Okra or Lady’s finger, botanically known as Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, is a tropical and sub-tropical indigenous vegetable crop commonly grown for its fibrous, slimy, and nutritious fruits and consumed by all classes of population. It has also several medicinal and economic values. Despite its many uses and potential value, its importance is under estimated, under-utilized, and considered a minor crop and little attention was paid to its improvement. The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different planting densities and mulching materials on the growth and yield of okra grown in slightly sloping area in the marginal uplands in Sta. Rita, Samar, Philippines. A split-plot experiment was set up with planting density as main plot and the different mulching materials as the sub-plot which were: unmulched or bare soil, rice straw, rice hull, hagonoy and plastic mulch. Planting density did not significantly affect the growth and yield of okra. Regardless ofthe mulching materials used, mulched plants were taller and yielded higher compared to unmulched plants. Moreover, the use of plastic mulch resulted to the highest total fruit yield. The results indicate the potential of mulching in increasing yield and thus profitability of okra production under marginal upland conditions.

Temephos 1% atau lebih dikenal dengan abate dulu efektif untuk penanganan larva nyamuk, khususnya larva Aedes aegypti yang merupakan vektor utama dari demam berdarah. Akan tetapi penggunaan yang terus menerus dan tidak terkontrol dapat menyebabkan terjadinya resistensi temephos. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari larvasida alami yang dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif atau pengganti temephos, salah satunya adalah buah okra. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental, dengan lima kali pengulangan dan konsentrasi masing-masing 1%,2%,4%,8%, dan 16%, kontrol negatif, dan temephos 1% sebagai kontrol positif, dan dilakukan pengamatan selama 24 jam untuk melihat jumlah kematian larva. Hasil percobaan serbuk buah okra dengan berbagai konsentrasi terhadap larva instar III Aedes aegypti menunjukkan hasil nilai LC50 sebesar 4,143% dan LC90 sebesar 12,778%. Serbuk buah okra dapat bertindak sebagai racun dan bersifat sebagai racun kontak bagi larva Aedes aegypti. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa dosis efektif serbuk buah okra untuk mematikan larva Aedes aegypti adalah 12,778 %. Kata kunci: Aedes aegypty, temephos 1%, larvasida, serbuk buah okra

Metal oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the biological method represent the most recent research in nanotechnology. This study reports the rapid and ecofriendly approach for the synthesis of CeO2 nanoparticles mediated using the Abelmoschus esculentus extract. The medicinal plant extract acts as both a reducing and stabilizing agent. The characterization of CeO2 NPs was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The in vitro cytotoxicity of green synthesized CeO2 was assessed against cervical cancerous cells (HeLa). The exposure of CeO2 to HeLa cells at 10–125 µg/mL caused a loss in cellular viability against cervical cancerous cells in a dose-dependent manner. The antibacterial activity of the CeO2 was assessed against S. aureus and K. pneumonia. A significant improvement in wound-healing progression was observed when cerium oxide nanoparticles were incorporated into the chitosan hydrogel membrane as a wound dressing.
