The use of artificial chemical fertilizers that are very intensive and not in accordance with the availability of soil nutrients, has a negative impact on decreasing agricultural soil fertility and vegetable productivity. The aim of this experiment was to obtain an effective and efficient dose of compound fertilizer (Ca and N) for potato plants in Andisol soil type, Lembang. The experiment was carried out at Margahayu Experimental Field of Indonesian Vegetable Research Institute (IVEGRI) (1250 m asl), from June to November 2021. A randomized block design was used with 8 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments consisted of without N fertilizer, standard N single fertilizer, and 6 doses of compound fertilizer (33% Ca and 17% N). The results showed that, in general, CaN compound fertilizers increase the growth of potato plants. The application of compound fertilizer at 75% of N standard (300 kg/ha of CaN fertilizer) was the most effective dose for fertilizing potato plants on Andisol soil type in Lembang. This dose can save the use of N by 25% with a Relative Agronomic Effectiveness (RAE) value of 140%. This study showed that the use of CaN compound fertilizers at a dose of 300 kg/ha can not only reduce fertilizer input into the soil, but also increase potato yields.

Granola L. is one of potato variety that is very popular in Indonesia and is currently difficult to replace by other varieties. One of the efforts to maintain the genetic purity of the Granola L. variety can be done through biotechnology technique using molecular markers. This research aimed to obtain molecular markers for the Granola L variety. The selection of molecular markers was carried out at the Molecular Biology Laboratory and screenhouse of Indonesian Vegetable Research Institute (IVEGRI) from March to October 2020. The treatments consisted of DNA of Granola L variety from Source Seed Management Unit (UPBS) - IVEGRI, 8 DNA genotypes/germplasm collections which were assumed to be Granola or has a Granola background (Granola BPBK, GM-05, G2, G8, G-771, G-772, GC21, Papita), and 2 DNA genotypes that do not have Granola background (non-Granola) namely Spudi and Amabil varieties. The molecular markers used in this study were 17 SSR primers (Simple Sequence Repeats) from Indonesian Agricultural Genome Center. The results showed that 11 primers were monomorphic and 6 primers were polymorphic. These polymorphic primers still cannot specifically distinguish between Granola L. and non-Granola L. varieties. There is one primer that can distinguish Granola and non-Granola in terms of the band size formed. Further research is needed to find molecular markers that can distinguish Granola L from varieties/genotypes/germplasm collections that are assumed to be Granola L. or having the Granola L. genetic background.

: This study aims to examine the effect of the AMBT strategy on students' reading comprehension skills in Indonesian subjects. This study uses a quantitative method of Quasi Experimental Design which is designed using a non-equivalent control group design. The subjects in this study were fourth grade students, totaling 40 students. Class IV A as the experimental group with a total of 20 students, and class IV B as a control group with a total of 20 students. Collecting data and instruments in this study used tests given before and after being given treatment. Data processing was carried out using a t-test with the help of Microsoft Excel 2016. The results of this study before being given treatment (pretest) showed the average reading comprehension ability of students was 61.62 and after being given treatment using the AMBT strategy, the average value was 80. .95. Based on the statistical results obtained tcount 2.874 and ttable 2.0373. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an effect of the AMBT strategy on students' reading comprehension skills in Indonesian class IV subjects at SDN 2 Banyuresmi.
