Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a condition that occurs due to an imbalance between energy and protein intake, so that the body's nutritional needs are not optimally met. Government efforts to prevent CED and KEP (Energy Protein Deficiency) are carried out through the Supplementary Feeding (PMT) program, which aims to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women and toddlers. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a cereal commodity that has the potential as an alternative to wheat. Meanwhile, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a local bean that has high nutritional value, especially as a source of vegetable protein. This study aims to evaluate the effect of variations in sorghum and cowpea drying temperatures on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cereal drink powder. Tests conducted include physical analysis (ash content, water content, solubility, viscosity, and rehydration time) and sensory testing through hedonic tests. The results showed that variations in drying temperature at 50oC, 60oC, and 70oC significantly affected the viscosity value at speeds of 6 rpm, 12 rpm, 30 rpm, and 60 rpm with a range of 41.87–68.65 mPas, and significantly affected the color parameter (b*) with a range of 10.98–12.75. In the hedonic test, temperature treatment also showed a significant effect on taste parameters and overall acceptance. However, there was no significant effect on ash content, water content, solubility, rehydration time, or hygroscopicity rate. Keywords: Cereal drink powder, cowpea, physicochemical, sorghum.

Abstract

Weed Species Diversity in Lowland and Upland Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) Fields: Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) cultivation began intensively on the northern coast of Java Island from the 1830s to the 1870s. Because of the presence of weeds that can interfere with the growth of major crops such as sugarcane, it is important to identify and manage these weeds to maintain productivity levels. Weed competition for nutrients, water, and light can significantly reduce crop yields. Agricultural land in Indonesia is divided into two main categories: lowland and upland, each with different environmental characteristics and weed species. Identification and utilization of weeds in lowland and upland sugarcane fields are essential for effective land management and increasing agricultural sustainability. Practices such as integrated weed management, which involves cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical control strategies, play an important role in controlling weeds and ensuring maximum crop productivity. Factors that influence weed diversity in these areas are complex, including environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and soil type, as well as agricultural practices such as pesticide use, crop rotation, and soil management. Collaborative efforts in implementing various weed control methods are essential in addressing weed challenges and optimizing sugarcane production in various environments.

Abstract

Farmer productivity plays a crucial role in increasing production yields, which directly impacts food security. One factor that can increase farmer productivity is social capital, which assists in production, distribution, and innovation. Higher farmer productivity leads to a stable food supply and more affordable prices, thus creating sustainable economic growth. This study aims to determine the influence of social capital dimensions on farmer productivity in the village of Donggug. The method used in this study is descriptive quantitative with data analysis techniques using multiple linear regression. This study was conducted in Donggug Village, Mare District, Bone Regency, with a population of 177 people and a sample of 35 people. Data collection techniques used a questionnaire. The variables examined in this study consisted of dependent variables (Trust, Participation, Social Norms, and Networks) and independent variables (Farmer Productivity). The results showed that the variables of trust, participation, and social norms did not affect farmer productivity, while networks did. These findings indicate that the existence of networks, especially those related to access to information, markets, and production facilities, plays a significant role in increasing farmer productivity.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of palm oil empty fruit bunch (EFB)-based growth media inoculated with Trichoderma spp. in enhancing vegetative growth of oil palm seedlings and suppressing Ganoderma boninense. A randomized block design was applied with five treatments: four doses of Trichoderma spp. (2 g, 4 g, 6 g, 8 g) and one untreated control, each repeated eight times. Observed parameters included plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, symptoms of Ganoderma attack, and disease intensity. Results showed that during the first and second months, no symptoms of Ganoderma were detected, consistent with the pathogen’s long latent period. In the third month, initial indications appeared, such as chlorosis of older leaves and necrosis of leaf tips, although no mycelium or necrosis was observed on roots. Vegetative growth analysis revealed variation among treatments. The 4 g and 6 g Trichoderma treatments produced the tallest seedlings, while the 8 g treatment yielded the highest leaf number. Stem diameter remained relatively uniform across treatments and showed no significant differences. ANOVA confirmed that differences among treatments were not statistically significant at the 5% level, though a trend of improved vegetative growth was evident in Trichoderma-treated seedlings. These findings suggest that combining PKEB with Trichoderma spp. has potential as an organic medium and environmentally friendly biocontrol agent against G. boninense. However, effectiveness could not be statistically validated within the three-month observation period. Longer-term studies with more replicates and physiological or molecular assessments are recommended to confirm efficacy and support field application. Keywords: oil palm, Trichoderma spp., EFB, Ganoderma boninense, vegetative growth

Abstract

Pears (Pyrus pyrifolia) are tropical fruits with a sweet taste, crisp texture, and high water content. Cut pears have a short shelf life of 3-5 days due to enzymatic browning and physical damage after cutting. One method to extend shelf life is the use of edible coatings. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of sodium alginate and calcium chloride as coatings for cut pears in maintaining physical quality and extending shelf life. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors: the first factor was sodium alginate concentration and the second factor was calcium chloride concentration. Pear coating was carried out by making a solution of sodium alginate and calcium chloride with concentrations of 1% and 2%, respectively. The coating process was carried out using the dipping method. The pears were washed and then peeled. The samples were then dipped in a sodium alginate solution for 2 minutes, and then dipped in a calcium chloride solution for 1 minute. Then the pears were stored at 4 Celcius degree and tested for 0, 6, and 12 days. Based on the results of the study, it showed that coating using sodium alginate and calcium chloride was able to suppress the increase in weight loss, total soluble solids, and maintain the color value of the pears. At a concentration of 2% sodium alginate and 1% calcium chloride, it had an effect on slowing down the decline in pear quality during storage.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the use of EM-4 and MA-11 bioactivators on the nutritional content of fermented cassava cobs. The experiment was conducted in December 2025 at the FP Laboratory of Bantara University, using an experimental approach with a completely randomized design (CRD) featuring a one-way arrangement, which included three treatments and eight replications. The treatments applied were P0: cassava cobs combined with 5 cc molasses; P1: cassava cobs mixed with 5 cc molasses and 2% EM-4; and P2: cassava cobs plus 5 cc molasses and 2% MA-11. Each sample underwent an incubation period of 7 days. The variables monitored included the levels of Dry Matter, Crude Protein, and Crude Fiber. Data were evaluated through analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that the application of bioactivators significantly affected the levels of dry matter, crude protein, and crude fiber in cassava cobs (P <0.01). It was concluded that fermentation of cassava cob with 2% EM-4 together with 5 cc of molasses could increase dry matter content by 0.63%, increase crude protein by 0.95%, and reduce crude fiber by 2.13%. Furthermore, fermentation with bioactivator MA-11 proved more effective in increasing dry matter content, achieving an increase of 2.88%, increasing crude protein to 2.13%, and reducing crude fiber content to 3.71%. Keywords: Bioactivator, Cassava Cobs, EM-4, Fermentation, MA-11.

Abstract

Household food security stands as a strategic issue in agricultural development, particularly in rural areas. One viable measure to enhance food security is through the utilization of agricultural biotechnology and the strengthening of community institutions, specifically Women Farmer Groups (Kelompok Wanita Tani or KWT). This study aims to analyze the role of agricultural biotechnology in supporting household food security through the activities of Women Farmer Groups in Samudera District, North Aceh Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. Primary data were collected via structured questionnaires distributed to KWT members, while secondary data were obtained from relevant agencies and literature reviews. Data analysis was performed descriptively and inferentially to delineate the level of agricultural biotechnology adoption and the respondents' household food security status. The results indicated that the adoption level of agricultural biotechnology among KWT members ranged from moderate to high categories; the most widely utilized technologies included biofertilizers, high-yielding varieties, and microbe-based organic matter management. The majority of respondent households were classified as food secure, whereas a small proportion remained in vulnerable and food-insecure conditions. Furthermore, the findings indicated a positive correlation between the adoption level of agricultural biotechnology and household food security status. This demonstrates that the active involvement of women in KWT, combined with the utilization of agricultural biotechnology innovations, plays a pivotal role in enhancing food availability, access, and utilization at the household level. This study is expected to serve as a basis for policy formulation regarding women's empowerment and sustainable agricultural development in rural areas. Keywords: Agricultural Biotechnology; Women Farmer Groups; Household Food Security.
