Judul: Respons Beberapa Varietas Tomat (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) terhadap Penanaman Kacang Hias (Arachis pintoi Krap. & Greg.) dalam Sistem Olah Tanah Minimum
Abstrak: The objective of this research was to determine the responses of several tomato varieties of pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi) planting in minimum tillage system. This research was conducted in Cikarawang Experiment Station, IPB Darmaga, Bogor, from Desember 2014 to April 2015. The experimental design that used in this experiment was split plot-randomized complete block design with two factors (biomulch planting and varieties of tomato) and three replications. The main plot is two different mulch and tillage treatment (Pinto peanut planting as biomulch with minimum tillage for tomato (M1) and no mulch used with conventional tillage for tomato (M0)) and six levels of variety such as Permata F1, Marglobe, Roma, Yasmin F1, Tomat rampai (Tora), and Sukon. The result of this research indicates that pinto peanut planting with minimum tillage system not significantly effected growth (plant height and number of leaves), production of tomato (weight per plant and weight per tile), and fruit quality (fruit hardness, total acid titrated, and fruit sweetness). Pinto peanut (A. pintoi) as biomulch is suitable to apply in tomato cultivation with minimum tillage system.

Judul: Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Tomat (Lycopersicon esculantum Mill.) Toleran Naungan pada Pola Tanam Tumpang Sari
Abstrak: Low light intensity is a limiting factor in the cultivation of intercropping. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of shade on growth and production of shade tolerant tomato in intercropping system. The treatments was conducted in IPB experimental farm in Cikabayan from February to June 2014. The treatments was arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiment consisted of 6 intercropping treatments, 3 monoculture of tomatoes (Rempai, Bogor, Palupi) and 2 monoculture of corn with 80 cm x 40 cm and 100 cm x 40 cm planting distance. The result showed that intercropping system decreased tomatoes plant growth and production, except Palupi which is increase on intercropping treatment than it’s monoculture. However, intercropping system doesn’t affected growth and production of corn. The intercropped of tomatoes and corn gave the land equivalent ratio (LER) = 1.56-3.60, indicating that agronomically intercropping system were more adventageous than those in the monoculture system.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
