Abstract

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a vital protein source supporting nutrition and sustainable farming, yet its productivity in Indonesia remains low due to pests and poor cultivation.This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of superior varieties and types of insecticides in suppressing pest populations and increasing yields. The research was conducted in Sambueja Village, Maros Regency, using a Randomized Group Design (RAK) with four treatments: A1 (local seed + deltamethrin chemical insecticide), A2 (local seed + bogenvil vegetable insecticide), B1 (Takar 2 + chemical insecticide), and B2 (Takar 2 + vegetable insecticide), each with three replications. Results indicated that treatment B1 gave the highest yields: plant height 45 cm, number of leaves >20, wet weight 287.42 g, and number of pods 286.93 per plant. Treatment B2 was also high: 261.98 g wet weight and 261.49 pods. Treatments with local varieties gave lower yields. The use of improved varieties such as Takar 2, especially in combination with effective insecticides, is proven to increase productivity. However, chemical insecticides risk leaving residues that impact natural enemies, health, and the environment. In contrast, plant-based insecticides, while slower, are an environmentally friendly alternative that supports sustainable and safe agriculture.

Abstract

Ngada district has a traditional drink called moke putih. Moke putih is a traditional alcoholic beverage made from the Aren’s water (Arenga pinnata Merr.) that is found in Flores. For the people of Ngada, moke putih is a symbol of being kind and harmony, and the consumption of moke has become a lifestyle for most people in there. This drink has a lot of potential because it has strong historical elements and cultural values. The purpose of this research is to know the history, processing, and the connection between moke putih and the culture of Ngada. The research method is a qualitative approach to ethnoscience through purposive sampling techniques and snowball samplings from villages with 10 respondents and data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. Moke Putih is a traditional drink that has been passed down from generation to generation and is closely related to the culture, customs, and characteristics of the Ngada people. White moke is made from slicing the fruit stalks of the sap tree, and this drink is used at every traditional event and in daily activities as a substitute for drinking water.
