Abstract

Nutmeg is one of the leading plantation commodities in East Seram Regency, Maluku Province, Indonesia. The nutmeg cultivation system in East Seram Regency is still conventional with an inefficient marketing system. The research aims to obtain data and information on the cultivation system and marketing chain of nutmeg in East Seram District. The research was carried out during the nutmeg harvest season in 2021 using a survey method. The research was conducted in three sub-districts in East Seram District, namely Tutuk Tolu Sub-District (Danama Village), Kian Darat Sub-District (Kileser and Rumfakar Villages), and Bula Barat Sub-District (Dreamland Hills Village). The research was carried out through structured interviews with nutmeg farmers and collectors. Respondents of nutmeg farmers were selected by purposive sampling as many as 20 nutmeg farmers so that there were a total of 80 respondents. The results of the study were informed that the nutmeg cultivation system in East Seram Regency was still conventional, especially in Tutuk Tolu and Kian Darat Districts. Nutmeg farmers have a weak bargaining position in the marketing system because prices are fully determined by collectors

Abstract

Fertilizers are very important nutrients added to plants. Bokashi fertilizer is an organic fertilizer that is very useful when applied to plants because it contains beneficial microorganisms that are able to provide plant nutrients through the recycling process and form a soil structure that is suitable for plant growth. This study aimed to determine the growth of pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) by the application of water weed (Pistia stratiotes) bokashi. The research method used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) of two factors with three replications. The treatment factors consisted of water weed (Pistia stratiotes) bokashi doses of P0, P1, P2 and P3 (0, 10, 20, and 30 ton.ha-1), and bokashi time application of T1, T2 and T3 (14 days before planting, 7 days before planting, at the same time as planting). The size of the plot is 1 m × 1 m and in 1 plot there are 12 plants. Data observed in this study consisted of growth variables analysed using Analysis of Variance and continued with the Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at ? = 5%. Results of this study showed that the dose of bokashi water weed (Pistia stratiotes) treatment was 20 ton.ha-1 (P2), bokashi time application was 7 days before planting (T2), and the interaction gave a very significant effect on all growth observation variables including plant length, number of leaves, and area leaf.

Abstract

Most of the nutmeg cultivation systems in Maluku are smallholder plantations. Agroforestry has long been developed in Maluku for generations known as dusung. Dusung can increase farmers' income continuously because the harvest is done weekly, monthly, yearly. The problems faced by farmers in Maluku regarding the productivity potential of nutmeg plants are caused by factors such as plant age, plant cultivation techniques and conventional processing. Based on these problems, a study was conducted to obtain data and information about hamlet-based nutmeg cultivation systems and productivity in Kairatu Barat District. The data and information are useful in the context of improving hamlet-based nutmeg cultivation systems in Kairatu Barat District, West Seram Regency in the future. The research uses survey methods and direct observation in the field. The selection of respondents was carried out by purposive sampling. Respondents amounted to 32 farmers. Sampling was carried out using Stratified Random Sampling, strata were determined based on the number of nutmeg plants per farmer and samples were taken randomly from each farmer. Data collected in the form of primary and secondary data. The research was carried out during the 2022 harvest season. The results of the research indicated that the cultivation system and production of nutmeg in West Kairatu District (Kamal village, Nuruwe, Lohiatala) is classified as low. Due to the number of nutmeg plants that produce began to decline. the seeds used as seeds still come from sweeping seeds. Control of Plant Destruction Organisms is carried out only when the plants start producing and fertilization is never done. Overall, the farmers in the research location cultivate hamlet-based nutmeg plants.
