Abstract

Corn farmers on the RI–RDTL border frequently face limited resources in developing their agricultural potential, despite continuous government efforts to provide support and facilitation. Addressing this issue requires an understanding of both internal and external factors related to farmers, innovative characteristics, the role of information media, and the involvement of extension workers. This study aims to examine the determinants influencing maize farmers’ practices in West Miomaffo District, North Central Timor Regency. Data were collected through a survey of 161 corn growers and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The analysis revealed that communication efficacy and farmer-related external factors significantly influence behavioral changes, with critical ratio values exceeding the threshold (CR > 1.96). Conversely, internal farmer factors, innovation characteristics, and the role of extension workers did not have a significant effect on practice changes. These findings highlight that strengthening external support systems and improving communication strategies are more decisive for behavioral transformation among maize farmers in the border area than internal or innovation-driven factors.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the extent of implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and the factors that influence the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in horticultural farming in Aunupe Village, Wolasi District, South Konawe Regency. The population under study comprised horticultural farmers who were affiliated with farmer groups in Aunupe Village, amounting to a total of eight farmer groups and 134 members. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%, resulting in a sample size of 57 farmers. The sampling technique that was employed was proportional random sampling. The present study employs a quantitative research method. The study's primary focus is on the level of implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and the factors that influence the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). The research data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive statistical methods. Subsequent analysis was executed employing the class interval formula and simple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 24 software. The results of the study show that the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in horticultural farming in Aunupe Village, Wolasi District, South Konawe Regency is still moderate, with weaknesses in the aspects of environmental friendliness, consumption safety, and production sustainability. Factors such as age, education, land area, income, and the role of extension workers were found to significantly influence the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), while experience had no significant effect. Farming experience, which has been considered important, does not appear to be a dominant factor in the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices. This condition emphasizes the need to increase farmer capacity through education, training, and extension support to accelerate the optimal adoption of Good Agricultural Practices.

Abstract

The utilization of yards by Women Farmers Groups is imperative for ensuring food security; however, the efficacy of this practice is contingent upon the optimal functioning of the group, which, in practice, continues to grapple with numerous impediments. The objective of this study is to analyze the role of the Green Women Farmers Group in utilizing yards in Anawai Village, Wua-Wua District, Kendari City. The research population consists of all 30 members of the Green Women Farmers Group. The sample was determined using the census method. The present study employed a quantitative approach. The data presented herein were collected through a variety of research methods, including surveys, in-depth interviews, and a meticulous review of relevant documentation. The research variables of interest were the role of farmer groups and the utilization of home gardens. The collected data were then subjected to analysis using quantitative descriptive methods. The findings indicated that the Green Women Farmers Group (KWT) in Anawai Village, Wua-Wua District, Kendari City, exhibited a high level of proficiency in the utilization of yards, particularly in its functions as a learning class, a conduit for cooperation, and a production unit. Conversely, the level of yard utilization by its members was found to be moderate, contingent on the diversity of commodities produced and the ensuing benefits obtained. A correlation analysis reveals a robust and statistically significant positive association between group role and yard utilization (r = 0.774; p < 0.05). This finding suggests that effective group function implementation is associated with enhanced yard management and productivity among its members. Women's farmer groups have been shown to make a significant contribution to enhancing the effectiveness of yard management and fostering more productive and sustainable use of local resources.
