utama bernilai sama dan setiap unsur pada subdiagonal yang bersesuaian dengan diagonal utama juga bernilai sama. Matriks singular adalah matriks yang tidak bisa ditentukan inversnya. Akan tetapi, dapat diupayakan untuk ditentukan inversnya menggunakan invers matriks yang diperumum. Invers Drazin merupakan salah satu jenis invers matriks yang diperumum. Pada karya ilmiah ini ditentukan invers Drazin dari matriks Toeplitz singular dengan menggunakan metode Leverrier Faddeev. Kemudian, ditentukan invers Drazin dari matriks Toeplitz singular yang direpresentasikan sebagai penjumlahan segitiga bawah dan segitiga atas matriks Toeplitz berdasar pada teorema Gohberg dan Semencul., Toeplitz matrix is a matrix in with element on the main diagonal has the same value and on the subdiagonal corresponding to the main diagonal also has the same value. Singular matrix is a matrix that has no inverse. However, it can be attempted to determine the inverse using a generalized inverse matrix. Inverse Drazin is a type of generalized matrix inverse. This paper discussed the inverse Drazin for a singular Toeplitz matrix using the Leverrier Faddeev method. Then, the Drazin inverse of the singular Toeplitz matrix which is represented as a sum of products of lower and upper triangular Toeplitz matrix based on Gohberg and Semencul theorem.
