ABSTRACT: A study focusing on different field capacity levels was planned in the Weed Science Lab, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture Faisalabad. Fresh alligatorweed was harvested from the Agronomy fields and cuttings (2 cm length) were made from it. These cuttings were placed at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% field capacity levels in pots for 25 days. The results of the experiments revealed that at all field capacity levels, fragments of alligatorweed were able to sprout and grow. Increased moisture levels significantly increased the emergence ability and survival of the alligatorweed plants upto a certain level. Compared with the control (25% FC), emergence time of the sprouts in the maximum moisture regime (100% of FC) decreased by 40% (12.94 days vs.7.17 days). By contrast, the survival rate of the fragments decreased by 60% (5 vs. 1.75) although survival and growth rate increased at first with 50% FC and 75% FC. Maximum sprouting and growth were found at 50% field capacity. Field capacity does affect the sprouting capacity of alligatorweed fragments but it has only a little influence on growth parameters. The results suggest that alligatorweed can sustain dry conditions to a great extent and also has the ability to sprout and grow in fully submerged soils.

This study aimed to know the dynamic of survival rate and growth of Rhizophora mucronata Lamk which planted by using propagules at Alo Beach, Karakelang Island, Talaud. The study was conducted from June 2013 to April 2017, used a complete randomized design with 6 treatments i.e. K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6. The amount of propagules in every treatment were 100 pieces each. The parameter observed were characteristic of substrat, survival rate,height and diameter of the plant’s in age of 1.5 months and 48 months. The results showed that treatment had a significant effect on survival rate and growth of Rhizophora mucronata plants. The rehabilitation was categorized as success at 1.5 months old, but it was failed inthe 48 months. Beside waves and tides, low substrat nutrition became the main factor that affect the success of mangrove rehabilitation in Alo Beach.The K5 treatment has the highest survival and growth rate of the plant. The K5 treatment using pnematophore as brace, while planting without brace/K1 has lowest survival and growth rate since months old.Keywords: mangroves, rehabilitation, Rhizophora mucronata, Talaud

During the two-month rearing period, the effect of four water temperatures (15°C, 20°C, 25°C and 30°C) on survival rate, number of molts, and growth rate (molt increment and intermolt period) of juvenile Macrobrachium borellii Nobili, 1896 and Palaemonetes argentinus Nobili, 1901 prawns was evaluated in laboratory conditions. The two species showed some similarities in their both survival and growth pattern at different temperatures. The survival rate was highest at 20°C and 25°C, decreasing at the lowest temperature. The number of molts increased at higher temperatures, ranging the intermolt period from 22.2 days to 9.9 days, for M. borellii, and from 20.8 to 9.5 days for P. argentinus, corresponding those values to 15°C and 30°C, respectively. No difference between species was noted in the intermolt period. The size increment by molting increased significantly from 15°C to 25°C, whereas a reduction in the growth of prawns was observed at 30°C. Significant differences among temperatures were found in the slope of regressions between the size increment by molting and the cephalothorax length. M. borellii showed a significantly higher tolerance to elevated temperature and a faster growth (about twice at 25°C) than P. argentinus. These differences could provide M. borellii a competitive advantage for a better adaptation to the dynamic of freshwater environment, especially in areas with anthropogenic impact.

Masalah utama yang umum terjadi pada produksi benih abalon adalah kematian yang tinggi (> 90%) setelah abalon menempel pada plate pemeliharaan. Penggunaan pakan dalam bentuk tepung untuk mengganti diatom sebagai pakan postlarva beberapa spesies ikan, udang, dan abalon sudah dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan jenis pakan dalam bentuk tepung yang sesuai dan efektif untuk mendukung sintasan dan pertumbuhan larva abalon Haliotis squamata. Percobaan terdiri atas lima perlakuan pakan pada pemeliharaan larva abalon yaitu tepung Spirulina sp., Ulva sp., Chaetoceros sp., Gracilaria sp., dan diatom (kontrol). Masing-masing perlakuan terdiri atas empat ulangan. Pakan berupa tepung yang digunakan pada masing-masing perlakuan, terlebih dahulu dicampur merata dengan larutan tepung agar (7,5 mg/mL dalam air laut; suhu 40°C) dengan konsentrasi tepung 40 mg/mL larutan agar. Pemberian pakan dilakukan setiap tiga hari dengan cara menyemprotkan larutan pakan pada permukaan plate pemeliharaan larva. Penelitian dilakukan selama 30 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sintasan larva abalon yang diberi pakan tepung Spirulina sp. paling tinggi dan berbeda nyata (P<0,05) dengan yang diberi diatom, tepung Chaetoceros sp., dan Ulva sp., yaitu masing-masing 81,49%; 79,25%; 76,57%; dan 76,46%; tetapi tidak berbeda nyata dengan yang diberi pakan tepung Gracilaria sp. 81,37% (P>0,05). Laju pertumbuhan harian panjang cangkang larva abalon tertinggi diperoleh pada larva yang diberi pakan tepung Gracilaria sp. (203,81 ± 1,23 µm/hari) dan Spirulina sp. (205,59 ± 1,71 µm/hari). Nilai laju pertumbuhan harian panjang cangkang larva abalon yang paling rendah dijumpai pada larva yang diberi pakan tepung Ulva sp. (146,07 ± 1,73 µm/hari).The most common problem in abalone seed production is the high mortality occurrence (> 90%) after postlarvae settlement to the rearing plates. The use of microparticle diets to replace the natural feed of postlarval has been performed on various species of fish, shrimp, and abalone. This research aims to determine the most effective and suitable powder-based feed to support the survival and growth of abalone Haliotis squamata larvae. The experiments consisted of five feed treatments, i.e., Spirulina sp., Ulva sp., Chaetoceros sp., and Gracilaria sp. Flour, and diatoms (as control). Each treatment had four replicates. The powder-based feed used in each treatment was firstly mixed with a solution of agar powder (7.5 mg/mL sea water, 40°C) with a concentration of 40 mg of flour/mL of agar solution. Feeding was done every three days by spraying the feed solution onto the surface of the larval rearing plate. The study was conducted for 30 days. The results showed that survival rate of abalone larvae fed with Spirulina sp. flour was the highest and significantly different (P<0.05) compared with those given diatoms, Chaetoceros sp. and Ulva sp. flours, which were 81.49%, 79.25%, 76.57%, and 76.46%, respectively, and not significantly different from those fed with Gracilaria sp. 81.37% (P>0.05). The highest daily growth rate of the shell length of abalone larvae was achieved by larvae fed with Gracilaria sp. (203.81 ± 1.23 ¼m/day) and Spirulina sp. flours (205.47 ± 1.71 µm/day). The lowest daily growth rate of shell length was found on abalone larvae fed with Ulva sp. flour (146.07 ± 1.73 µm/day).

The effect of Humisol organic fertiliser (150 g humic acid/l + 20 g/l mineral nutrients) on plant survival and growth of five walnut cultivars grown over a period of two years in the nursery were evaluated. Walnut plants treated with Humisol at the total annual rate of 0.75 ml/plant had a significantly higher survival rate in the first year, greater height and diameter in both years, and a higher percentage of first-class plants at the end of the second year, as compared to untreated control plants. Soil application of Humisol led to better performance of nursery grafted plants, compared to foliar application. Nursery plants receiving 1.5 ml Humisol per year through both soil and foliar application exhibited the best performance in the parameters analysed. In the first year, a decrease in plant growth rate in all treatments was observed in August and September; in the second year, growth rate started to significantly decline in the second half of August. &nbsp; &nbsp;

The current livestock sector is a large contributor to the environmental challenges facing the world. To reduce the environmental impact of food production, a change of the sector is necessary. Entomophagy could be a step towards a more sustainable protein production. However, the insect farming community has a short history compared to conventional livestock, thus, it lacks knowledge of how a profitable mass production of insects is established. In this study we aimed to find the optimal relative humidity (RH) for production of larvae of a popular species for insect farming; the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor. More specifically we tested the effect of a RH of 43, 51, 68, 75 and 84% on the survival rate, mass and length of T. molitor larvae, from hatching and two weeks forward. Control of RH was achieved using the saturated salt solution method, and the temperature was kept at 30 °C. Experiments were carried out over 12 weeks. The sample size was 100 larvae and eight replicates per treatment. Results showed that the RH had no effect on larval survival rate but had a significant effect on individual larvae mass and length after three weeks. Larval mass and length increased with humidity, and larvae reared at a RH of 84% were 1.96 times heavier and 1.31 times longer than larvae raised at 43%. Hence, for an industrial mass producer of T. molitor larvae, applying close to the optimal RH of 84% would likely result in an increased larvae size at harvest and a faster growth rate, ultimately leading to a higher yield.
