Glyphosate is one of herbicide active ingredient which is mostly used to control weeds in crops. However, in rain season herbicide effectiveness decreases as it is washed by rain. This research aimed to study effect of rainfall intensity  on the effectiveness of herbicide (Round up 486 SL 2.5 l/ha.) with isopropilamina glyphosate as the active ingredient in controlling specific weeds Ageratum conyzoides, Rottboellia exaltata, and Cyperus rotundus. The experiment was consisted of six treatments and arranged in randomized block design with 8 replications. The treatments were level of rain intensity which were 5 mm/hour, 10 mm/hour, 20 mm/hour, 40 mm/hour, no rain and control (no herbicide no rain). Rainfall intensity was determined by conducting simulation trials prior to the treatments and applied 30 minutes after herbicide applications. The results showed that herbicide effectiveness decreased as the rainfall intensity incresed, even though with longer time the herbicide was still able to control the weeds. The effect of rainfall intensity on herbicide effectiveness was different for different weeds. Up to intensity 40 mm/hour herbicide was capable to control weeds but with level of weeds destruction 20-60%.

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Is one of the most widely cultivated plantation crops in Indonesia. The decrease in productivity of oil palm is caused by presence of weeds around the plant that can be controled. One of the most commonly used controls is the use of the isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide. This research aims to determine the dosage of the Isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide which is oil palm yields. Determining changes in weed composition after application of Isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide in oil palm yields. Determining whether phytotoxicity occurs in oil palm yields after application of the Isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide. This research was conducted in oil palm plantations owned by farmers in Jontor Kenangasari Village, Seputih Surabaya District, Central Lampung Regency and the Weed Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung, Gedong Meneng, Bandar Lampung.  The research was conducted using a randomized block design (RBD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications, namely various doses of isopropylamine glyphosate (360, 600, 480, and 720 g ha-1), manual weeding, and control.  Homogeneity of variance was tested using the Bartlet test, additivity was tested by the Tukey test, and the mean difference was tested by the Least Significant Difference Test (LSD) at the 5% level. The results showed that: (1) The isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide dose of 480-720 g ha-1 is effective in controlling  total weeds, grasses weeds, Brachiaria mutica weeds and Mikania micrantha weeds up to 12 MSA and the herbicide dose of 600-720 g ha-1 is effective in controlling wide leaf weeds, and Cyrtococcum acrescens weeds up to 8 MSA, (2) The isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide 360- 720 g ha-1 causes changes in weed composition  at 4, 8, and 12 MSA, and (3) Application of the isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide 360 - 720 g ha-1 on plant plates did not cause poisoning to oil palm plants.

Development of the population and the increasing demand for health services has led to the increase in the number of hospitals, both government hospital and privet hospitals. The presence of ammonia as a result of protein decomposition can be toxic in the waters. The application of anoxic-oxic biofilter system is an attempt to be able to reduce ammonia levels in hospital wastewater. In the process of anoxic-oxic biofilter, contact occurs between the gravel media and microorganism to form biofilms which can accelerate the degradation of organic matter and the nitrification process. This study aims to obtain the best activated sludge source in reducing ammonia levels of wastewater applied to the anoxic-oxic biofilter system applied. This research was contucted in two stages in which the first stage of active mud nursery was carried out from three sources, namely WWTP Wangaya Hospital Denpasar, WWTP of PTN Hospital Udayana University and WWTP of Bangli Hospital for six days. At this stage a Mixed Liquor Volatile Suspended Solid (MLVSS) value is measured which shows the growth rate of biomass in activated sludge. The second stage is applivation of avtivated sludge and control to the anoxic-oxic biofilter system to reduce ammonia levels in hospital wastewater for five days of processing. This study use a randomized block design with four treatments and three replication. The results showed that the best activated sludge was obtained through nursery from WWTP of Wangaya Denpasar Hospital which was shown by the highest biomass growth (MLVSS Value) of 2433.3 mg/L and the highest reduction in ammonia reached a final level of 0.53 mg/L. The levels of effectiveness of the process of decreasing ammonia levels by 94.70% and has been able to pass the specified quality standard effectiveness percentage (90%) for five days of processing.

ABSTRACT The cultivation of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp] can be an important alternative in succession to maize in areas of degraded pastures due to the use of residue from fertilizers . With this, we aimed to evaluate the productivity of cowpea as a successor culture to undergo corn doses of reactive natural phosphate Arad and combinations with NPK. The experimental design was a randomized block design in a split plot with four replications. The fertilizer was applied in previous cultivation (crop) using four phosphate doses in the form of Arad natural phosphate: 50, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1 of P2O5 and the sub-plots in combination with NPK, NK, NK + liming, and control (no liming and fertilizer). The cowpea yield components were evaluated in this work. The residues of P2O5 from the natural phosphate increased the phosphorus content in the plant and influenced the number of grains per pod. The residual effect of NK+ liming and only NK showed better results for the variables grain yield, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and dry mass of aerial part. The residual effect of NPK showed better results for the mass of 100 grains.
