Abstract

Given paddy's status as a staple commodity and primary livelihood in Slogoretno Village, frequently experiencing yield reductions due to pest attacks, this community service activity aimed to educate and implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) through the planting of refugia plants. The program involved the socialization of local-based refugia concepts, practical planting of perimeter refuge patterns on paddy demonstration plots, and the initiation of agrotourism. The results showed a significant increase in farmers' and the community's knowledge regarding ecological engineering techniques using flowering plants for paddy pest control. Furthermore, these demonstration plots have the potential to become agrotourism objects, which is expected to enhance local welfare and sustainably boost harvest productivity. The implementation of refugia affirms its effectiveness as an IPM innovation supporting sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Soil compaction is one of the problems faced due to land conversion in agriculture, directly impacting land productivity. This study aimed to identify the distribution of soil density with the Dynamic Penetration Index (DPI) method, the influence of land use, and the determinants of soil compaction, and provide recommendations to control soil density on agricultural land around the sub-watershed area. This research used an exploratory descriptive method, and sample points were determined by purposive sampling. There are 45 sample points determined based on the overlay map of soil type, land use, slope, and rainfall. The low DPI class has an area of 8,227 ha (34.34%), and the very low DPI class has an area of 15,729 ha (65.65%). The highest DPI value was in the plantation land use, and the lowest was in the rice field land use. Plantations experienced soil compaction due to intensive land use without soil quality restoration. The determining factors that affect soil compaction were porosity and bulk density. High porosity means low DPI values and, therefore, low compaction. High bulk density means high DPI value and therefore high compaction. Recommendations for land management include adding organic matter and tillage using a hoe or tractor to optimize soil compaction.

Abstract

Tawangmangu District, Indonesia, is located in a highland area with a cool climate and is predominantly composed of Andisol soil types, offering great potential for the development of potato crops (Solanum tuberosum L.). This study aims to examine soil physical properties suitable for potato cultivation, analyze the distribution of these properties across different slope gradients, and identify appropriate soil management strategies for the Tawangmangu area. The research employed a descriptive-exploratory approach, utilizing land map units (LMUs) that were determined through the overlay of soil type maps, rainfall data, slope gradients, and land use. The overlay resulted in 5 LMUs and 25 sampling points. Observed soil physical parameters included texture, porosity, permeability, consistency, effective soil depth, coarse material, and drainage. The land suitability assessment showed that LMUs 1, 2, and 3 were classified as S3-oa, limited by drainage, while LMUs 4 and 5 were classified as S3-oa,rc, limited by both drainage and effective soil depth. Slope gradient significantly affected moisture content (p = 0.022), bulk density (p = 0.037), particle density (p = 0.048), porosity (p = 0.032), effective soil depth (p = 0.001), and coarse material content (p = 0.032). Recommended land management efforts include the addition of organic matter, manual tillage for shallow soils, and the application of eco-drainage techniques to improve soil physical suitability for potato cultivation in Tawangmangu.
