Abstract

Chaya leaves (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Mill.) I.M. Johnst.) are leafy vegetables that contain many vitamins and minerals. Information about the intensification of chaya cultivation is still rare. Chaya propagated by stem cuttings. The maturity level of stem cuttings and planting media were expected to affect the success of plant propagation. This study aims to determine the maturity level of cuttings material that can grow well and deter-mine the type of media that can support the growth of chaya propagation. This research has been carried out from July to October 2022 in an off-campus experimental outdoor facility located in Inderalaya, South Suma-tra. This study was conducted using a randomized block design with 2 factors. The first factor was the level of maturity of stem cuttings material (upper, middle, and basal), and the second factor was the type of growing medium (control, chicken manure, and cow manure). The results showed that the use of cuttings from the mid-dle and basal has a better percentage of growth ability than the upper cuttings. Chaya plants used basal stem cuttings exhibited slower shoot grow but produced higher number of leaves, greater leaf area, canopy area, and biomass. The use of cow manure in a mixture of growing medium gave the best results on growth of chaya plants.

Abstract

Swiss chard is a leafy vegetable that is high in nutrients, vitamins, minerals, protein, and antioxidants that are beneficial to human health. Swiss chard. Swiss chard is generally cultivated in the Mediterranean climate, grows well in full sunlight, air temperatures 14-21oC, and can still survive at temperatures close to light frost. The aim of this study to evaluate efficient plant densi-ties in urban limited land area and looking at the response of Swiss chard plant to reduc-ing the intensity of sunligt of 45%, 55% and 80%.in urban tropic area. This research was used 4 different artificial shading i.e 0% (control, shade 45%, shade 55% and shade 80%. Microclimate was measured per each shade for 14 days i.e., air temperatur, soil temperature, air humidity, and soil moisture using a data logger meter. Shade with intensity 80% is proven to reduce air temperate and soil temperature, but also inhibits the growth and development of Swiss chard plants. Population 1plant/pot gives the best growth and yield of Swiss chard per plant, 3 plants/pot increased total fresh weight per cultivation area, thereby maximize the use of limited urban land

Abstract

Citrus is a well-known horticultural plant and consumed. Leaf and fruit are important citrus organs as a fruiting plant. This is confirmed by the vitamin, antioxidant, and other chemical content of these organs which are beneficial for the human health. Understanding the model of both organs will facilitate the potential content, functional capacity and plant yield in non-destructive way. The study was aimed to determine morphological model and visual characteristic of leaf, and fruit of citrus. The study was conducted by comparing direct measurement and finding the relationship with selected predictors using several regression types (i.e. linear, linear with zero intercept, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, polynomial with zero intercept and power). The observational sample consisted of 100 leaves and 13 fruits of citrus randomly collected from healthy, normal and productive plants. The results showed that leaf length (LL) × leaf width (LW) was the most reliable predictor using the linear regression with zero intercept (R2= 0.991; y= 0.604x; RMSE= 0.34). Meanwhile, fruit circumference (FC) has been shown cannot be used as a predictor in determining fruit weight as indicated by low reliability. Based on the visual approach, ripe citrus is shown by the yellowish-green color of the peel along with the orange color of the pulp. Furthermore, in the middle of the ripened fruit pulp, there are also white stringy stuff. In conclusion, LL × LW with zero intercept regression is demonstrated the most reliability model for leaf area, while fruit circumference could not represent fruit weight.

Abstract

Land conversion activities have reduced the availability of dry land for vegetable cultivation, therefore optimization of wetlands needs to be done. One of the potential wetlands is riparian wetlands. This study aims to determine the morphological, anatomical and physiological effects of shallow water table stress and waterloging on beans in riparian wetlands. The research was conducted from October 2017 to January 2018 in experimental ponds located in the Demang Lebar Daun Village, Palembang and at the Postgraduate Integrated Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, Palembang. The study used a randomized block design (RBD) with control treatment (not soaked), M-13 (Water table at 13 cm below the soil surface), M-8 (Water table at8 cm below the soil surface), M-3 (Water table at 3 cm below the soil surface) and WL+2 (waterloging at 2 cm above ground level). Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The results showed that water table at 3 cm below the soil surface and waterloging increased proline content but decreased chlorophyll content, relative leaf expansion rate (RLER), specific leaf fresh weight (SLFW), and specific leaf water content (SLWC). Root tissue was formed one day after the treatment. Beans treatedwith water table at 3 cm below the soil surface and waterlogingwere only able to survive for 6 days. Beans are the adaptive plant to water table of more than 3 cm under the soil surface and has prospects for development in riparian wetland.

Abstract

One of the rice policies was the government purchase price policy which was the price in grain or rice purchases by the Government at producer level to be stable become government rice reserves. The point of this research was to define the impact of the government purchase price policy of rice for producers and consumers. This research was conducted using qualitative analysis with descriptives based on tabulations of secondary data. Results of the research showed that government purchase price was part of the government's efforts to protect the basic price of grain and rice at the farm level thus creating affordable input prices and providing economic added value to farmers. The study found that an improvement in government purchase price  by 18-20% could increase the price of grain and rice from March to August 2023. The total percentage change in prices from March to August 2023 for dry harvested grain was 10.3%, dry milled grain was 10.8%, premium rice was 0.6%, medium rice was 3.2% respectively. Meanwhile, the impact on consumers of this policy was the occurrence of inflation of 0.41% which caused rice prices to increase. The government should evaluate the Government Purchasing Price (GPP) gradually every year.

Abstract

Yard-long bean, a favored vegetable known for its taste and nutritional value, holds economic importance. Its climbing nature and environmental resilience make it ideal for urban cultivation in pots and climbing frames. This study, conducted in a limited urban space, aimed to determine optimal pot size and cultivars for yard-long bean cultivation, emphasizing growth and yield. Two pot sizes were used: a larger one (30 cm diameter x 37 cm height, M1) and a smaller one (30 cm diameter x 30 cm height, M2), alongside three commercial cultivars: Kanton Tavi (V1), Camellia (V2), and Arafi (V3). Results indicated that a larger pot size increased pod number and total pod weight per plant, facilitating root development, vine growth, and enhanced yield. The larger substrate volume retained moisture and boosted plant biomass. Cultivar treatment affected branch length and flowering time, with Camellia exhibiting the longest harvest period (14 harvests). Hence, for Camellia varieties, cultivation using larger pots (30 cm diameter x 37 cm height) is recommended.

Abstract

Generally, vegetables cultivation in tropical riparian wetland is conducted only one times per year simultaneously or after rice cultivation. One of constrains of cultivation in tropical riparian wetland is low adoption to technology which can be used by local farmers during dry season. The objective of this research was to introduce result of research to local farmer directly and examine the local farmer’s adoption about the technology based on research to apply in tropical riparian wetland, Pemulutan, South Sumatera. Based on this research, results showed that farmers' interest in cultivating vegetables during the dry season is still low, but it has a chance to be improved. Alternative solutions through watering and adjustment of environmental conditions or adaptation through the selection of cultivation locations and the selection of various types of vegetable crops have been carried out by farmers. However, the application of mulch has not been practiced by farmers in tropical riparian wetland for vegetable cultivation during the dry season due to limited information received, considered as capital intensive, and the sociocultural aspects of the local community.

Abstract

Lakitan B. 2022. Sustainable intensification of food crop production in the inland tropical wetlands. In: Herlinda S et al. (Eds.), Prosiding Seminar Nasional Lahan Suboptimal ke-10 Tahun 2022, Palembang  27 Oktober 2022. pp. 1-13.  Palembang: Penerbit & Percetakan Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI).The need to increase food production at the global, national, and local levels should be continued in line with the increase in population. The inability of a country to meet its food needs will directly impact the country's dependence on imports from other countries. This will be a serious problem if the spike in food prices occurs again with a higher intensity and longer period. The efforts to increase food production today, especially in the future, will be increasingly difficult. The main challenge to increase food production is that the availability of agricultural land tends to decline due to conversion for the benefit of various other economic sectors. Indeed, the current technology is ready to produce food without using land, but the production costs are still too expensive compared to conventional crop cultivation which relies on land availability. The next challenge in efforts to increase food production is the necessity to ensure that the cultivation process does not reduce the quality of ecological functions, let alone damage the environment, so that food production can be sustainable. Currently, in addition to economic and ecological considerations, the food production process is also expected to be inclusive, i.e., providing opportunities for the majority of smallholder farmers and rural communities to participate. The social dimension in food production should not be ignored. The problem of increasing food production will become more complex. The dominant technical-agronomic solutions carried out today have proven ineffective and sometimes generate new problems. As a wiser but challenging alternative is to employ the principle of sustainable intensification in food production. So far, the tropical wetlands have not been intensively utilized in Indonesia. It is time for the wetlands to be managed intensively, ecologically, and inclusively.
