Abstract

West Sumatra was declared as a center for Indonesian cocoa in the western portion. Almost all areas in West Sumatra are suitable for cocoa cultivation, so the cocoa planting area covers almost all the districts in the province. However, West Sumatran Cocoa production decline occurs because cocoa plantations are still mostly cultivated with smallholder plantations. The occurrence of land conversion and reduced land carrying capacity, including soil fertility, is due to the continuous use of inorganic fertilizers, which results in a decrease in the ecological quality of the land. Efforts to improve land conditions biologically by utilizing soil biotechnology. One of the soil microbes that can be utilized is Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). AMF that live in a symbiotic mutualism with plant roots and helps the absorption of plant nutrients and live in various places. The study aimed to identify arbuscular mycorrhiza Cocoa rhizosphere three districts, West Sumatra province, from the month of November 2020 to May 2021. The results showed the number of spores and diversity of AMF. The number of spores was 67-218 spores per 20 g soil. The root colonization was in the range of 21.3 - 24.6%. While the AMF diversity before trapped found three types of sport Glomus sp., Acaulospora sp., dan Gigaspora sp

Abstract

Hasil temuan suatu penelitian harus diketahui oleh masyarakat, baik secara spesifik dalam kelompok tertentu maupun kepada kalangan umum untuk menghasilkan dampak terhadap pembangunan. Diseminasi hasil riset dapat dilakukan melalui pameran pada kegiatan Pekan Nasional (PENAS) Petani Nelayan XVI. PENAS menjadi wadah tukar menukar informasi, pengalaman serta pengembangan kemitraan dan jejaring kerjasama antara para petani nelayan dan petani hutan, peneliti, penyuluh, pihak swasta dan pemerintah sehingga dapat membangkitkan semangat, tanggung jawab serta kemandirian sebagai pelaku utama pembangunan pertanian, perikanan dan kehutanan. Kegiatan PENAS dilaksanakan pada tanggal 10-15 Juni 2023 di Kota Padang, Sumatera Barat. Metode yang digunakan adalah pameran hasil penelitian, sosialisasi ketahanan pangan dan urban farming, diskusi dengan pengujung, pembagian benih dan leaflet gratis, serta pemasaran produk UKM hasil binaan dosen. Kegiatan pameran dan diseminasi hasil riset serta kerjasama pada PENAS ke XVI mendapat sambutan baik dan antusias yang tinggi oleh masyarakat dan peserta PENAS. Pengunjung mengetahui tentang hasil riset yang telah dilaksanakan oleh dosen, mendapatkan informasi tentang tanaman dan pertanian, memperoleh benih yang nanti akan ditanam untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga.

Abstract

There is ample opportunity for cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) plantations because the world demand for cocoa increases every year. Cocoa plants bear fruit every year without knowing the season so cocoa cultivation provides promising prospects. The demand for cocoa must be balanced with increased in production from the cultivation scale from providing seeds to expanding cocoa planting land. The experimental design used in this study was a two-factor Randomised Group Design, namely the provision of AMF F0 (without AMF) and F1 (with AMF). The second factor is cocoa waste compost in planting media (v/v) with five levels, namely k0 (0%), k1 (5%), k2 (10%), k3 (15%),and k4 (20%). The aim of the research was to see the effectiveness of AMF and cocoa waste compost on the growth of cocoa seedling. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the treatment of FMA can increase plant height, root volume, root dry weight, and percentage of colonized roots. Cocoa seedlings gave the best response with a dose of 0% cocoa waste compost with AMF treatment, with an average height of 60.19 cm . The percentage of AMF colonization is high at 44.6%. The final soil analysis showed an increase in P-available pH and soil Ald with mycorrhiza and cocoa shell compost treatment at a dose of 10%

Abstract

Cocoa is one of Indonesia's flagship commodities that significantly contributes to the nation's economy. However, recently, the fame of cocoa has been declining due to various issues affecting its cultivation, from upstream to downstream. One of these issues is the use of low-quality cocoa seeds, adversely impacting long-term production. This condition affects the enthusiasm of the community in cocoa cultivation, leading to a decline in national cocoa production. Hence, there's a need for early anticipation by socializing cocoa planting to the younger generation, especially those around the University Andalas campus in Padang. The objective of this activity is to impart knowledge about cocoa plants and the cocoa planting process to the younger generation around the University Andalas to support sustainable cocoa farming. The event took place in Sungai Balang, Pauh Kota Padang. The method employed was structured socialization to the younger generation at the University Andalas Campus. The activity's outcomes were evaluated through questionnaires. The results indicated high enthusiasm among the participants, with 87% expressing high satisfaction with the conducted activities, and 93% hoping for the sustainability of these initiatives. These results demonstrate an increased understanding among the younger generation at the University Andalas about cocoa plants, cocoa planting, and the entrepreneurial spirit based on cocoa planting. It's hoped that this initiative continues, supported by mentoring and guidance.
