Judul: Regression Analysis of The Effect of Nitrogen on Growth and Productivity of Sorghum bicollor L. Moench
Abstrak: Pertumbuhan sorgum yang optimal dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian dosis nitrogen yang tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi perbedaan dosis nitrogen terhadap hasil pertumbuhan dan produktivitas tanaman sorgum. Pada 20 penelitian dari tahun 2006-2020 diperoleh 211 data perlakuan dan diinput dalam Microsoft Excel 2016. Data tersebut meliputi data pertumbuhan dan produksi yaitu umur panen, tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, produksi bobot segar (BS), dan produksi bahan kering (BK). Kemudian data tersebut dianalisis menggunakan software IBM SPSS 26. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan dosis pupuk berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap umur panen, peningkatan produksi bahan segar (p<0,01) dan penurunan produksi bahan kering secara nyata (p<0,01). tetapi tidak mempengaruhi jumlah daun dan tinggi tanaman (p>0,01)., Optimal growth of sorghum can be done by giving the right dose of nitrogen. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in nitrogen dosing on growth yield and productivity of sorghum plants. A total of 20 studies from 2006-2020 obtained 211 treatment data and recorded in Microsoft Excel 2016. The data includes growth and production data, namely harvest age, plant height, number of leaves, production of fresh weight (BS), and production of dry matter (BK). Then the data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 26 software. The results showed that the addition of fertilizer doses, increased production of fresh matter (p<0.01) and significantly decreased dry matter production (p<0.01). but did not affect the number of leaves and plant height (p>0.01).

Judul: Determination of Physiological Maturity of Sorghum Seeds (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) with Two Doses of NPK Fertilizer
Abstrak: Pemupukan dengan dosis yang tepat akan meningkatkan produksi dan mutu benih sorgum. Umur panen yang tepat juga dapat mempengaruhi mutu benih yang dihasilkan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menentukan masak fisiologis benih sorgum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) pada dua dosis pemupukan NPK. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Split Plot dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Petak utama adalah dosis pupuk NPK dan anak petak adalah tingkat kemasakan benih setelah antesis. Dosis pupuk pertama yang digunakan yaitu urea 150 kg ha-1 , SP-36 100 kg ha-1 , dan KCl 100 kg ha-1. Dosis pupuk kedua yang digunakan yaitu urea 225 kg ha-1, SP-36 175 kg ha-1, dan KCl 175 kg ha-1. Tingkat kemasakan yang digunakan yaitu 25, 30, 35, 40 hari setelah antesis (HSA). Perlakuan diulang sebanyak tiga kali sehingga diperoleh 24 satuan percobaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh faktor tingkat kemasakan menunjukkan hasil yang berpengaruh sangat nyata pada tolok ukur kadar air, bobot 1000 butir, laju pertumbuhan kecambah, sedangkan kecepatan tumbuh benih mendapatkan hasil yang berpengaruh nyata. Pengaruh interaksi dosis pupuk NPK dan tingkat kemasakan benih sangat nyata terhadap pada tolok ukur bobot kering kecambah normal. Masak fisiologis benih sorgum diperoleh pada 35 hari setelah antesis dengan dosis pupuk urea 150 kg ha-1, SP-36 100 kg ha-1, dan KCl 100 kg ha-1 ., The fertilizer with the right doses will improve the results of production and quality of the sorgum seed. The physiological maturity characterized by a quality seed that has reached the maximum seed dry weight, viability and vigor. The aim of research is to determine the physiological maturity of the seed sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) at two doses of NPK fertilizer. The experiment was arranged in Split Plot Design with Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The main plot is dose of fertilizer and the sub plot is the level of maturity. The first dose is 15 kg ha-1 of urea, 100 kg ha-1 of SP-36, and 100 kg ha-1 of KCl. The second dose is 225 kg ha-1 of urea, 175 kg ha-1 of SP-36, and 175 kg ha-1 of KCl. The maturity level will harvest at 25, 30, 35, 40 days after anthesis (DAS). The treatment was repeated three times to obtain 24 experimental units. The results showed that the influence of the maturity level had a highly significant effect on the moisture content, 1000 grain weight, growth rate, had a significant effect to speed of germination. The interaction effect of NPK fertilizer dose and seed maturity level showed results had a highly significant effect to the standard dry weight of normal seedling. The physiological maturity of sorghum seeds is harvest at maturity level of 35 DSA with a doses of 150 kg ha-1 of urea, 100 kg ha-1 of SP-36, 100 kg ha-1 of KCl.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
