Judul: Keanekaragaman dan kelimpahan artropoda pada pertanaman bawang daun dan wortel yang ditanam secara monokultur dan tumpangsari
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: 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

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Cu2ZnSnS4 sebagai Lapisan Penyerap Cahaya pada Sel Surya Menggunakan Metode Elektrodeposisi
Abstrak: Thin film of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an alternative semiconductor used as light absorber layer on solar cell. CZTS can replace silicon that commonly used as commercial semiconductor. The advantage of using CZTS as absorber layer is due to the abundance of its chemical composer on earth, and its high value of absorption coefficient. The absorber layer was made by using electrodeposition method on ITO glass substrates. The films were deposited at room temperature using potentiostatic mode with a potential of –1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes. After that, the films were annealed at two different temperatures, 180 ºC and 500 °C, for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the polycrystalline thin film obtained fall into kesterite crystal phase. This type of crystal was obtained when the CZTS was annealed at 500 °C in H2S/N2 atmosphere. The value of optical band gap energy for the CZTS thin film was 2.2 eV with the film thickness about 1.228–6.366 μm. The sample of CZTS with electrodeposition time of 45 minutes and annealing temperature of 500 °C showed the best result and in conformity with absorber layers criteria for solar cells.
