Abstract

Bengkulu Province is one of the provinces that experienced changes in the food security index pre and post the pandemic Covid-19. In 2018, the food security index (IKP) for Bengkulu Province was 70.77 and will decrease in 2022 to 68. Even though the IKP has decreased, Bengkulu Province is still in the food secure category. The aim of this research is to find out whether there are differences in food security conditions at the household level pre and post the pandemic Covid-19 using descriptive analysis and formal tests. The results of the analysis using the chi-square test show that the Pearson chi-square test shows a significance value of 0.00 (<α=5%). This demonstrates that the year and the food security of a household are related. In accordance with the initial assumption that the pandemic Covid-19 occurred in 2020 and 2018-2019 was the year before the pandemic and 2021-2022 was after the pandemic, it can be concluded that reject H0 where a connection between the impact of the pandemic Covid-19 and household food security. This is in line with the previous descriptive analysis where there was a relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and household food security

Abstract

Bengkulu Province in Sumatra exhibits lower economic growth than the average national level. Over the past five years, its average economic growth rate has been 4.82%, significantly below the national average of 5.31%. Economic disparities are evident between cities and regencies within the province, with coastal areas dominating yet showing significant variations in economic growth. This research used secondary data from the Bengkulu Provincial Statistics Agency for 2018-2022. It applies Klassen typology analysis and the Williamson Index to measure regional development disparities. The Klassen typology categorises Bengkulu City as an advanced and rapidly growing area, while Muko-Muko Regency and North Bengkulu Regency are identified as rapidly developing regions. Conversely, Kaur Regency and Seluma Regency are categorized as relatively underdeveloped areas. The Williamson Index analysis reveals significant disparities among the regencies/cities, with an average index of 0.385, indicating an increasing trend over the years. These disparities are influenced by regional characteristics and natural resource differences, hindering equitable development. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for the government in formulating appropriate policy strategies to reduce disparities and enhance economic growth in Bengkulu Province. Strategies such as job diversification and increased employment opportunities in the fisheries and processing industries can help address the disparities and poverty in coastal areas.

Abstract

Food security is one of the crucial issues in developing countries. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) identifies four food security components: availability, affordability, utilization, and stability. Bengkulu Province, until 2023, is the second poorest province on the island of Sumatra. This has an impact on food affordability, which is a component of food security. There needs to be mapping or grouping in each region in Bengkulu Province so that the policies formed and implemented can be more optimal. This study aims to group and map areas or districts in Bengkulu Province that have similar characteristics based on aspects of food availability, food affordability or physical access to food, and aspects of food utilization. Biplot analysis describes regional characteristics and variable correlations in a two-dimensional graph. The results of grouping food security areas based on the characteristics of the three aspects are three clusters. The first cluster consists of Kaur, South Bengkulu, and Lebong. The second cluster consists of Central Bengkulu, Mukomuko, and North Bengkulu. The third cluster consists of Rejang Lebong, Seluma, and Kepahiang. The first cluster tends to have good food security because its characteristics are relatively close to the food availability and utilisation indicators. The second cluster has strong attributes as an indicator of food affordability. The third cluster has characteristics that describe indicators of lack of electricity, clean water, poverty rate, and life expectancy.

Abstract

Sungai Suci is a part of Bengkulu that is 400 meters above sea level. Sungai Suci is located in a coral coastal area with three ecosystems: the bamboo ecosystem and the sea pine ecosystem; soil arthropods are among the animals that inhabit those two environments. This study aims to look into the variety of soil arthropods in the ecosystem of Sungai Suci. Sampling bamboo and sea pine ecosystems was done by taking soil from the root areas of bamboo and sea pine. For each ecosystem, five soil samples are taken randomly as replication. The soil was placed in a smaller funnel and left for two weeks at room temperature 24ºC, and 12 hours of irradiation. Soil arthropods obtained from the three ecosystems were identified, and their numbers were recorded. The most common type of arthropod found in the three ecosystems was acarina. The study results showed that the diversity values of the bamboo and sea pine ecosystems, respectively, were 1.44 and 0.49; and. Dominance values for the bamboo and sea pine ecosystems, respectively, are 0.38 and 0.82. The evenness values of the bamboo and sea pine, respectively, are 0.56 and 0.18.

Abstract

The percentage of the population living in poverty in Bengkulu Province was not affected by the pandemic and even tended to decrease. This is contrary to the findings of studies on the impact of the pandemic on income, poverty, and food security. One way to determine the impact of the pandemic on food security is by comparing the conditions before and after the pandemic. Based on the descriptive analysis results, the food Security Index in some districts increased steadily throughout the period, but others fluctuated. Some districts experiencing fluctuations include Rejang Lebong, Seluma, and Mukomuko. The Food Security Index of other districts, including Bengkulu City, tends to increase. Only the Food Security Index of Kepahiang and Bengkulu Tengah districts shows a tendency to decrease. The results of the paired sample t-test indicate a significant difference in the food security index among districts and cities in Bengkulu Province between before and after the pandemic. This finding aligns with the descriptive analysis results that show a difference in the food security index among districts and cities in Bengkulu Province. Further analysis was conducted by considering these three aspects. However, the three aspects yielded different results in the paired sample t-test. Only in terms of food quality, the paired sample t-test results showed a significant difference in quality index between before and after the pandemic, supported by a p-value of (0.032) < alpha 5%.

Abstract

Pak choi plant (Brassica rapa L) is a type of vegetable that is popular and loved by the public. This cultivation cannot be separated from pest attacks. Crocidolomia pavonana F. (crop caterpillar) is an important pest that causes severe damage to Pak choi plants. Pest control with the application of synthetic chemical insecticides causes resistance to crop caterpillars, kills natural enemies of insect pests and hurts the environment and human health. Another environmentally friendly alternative for controlling C. pavonana is needed.  It is necessary to use vegetable insecticides. Jengkol skin and kabau skin have the potential as plant-based insecticides to control C. pavonana. This research aims to find concentrations of jengkol and kabau skin extracts (vegetable insecticides) that are effective in preventing C. pavonana on Pak choi plants. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). It was carried out in two stages, namely testing the effectiveness of jengkol and kabau skin extracts on C. pavonana in the laboratory. Laboratory tests were carried out with three treatments of jengkol and kabau skin extract concentrations at concentrations of 4%, 6% and 8% respectively, repeated five times. Observations were carried out for a week. The variable observed was larval mortality. The laboratory test research results showed that 66% mortality occurred in kabau skin extract at a concentration of 8%, and in jengkol skin extract at a concentration of 8%, causing 53% mortality of crop caterpillar larvae.

Abstract

Bengkulu is one of the provinces located on the island of Sumatra, boasting a significant agricultural sector. One of the leading agrarian commodities in Bengkulu Province is oil palm. Oil palm in Bengkulu is planted in coastal areas. One of the key factors supporting oil palm fruit production is a healthy soil arthropod ecosystem. Soil arthropods play an essential role in the oil palm plantation ecosystem. As organisms that live in the soil, these animals help maintain soil and plant health, improving soil structure and nutrient availability for oil palm plants. This study aims to obtain initial data on the diversity of soil arthropods and their roles in smallholder oil palm plantations on the coast of Bengkulu. This study began with sampling oil palm plantations around the coast of Bengkulu. The areas that will be used as study locations include Sungai Suci, Danau Gedang, and Pekik Nyaring. Arthropod sampling was carried out by installing pitfall traps in both areas, which were determined diagonally in a ​​200 m² area, with 20 pitfall trap units per location. Arthropod species were identified based on morphology, and the type and number of populations were recorded. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index, dominance index, and evenness index measure analysis of biodiversity data. The results of the study showed that in the majority, the diversity of soil arthropods in the three sampling areas was moderate, the dominance of arthropod types was low to moderate, and evenness was moderate to high.

Abstract

Food security is one of the maqashid of sharia (sharia goals), namely protecting the soul (hifz al-nafs). Food security is important in maintaining the life and sustainability of humanity. Because affordability is a component of food security, there is a close relationship between food security and poverty. Bengkulu Province is the second largest province with a percentage of people living in poverty on the island of Sumatra. However, the percentage of people in Bengkulu Province who live in poverty tends to be unaffected by the pandemic and is even showing signs of decreasing. The results of other studies on the impact of the pandemic on poverty, income and food security contradict this. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research regarding changes in food security after the pandemic in cities and districts in Bengkulu Province. The results of this descriptive analysis show that almost all city and district food security indices have not experienced significant changes after the Covid-19 pandemic in Bengkulu Province. Only Mukomuko Regency and Bengkulu City experienced significant changes, namely changing from the "Resistant" category to "Very Resistant". The results of a deeper analysis based on the three aspects show that there are no significant changes in the three aspects from 2020-2023. Only Mukomuko Regency and Bengkulu City experienced a significant increase in the food utilization index from 2020-2023. This is in line with the descriptive analysis of the food security index where the increase in the food security index for Mukomuko Regency and Bengkulu City was caused by an increase in the food utilization index.
