An investigation had been done to Tetragonula (Tetragona) sp nest at Indralaya, South Sumatra to describe the Tetragonula sp nest that use streetlight pole as nest medium during April - May 2019. Purpossive sampling is used to select the target nest. Two streetlight pole found be used by Tetragonula sp as their home. The coordinate of location, heght from ground surface, diameter of streetlight pole, air temperature and humidity, and floral species around nest, were noted. Spot coordinate are S 30 14’ 19.2498’’ and E 1040 39’ 15,3288’’ ; 1,5 m above the ground surface, 12 cm diameter pole, highest air temperature was 35 o C at daylight (April and May 2019), 80 – 90 % humidity at April-May 2019; which Switenia macrophyla, Hevea brasiliensis, Zea mays, and Citrullus lanatus floral species are planted around. Air temperature in the pole is very high, around 40 0 C during daylight.

<p><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Penelitian dilaksanakan untuk mempelajari dan mengidentifikasi manajemen penyadapan tanaman karet. Kegiatan magang dilaksanakan di Perkebunan Karet Simalungun, Sumatera Utara pada tanggal 10 Februari hingga 9 Juni 2014. Manajemen penyadapan ditujukan untuk menjaga kontinuitas dan meningkatan produksi karet alam sesuai dengan umur ekonomis tanaman. Persentase populasi tanaman siap sadap rata-rata       per-hanca di PT BSRE pada tahun tanam 2005 dan 2009 adalah 96.82%. Konsumsi kulit sadapan antara penyadap kelas A dan kelas B pada sistem sadap tarik ½ S d/3 dan sadap sorong ¼ S d/3 tidak berbeda nyata dan belum sesuai dengan standar penyadapan perusahaan. Faktor pendidikan dan pengalaman kerja penyadap mempengaruhi produksi cuplump pada sistem sadap tarik ½ S d/3, sedangkan faktor usia tidak mempengaruhi. Faktor pendidikan, usia, dan pengalaman kerja penyadap tidak mempengaruhi produksi cuplump pada sistem sadap sorong ¼ S d/3. Manajemen bidang sadap dan penggunaan zat stimulansia di perkebunan karet ini bersifat spesifik klon. Penyakit kering alur sadap (KAS) klon seri PB nyata lebih tinggi pada tahun tanam 2005 dibandingkan pada tahun tanam 2009, sedangkan penyakit KAS pada klon PB 330 dan DMI 35 tidak berbeda nyata pada tahun tanam sama. </span></em></p>

`Mauritius' lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) trees were planted in root observation chambers in July 1990 to determine the pattern of root and stem extension growth during 12 months. Root and stem lengths were measured at intervals ranging from 7 to 18 days from Aug. 1990 until Aug. 1991. During each period of active canopy growth, up to six stem tips were tagged and measured. Root growth was determined by measuring tracings of the extension of each root in a visible plane of the glass wall of the observation chambers. Stem growth was cyclic, with distinct periods of rapid extension followed by periods with no extension. In contrast, root growth was fairly continuous with only three periods of no visible root extension. Mean absolute extension rates were higher for stems than for roots. There were no consistent relationships between the timing of root and stem extension growth.

AbstractBlue staining on rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) is a common kind of defect. There currently exists much research focused on the prevention and control of blue staining. However, little research has been concentrated on the utilization of blue staining for green dyeing. The research conveyed in this paper primarily used Lasiodiplodia theobromae to dye rubberwood, and used scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) to analyze the commission internationale eclairage (CIE) L*a*b* value of color, the contact angle, the pH value, 24-h water absorption, mass loss ratio, and compressive strength in increments between 5 and 40 days. The results found that the color of rubberwood became darker and more uniform, and that the surface dyed with fungi can reach a super-hydrophobic state. With the increase of time, the pH value of rubberwood changed from acidic to alkaline. Furthermore, hyphae entered the wood mainly through vessels for their large pore diameter, and reduced water absorption. Mass loss ratio increased gradually between 5 and 40 days. The research in this paper concludes that the microorganism was an effective method of wood dyeing, and lays a foundation for further research.
