Abstract

Sweet potatoes have an excellent opportunity to develop food consumption diversification programs based on local resources, carbohydrate sources, sources of various nutrients, industrial raw materials and animal feed, and different processed products. This study aims to analyze the development of food socially and culturally. The research was conducted using a survey method in Kalitengah District, Lamongan, Indonesia. Sampling was done purposively in 4 sweet potato center villages, with 165 farmer respondents. Data analysis uses descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that the age of sweet potato farmers is relatively old, an average of 53 years, while the education level of farmers is low, with 75.80% having a primary school education. 75.80% of farmers have over 30 years of experience cultivating sweet potatoes, and everything has been done culturally for generations. Farmers consume sweet potatoes that have not yet become a culture, which is 74.50%. A recommendation for valuable improvements is to train farmers on fertilizers and storage facilities. Efforts to develop sweet potato cultivation will be instrumental in policy making. In the future, it is hoped that the community will be able to improve the culture of consuming sweet potatoes.

Abstract

Proper fertilization is an effort to increase soybean production. This study aimed to examine the effect of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) application enriched with Empty Palm Oil Bunch (EPOB) Ash Nano  and determine the optimal concentration on soybean growth and yield. This research was carried out at the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. This research was conducted using a single factor experimental method which was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design. The treatments tested were rabbit urine LOF; Rabbit urine LOF + EPOB Ash Nano 1%; Rabbit urine LOF + EPOB Ash Nano 2%; Rabbit urine LOF + EPOB Ash Nano 3% and rabbit urine LOF + EPOB Ash Nano 4%. The results showed that the application of  rabbit urine LOF + EPOB Ash Nano 4% could increase soybean growth and was able to increase the dry weight of 100 seeds. Application of rabbit urine LOF enriched with EPOB Ash Nano can save nitrogen nutrient fulfillment for soybeans by up to half the recommended dose.

Abstract

Vegetable horticultural goods like chicory and cabbage often face production and income risks. Rational farmers tend to be risk averse. Disparities in decision-making can result from individual differences in risk aversion. This study aims to (1) analyze the level of risk of costs, production, and income of cabbage and chicory farming; (2) analyze farmers' behavior towards the cost risk, production, and income of cabbage and chicory farming; and (3) analyze social factors that affect farmers' behavior on the risks of cabbage and chicory farming. A descriptive analytical method was used in the study. Observation and structured interviews with 100 farmers of cabbage and 100 farmers of chicory utilizing questionnaires were used to gather data. The findings indicate that growing cabbage is riskier than growing chicory. Regarding both commodities, the majority of farmers behave in a risk-averse manner. Risk aversion falls with better education, more years of agricultural experience, larger households, and higher farm revenue, but rises with larger acreage, older age, and more frequent crop failure. In general, farmers who grow cabbage are less willing to take risks than those who grow chicory. In order to lower farming hazards and increase revenue stability, extension programs are crucial for enhancing farmers' knowledge of the best times to grow chicory and cabbage.
