Soil Nutrition Management and Predation by Cheilomenes Sexmaculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Impacts on Aphis Glycines (Homoptera: Aphididae)

Soil nutrition management and predation by Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) impacts on Aphis glycines (Homoptera: Aphididae). Understanding how soil nutrient availability and natural enemies impacts on aphid populations are important for soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Homoptera: Aphididae), management. Studies were conducted to examine the effect of soil nutrient management and predaceous coccinellid beetle, Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabr.), (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on A. glycines population. The plot size of 300 m2 was set up into 12 plots consisting four treatments and three replications. The treatments were the combination of NPK (urea 100 kg ha-1 + SP-36 200 kg ha-1 + KCl 200 kg ha-1) levels, dolomite (4 ton ha-1), compost (10 ton ha-1), and chicken manure (10 ton ha-1). While, the predator's potential of C. sexmaculata was measured both in the field and laboratory conditions. The results of the studies indicated that soil nutrition treatments had significant effects on the plant performances: leaf numbers; pod numbers; and plant height. In line with this result, there were significant effects of soil nutrient treatments on the amount of plant nutrient: C, N, P, K, C, Ca, and Mg. The positive correlation coefficient was observed between the aphid population and nitrogen content, while the significant negative correlation found on between aphid population and the calcium and magnesium content. Meanwhile, the mean number of soybean aphids (A. glycines) consumed by C. sexmaculata increased from 8.915 to 40.64 aphids, with an average 26.35 ± 3.16 aphids. The mean numbers of aphids consumed by predator were significantly influenced by prey densities. The exclosure study result showed that the densities of A. glycines in caged plants was higher than that in un-caged plants. In the no-cage treatments, natural enemies had complete access to soybean aphids and caused the total reduction (100%) of A. glycines density by the 8th wk sample period. These findings suggest that reducing the amount of synthetic chemical fertilizer NPK can be supplemented with natural organic materials such as composts and chicken manure and natural occurring predator, C. sexmaculata, is an important natural enemy of the soybean aphid

Nutrition management for children with diarrhea

Diarrhea in children, especially if it recurs or persistent, can have an impact on the nutritional status of the child and lead to stunting. Apart from that, diarrhea also has an impact on children's cognitive in the future, regardless of their nutritional status

Evaluasi Managemen Nutrisi Pada Balita

Introduction: Complex nutrition is needed to support the growth and development of toddlers. Sufficient preparation must be done by the mother, as long as the toddler enters the process of growth and development so as to provide nutrition that is appropriate for the toddler during a period of growth and development. Nutrition Management for toddlers is very important. This study aims to find a picture of how nutrition management during the growth and development of toddlers, especially those carried out by mothers of toddlers. Method: this research uses a descriptive design with a survey approach. The population of all toddlers in RW 3, Dukuh Mencek, Sukorambi Jember sub-district was 43 mothers of toddlers with a large sample of 30 people. The study was conducted at posyandu in the village of Hamlet checking as many as 5 posyandu, data collection instruments using a questionnaire with a Likert scale. Results: this study was presented with a central tendency analysis in the form of the mean. Nutrition management for toddlers with a good category is 6 with a percentage of 20%, enough categories is 20 with a percentage of 66% while those with a less category are 4 people with a percentage of 14%. Conclusion: research shows that evaluation of nutrition management by toddlers by mothers is very important even though the results are in the quite dominant category. Evaluation of nutrition management in infancy by mothers contributes greatly to the toddler's growth and development stage. Increased knowledge in mothers of children under five and the application of nutrition management in Cathelya's community must be further promoted by health workers and cadres in charge. Pendahuluan: Nutrisi kompleks dibutuhkan untuk menunjang pertumbuhan dan perkembangan Balita, oleh karena itu Manajemen Nutrisi bagi balita ini sangatlah penting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran bagaimana manajemen nutrisi pada masa pertumbuhan dan perkembangan Balita khususnya yang dilakukan oleh ibu balita. Metode: penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif dengan pendekatan survey. Populasinya semua balita di RW 3 desa Dukuh Mencek kecamatan Sukorambi Jember sejumlah 43 ibu balita dengan besar sampel 30 orang. Penelitian dilakukan di posyandu yang ada di desa Dukuh mencek sebanyak 5 posyandu, instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dengan skala likert. Hasil: penelitian ini disajikan dengan analisis tendensi sentral dalam bentuk mean. Manajemen nutrisi balita dengan kategori baik sejumlah 6 dengan pesentase 20%, kategori cukup sebanyak 20 dengan persentase 66 % sedangkan yang dengan kategori kurang sejumlah 4 orang persentasenya 14%. Kesimpulan: hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa evaluasi manajemen nutrisi balita oleh ibu sangat penting walaupun hasilnya dalam kategori cukup lebih mendominasi. Evaluasi manajemen nutrisi pada masa balita oleh ibu berkontribusi tinggi pada tahap tumbuh kembang balita. Peningkatan pengetahuan pada ibu balita dan aplikasi manajemen nutrisi diposyandu Cathelya harus lebih disosialisasikan lagi oleh tenaga kesehatan dan kader yang bertugas
