Abstract

The increase in the number of areas of oil palm plantations and technology that continues to develop has an impact on the increasing need for human resources, especially labor. There are several stages of work in oil palm plantations that require special attention, one of which is oil palm harvesting work because this work requires skills other than physical strength. Harvesters are required to be skilled in harvesting and have knowledge of correct harvesting techniques both in terms of harvest quality and quantity because this work is directly related to fresh fruit bunches (FFB). The research aims to determine the characteristics and level of knowledge of harvesters regarding palm oil harvesting techniques. The data used is questionnaire data as primary data. Before being distributed to respondents, the questionnaire was tested for validity, then continued with a reliability test. The data was analyzed using mathematical calculations. Employees at PT. Alam Jaya Persada is male with 100%. The age of 100% harvest employees falls within the productive age group, namely 18-53 years. The majority of education, 69.4%, only received elementary school education. Workers who work between 1 year and more than 5 years amount to 75%.  Employee knowledge of palm oil harvesting techniques is included in the Good category.

Abstract

Rat pests in oil palm plantations are the main problem causing losses in oil palm production. Therefore, one way that can be done is by chemical control using rodenticides. This study aims to determine the working mechanism and effectiveness of rat pest control using rodenticides in oil palm plantations. Observations were made for 22 days on the block which based on the census results has stated that the rate of basic attacks attacked by rat pests exceeds the economic threshold limit of 5%. The data collected were in the form of the number of observed trees and the subjects attacked by rat pests, the number of poisons used and calculated the percentage of attacks and the decrease in the percentage of attacks. The results of the study show that PT. Maju Kalimantan Ahead is making efforts to control the rat pest population chemically using chlorine poison which has rodenticide active substances. Regarding the effectiveness of the control techniques used, during the 22 days of observation with the number of Klerat poisons applied as many as 3,899 grains and 804 poisons consumed, there has been a decrease in the percentage of rat pest attacks which was originally at 19.82% (medium category) down to 2.40% (free category), or there has been a decrease in attacks by 87.89%. This indicates that the method carried out chemically using chloride poison with rodenticide content is very effective in controlling the spread of rat pest populations in oil palm plantations.
