Allocative Efficiency Analysis of Katokkon Chili Production in Tana Toraja and North Toraja Districts

This study aims to measure the allocative efficiency of inputs or production factors in katokkon chili farming with climate-friendly organic farming. This research was conducted in five villages spread across two districts, Tana Toraja and North Toraja, South Sulawesi. This study involved 100 respondents from each village with a census sampling method. The methods used in this study are Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier and allocative efficiency analysis (AEA). The results showed that of the six variables contained in the Cobb-Douglas equation, Land Area (X1), Labor (X2), Compost (X3), Liquid Organic Fertilizer (X4), Vegetable Pesticides (X5), and Farm Capital (X6), only the allocation of farm capital (X6) did not have a significant effect on the production of katokkon chili (Y) in Tana Toraja and North Toraja. Furthermore, the five variables that had a significant effect on the production of katokkon chili were again tested in allocative efficiency analysis, with results showing that the allocative use of Compost, liquid organic fertilizer, and vegetable pesticides was considered efficient or by the usage procedure with the value of NPM / Px = 1. In comparison, the other variables, land area and labor, were allocative, not optimal NPM / Px >1. Hence, increasing land by an average of 72.69 m2 and a workforce of 39.95 HOK was necessary to achieve allocative efficiency.

Toxicity Test of Shallot Skin Extract (Allium ascalonicum) on Mortality of Leaf Roller Caterpillar (Spoladea recurvalis)

Pests are creatures that destroy crops and, in general, hurt farmers financially. The leaf roller caterpillar is one of the pests that can result in crop loss in horticultural crops, particularly spinach. Vegetable pesticides, including shallot skin extract, can effectively and sustainably control the pest leaf roller caterpillars. This study sought to ascertain the impact of shallot skin extract on leaf roller caterpillar mortality after 48 hours of treatment. The experimental study design with a completely randomized design (CRD), 7 treatments, 4 replications, and a total of 28 treatments was employed. P0 (negative control), P1 (10,000 ppm), P2 (20,000 ppm), P3 (30,000 ppm), P4 (40,000 ppm), P5 (50,000 ppm), and P6 (500 ppm decis/positive control) were the treatments employed. 280 leaf roller caterpillars served as the test subjects. The study's findings after 48 hours of observation under the P5 treatment indicated that shallot skin extract had a fatality rate of 100%, killing 40 test animals. The study's finding is that shallot skin extract significantly affects how many leaf roller caterpillars die.

Application of Dispersive Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) Based on Carbon S for the Determination of Multiple Residues of Diamine Pesticides in Vegetables

Diamide insecticides represent a class of highly efficient compounds that have been widely employed in plant protection in recent years. The potential risk of exceeding residue limits in agricultural products should not be disregarded but the molecular structure of diamides dictates that the currently widely used QuEChERS cannot be extended to the analysis of their residues in food. The aim of this work is to develop a multi-residue method for diamides in vegetables using an alternative to traditional plant pigment removers. A modified QuEChERS based on the recently reported pigment remover Carbon S was established, and a multi-residue method for the determination of six diamide insecticides (flubendiamide, chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, tetrachlorantraniliprole, cyclaniliprole, and broflanilide) in melons and leafy vegetables using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector (UPLC-PDA) was developed. The evaluation of this methodology showed the recoveries of the diamides in the vegetable matrices ranged from 80 to 107%, with intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) of less than 10%. The limits of quantification (LOQs) for these insecticides in vegetables were from 0.034 to 0.051 mg/kg. The modified QuEChERS employing carbon S exhibits environmental friendliness, high efficiency, and good reproducibility. The optimized methodology demonstrates accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability. Carbon S was used as a plant pigments remover, extending the application of QuEChERS to the determination of diamide residues in vegetables.

Pesticide exposure an unforseen trigger for atrial fibrillation

Abstract Background/Introduction Over the last few decades, the use of pesticides for improving crop yield has continued to soar. Recent evidence shows the residuals of pesticides in many fruits and vegetables in the local supermarket. Although acute exposure to pesticides has been related to various severe illness, including cardiovascular dysfunction, chronic pesticide exposure has been poorly studied. Herein we study the cardiotoxic effect of commonly used pesticides to the most common cardiac arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF). Purpose Whether exposure to commonly-used pesticides triggers AF if so, explore the underlying molecular mechanism. Methods Ten commonly used pesticides in the Netherlands, including glyphosate, MCPA and boscalid, were used to study cardiotoxicity using experimental Drosophila and rat model systems for AF. Drosophila were exposed to three varying pesticide concentrations, ranging from reported environment concentrations, LD50 and high dose, followed by survival and heart wall measurements (heart rate (HR) and arrhythmicity index). In addition, rats were exposed to four pesticides, paraquat, glyphosate, round-up and MCPA for 16 months followed by AF detection (ECG) and Westernblot and metabolomic analyses of the atrial tissue samples. Results A dose dependant survival curve was observed of Drosophila fed with pesticides compared to controls. In prepupae a significant reduction in HR and increase in arrhythmicity index was found for all? utilized pesticides. Furthermore, a significant increase in AF and atrial arrhythmic episodes was observed in rats treated with pesticides (15-70%) compared to non-treated control rats (0%). Metabolomic analyses in rats revealed a significant increase in mitochondrial supercomplexes and 6-phosphoglyconlactate levels in pesticide treated rats compared to controls, suggesting a role for mitochondrial and energy dysfunction to underlie pesticide-induced AF. Conclusion(s) This study provides evidence that chronic exposure to commonly-used pesticides in the Netherlands affects longevity, heart wall function in Drosophila and triggers atrial arrhythmia and AF in rats. Likely, the pesticides impair mitochondrial function and energy metabolism.

Farmer Awareness of Using Pesticides in Vegetables and Effects on Human Health

Nowadays pesticides are perceived essential for agriculture and are used extensively throughout the world. It is used for repelling, destroying or controlling pests. The objective of the study was to analyze the farmer awareness in pesticide use and its effects on health in Panchakhal Municipality. Descriptive study design and quantitative data were used. Non-probability purposive sampling method was used to select respondents. 38 farmers were selected as respondents during seven days. Interview schedule were used to collect data. The finding of the study showed that around seventy five percent male were involved to spray pesticides in commercialize vegetables. Among them, most of were young. More than fifty percent farmers were educated but they had no knowledge about proper handling of pesticides. Almost people were involved in agriculture sectors in the study area. Almost farmers used chemical pesticides in their vegetables farms to kill pests in order to increase production. Most pesticides purchasing places were agro-vet and nearby shop. Nobody took advice from agriculture office or JTA. Most of farmers had harvested vegetables just next day after spraying pesticide. Around ninety percent farmer had not taken any types of training for safe handling of pesticides as well as didn’t use personal protective equipment (PPE) properly. Farmers, who had taken basic training, almost had no health hazards. Most of them had no knowledge about proper management of empty bottles or packets of pesticides. A few percent farmers gave attention on proper personal hygiene after applying pesticides. Pesticides handling practices were not satisfactory and different health issues were reported.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of refugia plants and botanical pesticides in suppressing the number of thrips on red chili plants. This research was conducted in October 2022-March 2023 in paddy fields, Sukorejo Village, Bangsalsari District, Jember Regency. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatments and 4 repetitions. The variables observed in this study were thrips pest population, pest attack intensity and chili production. The data obtained from the observed variables was then analyzed by ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and to determine the effect between treatments, the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was carried out at 5% level. Based on the results of the research, it was shown that the use of a combination of refugia plants and vegetable pesticides had a very significant effect on the observed variable of red chili fruit production and had a significant effect on the intensity of pest attacks, but showed no significant effect on thrips pest populations. Red chili plants with P3 treatment (marigold and tobacco leaf pesticides) had a significant effect in reducing the intensity of pest attacks and increased red chili fruit production, while chili plants treated with P2 (kenikir and tobacco leaf pesticides) had a significant effect in reducing thrips pest populations.

Use of Fertilizers and Pesticides in Vegetable Growing and their Impact on the Ecosystem in the Comoé River Watershed, Burkina Faso

Background an Aims: The use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers has been practised for centuries to control pests and increase agricultural productivity. However, mismanagement of these products can entail health and environmental risks. This study was initiated to assess the impact of these practices on the CRW ecosystem. The aim of this study is to characterize pesticide and fertilizer use practices in vegetable growing in the Comoé river watershed (CRW).
 Study Design: This study was carried out on a sample of market gardeners chosen randomly. Data collection was done transversally.
 Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in Western Burkina Faso during the dry period of 2020. It concerned market gardeners who carry out their activity in the Comoé Basin.
 Methodology: To this end, a survey was carried out among a representative sample of 204 vegetable growers. The survey sheet was used to collect information on the level of education, speculations, origins of fertilizers and pesticides, and the management of fertilizers and pesticides in the CRW.
 Results: The study revealed that local vegetable growers use both organic and chemical fertilizers. They obtain their supplies from the local market. In fact, 91% of the vegetable growers interviewed use both types of fertilizer. Growers are unaware of the validity period of the products they use. In addition, 48% of growers say they do not know or do not pay attention to the expiry date of products. Furthermore, 82% of growers do not master fertilizer application doses. Current pesticide and fertilizer use practices are risky, and the dangers incurred are pollution, particularly water pollution, and its consequences on human and environmental health (soil, vegetation, etc.). It would therefore be wise to encourage and promote biological pest control in order to preserve human and animal health and the environment.

Synthesis of Greenish-Yellow Fluorescent Copper Nanocluster for the Selective and Sensitive Detection of Fipronil Pesticide in Vegetables and Grain Samples.

In this paper, a new synthetic route is introduced for the synthesis of high-luminescent greenish-yellow fluorescent copper nanoclusters (PVP@A. senna-Cu NCs) using Avaram senna (A. senna) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as templates. A. senna plant extract mainly contains variety of phytochemicals including glycosides, sugars, saponins, phenols, and terpenoids that show good pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic. PVP is a stable and biocompatible polymer that is used as a stabilizing agent for the synthesis of PVP@A. senna-Cu NCs. The size, surface functionality, and element composition of the fabricated Cu NCs were confirmed by various analytical techniques. The as-prepared greenish-yellow fluorescent Cu NCs exhibit significant selectivity towards fipronil, thereby favoring to assay fipronil pesticide with good linearity in the range of 3.0-30μM with a detection limit of 65.19nM. More importantly, PVP@A. senna-Cu NCs are successfully applied to assay fipronil in vegetable and grain samples.

Dithiocarbamates: Properties, Methodological Approaches and Challenges to Their Control.

Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) are a group of chemicals used primarily as fungicides, although they are exploited for various other applications. DTCs represent one of the oldest classes of broad-spectrum fungicides employed worldwide to control fungal diseases on many crops. Due to their ease of synthesis, low production costs (cheap and readily available starting materials) and a fungicidal activity with a multi-site mode of action, they are still among modern agriculture's most extensively used pesticides. Although the environmental degradation in air, water, and soil is relatively rapid due to photolysis and/or hydrolysis, they are among the most frequently detected pesticides in the European Union (EU), also with a high frequency of maximum residue level (MRL) exceedances. The current review aims to comprehensively survey all aspects of DTCs, including the environmental fate, toxicity and analytical methods for determining parental compounds and degradation products in environmental and food samples. Furthermore, the accumulation of carbamate and dithiocarbamate pesticides in vegetables, fruits, bioindicator organisms and human biological samples, as well as their health effects on humans, are also considered in this study.

Efektivitas Ekstrak Buah Bintaro (Cerbera manghas L.) dan Limbah Kulit Pisang sebagai Pestisida Nabati dan Pengkilap Aglaonema

Aglaonema plants (Aglaonema spp.) are popular ornamental plants that are famous for the beauty and diversity of their leaves. However, pest attacks can disrupt the growth and beauty of this plant. An alternative to controlling pests is to use vegetable pesticides. This research aims to test the effectiveness of organic pesticides derived from bintaro fruit extract and the effect of using banana peels as a leaf polish on Aglaonema plants. Bintaro is a potential source of botanical pesticides because it contains compounds that inhibit insect feeding. On the other hand, banana peels, which are often overlooked, actually have the ability to naturally enrich the leaves because of their nutritional content. This research used a randomized block design (RAK) with six different treatments, including a control without treatment and chemical pesticide treatment as a comparison. The results of the study showed that bintaro fruit extract had no real effect on aglaonema pest attacks, P4 treatment had a real effect, with the highest number of respondents, but P3 treatment tended to give a duller leaf shine. These results show that the use of the botanical pesticide Bintaro fruit extract did not have a significant effect in killing Aglonema pests, but P2 and P3 treatments had a better effect than other treatments in dealing with pests and P4 treatment was the best in shining Aglonema leaves.

Edukasi Tentang Identifikasi Dan Pengendalian Hama Dan Penyakit Tanaman Kelapa Sawit Menggunakan Pestisida Nabati Di Desa Bangun Sari, Kecamatan Kampar Kiri Hilir, Kabupaten Kampar, Riau

Bangun Sari Village is a village in Kampar Kiri Hilir District. Judging from its geographical location, Bangun Sari Village has great potential for development as an oil palm plantation business. Behind its potential, there are disturbances that can reduce oil palm productivity, namely plant pest organisms. One of the caterpillars that eat oil palm leaves is the fire caterpillar (setora nitens). Fire caterpillar attacks are generally treated by using synthetic chemical pesticides. However, the use of synthetic chemical pesticides can have negative effects. The best solution to overcome this is to use vegetable pesticides. Many plants can be used as raw materials for vegetable pesticides, such as babadotan plants, lemongrass leaves, neem leaves and others. Based on surveys and interview results, the PKM team received information that the community had no knowledge of identifying and controlling plant pests and diseases. Therefore, pest and disease control must be right on target and carried out with good and correct procedures. Control measures are expected to increase palm oil production and productivity.

Potential of tuba plant root (Derris elliptica) as a vegetable pesticide ingredient: A review

Tuba plant is a species of Derris that can be found in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunai, Thailand and the Philippines. This plant contains the toxic substance rotenone and is used by the community as a poison to catch fish. The toxicity of rotenone to fish varies between species. Therefore, there is a significant risk of non-target fish species being poisoned when rotenone is used. In addition to poisoning fish, this substance can be used to kill corn cob borers, kill cat lice, eradicate rice snails, and control caterpillar populations. The results of the review of rotenone contained in tuba plants from several studies show that the use of rotenone is effective for eradicating pests, including in Fisheries Management can eradicate unwanted pests and predatory fish, exterminating corn cob borers can control cob borers (Helicoverpa armigeran Hubner) with an initial death time of 26, 50 hours, LT50 67.50 hours and total larval mortality 87.5%, Cat lice repellent can kill cat lice (Siphonaptera), exterminate paddy snails by giving 75% and 100% tuba root extract concentration, and control the population of caterpillars by giving 50% rotenone extract. It can therefore be concluded that that tuba root extract (Derris elliptica) can be used as a vegetable pesticide because it is proven to be effective in eradicating fisheries management pests, borers on corn cobs, lice pests in cats, rice snails in rice plants, and caterpillar pests in fruit plants.

The experimental data were examined using ANOVA; if the findings indicated a significant influence, a 5% stage LSD similarly check was carried out, along with the determination of LT50 using probit analysis. Mortality, physical changes, and LT50 are the key factors. The results showed that the majapahit fruit's natural insecticides had a significant impact on the death of the coconut plant's ureth pest, with the LT50 value at a concentration of 70% majapahit fruit extract reaching its lowest point in 178 hours.

Metal-organic frameworks modified melamine foam in pipette-tip for rapid solid-phase extraction of organophosphorus pesticides in fruits and vegetables.

In this work, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) including Fe-MIL-101 and Ti-MIL-125 were prepared and fixed on the melamine foam (MF) by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to prepare MF/PVDF/MOFs, which was used as adsorbents in pipette-tip solid-phase extraction (PT-SPE) for rapid extraction of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). Then, a gas chromatograph-flame thermionic detector (GC-FTD) was used for simultaneous analysis of Dimethoate (DMT), Iprobenfos (IBF), Parathion-methyl (PAM), and Chlorpyrifos (CPF). The morphology, crystal structure, and functional groups of MF/PVDF/MOFs were characterized, indicating that Ti-MIL-125 and Fe-MIL-101 were successfully synthesized and distributed on MF. The Fe-MIL-101 and Ti-MIL-125 showed good extraction ability for OPPs, which was mainly due to the π-π interaction and the multiple porous structures. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LODs) of four OPPs was 0.03-0.14μg L-1 and the RSDs were less than 9.9%. The developed PT-SPE method showed a short extraction time (<3min). The recoveries in fruits and vegetables (Celery, cabbages, and oranges) ranged from 75.3%-118.8% (RSDs<9.6%). The prepared MF/PVDF/MOFs demonstrated the efficient extraction performance of OPPs, contributing to the rapid pretreatment of OPPs from food and the environment.
