Insect larvae, such as black soldier fly larvae (BSFL: Hermetia illucens) are currently being considered an alternative source of protein for poultry and aquaculture industry while in the same time apply agent to manage organic wastes. In order achieve both roles it is necessary develop appropriate farming methodology understand impact different feeding insect production. The study explored effect three local plant based wastes feedstocks growth larvae. Separate trials on horse manure (HM),...

Larval surveillance is the central approach for monitoring dengue vector populations in Indonesia. However, traditional larval indices are ineffective measuring mosquito population dynamics and predicting transmission risk. We conducted a 14-month ovitrap surveillance. Eggs immature mosquitoes were collected on weekly basis from an urban village of Bandung, namely Sekejati. Ovitrap-related indices, positive house index (PHI), (OI), density (ODI), generated correlated with environmental...

Abstract Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a major mosquito-borne viral disease. Studies have reported strong correlation between weather, the abundance of Aedes aegypti, vector DHF virus, and dengue incidence. However, this conclusion has been based on general climate pattern wide regions. In general, however, human population, level infrastructure, land-use change in rural urban areas often produce localized patterns that may influence interaction climate, abundance, Thoroughly...

Bandung Regency has several types of cultivated taro, with the largest production center in Sumedang District. Semir Taro (TS0) is one native commodities this region, and other are from crossbreeding process between Thai Silk Taro, which named Pratama (TS1 & TS2). Although it been widely marketed consumed by public, nutrient content value type taro still unknown. In addition, TS1 TS2 have potential to be developed into products that higher economic if processed optimally. This study...

Propolis and honey produced by stingless bees are regarded as high economic value products due to their bioactive components, which significantly influenced conditions at the cultivation location. This study investigated effect of location on amount quality propolis Tetragonula laeviceps cultivated in Modular Hives. Fifteen bee colonies were for least three months coffee plantations two different locations, namely Cibodas Cileunyi Wetan, Indonesia. The was harvested from hives then evaluated...

Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) are widely cultivated as bioconversion agents. These known to be highly sensitive changes in the external environment, such temperature and relative humidity. Therefore, a rearing hive equipped with an instrumentation system Modular Fly Hive was designed cultivate black larvae. This study aimed determine effects of aeration rate (0 – 0.84 m3/s.) feed type (coconut endosperm waste soybean curd) on growth productivity Hives well digestibility...

In Indonesia, hot pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) is one of the most important spices. Despite fact that high yield cultivars and fertilizers have been applied to increase annual production this spice, local farming always unable maintain constant production. Studies find explanation problem mostly focused on pest attack while possibility low fruit due lack pollination was neglected. study, effect pollinator visitation set quality assessed by application two domesticated honey bees, Asiatic bees...

Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai estimasi pertumbuhan larva lalat Black Soldier (Hermetia illucens) dan penggunaan pakan jerami padi yang difermentasi dengan jamur P.chrysosporium, bertujuan untuk mengetahui komposisi setelah fermentasi, laju larva, nilai ECD WRI. Metode yaitu: difermentasikan menggunakan P.chrysosporium 4% (b/v), hasil fermentasi selanjutnya digunakan sebagai BSF perlakuan pemberian 12,5; 25; 50; 100; 200 (mg/larva/hari). Larva berusia 6 hari, semua mengguanakan ekor...

Abstract Background Bandung, the fourth largest city in Indonesia and capital of West Java province, has been considered a major endemic area dengue, studies show that incidence this could increase spread rapidly. At same time, estimation be inaccurate due to lack reliable surveillance systems. To provide strategic information for dengue control program face limited capacity, study used spatial pattern analysis possible outbreak cases, through Geographic Information System (GIS). further...

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is considered as one of major agricultural commodity Indonesia farming. However, monthly production unstable due to lack pollination services. Common pollinator agent tomatoes bumblebees which unsuitable for tropical climate and the possibility alteration local wild plant interaction with their pollinator. rich bees some species already domesticated years prospect pollinating tomatoes. This research aimed assess efficiency honey bee (Apis cerana L.)...

Insects hold important role in pollination of many crops. However, studies on Indonesia could be considered rare. This study focussed obtaining the basic information wild pollinators and effect Trigona (Tetragonula) laeviceps Smith innundation release to production quality pumpkin (C. maxima) traditional farming system. Observations were carried out from 07:00 15:00 during flowering period for 3 weeks. Sampling area was divided into three plots : open + T. (OPT), (OP), hand (HP). Pollination...

Abstract One Indonesian isolate of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae , named Majalengka strain, was evaluated not only for its virulence but also immune response rice grasshopper Oxya japonica (Orthoptera: Acrididae) as a target organism. Five aqueous suspensions with different conidia concentrations in logarithmic series were prepared. The showed high it caused 100% mortality at low concentration (1.5 × 10 2 conidia/mL). Remarkable changes cellular and humoral responses observed when adult...

AbstrakPenyerbukan oleh serangga liar merupakan salah satu servis ekosistem yang tidak dapat diperoleh sistem pertanian tertutup. Hal tersebut mungkin digantikan lebah didomestikasi, seperti bersengat (Tetragonula laeviceps). Pada penelitian ini, koloni T. laeviceps diuji coba sebagai tumpang sari tomat (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) dan mentimun (Cucumis sativus ditanam pada greenhouse. Kesuksesan penyerbukan diamati 100 tangkai bunga ditempatkan greenhouse, kemudian dibandingkan dengan...

Mauritius raspberry (Rubus rosifolius) is an exotic plant cultivated in Indonesia. Studies showed that the productivity of plants reducing due to a lack pollination agent for their origin region. Several methods could be applied overcome this problem. The study aimed find most effective method pollinating among four regimes: Self-pollination, wild insects, stingless bees (Tetragonula laeviceps), and hand-pollination. observation was conducted on insect pollinators' activities (visitation...
