Etnomedisin Tetumbuhan Obat Tradisional Suku Serawai di Seluma, Bengkulu

[Ethnomedicinal plants of Serawai Tribe in Seluma, Bengkulu, Indonesia] Knowledge on traditional medicinal plants is generally closely related to the biodiversity, social, and culture of community. This study aims to inventory the diversity of plants that are recognized and used as traditional medicine by Tribe Serawai, and to analyze the local user value index (LUVI) of those medicinal plants. The study was conducted in four villages from four sub-districts in Seluma District, Bengkulu Province. Structured questionnaire and opened-answers questionnaire was applied for interviewing seven key informants and 232 respondents. Collecting and identifying specimen was conducted to confirm scientific name of the plant. The LUVI was calculated based on the score determined by respondents in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Total of 67 species consist of 62 genera and 32 families are recognized and utilized as medicinal plants by people of Tribe Serawai. The part of plant that are mostly used in Serawai’s medicine is leaves. Other parts that used for the medicine are fruits, roots, barks, and seeds. The medicinal plants of Serawai are applied for curative agent and additives material. Most of the traditional medicine of Serawai Tribe are taken by  rubbing, the others are used by oral, dropping and suppository. The LUVI of Serawai’s medicinal plants are range from 0.01% to 0.32%, the highest LUVI was obtained  by a crops plants

KAJIAN KANDUNGAN KLOROFIL DAN PERTUMBUHAN VEGETATIF KACANG BUNCIS (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) DENGAN PEMBERIAN BEBERAPA PUPUK ORGANIK

Kajian kandungan klorofil dan pertumbuhan vegetatif kacang buncis (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) dengan pemberian beberapa pupuk organik telah dilakukan pada bulan Oktober- Desember 2011 di Laboratorium Anatomi dan Fisiologi Tumbuhan Basic Science Universitas Bengkulu, untuk mengetahui pupuk organik yang berpengaruh dalam pembentukkan klorofil dan pertumbuhan kacang buncis yang optimal. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan empat perlakuan masing-masing dengan lima ulangan, dan dianalisis dengan uji Anova pada taraf signifikansi 95%. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa pemberian beberapa pupuk organik menunjukkan berbeda nyata terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman, tetapi tidak berbeda nyata terhadap kandungan klorofil total. Pupuk organik yang baik untuk pertumbuhan optimal tanaman Phaseolus vulgaris L. ialah campuran dari pupuk kandang sapi dan ayam

Pembinaan Sistem Pengelolaan Sampah Terpadu Berbasis 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Kepada Mayarakat Desa Rindu Hati Bengkulu Tengah

Kebersihan merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam suatu desa wisata. Berdasarkan hasil analisa dilapangan, Desa Wisata Rindu Hati belum memiliki tata kelola sampah yang baik. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pengtahuan kepada masyarakat Desa Rindu Hati tentang pengelolaan sampah secara 3R sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan kembali. Kegiatan pengabdian Masyarakat ini terdiri dari 3 tahapan yaitu tahapan persiapan, tahapan pelaksanaan, dan monitoring. Pada tahapan persiapan kegiatan pengabdian diawali dengan melakukan koordinasi dengan kepala desaRindu Hati. Koordinasi dilakukan bertujuan untuk menyampaikan tentang kegiatan yang akan dilaksanakan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada tanggal 31 Agustus 2021 dengan cara ceramah, tanya jawab, dan praktik tentang pengelolaan sampah secara 3R kepada warga desa Rindu Hati. Berdasarkan hasil angket evaluasi pemahaman warga terhadap materi didapatkan hasil peningkatan pemahaman warga tentang pengelolaan sampah secara 3R. Kegiatan ini perlu keberlanjutan dengan melakukan sosialisasi terhadap pengunjung desa Wisata Rindu Hati

Nutrition Levels of Liquid Organic Fertilizer from Onion Skin (Allium cepa. L) with EM-4 Bioactivator

The high production of shallots (Allium cepa. L) causes a large amount of shallot waste in the form of shallot skins, which are organic wastes with a light weight, easily dispersed, disturbing the landscape and polluting the environment as well as being a source of disease. So that it is necessary to process waste into materials that have useful and even economic value, one of which is Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC). The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of macro and micro nutrients in POC with varying concentrations of EM-4 bioactivator. In this study, the manufacture of POC with various concentrations of bioactivator 0, 25, 50, and 100 mL with a fermentation time of 14 days. Then carried out physicochemical observations, namely observing physical and chemical changes ranging from viscosity, color, odor and the presence or absence of gas in the POC made. The resulting POC was then tested for macro-nutrients (N, P, K and C-organic) and micro-nutrients (Fe, Mn, and Cu) using AAS and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. In this study, the best POC of onion peel waste was obtained at a concentration of 100 mL bioactivator with macronutrients N, P, K, C-Organic, each of which was 0.71; 1.45; 0.36 and 4.7%; while the content of micronutrients Fe, Mn, and Cu were 0.037, respectively; 0.0052, and 0.198%. It can be concluded that the levels of macro and micro nutrients have complied with SNI 19-7030-2004 except for C-organic elements which are still far below the standard, and POC made from onion skin has a high phosphorus content, so it is very suitable for use in plants that have high levels of phosphorus. require growth regulators (ZPT), especially for root growth
