Lake area of 301.84 hectares located at an altitude of about 1,000 meters above sea level is one of three twin lake that forms in a large caldera. Buyan Lake is flanked by two other lakes, namely Lake Tamblingan in the west and Lake Beratan in the east. Depth Buyan alone is estimated at around 80 meters, where the depth of the lake is never reached 140 meters before the bottom of the lake due to the silting of Buyan Lake erosion. Water resource who physically looks have undergone significant environmental stress due to things like the level of the lake by the plant closure especially Eichhornia crassipes plants and other aquatic plants, Chlorophyta class consisting of 4 species, Cyanophyta class consisting of six species, one species. Pyrrophyta class at Buyan Lake has included the category of lightly polluted with saprobic coefficient ranges from 0.594 to 0.777 which is well within the range of ?-mesosaprobic saprobic phase. The results of the analysis of nutritional status (NVC) fish that include tilapia, fish Zebra, and Fish Nilem are as follows: Tilapia value status is nutrient is an average of 1,944 which shows the waters of Buyan Lake is still classified as clean fish Zebra average of 1.828, which means the waters Buyan Lake is still in the net category. Fish Nilem to the average value of nutritional status (NVC) is 1.376 which shows the deep waters contaminated state. At each station showed a different saprobic coefficient, the difference is still in a phase of ?-mesosaprobic.

2018-10-22T22:03:05+00:00

Stone leek leafminer Liriomyza Chinensis is an exotic pest that currently has become a major pest in onion plantings in the island of Bali. This study was conducted to determine the behavior of flight, population development and to analyze the level of attack of stone leek leafminer against five varieties of onion (Bima Brebes, Bauji, Tajuk, Probo and Bali Karet). The results showed that adult L. Chinensis has begun to invade the plant since the appearance of leaves of onion plants to the soil surface. The peak of the invasion occurs when the plant is 3 weeks after planting (WAP). While the most adult flight activity occurs at 08.00-11.00. The development of the adult population has begun to appear since 1 week and peaked at 3 WAP, then decreased to 5 WAP and rose again at 6 WAP then decreased to 8 weeks while the larval population began to monitor 3 WAP and peaked at 5 WAP and then decreased steadily to 8 WAP. The average percentage of stone leek leafminer attack against Bima Brebes varieties (12.91%), Bauji (9.68%), Tajuk (10.09%), Probo (9.96%) and Bali Karet (13.56%). Likewise, the average intensity of stone leek leafminer attack against Bima Brebes varieties (19.79%), Bauji (15.55%), Tajuk (16.80%), Probo (17.10%) and Bali Karet (20.20%). This shows that the five varieties of onion tested were susceptible to stone leek leafminer, but Bauji varieties tended to be more resistant to it.
