The potential use of pre-emergent herbicides before rice sowing to inhibit emergence and growth of weedy rice seedlings in the soil remain unknown. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the responses of weedy rice towards selected pre-emergent herbicides under different soil water conditions and to identify the optimal timing for rice seed sowing following the application of pre-emergent herbicide to the soil under glasshouse conditions. The results showed that oxadiazon and pretilachlor at 500 g ai ha-1 exhibited higher reductions in weedy rice density and dry weight compared to those given by pendimethalin. Under saturated soil conditions, oxadiazon demonstrated 79 and 80% reductions whereas pretilachlor gave 50 and 59% reductions in weedy rice density and dry weight, respectively. By contrast, under flooded soil conditions both oxadiazon and pretilachlor resulted in complete inhibition of weedy rice. The study showed that delaying rice seed sowing for at least six days after application of pretilachlor or oxadiazon effectively minimized phytotoxic effects on rice. These findings provide valuable insights on the impact of soil water conditions when applying pretilachlor and oxadiazon for effective weedy rice control in direct-seeded rice systems.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Struktur aromatik yang kompleks, sifat hidrofilik dan kestabilan MB menjadikannya sukar untuk disingkirkan menggunakan proses rawatan air konvensional. Kaedah fotomangkin menggunakan nanozarah TiO2 dan ZnO2 dapat mendegradasikan MB. Namun, kelemahan TiO2 sebagai fotomangkin ialah jurang jalur tenaga yang besar, memerlukan tenaga yang tinggi seperti sinaran ultra, penggabungan semula pasangan lubang elektron yang menyebabkan fotoaktiviti berkurang dan sukar digunakan dalam bentuk serbuk. Dalam kajian ini, nanozarah TiO2 diubah suai dengan argentum, Ag dan dipegunkan ke atas membran poliakrilonitril (PAN) untuk merawat MB. Fotomangkin Ag/TiO2 disintesis melalui kaedah sintesis hijau menggunakan ekstrak daun Beko (Oroxylum indicum) yang berfungsi sebagai agen penurunan dan penstabil. Fotomangkin yang terhasil dipegunkan pada permukaan membran PAN dengan kaedah penyalutan celupan dalam kepekatan larutan yang berbeza (0.2, 0.6 dan 1.0 g/L). Kesan penambahan fotomangkin Ag/TiO2 kepada sifat fizikokimia dan morfologi membran dicirikan. Kecekapan fotodegradasi sampel membran dinilai melalui fotodegradasi MB dalam keadaan optimum di bawah sinaran cahaya tampak. Difraktogram XRD menunjukkan struktur nanozarah TiO2 adalah dalam fasa anatas bersesuaian sebagai fotomangkin. Membran PAN yang dicelup dalam larutan Ag/TiO2 berkepekatan 1.0 g/L menunjukkan peratusan fotodegradasi MB yang paling tinggi sebanyak 74.52% dengan jurang jalur tenaga membran sebanyak 2.19 eV. Dapat disimpulkan bahawa membran PAN disalut Ag/TiO2 merupakan salah satu pendekatan yang berkesan bagi menyingkirkan MB di bawah cahaya tampak.

The research encompassed 191 locations, including 177 single station microtremor measurement points and 14 array microtremor measurement points. Single station microtremor measurements utilized the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method, while array measurements employed the Spatial Autocorrelation (SPAC) method. Ground shear strain values spanning from 32.12 × 10-6 - 96.39 × 10-6. Notably, areas exhibiting heightened values are concentrated in Wonosalam Subdistrict and the Southwest of Karangtengah Subdistrict. The morphology of the bedrock within the study area tends to mirror the sedimentary layer's thickness, reflecting relatively minimal surface height discrepancies at the measurement points. Vulnerability to fissures resulting from excessive groundwater extraction and seismic activity is concentrated on the north side of Wonosalam District, the eastern sector of Demak District, and a small section of Mijen District.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malaysia is the second-largest rice importer in Southeast Asia after Indonesia. However, rice yield is limited by water stress. One alternative for a quicker strategy to mitigate water stress is through a combination of foliar spermine application and efficient rice management practices via image monitoring techniques using drone technology. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects of spermine on rice physiological response and its association with aerial imagery and yield under reproductive during reproductive stage under water stress. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions using a two-factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD), with foliar spermine treatment as the first factor and water stress as the second factor. Physiological parameters showed significantly higher tiller number per pot and photosynthesis rate by 29% and 31%, respectively. Correspondingly, the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) using aerial imagery monitoring showed an increased value in spermine treatments by 2% compared to control. Furthermore, NDVI readings and photosynthetic rate were positively correlated linearly with R2= 0.51. Interestingly, spermine treatments alleviated water stress effects by 40%, 17% and 12% in grain weight per pot, grain number per panicle and percentage filled grain. Biomass partitioning in roots improved by 44% in spermine treatments, even under water stress, due to an efficient translocation of assimilates. In conclusion, spermine foliar application significantly improved growth, grain filling and rice yield production, which was also supported by NDVI values using aerial imagery monitoring.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Eocene Pinghu Formation has become a recent oil and gas exploration target and as the critical hydrocarbon-bearing stratigraphic layer in the basin. However, studies specifically examining the characteristics of hydrocarbon distribution and the controlling factors of reservoirs in the Kongqueting area remain limited. The lack of in-depth hydrocarbon accumulation model research restricts subsequent exploration. In this paper, based on data from drilling, 3D seismic, well test, and geochemical analysis, we found that coal bed-related hydrocarbon source rocks were widely occurred in the Pinghu Formation in the Kongqueting area. The source rocks provide good hydrocarbon supply of near-source and distant-source to reservoir. The river sands were connected laterally and stacked vertically, forming a pattern characterized by ‘lateral succession and vertical superposition’ indicative of good quality of reservoir. During the deposition period of the Pinghu Formation, two large sets of regional cap rock (P3 and P7) were excellent sealing rock. The sand reservoir was interbedded with shale layers, forming a Mille-feuille type of reservoir-seal pair. Faults formed at the early stage of the formation of basin serve as conduits for hydrocarbon migration, governing both the spatial distribution of hydrocarbon-bearing strata and the types of hydrocarbon accumulations. These faults were instrumental in facilitating the formation of extensive oil and gas accumulations. This paper establishes a hydrocarbon accumulation model in the Kongqueting area, characterized as ‘dual hydrocarbon supply from source, upper oil, and lower gas, good reservoir-seal pair, hydrocarbon migration through fault conduit’.","PeriodicalId":21366,"journal":{"name":"Sains Malaysiana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Major cause derives from human activities that produce greenhouse gas emission especially the diffusion of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. One way to address global warming is to increase the absorption potential of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. The best natural method is forest adsorption whereby trees absorb carbon dioxide and store it in the form of biomass through photosynthesis. Therefore, forests are a highly efficient source of carbon sinks. The main objective of this research was to implement a methodology for greenhouse gas reduction and carbon sequestration assessments in forest sector according to Thailand's standards known as the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER). According to climate change, reduction of greenhouse gas process will use methodology of T-VER-METH-FOR-01 Version 2 (Sustainable Forestation)andT-VER-TOOL-FOR/AGR-01 Version 2(Calculation for Carbon Sequestration). The Baseline Sequestration/Emissionand Project Sequestration/ Emission as well as plant diversity assessment in project area as greenhouse gas activity will be used for the calculation. The results of this development of prototype project could be used for concluding content of greenhouse gas from 134.72 ha of the research area and it was shown that Baseline Sequestration was 19,618.95 tCO2e. When calculating Project Sequestration for 10 years, carbon content could be increased by 27,617.95tCO2e calculated to be 800.61tCO2e/yr.
