An instrument designed to indicate, record, and integrate radiant energy sensed by an Eppley thermopile is described. The output of the thermopile is amplified by a d-c. operational amplifier. The amplified output is connected to a meter or a recorder and totalized by an integrator. The output is calibrated in Ly min−1 and the sensitivity in the three recording modes is better than 0.02 Ly min−1.

Sari. Trichoderma spp merupakan golongan fungi yang bersifat antipatogen, khususnya layu kecambah, sedangkan bokashi merupakan kompos yang diperkaya dengan beberapa mikroba yang bermanfaat bagi pertumbuhan tanaman.Tulisan ini merupakan rangkuman penelitian pot menggunakan kompos Trichoderma spp sebagai pelapis benih terdeteriorasi disertai bokashi kotoran hewan yang dilakukan pada tanah lahan kering dan tanah sawah pada tahun 2014 dan 2017. Percobaan pertama membandingkan efektivitas beberapa agen hayati sebagai pelapis benih pengaruhnya terhadap vigor benih dan hasil tanaman. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan penggunaan kompos Trichoderma hasilnya lebih baik dibandingkan agen hayati lainnya. Hasil percobaan selanjutnya menunjukkan  bahwa pelapisan benih dengan 1 sampai 3 g  kompos Trichoderma spp per 100 butir benih pengaruhnya tidak nyata dibandingkan dengan penggunaan pelapis benih berupa pestisida, baik terhadap vigor  maupun hasil biji per tanaman. Pemberian bokashi sebaliknya secara nyata mampu meningkatkan hasil biji per tanaman . Pemberian bokashi 15 t ha-1menghasilkan biji seberat 19.83 g per tanaman  atau setara dengan 2,379 t ha-1 atau 27,3 % lebih tinggi dari kontrol.Kata kunci : Benih terdeteriorasi, pelapisan benih, Trichoderma, Bokashi Abstract. Trichoderma spp is a group of antipatogenic fungi, especially seedling wilted, while bokashi is a compost enriched with some microbes that are beneficial to plant growth. This paper is a compilation of pot experiment using Trichoderma compost for coating deteriorated seed and accompanied by bokashi on dry land soil and paddy soil in 2014 and 2017 respectively. The first experiment compares the effectiveness of several biological agents as a seed coating of its effect on seed vigor and yield. The results of first experiment showed that the use of 2 g Trichoderma compost 100 seeds-1 was better than other biological agents. However between 1.2 and 3 g of Trichoderma compost per 100 seeds was not significant effect on seed vigor and yield. The results of experiment showed that the coating of seeds with 1 – 3 g of Trichoderma spp compost 100 compared with pesticide seed coatings. Increased of yield only affected bokashi application. Application of bokashi 15 t ha-1 abble to produce 19.83 g seed per plant or equivalent to 2.379 t ha-1 or 27.3% higher than the control.Key words: deteriorated seeds, seed coating, Trichoderma, bokashi

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the effect of plant growth regulators and micro elements to cherelle wilt in cacao plants as well as finding the right business in tackling cherelle wilt in cacao plants. The research was carried out in the garden village folk Eris Eris Minahasa district for 8 months from January to August 2009. Spraying micro-nutrient elements is necessary to reduce cherelle wilt because the various treatments for the first observation is not significantly different, but the observations into two to seven observations to indicate a significant difference between treatments (percentage cherelle wilt on treatment without nutrient elements higher than sprayed). While spraying the treatment factor of plant growth regulators (NAA) is not necessary because the first observation and the two had no significant effect on the percentage of cherelle wilt affected only the third observation and further observations to a fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh again no effect. So is the treatment for fruit length and diameter showed that administration of the micro nutrients necessary for sprayed with micro nutrients result 22.10 cm higher than that is not sprayed is 19.43 cm. As for the diameter of the fruit is affected by plant growth regulators. Treatment is better than 200 ppm 100 ppm and 0 ppm (control).

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di kebun rakyat Desa Eris Kecamatan Eris Kabupaten Minahasa selama 8 bulan sejak Januari – Agustus 2009. Penyemprotan unsur hara mikro perlu dilakukan untuk mengurangi cherelle wilt sebab pada berbagai perlakuan untuk pengamatan pertama tidak berbeda nyata namun pada pengamatan ke dua sampai pengamatan ke tujuh menunjukkan adanya perbedaan nyata antar perlakuan (prosentase cherelle wilt pada perlakuan tanpa unsure hara lebih tinggi dari yang disemprot). Sementara faktor penyemprotan dengan perlakuan zat pengatur tumbuh (NAA) tidak perlu dilakukan sebab pengamatan pertama dan ke dua tidak berpengaruh nyata pada persentase cherelle wilt hanya berpengaruh pada pengamatan ke tiga dan selanjutnya pengamatan ke empat, ke lima, ke enam dan ke tujuh kembali tidak berpengaruh. Begitu juga perlakuan untuk panjang dan diameter buah menunjukkan bahwa pemberian unsur hara mikro perlu dilakukan sebab yang disemprot dengan unsur hara mikro hasilnya 22,10 cm lebih tinggi dari yang tidak disemprot yaitu 19,43 cm. Sementara untuk diameter buah dipengaruhi oleh zat pengatur tumbuh. Perlakuan 200 ppm lebih baik dari 100 ppm dan 0 ppm (kontrol).

SUMMARYField experiments conducted in two localities in two growing seasons on the effect of inoculating haricot bean showed that a local strain of Rhizobium significantly improved nodulation and usually increased the nitrogen content of plants. In three out of four experiments, increases in seed yield were obtained ranging from 20–145 Per cent (significant in two cases). Inoculation was better than 43 kg. N/ha. of combined nitrogen but not better than 86 kg. N. Soil inoculation gave better early nodulation than seed inoculation, but the difference diminished in the later stages of plant growth.

Polystyrene (PS) is one of the major plastics contributing to environmental pollution with its durability and resistance to biodegradation. Recent research has found mealworms ( Tenebrio molitor) and superworms ( Zophobas morio) to be able to utilize PS as a carbon food source and degrade them without toxic effects. In this study, the effects of food additives on plastic consumption augmentation were studied, with small additions of sucrose and bran found to increase PS consumption. To close the plastic carbon cycle, we also evaluated the use of worm frass for dragon fruit cacti ( Hylocereus undatus) growth and found that superworm frass supported rooting and growth better than mealworm frass and control media over a fortnight. Superworms, apart from being known fish and poultry feed, have been shown to be a suitable natural solution to the PS plastic problem that can support plant growth towards a zero-waste sustainable bioremediation cycle.

ABSTRACT: In this study bulbetets of royal lily have been used as explants. The innovative approach is based on optimal placement and adventitious sprout induction and the adventitious sprout proliferation in special conditions. Then effects of different parts of scales and placement method, types and concentrations of cytokinin, different parts of bulbetet scales and placement method on adventitious sprout induction have been discussed. At the end the effects of plant growth regulators on induction and multiplication of bulbetet scales of royal lily have been studied. The results represents that the regeneration ability of outer layer scales of royal lily is better than the middle ones, which was better than the inner ones. The adaxial side of royal lily bulbetets in contact with medium upward can produce more and stronger adventitious sprouts than the adaxial side downward.
