Abstract

Reliable nitrogen (N) monitoring remains a major challenge in tropical wheat systems due to dynamic N uptake, redistribution, and environmental variability across growth stages. Although RGB based digital imaging offers a rapid and non-destructive alternative, its accuracy is often limited by the phase-dependent relationship between leaf color and nitrogen status. This study aimed to identify the critical vegetative stage that provides the most reliable estimation of leaf nitrogen in tropical wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A greenhouse experiment was conducted using a randomized block design with five nitrogen rates (0–300 kg urea ha⁻¹). Leaf images were collected at four vegetative stages (V1–V4), and RGB values were transformed into vegetation indices (ExG, GLI, TGI, and NGRDI). These indices were correlated with chlorophyll and leaf nitrogen content using Pearson analysis. Results showed a clear phase-specific pattern, with the strongest relationship observed at V3 (second node emergence). The ExG index exhibited a very strong and significant correlation with leaf nitrogen (r = 0.97; p < 0.01). In contrast, weak correlations at V1 and negative trends at V4 were associated with limited nitrogen accumulation and remobilization processes.These findings highlight V3 as the optimal stage for nitrogen estimation and emphasize the importance of a phase-specific approach to improve RGB based monitoring in tropical wheat systems.

Abstract

In recent years, the concept of smart villages has gained increasing prominence as a means of encouraging sustainable development in rural areas. This is particularly relevant in the agricultural sector, where the potential of land resources is crucial. Cukilan Village, located in Suruh District, Semarang Regency, Central Java, is primarily an agricultural area, with over 80% of its land designated for agricultural purposes. The village government has expressed a desire to develop Cukilan as a smart village through an FGD process. Based on this background, a community service program was implemented with the aim of designing Cukilan Village as a smart village in stages, to enhance economic growth and prosperity by leveraging the potential of agricultural resources and human resources, as well as accelerating the village development process. The method for implementing this PKM (Community Service) program utilized the Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which involved outreach, discussion, mapping of agroecological zones, as well as land suitability and evaluation. As a result of this initiative, the Cukilan Village government received guidance for an ideal agricultural system based on land resource potential, which serves as a basic component towards the realization of Cukilan Smart Village.

Abstract

Jeruk Village, Selo Subdistrict, Boyolali Regency, is a highland agricultural area facing challenges such as sloping land erosion, low conservation knowledge, limited climate adaptation, and weak bargaining power of farmers. The Community Empowerment Program by Students (PMM) through Community Service Program (KKN) was implemented to empower the Bangun Tani 2 and Tani Mulyo 2 Farmer Groups by involving 32 Agrotechnology and Agribusiness students from Satya Wacana Christian University in September–October 2025. Activities included socialization, environmentally friendly technology training, mentoring, soil block making, biopesticide and biofertilizer production, education on sloping land conservation using terraced models, as well as post-harvest training and digital marketing. The evaluation showed an increase in farmers' understanding and skills based on pre-test and post-test scores. This program enhances farmers' independence, reduces dependence on external inputs, promotes product value addition, and expands market access through digital platforms, thereby potentially becoming a sustainable empowerment model for highland regions.
