T. mentagrophytes is a type of molds, which is included in dermatophyte group. The disease that it most often causes is dermatophytosis or ringworm. This study was conducted using experimental method and post-test only design, in which the samples were taken with purposive sampling technique. Effectivity assessment of bay leaf and kaffir lime leaf extracts on T. mentagrophytes was conducted using disc diffusion technique, by measuring inhibition zone diameter of fungi on disc papers moistened with bay leaf and kaffir lime leaf extracts and Miconazole as positive control. The results found in this study was analyzed using One-Way ANOVA, followed by Post Hoc. The results showed that there were significant differences between all treatments given with 95% confidence interval. In 12.5% bay leaf group, the effectivity on T. mentagrophytes was higher than 25% kaffir lime leaf extract and both were above Miconazole. The inhibition zone of 12.5% bay leaf extract was 12.5 mm, with similar antifungal effect as 25% kaffir lime leaf extract with 10 mm and Miconazole showed 8.5% inhibition zone on T.

Nowadays, food sanitizer is basically from chemical base. Therefore, this study was to evaluate the toxicity level of S. polyanthum and its stability against different pHs and different temperatures in determining the suitability of leaves extract as natural food sanitizer. Leaves extract was adjusted to pH 3, pH 7, pH 11 conditions and exposed to temperatures at 30°C, 50°C and 80°C for 15 min each. Treated extracts were tested for their antimicrobial properties in term of MICs and MBCs. Toxicity level of S. polyanthum was determined by brine shrimp lethality assay. As a result, antimicrobial activities of S. polyanthum extract was not affected by different pHs and temperatures while toxicity study demonstrated that S.

Leunca (Solanum americanum Mill.): The uses as vegetable in two villages in Upper Citarum Area, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1941-1954. Leunca is known as botanical name as Solanum americanum Mill, Family of Solanaceae. In recent years, academic interest has been increasing. After so long studied as weeds, today leunca has also studied because of its important meaning as crop that has high nutritional and economic value in relation to food resilience of developing countries, as because of its chemical substances with its medicinal properties. Leunca was recorded in colonial period by botanists or agricultural scientists’ report as local vegetable in rural of West Java also in modern time by anthropologist or ecologists who studying rural population. In the recent time in Indonesia, leunca studies almost all have been focused on its pharmacological, agronomic, and economic aspects.

The medicinal plants used by the family are known as TOGA. TOGA is a plant that is useful as traditional medicine and or alternative medicine. This devotion was conducted in Susuk Village, Tiganderket District, Karo District, by involving students and teachers of Primary School 040494. Students are asked to bring the TOGA plant from home and then note the name and benefits of the TOGA by devotion team. All TOGAs brought by students are planted on school grounds and labeled according to their names. Students and teachers can find out the benefits of TOGA planted on school grounds by reading the notes of each plant stored in the school library.

  • The Canopy Structure and Its Impact on Hydrological Performance of Five Local Trees Species Grown in the Purwodadi Botanic Garden
    doi: 10.11594/jtls.07.01.07 THE JOURNAL OF TROPICAL LIFE SCIENCE OPEN ACCESS Freely available online VOL. 7, NO. 1, pp. 40 – 47, January 2017 Submitted September 2016; Revised September 2016; Accepted January 2017 The Canopy Structure and Its Impact on Hydrological Performance of Five Local Trees Species Grown in the Purwodadi Botanic Garden Agung Sri Darmayanti*, Abban Putri Fiqa Purwodadi Botanic Garden, Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Pasuruan, Indonesia ABSTRACT The hydrological performance of individual tree can be estimated by measuring the stem flow, throughfall and rainfall interception. Water distribution through tree canopy is affected by tree architectural model and another tree’s morphology. This research was done in order to predict the most appropriate tree species that is suitable on soil and water conservation. This research was conducted in Purwodadi Botanic Garden during the rainy season on January 2014 to March 2015, in order to examine the interception rate, throughfall and stemflow on some se- lected local plants i.e Syzygium polyanthum, Diospyros blancoi, Schleichera oleosa, Madhuca longifolia, and Ca- narium vulgare. Other observation that support the data, was also measured i.e. Leaf Area Index (LAI), crown depth, leaf size, Diameter of Breast Height (DBH), and height of tree on each species. Results showed that Diospyros blancoi has the highest interception value, which is 53 %, followed by C. vulgare 47.4%, S. oleosa 46.9 %, M. longifolia 38.6%, and S. polyanthum 35.6% respectively. Under the heavy rain, D. blancoi, which has the highest LAI value, also showed the best performance in the rainfall interception value and showed significantly different among others.

Therefore, they must be able to use local potential as a learning source foodstuffs as much as possible. One of the local potentials used as a learning source is inventory implementing an inventory of family foodstuffs. This research aimed to determine the type of foodstuff consumed by the biology college student’s families in the Covid-19 pandemic pandemic and how to integrate it into the biology learning of biodiversity concept. plants Data were collected by observing the foodstuffs of 28 biology college students’s families. Every college student recorded the food consumed by his family for two weeks. The data were foodstuffs name, part of foodstuffs consumed and its benefits. Consumed foodstuffs will be sampled, photographed, and identified up to the family level. Foodstuff for every college student’s family were tabulated into Microsoft Excel and collected into class data and then analyzed descriptively. Results showed there were 2 types of foodstuffs consumed by the biology student’s families namely vegetable and animal foodstuff.

  • Jamun (Syzygium Cumini L.), an Underutilized Fruit Crop of India: an Overview
    Eco. Env. & Cons. 26 (4) : 2020; pp. (1760-1767) Copyright@ EM International ISSN 0971–765X Jamun (Syzygium cumini L.), an Underutilized Fruit crop of India: An Overview Eswarappa G. and Somashekar R.K. Department of Environmental Science, University, Bangalore, Jnanabharathi Campus, Bangalore 560 056, Karnataka, India (Received 12 March, 2020; accepted 17 April, 2020) ABSTRACT Syzygium cumini L.is one of the widely used medicinal plants in the treatment of various diseases particularly on the diabetes. The present review has been primed to compile the existing information on the botany, phytochemical constituents, traditional uses and pharmacological applications of Jamun. The leaves are leathery, oblong- ovate to elliptic, 6 to 12 centimetres long. The panicles are borne mostly from the branchlets below the leaves, often bearing axillary or terminal and are 4 to 6 centimetres long. It is rich in compounds containing anthocyanins and the seeds contain alkaloids, jambosine, antimellin, which halts the diastic conversion of starch into sugar. The extracts from different parts of Jamun showed significant pharmacological actions. The major part of the fruit is water (80.80%), ash (0.70%), protein (0.81%). sugar (12.70%), acidity (0.63% as sulphuric and 0.88% as malic). Nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using the leaf and plant extracts of jamun and also used as a potential candidate for bio-remediation and bio-control. Studies should also be undertaken to understand to which of the phytochemicals are responsible for the observed results and their mechanism of action. More attention should be given in popularising this underutilized fruit tree and its integration in the agro-forestry programmes.
