This book presents recent advances in the area of Radioscience, Equatorial Atmospheric Science and Environment from the international symposium for equatorial atmosphere of the celebration of the Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR) 20th Anniversary, conducted by Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) and Kyoto University, in 2021. It provides a scientific platform for all participants to discuss ideas and current issues as well as to design solutions in the areas of atmospheric science, environmental science, space science, and related fields.
Pengelolaan pertanian berkelanjutan berorientasi pada peningkatan produktivitas tanaman dengan memperhatikan kelestarian lingkungan. Masalah pencemaran dan perusakan lingkungan hidup telah menjelma menjadi sebuah isu global yang diyakini secara internasional. Hampir 69% tanah pertanian di Indonesia dikategorikan sudah rusak parah (tandus) yang disebabkan penggunaan pupuk kimia dan pestisida yang berlebihan. Kondisi seperti ini menjadi salah satu penyebab Indonesia menjadi sangat rentan terhadap dampak perubahan iklim. Kerusakan lingkungan bisa diatasi dengan pengembangan sistem produksi yang mengutamakan keanekaragaman hayati pertanian dan meniru proses alamiah dalam ekosistem alam. Caranya ...
Pemerintah sejak lama mengembangkan daerah rawa dalam upaya meningkatkan produksi pangan, khususnya beras. Dalam sejarah ekstensifikasi pertanian di Indonesia, lahan rawa tercatat mulai dibuka dan dikembangkan sejak tahun 1920an sebagai areal usaha tani padi, jagung, sayuran, dan buah-buahan dan beberapa tanaman tahunan seperti karet, kakao, jeruk dan lainnya. Secara besar-besaran pemerintah membuka daerah rawa melalui Proyek Pembukaan Persawahan Pasang Surut (P4S) antara tahun 1979-1984 dengan rencana pembukaan 5,25 juta hektar di bawah Departemen Pekerjaan Umum (PU), tetapi terealisasi hanya 17%. Kemudian pembukaan 1 juta hektar melalui Proyek Pembukaan Lahan Gambut (PLG) Sejuta Hektar di ...
The world has made remarkable progress in maintaining adequate food supplies during the past quarter century by introducing yield-increasing technologies such as better genetics, crop protection products, and more efficient use of fertilizers and irrigations. Far more people depend on irrigation in the modern world than during the times of ancient Sumeria. The spread of irrigation has been the key factor in increasing global crop yields. But future scarcity present the single biggest threat to future food production. The shift of water from agriculture to the growing cities and industry almost certainly will impact global food production. This means that dryland agriculture will be increasin...
High surface area, a microporous structure, and a high degree of surface reactivity make activated carbons versatile adsorbents, particularly effective in the adsorption of organic and inorganic pollutants from aqueous solutions. Activated Carbon Adsorption introduces the parameters and mechanisms involved in the activated carbon adsorption
This book addresses in detail multifaceted approaches to boosting nutrient use efficiency (NUE) that are modified by plant interactions with environmental variables and combine physiological, microbial, biotechnological and agronomic aspects. Conveying an in-depth understanding of the topic will spark the development of new cultivars and strains to induce NUE, coupled with best management practices that will immensely benefit agricultural systems, safeguarding their soil, water, and air quality. Written by recognized experts in the field, the book is intended to provide students, scientists and policymakers with essential insights into holistic approaches to NUE, as well as an overview of so...
By the year 2050, the world's population is expected to reach nine billion. To feed and sustain this projected population, world food production must increase by at least 50 percent on much of the same land that we farm today. To meet this staggering challenge, scientists must develop the technology required to achieve an "evergreen" revolution-one
