Pertanian memiliki definisi yang sangat luas yang meliputi penggunaan sumber daya hayati oleh manusia melalui budidaya tanaman yang produktif dan seumur hidup. Dalam perkembangannya, pertanian yang dimaksud biasanya mencakup kegiatan budidaya tanaman untuk mencapai produksi maksimum, baik itu tanaman semusim, dwi musim maupun tahunan, hortikultura, perkebunan, bahkan sampai pada budidaya dengan kultur jaringan. Untuk mencapai tujuan dari kegiatan pertanian dan agar kegiatan ini terus berkesinambungan, tentunya diperlukan ilmu yang mumpuni dalam menjalankan pertanian. Buku ini menjelaskan kepada pembaca makna dari Ilmu Pertanian pada segala aspek budidaya tanaman. Pada buku ini pula dijelaska...
Buku ini merupakan pengembangan dari hasil penelitian yang mendalam mengenai potensi budidaya tanaman porang (Amorphophallus muelleri) sebagai sumber pangan alternatif yang menjanjikan. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, porang telah memperoleh perhatian luas sebagai komoditas pertanian bernilai tinggi, berkat kandungan glukomanan yang kaya, yang menjadikannya bahan baku untuk berbagai produk pangan, kosmetik, dan farmasi. Diawali dengan penjelasan tentang sejarah dan asal-usul tanaman porang, buku ini mengungkap bagaimana tanaman ini tumbuh liar di hutan tropis Asia Tenggara dan kini bertransformasi menjadi komoditas yang semakin populer. Dengan pendekatan berbasis penelitian, pembaca diajak un...

Rice is the most important cereal grown in tropical countries and sapsucking leafhoppers and planthoppers (Homoptera: Auchenorryncha) reduce yields either by direct feeding or by transmitting virus and virus-like pathogens. Effective rice pest management requires the accurate identification of any pest species and this handbook provides keys to identify over 70 leafhopper and planthopper species recorded in the major rice growing regions. All the major pest species are included, as well as others that are frequently found but not yet considered important. A comprehensive account of all these species with descriptions, diagnoses, distributions and notes on biology is given, as well a key to nymphal stages of common Asian species and details of the separation of different instars. An introduction to the morphology and taxonomic grouping of the Auchenorryncha and four pages of colour plates are also included, and the volume is completed by a comprehensive and wide-ranging bibliography.
The field of insect nutritional ecology has been defined by how insects deal with nutritional and non-nutritional compounds, and how these compounds influence their biology in evolutionary time. In contrast, Insect Bioecology and Nutrition for Integrated Pest Management presents these entomological concepts within the framework of integrated pest m
Each entry details the target weed, control agent, year of first release, country of origin of agent, status and degree of control, research organisation involved, and key references. The catalogue format has been modified slightly from earlier editions to improve ease of use. The book provides an invaluable means of keeping track of the world situation, and is a handy reference for professionals, research workers and students interested in the biological control of weeds.
Sound formulation is a vital aspect of microbial products used to protect plants from pests and diseases and to improve plant performance. Formulation of Microbial Biopesticides is an in-depth treatment of this vitally important subject. Written by experts and carefully edited, this important title brings together a huge wealth of information for the first time within the covers of one book. The book is broadly divided into five sections, covering principles of formulation, organisms with peroral and contact modes of action, organisms with the power of search, and future trends. Each section contains comprehensive chapters written by internationally acknowledged experts in the areas covered;...
This first hands-on guide to ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) makes this powerful tool immediately accessible to both professionals and students. Following a general introduction on the philosophy and purpose of LCA, the reader is taken through all the stages of a complete LCA analysis, with each step exemplified by real-life data from a major LCA project on beverage packaging. Measures as carbon and water footprint, based on the most recent international standards and definitions, are addressed. Written by two pioneers of LCA, this practical volume is targeted at first-time LCA users but equally makes a much-valued reference for more experienced practitioners. From the content: * Goal and Scope Definition * Life Cycle Inventory Analysis * Life Cycle Impact Assessment * Interpretation, Reporting and Critical Review * From LCA to Sustainability Assessment and more.
The oil palm is the world's most valuable oil crop. Its production has increased over the decades, reaching 56 million tons in 2013, and it gives the highest yields per hectare of all oil crops. Remarkably, oil palm has remained profitable through periods of low prices. Demand for palm oil is also expanding, with the edible demand now complemented by added demand from biodiesel producers. The Oil Palm is the definitive reference work on this important crop. This fifth edition features new topics - including the conversion of palm oil to biodiesel, and discussions about the impacts of palm oil production on the environment and effects of climate change alongside comprehensively revised chapters, with updated references throughout. The Oil Palm, Fifth Edition will be useful to researchers, plantation and mill managers who wish to understand the science underlying recommended practices. It is an indispensable reference for agriculture students and all those working in the oil palm industry worldwide.
