ABSTRACT (Capital, Times New Roman, Italic, Center, 12 pt)

Abstracts are compiled in English, not exceeding 175-300 words in one paragraph, including a summary along with background, research objectives, results and conclusions. (Spacing 1cm) Keywords: abstract; article; book; chapter; template (keywords maximum 5 words written alphabetically)

INTRODUCTION (Capital, Bolt, Central, Time New Roman, 12 pt)

The first part of a scientific work is the introductory part, like any other part of the document. The first section or chapter of a scientific study is the introductory section, which serves as an introduction and informs the reader about the basic but important elements of the work. In general, the introduction to a scientific work includes the rationale for the research, the topics discussed, and the procedures or strategies used to address challenges. The introduction of a scientific work has several different purposes apart from being an "introduction" for the reader of a scientific work. A section explaining each important aspect of the scientific endeavor is also included in the introduction.

The introduction must contain the background or reasons underlying the research, previous research, unique from previous research (state of the art) or scientific novelty, research problems and research objectives. (Spacing 1.15cm)

METHOD (Capital, Bolt, Central, Time New Roman, 12 pt)

The research method contains research sites, research materials, research implementation, observed variables, research/experiment design and research data analysis. (Spacing 1.15cm)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (Capital, Bolt, Central, Time New Roman, 12 pt)

Research results are findings produced in a study that can be supported by pictures in graphic form (columns/bars), lines (lines) and others. obtained? Why can it happen like the results / research findings? Why does the variable have a trend like that?

It is also necessary to make comparisons with the results or findings of previous studies that have similar topics or themes. The results of the research must answer the formulation of the problem listed in the introduction. (Spacing 1.15cm)

CONCLUSION (Capital, Bolt, Central, Time New Roman, 12 pt)

The conclusion includes the answers/summary of the problem formulation, the research objectives and the research results obtained. At the end of the conclusion can be conveyed things that will be done next from the research or recommendations for further researchers.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (if any)(Capital, Bolt, Central, Time New Roman, 12 pt)

Acknowledgments are especially addressed to research funders or donors. Thanks can also be conveyed to all parties who contributed to the research.

BIBLIOGRAPHY (Capital, Bolt, Central, Time New Roman, 12 pt)

All references or references cited in various parts of the article must be included in the Bibliography. This section must contain references sourced from scientific journals with a minimum amount of 80% of the entire bibliography and the articles published in the last 10 (ten) years. Each article has at least 10 (ten) bibliography of references. Citation and writing a bibliography should use a reference management application program, for example: Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero, or others.

Numerals

Arabic numerals should be used in all cases except the beginning of sentences or when the use would be unclear.

Units

The International System of Units (SI) must be adopted for all numerical data.

Abbreviations

Full stop should not be included in abbreviations, e.g ppm (not p.p.m.). Abbreviations can be used, but define them at first usage, Zat Pengatur Tumbuh (ZPT), except it commonly uses, for example kg for kilogram, L for liter, etc.

Plant Names

Use italics (indicated by underlining) for scientific names of plants and animals. Cultivar names are always enclosed in single quotes unless they are preceded by the abbreviation in formal designation (e.g., Ananas Comosus cv. Pattavia) or the word cultivar, or they appear on the body of the tables, or within figures. Cultivar names are always capitalized.

Tables

Tables should be attached with the manuscript and placed after references section. They should be constructed so as to be intelligible without reference to the text. Every table should be provided with an explanatory caption which follows the table number (e.g. Table 1. Effect of CMC on Physical properties of pineapple). Within the table, each column should carry an appropriate heading, only the first letter of which should be capitalized (e.g. Internode length). Units of measure should always be clearly indicated. Footnotes (indicated by superscripted letters z, w, y) may follow the tables when necessary. Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.

Figures

Figures should be attached with the manuscript and placed after references section. When several figures are to be published as one figure, they should be assembled in the desired arrangement and each of them should be lettered (A, B, C). Bar scales on photographs are preferable to stated magnifications. Figures should be numbered in the sequence in which they are cited in the text. Figures legend should give sufficient information to make the illustration comprehensible without reference to the text (self-explanatory). They must be clear and concise. Figures legends should be grouped together in a separate sheet and inserted in the manuscript after the References section.

Language

Manuscript should be written in English or Bahasa Indonesia. Either American or British is accepted, neither American nor English can be used, but not a mixture of the two. In the final editing, manuscript will be proofread by English editor to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English. Articles which sent in Bahasa Indonesia will be edited and translated with a fee that will be charged to the authors.
