Abstract

Over the past few decades, agricultural land sustainability on the peri-urban areas face a threat to the agricultural land conversion, especially on the peri-urban areas of Pekalongan City. The sustainability of agricultural land is determined by the level of farmers’ perception. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the factors that influence farmers’ perceptions toward agricultural land sustainability in peri-urban areas of Pekalongan City. The peri-urban areas of Pekalongan City were selected by purposive sampling method with a total sample of 90 farm owners and cultivators. Data were analyzed using OLS (Ordinary Least Square) regression model. The results have shown that the factors influencing farmers’ perceptions toward agricultural land sustainability in the peri-urban area of Pekalongan City were farmers’ knowledge, farmers’ land tenure and access to information. Based on the results of the study, the variables of farmers’ knowledge and land tenure had a negative impact, while the access to agricultural information had a positive impact on farmers’ perceptions. These results have the implication for farmers, that their perceptions can be improved by making advances to the quality of agricultural land in the suburbs, reducing both production and price risks and increasing the intensity of counseling or training related to agricultural activities in the suburbs of Pekalongan City.

Abstract

In general, turfgrass grows well and forms high quality turf under full sun exposure. It is very difficult, however, to grow a warm season turfgrass under shaded condition. Zoysia grass is a popular warm season grass that commonly grow under full sun exposure condition. There are limited information regarding the growth response and turf quality of zoysia grass when grown under shaded condition. This study aims to observe the growth and quality of various zoysia grass local cultivars at different shading intensities and different mowing. This research was carried out using 10 zoysia grass cultivars planted in the rice fields’ vertisol clay with randomized complete block design. The shading used were control, shade-nets with 25% and 65% hole densities. Zoysia grass was fertilized using NPK; 4:1:3 and mowed three times. The results showed that plants without shade, 25% and 65% received on average solar irradiance of 25,141; 12,456 and 3,727 lux. The increase in shade level decreased the shoot fresh weight, dry weight, root dry weight and the plant height. Shading and frequent mowing effected the plant height. Mowing has more effect on plant height in 25% shading than in 65% shading. The increase in shading, in mowed grass showed increased plant height and decreased plant dry weight. Mowing three times can reduce plant height in all shades. The grasses under 25% shading resulted the highest plant dry weight; whereas and shading 65% resulted the lowest. Plant dry weight and uniformity of turf were affected by the cultivars.

Abstract

Acclimatization is one of the important processes in banana micro propagation before plantlets/planting materials are ready to be cultivated in the field. Trichoderma sp. are well known as plant promoter fungi that can promote plant growth and increase survival rate of plantlets. The study was arranged in a Completely Randomized Factorial Design with two factors and four replications. The first factors was covering type i.e. 1) individual covering and 2) mass covering. The second factor was the proportion of Trichoderma addition into manure, namely A) manure without the addition of Trichoderma sp. (control), B) Trichoderma sp. : manure = 1 : 400 (w/w), C) Trichoderma sp. : manure = 1 : 800 (w/w) and D) Trichoderma sp. : manure = 1 : 1,200 (w/w). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Trichoderma sp. applications and covering types in the growth of banana plantlets cv. Barangan during the acclimatization process. The results showed that the best treatment to induce plantlet growth during the acclimatization process was the addition of Trichoderma sp.: manure with 1 : 400 (w/w) proportion and individual covering. The combination of Trichoderma sp. : manure with 1 : 400 (w/w) proportion and individual covering produced plant height and leaf length 8.5 cm and 4.4 cm, respectively, compared to the treatment without Trichoderma sp. addition that produced plantlets with 6.6 cm height and 3.4 cm leaf length. No significant interaction was shown between Trichoderma sp. proportions and covering types on leaf width, the number of leaves and root length parameters.

Abstract

Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) is hinged on achieving zero hunger target globally by 2030. Many developing countries, especially African countries, are challenged with extreme hunger that are often caused or compounded by bad governance, conflicts and climate change. In this paper, we assess Africa’s readiness towards attaining the zero hunger target by 2030 in the face of COVID-19 pandemic. Patterns of Global Hunger Index (GHI) and each of its indicators across Africa are compared before the pandemic (2000-2019). The effect of the pandemic on the hunger situation in Africa is discussed by highlighting the mitigating measures put in place by selected African governments. We have found that most African countries have recorded steady reduction in their child mortality rates but high prevalence of undernourishment, stunting and child wasting indicates significant challenges hampering the achievement of the zero hunger target. The study recommends that African governments should prioritize sustainable agricultural practices and give serious attention to the formulation and implementation of policies that reduce hunger against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Kampong chicken is an indigenous chicken that gains popularity among consumers andit has good potentialsas a livestock commodity. But, the problem is most kampong chicken were kept in free range system without any standard of the rearing procedure and time. The farmers will sell their chickens by market’s requests. The study aims to determine the agribusiness production and marketing sub-system of kampong chickens. A hundred kampong chicken farmers from 9 sub-districts in Batang Regency were interviewed. Respondents were chosen by simple random sampling. Each farmer owned 4-120 kampong chickens with average number of 6.76 heads per farm. The poultry production sub-system consisted of six constituent variables, namely administration/bookkeeping, location, maintenance technology, maintenance system, business continuity and sanitation. Each constituent variable produced score of 1.44; 1.75; 1.68; 2.77; 1.55 and 2.03 respectively with the average value of 1.87. These results indicated that the applications of agribusiness production sub-systems were in the moderate category. The assessment of the marketing sub-system application included five variables namely marketing scale, marketing objectives, marketing technology, market information and pricing with the following scores 1.52, 1.76, 1.41, 1.85 and 1.18 respectively; or have an average value of 1.54. This result showed that the marketing sub-system has a moderate category. Improving the production system which consisted of the bookkeeping record, increase the number of rearing scale and sanitation process would improve farm productivity. Increasing marketing systems such as the application of electronic marketing would improve market efficiency. The results showed that the improvement of production and marketing agribusiness sub-systems are needed in order to increase farmers’ income.

Abstract

Consumer is one of the influential factors in marketing. The study was conducted to analyze the increase in marketing opportunities based on consumer criteria for hydroponic vegetable producers in Surabaya. The research was carried out in Surabaya from Mei to June 2018. This type of research is observational analysis with survey methods on three producers about the relationship between producers and consumers according to their respective producers. Data were analyzed with AHP (Analysis Hierarchy Process) and the process used Expert Choice 2000. Data were examined using descriptive or qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. Quantitative analysis includes a scale of trust and commitment measurement. The distribution of hydroponics vegetables at “Kebunsayur Surabaya” prioritizes ‘restaurant’ and ‘hotel’, “JawaRa Farm” prioritizes ‘kale suppliers’ and “One STOP Hydroponics” prioritizes ‘individual customers’ (vegetable displays).

Abstract

Land conversion has caused the function of the greenbelt for reservoir to be less effective. The management of the greenbelt area is needed to maintain the primary function of the reservoir. Therefore, a vegetation analysis in the greenbelt area is necessary to evaluate the condition of the existing vegetation and community attitude to maintain the greenbelt area. This study aims at identifying the current condition of the greenbelt area and the diversity of vegetation as well as the community attitude at the greenbelt area of multipurpose reservoir of Wonogiri. Vegetation sampling was done by purposive sampling using directed line quadrant method, while community attitude sampling was performed using in-depth interviews. This study found 14 species of vegetation in the greenbelt area. The most significant contribution of vegetation species was shown by the Importance Value Index (IVI), with 14 species of tree in which teak (Tectona grandis L.) was the species with the highest IVI value. The species diversity index was 1.15-1.7 and it was included in the medium category. Reforestation efforts can be continued because the vegetation condition has shown moderate stability. Community attitudes towards the greenbelt largely support the existence of management although people still and will use the land without disturbing the existing plants. The reforestation program that has been carried out in the last few years is expected to be able to restore the greenbelt in support of the reservoir function.
