Abstract In Indonesia, integrated oil-palm plantation (OPP) and cattle production systems has been widely practiced in outside Java Island, as an efficient strategy to meet the demand of meat. A dynamic model, called LiGAPS-beef is then needed to simulate the potential and feed-limited production of Bali cattle. This pre-liminary study was aimed to identify and determine the input parameters of Bali cattle production under oil-palm plantation systems for LiGAPS-beef. Literature review and survey on intensive and semi-intensive OPP-cattle integrated systems (I-OPP and SI-OPP), were done, to identify the parameters which define (potential) and limit (actual) the production of Bali cattle. The general parameters were calf crop (%), weaning age (month), culling rate (%year−1), heat increment of feeding; ME content undergrowth plants, grass, legumes, oil palm by products and, concentrates (MJkg−1 DM); potential production of undergrowth plants, grass, legumes, and oil palm by products (kgDMha−1year−1); percentage of carcass (%) and percentage of beef meat (%).The difference between the potential and actual production then will be simulated using LiGAPS- beef to assess the yield gap of Bali cattle production under OPP systems.

The difference in soil layer can affect heterotroph respiration that means CO2 fluxes from microbial decomposition in peatlands. Oil palm plants release root exudates transported to other places, i.e., shrub, by water movement, which can stimulate microbial activity. This study was conducted to learn the effects of differences of the soil layer and distance from the trunk in drainage peatland under oil palm plantation on total bacteria, fungi, cellulolytic bacteria, ligninolytic fungi, and heterotroph fluxes CO2, then compared to a shrub. Heterotroph respiration decreased with soil layer depth, where at the layer 0-20 cm released amount of CO2 as much 6.07 + 1.76, at 20-40 cm was 5.18 + 0.50, and at 40-60 cm 5.27 + 1.20 mg CO2 100 g-1 day-1, and tended higher than in shrub where a layer of 0-20 cm released 5.51 + 1.69, then decrease at 20-40 cm to 4.83 + 1.38, and at 40-60 cm 4.30 + 1.08 mg CO2 100 g-1 day-1. Total bacteria (107 CFU g-1) and fungi (105 CFU g-1) were higher than total cellulolytic bacteria (103 CFU g-1) and ligninolytic fungi (102 CFU g-1) in both under oil palm plantation and shrub. Organic acids affected the abundance of total bacteria and fungi but did not affect cellulolytic bacteria and ligninolytic fungi on both sites, as shown by a lower population and low cellulose and laccase enzymes. These findings showed that heterotroph CO2 flux tended higher in oil palm plantations and lignocellulolytic microbes are not the only source of heterotroph respiration.

AbstractTropical crops are an important source of wealth in many countries. The current agribusiness model is based on the production of a final commodity, leading to the production of organic by-products (biowastes) that in many cases contain bioactive compounds with a potential added value. The exploitation of these by-products is the foundation of the circular economy that leads to the generation of greener bioprocesses for the industry with foreseeable economic improvements in production systems. This review aims to point out the idle opportunities of agricultural production systems and their associated biowastes to contribute to the establishment of a bioeconomy. Hence, the focus lies on five tropical extensive crops: coffee, oil palm, sugar cane, banana, and pineapple. This first part of the review explores agricultural wastes originated from the coffee and oil palm industrial process and is oriented on the potential use of these by-products as a starting material for the alternative obtention of chemicals, otherwise obtained from petrochemistry. The second part of the review focuses on prospective use of lignocellulosic rich biowaste that is derived from the industrialization of sugar cane, banana, and pineapple. A fundamental difference for the use of coffee biomass compared to other crops is the presence of numerous bioactive compounds that are not yet properly utilized, such as antioxidants (i.e., caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid), as well as their possible use in the manufacture of products of interest in the cosmetic (i.e., quinic acid) or pharmaceutical industry (i.e., caffeic acid phenethyl ester). In the case of oil palm, its potential lies in obtaining chemicals such as glycerol and carotenoids, or in the bioenergy production.

AbstractThis research aims to know the intensity of pest attacks the fire (Setothosea asigna) who attacked oil palm plants in Central Districts Tebo Tebo. This research has been carried out in the village of Mangunjayo, the village of Enclosure and the village of Tebo Tengah Sub-district Pandak Gulf County Tebo for 1 month in September 2016. Research carried out using the method of survey in the oil palm plantation folk who have produced (TM) in the village of Mangunjayo, the village of Enclosure and the village of Tebo Tengah Sub-district Pandak Bay District with an area of Tebo area 1 – 2 ha. Sampling plants at each site is divided in 5 plot. Each plot was taken 5 sample plants. The observations in the field can be inferred that the intensity of the attacks the highest api pest found in Palm oil plantation in the village of Tebo Tengah Sub-district Pandak Gulf County Tebo i.e. amounting to 36%. The intensity of the attack the lowest api there is a pest on Palm oil plantation in the village of Tebo Regency Central Sub Enclosure Tebo i.e. by 8%. The difference in intensity of pest attacks also in influence by difference of height, temperature, and humidity.Keywords: intensity of pest attacks and fire AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui intensitas serangan hama ulat api (Setothosea asigna) yang menyerang tanaman kelapa sawit di Kecamatan Tebo Tengah Kabupaten Tebo. Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan di Desa Kandang, Desa Mangunjayo dan Desa Teluk Pandak Kecamatan Tebo Tengah Kabupaten Tebo selama 1 bulan  pada bulan September 2016.

Hasil pengamatan di lapangan dapat disimpulkan bahwa intensitas serangan hama ulat api tertinggi terdapat di Perkebunan Kelapa sawit di Desa Teluk Pandak Kecamatan Tebo Tengah Kabupaten Tebo yaitu sebesar 36%. Intensitas serangan hama ulat api terendah terdapat di Perkebunan Kelapa sawit di Desa Kandang Kecamatan Tebo Tengah Kabupaten Tebo yaitu sebesar 8%. Perbedaan Intensitas serangan hama juga di pengaruhi oleh perbedaan ketinggian tempat, suhu, dan kelembaban.Kata Kunci : intensitas serangan dan  hama ulat api

Growing demand for palm oil is driven by increasing human population, income growth as well as biodiesel stimulation programs. Covering an area of over ten million ha in Indonesia, palm oil production is also one of the most important sources of crop residues while processing generates large amounts of wastewater. Cultivation and processing of this crop are considered as potentially large sources of emissions. Improving environmental impacts of the palm oil production can help to reduce existing emissions while increasing yield and generating surplus energy and farm income. However, area expansion for oil palm plantation is perceived as  closely linked to illegal logging, deforestation and diminishing biodiversity. Apart from ensuring sustainable land use change, the use of residues is the most important criterion in ensuring sustainable palm oil. It is important to note that there are trade-offs (e.g. between maximizing bio energy production, reducing environmental impacts other than greenhouse gases (GHG), and sustaining soil fertility). Nitrogen (N) losses in palm oil production systems are a major environmental and economic issue. Unfortunately,  there is little comprehensive knowledge on how to calculate N-budgets in oil palm plantation in order to optimize fertilization, taking into account N-leaching and N-gaseous emissions. Land use, soil-carbon, N-emissions and biodiversity are key aspects of life cycle assessment (LCA) of palm oil production systems and they pose a number of methodological questions.
