Abstract

One of the determining factors for water availability for palm oil plants that do not use irrigation systems is rainfall. The availability of water is a major factor that limits the level of production of palm oil plants. The availability of water for oil palm plants in the field is obtained from rainfall data. This research was conducted at PT. Menthobi Makmur Lestari, Lamandau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, from June 2021 to July 2021. This study uses secondary data analysis including data on of fresh fruit bunches (TBS) production components in the form of components of the number of fruit bunchesg, average fruit bunches weight, number of productive principals, seed fruit bunches weight; data on the production of fres TBS; rainfall data; and monthly rainy day data in 2017, 2018 and 2019 in 6 Divisions. The results of the analysis showed that variable rainfall and rainy days had a real effect on the increase in TBS production at the age of 5 years. Correlation results in plants aged 12, 15 and 18 years with a two-way analysis at the test level of 1% showed the variable rainfall and rainy day had a strong, real and unidirectional relationship. The correlation value of rainfall and consecutive rainy days is 0.892; 0,887; and 0.855 with significance value of 0.000.

Abstract

Oryctes rhinoceros or Rhino beetle ( Coleoptera; Scarabidae) is a major pest in oil palm plantations. This pest is very harmful, especially in replanting areas, and young plants cause up to 25 per cent of palm oil-related deaths. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated pest management in suppressing the population and development of O. rhinoceros. The research was conducted at the Oil Palm Plantation, PT. Sumber Indah Perkasa, Penawartama, Tulangbawang Regency, Lampung Provincial for one year. The analysis used is a descriptive analysis involving the collection of data from a variety of control techniques. The results showed that the pest control techniques of O. rhinoceros lightrap, ferotrap, holetrap, nets, larval quotes and chemistry could suppress or decrease pest populations. The control with light traps is very efficient because it obtained the number of captures of imago beetles up to 246,224 in 1 year. The integrated pest control of O. rhinoceros successfully reduced the attack of beetles until it did not reach the economic threshold. It is hoped that implementing integrated O. rhinoceros pest control can be a reference for plantations

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the correlation between the area of oil palm plantations and oil palm production in Indonesia, especially in the Sumatra and Kalimantan regions which are the centers of oil palm plantation distribution. Data collection using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), this study aims to determine the relationship between the increase in land area and oil palm plantation production over the past 10 years. This study uses a quantitative method with a correlative approach. Data analysis was carried out using a bivariate correlation Pearson correlation test to determine the positive relationship between plantation area and oil palm production. The results of the analysis showed a significant positive relationship between the land area variable and oil palm production in both the Sumatra and Kalimantan regions, this is indicated by a positive number and a strong correlation of 0.852 for the Sumatra region and very strong, namely 0.996 for the Kalimantan region. In addition, the results of the interpretation of the correlation by looking at Sig. (2-tailed) also show that between the land area variable and production there is a significant correlation, namely 0.002 for the Sumatra region and a value of 0.000 for the Kalimantan region. Although the correlation between land area and production shows a positive value and has a very strong correlation, there are still other factors such as technology, climate, and management practices that also play a role in influencing palm oil production results.

Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between attitude and leadership in improving the performance of harvest supervisors in oil palm plantations. Harvest supervisors play a strategic role as a link between management and field workers, where their personal attitude and leadership quality directly affect productivity and the quality of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). A quantitative descriptive approach was employed through case studies in several estates in South Sumatra, involving 118 respondents. The attitude variable was measured through indicators such as integrity, commitment, loyalty, innovation, and self-confidence, while the leadership variable included work instructions, task distribution, work evaluation, motivation, and occupational health and safety (OHS). Results show that the average score for attitude was 3.26 and for leadership 3.29 (on a 1–4 scale). Performance distribution indicated 15% of supervisors in category A (76), 65% in category B (56–75), and 20% in category C (55). A positive correlation was found between positive work attitudes and effective leadership, which contributed to higher performance outcomes. Estate E achieved the highest scores (3.93), while Estate C recorded the lowest (3.00–3.06). These findings highlight the need to strengthen innovation, motivation, and OHS practices as priorities in supervisor development programs. The study contributes to human resource management in agribusiness by providing practical recommendations, particularly leadership training based on positive work attitudes, to sustainably improve harvest performance.
