Abstract

Cassava is one of Indonesia’s leading food commodities, especially in Lampung Province. However, cassava harvesting is still predominantly done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to crop damage. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cassava harvesting using a Kubota mechanical harvesting implement compared to traditional manual methods. The research was conducted in Bandar Mataram District, Central Lampung Regency, over an area of 0.75 hectares and observed parameters including harvest time, tuber damage, losses, and labor efficiency. Results showed that the harvesting implement significantly improved efficiency, allowing one machine to harvest up to 1.07 hectares per day, compared to only 0.045 hectares per day per person using manual labor. Tuber damage and losses were also reduced from 7% in manual harvesting to 1.59% with the implement. Furthermore, the implement created soil ridges suitable for direct replanting without further tillage. Despite its advantages, some operational weaknesses were identified, such as the need for stem cutting and transportation improvements. Overall, the use of mechanized harvesting tools enhances cassava farming efficiency and has the potential to reduce labor dependency and improve farmer productivity.

Abstract

Global climate change such as El Nino has serious impacts on the agricultural sector, especially soybean production which is very sensitive to water shortages. The government is responding by developing superior soybean varieties that are drought-resistant, such as Kemuning 1, Demas 1, and other varieties that have qualities equivalent to imported soybeans. A significant issue in soybean cultivation within tropical regions is the reduction in seed quality during storage, which is related to the high fat content present in orthodox seeds. Therefore, maintaining the physiological condition of the seeds until planting season requires controlling seed storage at optimal temperature and humidity levels. The results demonstrate that both cultivar and temperature affect the physiological quality of soybean seeds. The Grobogan and Dega 1 varieties produce better physiological quality compared to Deja 2, Dena 1, and Detap 1. Storing seeds at cold temperatures is more effective in maintaining seed viability and quality stability. Key words: Seed, soybean, seed storage, physiological quality

Abstract

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is one of the fruits that have a high potential in the market compared with other tropical fruit, mangosteen, but production is still very low. The main obstacle in the cultivation of mangosteen is slow growth due to lack of lateral roots, especially of plant origin mangosteen seeds. Therefore, efforts should be made to accelerate the growth of mangosteen seedling. This research aims to optimize the growth of mangosteen seedling, growth regulator technology using natural extracts of onion and sprouts extract with a different frequency of administration. The research was conducted in the greenhouse of Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung from October 2018 to March 2019. This study uses treatments arranged as factorial (2x3) in a randomized complete block design were repeated three times. The first factor is the type of extracts of onion and sprouts, and the second factor is the frequency of 1, 2, and 3 times. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and the separation of the middle values ​​with orthogonal contrasts test at 5% significance level. The results showed that the giving of organic matter from the ZPT source one better in improving the mangosteen seedling fresh weight compared to the frequency of two or three times with the difference in weight of 0.47 g (12.71%). Mangosteen seedling root development is increased when treated with one application of sprout extract, but when using shallot extract two or three applications would be required.

Abstract

A salted egg maker has been developed by the Agricultural Engineering Department. The tool is the third generation, with a glass container for the salt solution. This ensures the container is leak-proof and corrosion-resistant, as previous salted egg makers were made of metal. This training aims to teach the public how to use the tool. The tool is made of glass, making it susceptible to breakage or cracking. This community service program involves lectures and demonstrations. The activity was conducted in the Integrated Field Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture. Participants were invited to the Integrated Field Laboratory. The materials provided included: 1. Introducing the modified tool to the participants, 2. Teaching participants how to use the modified tool, and 3. Teaching them how to store it properly. It is hoped that those who participate in this training will be able to apply and disseminate the knowledge gained after the training.
