Abstract

This study looks into the complex factors that affect dairy producers in South Bangka's use of agricultural technology. Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was used to examine the correlations between farmers' knowledge, motivational factors, technology adoption, and demographic characteristics using a sample of 112 farmers. The results highlight the importance of education and adaptability to change by showing a strong positive correlation between demographic characteristics (age, education) and technological adoption. Farmers' knowledge was found to be a crucial element; a substantial positive association suggests that adoption is positively influenced by a deeper understanding of agricultural technologies. Economic incentives and perceived benefits were found to have significant positive connections with technology adoption, indicating the role that perceived benefits play in encouraging the acceptance of new ideas. The model's significant explanatory and predictive ability was validated by the SEM-PLS study, offering a thorough framework for comprehending and improving South Bangka's adoption of technology. The findings highlight the need of a comprehensive strategy that takes into account farmers' goals, experiences, and degree of knowledge in order to promote the adoption of sustainable technologies.

Abstract

This research investigates the interplay of climate change factors, sustainable agricultural practices, and community involvement on agricultural productivity, focusing on rice farmers in the Cianjur area. Through a quantitative analysis involving 121 farmers, descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were employed to unveil patterns and relationships. The results reveal a moderate positive correlation between climate change awareness and productivity, a strong positive association between sustainable practices and productivity, and a robust positive correlation between community involvement and productivity. Multiple regression analysis indicates that, collectively, these factors significantly contribute to agricultural productivity. The findings underscore the importance of holistic approaches that integrate climate resilience, sustainable practices, and community engagement for enhancing agricultural productivity in the Cianjur region.

Abstract

This study employs bibliometric analysis and network visualization techniques to explore the evolution and current trends in agronomy research over the past decade. Through a series of VOSviewer visualizations, we analyze thematic clusters, research trends over time, author collaborations, and potential research opportunities within the field. Our findings indicate a dynamic shift from foundational topics such as soil and nutrient management towards more complex issues like crop-specific adaptations and environmental stress responses. Additionally, the analysis of co-authorship networks reveals robust collaborative patterns among scholars, emphasizing both dense clusters and isolated research activities. The study also identifies emerging research areas, including sustainable pest management and the agronomic impact on food quality, highlighting gaps and opportunities for future research. This comprehensive overview not only charts the scientific landscape of agronomy but also serves as a guide for future scholarly endeavors aimed at enhancing sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract

Soybean stands as a critical crop globally, serving as a primary source of protein and oil. Optimizing soybean production is imperative to meet increasing demand amid evolving environmental and agronomic challenges. This qualitative analysis delves into the role of soil type and environmental conditions in enhancing soybean yield. Through a synthesis of existing literature and insights from interviews with key stakeholders, patterns and trends influencing soybean cultivation are identified. The findings underscore the complex interplay between soil properties, climatic factors, and agronomic practices in shaping soybean production dynamics. Tailored management strategies are essential for optimizing soil health, water management, and varietal selection to enhance soybean resilience and sustainability in the face of ongoing climate change and variability.
