Abstract. Ikhsan M, Priyambodo S, Nurmansyah A, Hendarjanti H, Sahari B. 2020. Species diversity, abundance and damaged caused by rats in oil palm plantation in West and Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5632-5639. Oil palm is one of the plantation commodities which has an important role in Indonesia’s economy. Indonesia is the largest producer and exporter of oil palm in the world with its export value capable of supplying 55.78% of global consumption. Rats are wild animals that are important pests for human life, both in agriculture plantations and urban areas. Rats can damage crops at various stages of plant growth. This study was aimed to determine the species abundance of rats in oil palm plantations, calculate the severity of crop damage due to rats infestation. Three blocks of mature plants were used in OC and OH plantation blocks were used to calculated, crop damage caused by rats, Identify the species of rats, and estimated rats abundance. The results of these studies showed there were four species of rats found in the oil palm plantation, namely Rattus tiomanicus, R. tanezumi, Rattus sp, and Maxomys hellwaldii. However, only R. tiomanicus and R. tanezumi were dominant species. There were significant differences in the number of, sex, and body weight between R. tiomanicus and R. tanezumi. The OC 12 block had the lowest infestation intensity than the other blocks since it was well maintained. The OH 02 block had the highest infestation intensity, infestation area, and abundance due to a lack of maintenance.
Indonesia is the leading producer and exporter of palm oil worldwide and the world's top supplier of palm oil-based biofuel. Oil palm plantations in the Industrial Era 4.0 are required to increase production and productivity in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner in the face of global competition. Various environmental issues have become a concern on world economic growth. There is a close relationship between the environment with production and the economy. The issue of global warming has become a central issue that poses a threat to the country's economic activities, production, and economic growth. The application of “Good Agricultural Practices” in the palm oil industry is accompanied by environmental policies, both mandatory and voluntary, as an effort towards business sustainability. One of which involves managing human resources in the business process of oil palm plantations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Implementation of the company's environmental policy to preserve nature through employee involvement in innovation and commitment to the environment. This writing aims to understand the framework that explains the relationship between the variables of Green Human Resources Management (GHRM), Green Innovation, Green Commitment and Sustainability Business. This paper presents the theory of Green HRM, especially the behavior of Green Commitment and Green Innovation in an organization. This paper is obtained through library research by analyzing the relationship between variables. Focuses on the relationship between the variables of Green HRM, Green Innovation, Green Commitment and Sustainability Business which is expected to complement literacy of similar research in the future.
Abstract. Mulyana AN, Proyambodo S, Triwidodo H, Hendarjanti H, Sahari B. 2020. An assessment of the reproduction, predation, and nesting behavior of Sulawesi Masked-owl (Tyto rosenbergii) in oil palm plantation: A case study of West and Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5685-5689. The quality and quantity of yield in palm plantations are reduced due to inevitable factors such as pests, diseases, and weeds. Furthermore, owls (Tytonidae) play a role as potential predators to control rats, the major pest. Therefore, this study aims to observe the reproduction patterns, predation, and nesting behavior of Tyto rosenbergii. To achieve this, direct observation and the installation of a camera trap in the nest box was adopted. Furthermore, a predation test was carried out by feeding the owls with rats daily in a cage measuring 4m x 8m x 6m. The results showed that the number of eggs produced ranged from 2 to 6, with an average of 3.85. Also, the Percentage of hatching ranges between 0-100% with an average of 80.77%, and that of chicks that survive to the fully feathered is 51%. In addition, T. rosenbergii was able to prey on 1-4 rats per night, and its activity mostly occurs outside the cage than inside, except when they had a reproductive season.
This study aims to analyze how green intellectual capital (GIC), green organization culture (GOC), and green information technology and system (GIT) impact corporate sustainability (CS) through green competitive advantage (GCA) with green innovation (GI) as an intervening variable. This study used a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) model to test the conceptual model using SmartPLS version 3 on a sample of 220 employees in the palm oil industry of PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk. The result shows that GIC, GOC, and GIT have an effect on GI and GCA, and further, GCA has proven to affect CS. Therefore, the Oil Palm Corporate that can create GI will get GCA and CS. Thus, it will increase the image of the company. Furthermore, applying GIC, GOC, and GIT will improve the application of GI, thereby reducing carbon emissions and the impact of environmental damage due to the company’s business processes. Therefore, companies with GI continuously will improve the quality of green and have GCA. The relevant article also proclaimed comparable research conclusions. GI contributes positively to developing a competitive advantage for the company (Maziriri & Maramura, 2022).
