Judul: Pengaruh cara budidaya bawang daun terhadap serangan pengorok daun Liriomyza spp. dan parasitoidnya
Abstrak: Biological control by natural enemies such as parasitoids is considered as an effective pest control. Intercropping can be done to manipulate the habitat to make suitable for parasitoids. The aim of this research was to study the effect of intercropping of green onion with carrots and spraying of carrot leaf extract on the infestation of leaf miner, Liriomyza spp. (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on green onion and parasitization rate of parasitoids on the pest. The experiment consisted of three treatments and four replications arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD). The treatments were 1) green onion grown in monoculture system, 2) green onion grown in monoculture system and sprayed with carrot leaf extract, and 3) green onion grown in intercropping system with carrot. Infestation of leaf miner, leaf miner population and parasitization were observed weekly by direct observation and using sticky trap. Two spesies of leafminer, i.e. Liriomyza huidobrensis and L. chinensis were found infesting green onion. Intercropping carrot with green onion and application of carrot leaf extract not affect the infestation of leafminer on green onion

Abstrak: Green onion is a seasonal crop with ecological conditions that are frequently changed. This makes unstable condition between populations of pests and natural enemies (predators, parasitoids and pathogens). Brief observations in the field found that pest infestations on carrot fields were frequently low. Results of several studies indicated that carrot could attract parasitoids of insect pests. The objective of this research was to study the diversity and abundance of arthropods on green onion and carrot grown in monoculture and intercropping. Experiment with four treatments and four replications was set in randomized complete block design. The treatments were: P1) green onion grown in monoculture; P2) green onion sprayed with carrot leaf extract; P3) green onion and carrot grown in intercropping; and P4) carrot grown in monoculture. Observations of arthropods were conducted by setting pitfall traps and yellow sticky traps weekly. Collected arthropods were identified by using Introduction to The Study of Insects, Insects of Australia, and Hymenoptera of The World. Data were analyzed with Shanon- Wienner index, and analysis of variance by using Minitab 17. The result indicated that the culture system of green onion and carrot did not affect diversity of arthropods for the whole season. The arthropod community on green onion and carrot was dominated by Liriomyza spp. (Diptera: Agromyzidae), ants (Hymenoptera : Formicidae), and Collembola.

Judul: : Persamaan Tunggal sebagai Representasi Kurva Komposit
Abstrak: A mathematical method is introduced to represent a composite curve based on an extension of analytic geometry. The representation is given either with a single equation or with two equations, in the case of parametric representation. This method permits the representation of composite curves in similar manner to the conventional representation of non-composite curves. Some mathematical tools, including Heaviside unit step function and periodizer function, are used in the establishment of a single equation. In this paper, regular equations of regular and irregular polygon, as well as composite curves of two dimensions, are implemented using a computer algebraic system, Mathematica.
