Abstract

The purpose of the study  knowing the interest of the young generation in the organic agriculture field, its effect on the development of organic rice cultivation in Ngemplak Subdistrict, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region which was held from May to August 2020 in Widodomartani Village. The location was determined purposively because it has organic farmer groups and livestock groups. The samples were determined purposively, namely the young generation aged 16-35 years. Sampling was selected by simple random sampling. Determination of the number of samples using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was performed by qualitative descriptive analysis, the results of which were presented in tabulated form. To measure the interest of the young generation, measured using the Likert Scale Technique. From the analysis, it is known that the young generation's interest in organic farming is classified as less interested in the agroinput sub-system with an average score of 2.45 (61.25%), the cultivation sub-system with an average score of 2.27 (61.82%). ) and the marketing sub-system with an average score of 2.46 (61.47%). This is because they consider agriculture to be a job that is not promising and dirty and tiring so that the number of organic farmers in Widodomartani Village has not increased, even though organic rice production has increased since 2017. The efforts and roles of related parties such as government, businessmen, private sector and organic practitioners are very much  needed to attract young people to engage in organic agriculture.

Abstract

Supporting factors for the success of rice planting include seed availability in sufficient quantities, high quality, and availability when needed. Conventional rice seed viability testing generally takes quite a long time, around 14 days. Therefore, it is necessary to develop several methods for quickly testing seed viability. This research aims to determine the coloring pattern of rice seeds, differences in viability tested with 0.25% tetrazolium concentration, and the relationship between the viability values of seeds tested for sprouting and those tested with 0.25% tetrazolium. This research was carried out from March to May 2023 at the Laboratory of the Central Java Seed Supervision and Certification Center. The treatments used were tests using the direct sprout test (rolled paper in plastic test) and the 0.25% concentration tetrazolium test method. The seeds used were seeds with different storage times (0, 1, 2, and 3 months) to obtain variations in seed vigor. The data obtained were analyzed using visual and descriptive analysis, t-test, and correlation analysis. The results showed that the tetrazolium test with a concentration of 0.25% on Inpari 42 rice seeds produced seven coloring patterns grouped into four viable seed and three non-viable seed coloring patterns. The 0.25% concentration tetrazolium test showed that the results had no significant effect and were closely related the results of the direct germination test so the rapid test could be used as a substitute for the (conventional) germination test on a wide scale.
