Abstract

One of the organic waste processing technologies is Eco Enzyme. Eco enzyme is a complex solution of light to dark brown color, which has a fresh sour aroma. Organic waste, in the form of fruit peels, unused fruit flesh, and vegetable pieces, is collected in containers/barrels and then mixed with molasses/brown sugar and water with a certain dose. The recommended dose for the ratio of molasses: organic waste: water is 1:3:10. The fermentation results produce environmentally friendly enzymes and other beneficial elements for agriculture. This study aims to determine the nutrient content of P2O5, K2O, and the C/N ratio of eco enzymes derived from various organic materials. This study used a non-factorial, completely randomized design (CRD). This study used 6 treatment combinations consisting of: P1 = Musa paradisiaca L Boobs (1.5 kg) + Tithonia diversifolia Leaves (1.5 kg); P2 = Musa paradisiaca L weevil (1.5 kg) + Terminalia catappa leaves (1.5 kg); P3= Musa paradisiaca L Weevil (1.5 kg) + Spreading Leaf Shoots (1.5 kg); P4= Mimosa pudica Root (1.5 kg) + Tithonia diversifolia Leaf (1.5 kg); P5 = roots of Mimosa pudica daughter (1.5 kg) + Terminalia catappa leaves (1.5 kg); P6 = Roots of Mimosa pudica (1.5 kg) + Shoots of Spreading Leaves (1.5 kg). The results showed that using organic materials significantly affected the K2O content and the C/N ratio of the eco enzyme.

Abstract

Petani kopi arabika di Kecamatan Lintong Nihuta seharusnya sejahtera karena menghasilkan salah satu kopi yang terkenal di Sumatera Utara. Faktanya pendapatan petani kopi arabika rendah. Kejadian pandemi Covid 19 membuat tekanan ekonomi yang lebih berat pada petani kopi arabika. Setiap rumah tangga petani pasti memiliki strategi untuk menghadapi tekanan ekonomi. Rumah tangga petani kopi arabika kemungkinan melakukan diversifikasi mata pencaharian pada masa pandemi Covid 19. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sumber mata pencaharian, mengukur tingkat diversifikasi dan faktor yang mempengaruhi diversifikasi mata pencaharian rumah tangga petani kopi arabika. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mata pencaharian rumah tangga petani kopi arabika bersumber dari kegiatan pertanian, non pertanian, dan luar pertanian. Berdasarkan indeks diversifikasi, kajian kami menemukan diversifikasi mata pencaharian tingkat menengah yang dilakukan oleh rumah tangga petani. Berdasarkan model regresi tobit, rumah tangga petani kopi arabika yang memiliki jumlah anggota keluarga relatif banyak berpotensi meningkatkan diversifikasi mata pencaharian, sedangkan rumah tangga petani yang memiliki pendidikan yang tinggi, pengalaman bertani yang relatif lama, dan jarak ke pasar yang relatif jauh berpotensi menurunkan diversifikasi mata pencaharian.

Abstract

Community Service (PkM) is carried out by the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Methodist Indonesia by providing organic farming counseling and training on the manufacture of eco-enzymes from vegetable, fruit and local plant waste for the community, especially farmers. PkM was held on June 9, 2022 in Lumban Pea Timur Village, Balige District, Toba Regency, North Sumatera Province. The method used is to conduct organic farming counseling as well as training to make eco-enzymes by utilizing waste materials from vegetables, fruits and local plants. This is a solution to the problems and constraints faced by farmers in the form of decreasing soil quality due to the use of inorganic fertilizers. At the time of providing counseling, it was explained that there was a decrease in soil quality due to the application of inorganic fertilizers that had been carried out in the long term. Likewise, the explanation of efforts to fix and improve soil quality through the provision of eco-enzymes. The results of PkM with organic farming counseling are very effective considering that there are still many farming communities who do not understand that it is necessary to improve and maintain soil quality by using eco-enzymes. With the existence of organic farming counseling as well as the manufacture of eco-enzymes, the farming community becomes aware of efforts to improve the soil and what benefits can be obtained by making eco-enzymes. Thus, it is hoped that the Lumban Pea Timur farmer community will always be motivated to improve and maintain soil quality independently by utilizing vegetable, fruit and local plant waste materials.

Abstract

The present paper compares the efficiency of irrigated and rain-fed farming in North Sumatra using a household farm survey for the 2022 growing season. The authors use the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model, mean difference test, and Tobit regression. Empirical results reveal that irrigated farming is more efficient than rain-fed based on CRS and SE assumptions. However, access to irrigation was found to harm rice farming efficiency. Unequal distribution of water, scarcity of water during the growth period, and excess water during the harvest cause a decrease in the efficiency of irrigated farming. The age of the head of household, education, and access to credit was also found to harm technical efficiency. In contrast, the experience variable in participating in farmer groups because it has a positive impact on the efficiency of rice farming. The results provide valuable insights for transforming water management and strengthening the need for investment in irrigation infrastructure as a poverty alleviation mechanism and means to achieve rice farming sustainability in North Sumatra.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the influence of production factors on carrot farming production in the research area to determine the influence of production factors on the income of carrot farmers in the research area, to determine the level of feasibility of carrot farming in the research area; to determine the level of optimization of workforce deployment for carrot farming in the research area. The regional determination was carried out purposively in Sugihen Village, Dolat Rakyat District, Karo Regency. The research sample was set at 30 samples of farmers, where sampling was carried out using Simple Random Sampling. The research results show that simultaneously, land area, labor expenditure, and production facility costs significantly affect carrot farming production, with R2 = 0.936. Partially, land area and production facility costs substantially affect production, but labor does not considerably impact carrot farming production. Simultaneously, land area, labor expenditure, and production facility costs significantly affect carrot farming income with R2 = 0.900. Partially, land area and production facility costs substantially affect income, but labor has no significant effect on carrot farming income. Carrot farming has economic feasibility with an RCR value = 4.41, so carrot farming in the research area is worth pursuing. The optimal level of labor expenditure in carrot farming is -1.97. So that NPMX < 1, the expenditure of labor is not optimal, and to achieve maximum profits, the expenditure of labor in carrot farming must be reduced.

Abstract

Deli Serdang Regency is the foremost rice grower in North Sumatra Province. The disparity in input access between male and female producers is responsible for the low rice output in this region. This study aimed to assess the technical efficiency of rice cultivation among male and female producers and identify the inefficiency sources among rice farmers in Deli Serdang Regency. We employ a stochastic frontier methodology to assess the technical efficiency of rice cultivation and utilize a statistical difference test to evaluate efficiency disparities between the two cohorts of rice growers. Primary data was gathered from 400 farmers during the 2022 planting season. The study revealed that male rice growers exhibited greater efficiency than their female counterparts. Our findings indicate that male rice producers inadequately utilized labor, fertilizer, land, and pesticides, but female rice producers inadequately utilized labor and fertilizer. Factors contributing to inefficiency also included the frequency of extensions, experience with FBOs, agricultural expertise, and access to irrigation. Given that women dedicate considerable time to domestic responsibilities and child-rearing, local governments may establish extension and training initiatives—such as guidance on fertilizer application, pest management, and agricultural record-keeping—alongside health programs routinely administered at integrated service posts (Posyandu) and family welfare programs (PKK). Extension services are essential to enhance the knowledge and abilities of women rice farmers, hence improving technical efficiency, household welfare, and the sustainability of rice growing in Deli Serdang Regency.

Abstract

Modern management of smallholder oil palm plantations is very much needed to enable smallholder oil palm plantations to follow the progress of management of large oil palm plantations, both state-owned and privately owned. This study aims to determine how production factors influence production and to determine the technical efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations. The location of the study was determined purposively based on the consideration of the existence of smallholder oil palm plantations in the area. The sample was determined by quota sampling of 150 samples from two villages, namely Buntu Bayu Village and Buntu Turunan Village, each with 75 samples. The analysis involves applying the Multiple Non-Linear Regression Test (Rank Test) alongside Data Envelopment Analysis, focusing on managing smallholder oil palm plantations throughout 2023. The study results show that, partially, the production of smallholder oil palm plantations is significantly positively influenced by each production factor. Conversely, the output of smallholder oil palm plantations is notably affected by various production factors, including land, labor, fertilizer, and pesticides. Most (78.00%) smallholder oil palm plantations are technically inefficient, with an average technical efficiency value of 0.9755. To achieve a technically efficient production process, smallholder plantation farmers must reduce inputs, namely 2.5416% of the land, 4.0501% of labor, 5.5449% of fertilizer, and 3.1165% of pesticides.
