[EFFICACY OF PAPAYA LEAF EXTRACT IN CONTROLLING COTTON APHID DURING VEGEATIVE GROWTH STAGE OF EGGPLANT].  Cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) can cause serious economic losses in the eggplant production.  The application of synthetic pesticides can be effective in controlling the pest but it may not be the best solution for the human health and environment. Botanical pesticides have long been known for their potential as the alternative to synthetic pesticides for crop protection with reduced risk to human health and environmental hazard. Objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of papaya leaf extract solutions in controlling cotton aphid and their effect on the vegetative growth of eggplant. Papaya leaf extract solutions differing in concentration (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) were sprayed onto aphid infested eggplants to observe the insect mortality, crop damage, and the lethal concentration at LC50 and LC90. The mortality of aphid was significantly increased following the application of papaya leaf extract, with the highest mortality (91.33%) was found on the concentration of 50%. The lethal concentrations of the extract causing 50% (LC50) and 90% (LC90) aphid mortality were   9.98% and 41.99%, respectively. As compared to the control treatment, the crop damage was significantly reduced by the application of the papaya leaf extract solution.

This country has enormous zakat potential, the figure reaching 330 trillion per year. However, the realization is still far from what is expected and does not even reach 5% of the existing potential. Zakat is a financial instrument in Islam that is able to break the chain of poverty and distribute wealth properly. Zakat is able to provide positive significance in economic growth and elevate human dignity. The large population and wide area of Indonesia, apart from being a potential, also have obstacles in collecting zakat, which has been done using conventional methods. For this reason, researchers conducted research on the extent to which digitization of zakat collection through the epayment system has played a role so far. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method with the type of library research and secondary data sources obtained from journals, books, previous research and websites that have good credibility. The results of this study describe a significant increase in zakat funds collected through electronic zakat payments. The e-payment system in collecting zakat has been proven to provide comfort, security, flexibility in time and place, efficiency, and is effective for muzakki in distributing zakat payments.

[RESPONSE OF GROWTH AND YIELD OF FIVE RICE HYBRID GENOTYPE ON THE ORGANIC FERTILIZER OF PALM OIL BUNCHES ON ULTISOL]. Oil Palm Bunches (OPB) are solid waste potential as organic fertilizer to improve soil physical, biological and chemical properties, especially on ultisol soils for rice development. This research was conducted in August - November 2019 in Padang Harapan, Bengkulu City. The materials used were F1 rice seeds, OPB organic fertilizer. The experimental design was a factorial Randomized Completely  Block Design (RCBD) with 2 factors. The first factor was 5 hybrid genotypes (F1), namely, Kuning x Inpago5, Kuning x Inpago9, Kuning x Inpago6, Arang x Inpago8, and Kuning x Salumpikit. The second factor was the dosage of OPB, namely 0 (control), 10 tonnes/ha, 15 tonnes/ha, and 20 tonnes/ha, the experiment was repeated 3 times. The variables observed were plant height, number of productive tillers, flowering age, harvest age, the total number of fill grains, number of filled grains, number of empty grains, 1000 grain weight, and grain weight/hill. The results showed that there was an interaction between genotype and OPB on the number of tillers. The interaction between the Kuning x Salumpikit genotypes and 10 tonnes/ha of organic fertilizer produced the largest number of tillers. Genotype G3(Kuning x Inpago6) produced the best rice growth and yield. In this study, the optimum point for OPB fertilization on growth and yield of the five genotypes tested had not been obtained.

Penggunakan benih lokal yang ditanam secara terus menerus telah menyebabkan produksi rendah. Upaya untuk meningkatkan produktivitas cabai yaitu dengan menggunakan benih hibrida unggul yang memiliki produktivitas yang tinggi, umur panen genjah, memiliki daya tahan terhadap hama dan penyakit, dan buah yang disukai para konsumen serta daya adaptasi lingkungan yang tinggi. Rancangan Percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) pola faktorial, yang terdiri atas 2 faktor. Faktor pertama adalah jenis pupuk terdiri atas 3 jenis yaitu : NPK Mutiara (16:16:16) = 300 kg/ha, Urea+KCl+TSP = 250 kg/ha+500 kg/ha+400 kg/ha, ½ dosis Urea+½ dosis KCl+½ dosis TSP+½ dosis NPK Mutiara (16:16:16) = 125 kg/ha+250 kg/ha+200 kg/ha+150 kg/ha. Faktor kedua adalah Varietas cabai hibrida terdiri atas 3 varietas yaitu : UNIB C H73, UNIB C H65 dan, UNIB C H13. Dari kedua faktor tersebut diperoleh 9 pasang perlakuan, diulang 5 kali sehingga diperoleh 45 satuan percobaan, yang terdiri atas 2 tanaman sehingga didapatkan 90 tanaman.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi pupuk anorganik urea+KCl+TSP menghasilkan jumlah buah total tertinggi pada varietas UNIB C H65. Aplikasi pupuk anorganik Urea+KCl+TSP menghasilkan tinggi tanaman yang lebih tinggi dari aplikasi pupuk anorganik lainnya, dengan umur berbunga yang lebih cepat dibandingakan aplikasi pupuk anorganik lainnya. Aplikasi pupuk anorganik pada varietas UNIB C H73 menghasilkan diameter batang lebih besar, umur panen yang relatif cepat, panjang tangkai buah lebih panjang, panjang buah terpanjang dan bobot buah segar terberat dibandingkan varietas lainnya.

Pineapple plants are usually propagated vegetatively by utilizing the base of the fruit (ratoone), stem buds (sucker), fruit buds (slip) and crown (crown). Propagation of plants by utilizing parts of the plant is less effective in meeting the needs because the planting material produced is small and requires a long time. An alternative to the propagation of pineapple to increase the amount of planting material is by tissue culture techniques. This study aims to obtain the best types of complex organic compounds and the right concentration for the growth of pineapple shoots in vitro. The research was conducted in June 2017 until October 2017 at the Laboratory of Agronomy at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu. Complete randomized design with 3 replications was used to allocate 9 treatments of complex organic compounds. The basic media used are the composition of Murashige and Skoog (MS). Treatment consists of 1) Coconut water 100 ml / l, 2) Coconut water 150 ml / l, 3) Coconut water 200 ml / l, 4) Banana porridge 100 gl / l, 5) Banana pulp 150 g / l, 6) Banana slurry 200 g / l, 7) Bean sprout extract 100 g / l, 8) Bean sprout extract 150 g / l, 9) Bean sprout extract 200 g / l. The results showed that at 16 weeks after MS media planting the addition of 100 g / l banana pulp was able to produce the highest plant height with an average of 3.45 cm. MS media with the addition of 200 ml coconut water resulted in the highest shoot height of 1.5 cm and followed by MS with the addition of 100 g / l media of banana pulp with an average of 0.9 cm. MS media with the addition of 100 ml / l of coconut water is suitable for the growth of pineapple roots with the average value of the number of roots and the highest length of roots. MS media with the addition of bean sprout extract with various concentrations is not able to stimulate shoot growth and has a growth response that tends to be slow. Keywords: Pineapple, In Vitro, Complex Organic Compounds.
