This study aimed to assess the effect of rice green folder on growth performance in Khmer native x Hariana crossbred cattle. Twelve males of Khmer native x Harian crossbred cattle were assigned an initial body weight of 190±10 kg (IBW) with 62 days of feeding regimen and an average of 15 months of age. The dietary treatments were assigned in a completely randomized design (CRD), with three treatments of four replications, each containing four cows. Feeding treatments were as follows: 1) 100% commercial feed (Control), 2) 50% commercial feed + 50% natural grasses (NG-50), and 3) 50% commercial feed + 50% rice green folder (RGF-50). Cows were fed at 1.5% Body weight of dry matter (DM). The results indeed showed that the initial body weight (IBW) and final body weight (FBW) were non-significantly different (P>0.05). The Control group consumed the total feed intake between the groups NG-50 at 6.58 kg and 6.85 kg, which were similar amounts but higher than RGF-50, which was 5.79 kg daily a head (linear increased <0.05). Nevertheless, average daily gain (ADG) in Control, NG-50, and RGF-50 was linearly increased (P<0.05) as the ADG was 0.58, 0.46, and 0.39kg/head. FCR in the NG-50 and RGF-50 were in the same row and higher than Control, with the precious value in both NG-50 and RGF-50 at 14.90 higher than 11.45 Control (P<0.001). In conclusion, RGF-50 was a suitable roughage supply for feedlot cattle and could improve economic effectiveness. Thus, RGF was recommended for further study.

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%.

Climate change is noticeable but the impact and the change are not easily detected. The most pronounced and easily detected climate change is air temperature changes, which affect both the state of natural ecosystems and human social life. Increasing climate and weather variability and extreme climate events affect human life and natural systems more detrimental than the effect of climate change in the form of climate means. This study aims to determine the change in air temperature and the presence of extreme air temperature during the last 37 years. Data of average air temperature (AAT), maximum air temperature (MAT), and minimum air temperature (MiAT) from 1985 to 2022 from the P. Baai Station and Fatmawati Station were used. Trendline analysis were performed to find an increasing trend of air temperature, while the frequency distribution analysis was performed to find extreme climate even. The study concluded that AAT in the City of Bengkulu increase about 0.026oC yr-1 , the MAT increase about 0.005oC yr-1, and the MiAT increase 0.025oC yr-1 during the last 37 years. The extreme climate event however, neither low nor high air temperature was detected. The AAT, MAT and MiAT at present are 26.4oC, 31.3oC, and 21.3oC, respectively.

Inorganic fertilizers have played a vital role in increasing crop production. However, its application in high doses caused adverse impacts on soil and plant production, as well as human health. The study aims to evaluate the beneficial effects of organic fertilizer in supporting sustainable plant growth and production and increasing economic value. The study was conducted from July to October 2022 in Poncokusumo, Kabupaten Malang. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) consisting of ten combination treatments with three times replication. The fertilizer combination includes GOF (250, 500, 750, and 1000 kg ha-1), Phonska (250 and 300 kg ha-1), and Urea 300 kg ha-1. Our results showed that application of GOF at a dose of 750-1000 kg ha-1 GOF + 250/300 kg ha-1 Phonska + 300 kg ha-1 Urea plays a role in increasing growth (height, number of leaves and stem diameter) and yields ha-1 sweet corn. The treatment of 1000 kg ha-1 GOF + 300 kg ha-1 Phonska + 300 kg ha-1 Urea (T8) gave the highest yield reaching 21.70 tons ha-1. The combination of GOF treatment with inorganic fertilizer (T2-T9) produces RAE values that meet the criteria for cultivation effectiveness, ranging from 128-163%. Meanwhile, the combination of 1000 kg ha-1 GOF with 300 kg ha-1 Phonska fertilizer and 300 kg ha-1 Urea (T8) fertilizer showed the highest R/C and B/C ratio values, 1.65 and 0.65. Reducing the Phonska dose by 50 kg ha-1, followed by increasing the GOF dose, can increase income. Overall, the GOF application can help increase productivity and economic benefits in sweet corn cultivation.

After years of mono-cropping and farmland expansion, Cambodia faces soil degradation, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. Conservation Agriculture (CA) could improve the Cambodian situation. Among the CA approaches, permanent soil organic cover, like cover crops, decreases soil erosion, suppresses pests and diseases, and increases yields. Currently, in Cambodia, CA practices are mainly implemented in cash crops, such as soybean, corn and cassava, leaving marginal-income crops, such as fruit trees, behind. More research about CA in fruit tree production in Cambodia is needed. This study investigates cover crops’ opportunities and constraints in mango and longan orchards and farmers’ knowledge and attitude towards this practice. Mango and longan are a source of subsistence income in the country and, therefore, do generally receive less focus. Qualitative and quantitative data collection was conducted in 2022 in Battambang province. Thirty-nine semi-structured household interviews were led in nine villages of Rattanak Mondoul and Banan districts, with CA-, CT- (conventional) and CT (CA*)- (previous CA, now CT) farmers. Two Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were led in the Sangha and Borun villages of Rattanak Mondoul districts. Key informant interviews and a literature review were used to gather data. The results showed that most farmers do not know the definition of CA. CA- and CT (CA*)-farmers are satisfied with applying cover crops and recommend CT farmers to grow them. CT farmers are willing to start growing cover crops in their orchards. The main reasons for farmers to start growing cover crops are weed presence, low soil fertility and high erosion in the orchards. Farmers have noticed an improvement in their orchards and fruit yield since they started growing cover crops. Farmers believe more training and technical support about CA and covering crops are needed. This might also attract more farmers to these approaches, increasing the adoption of CA techniques, improving Cambodian agriculture and reducing soil degradation, deforestation and biodiversity loss.

Begomovirus infection, which causes yellow leaf curl disease, is commonly found in the Bengkulu province, affecting various plants, including chilli, melon, cucumber, papaya, and weeds. The viruses reported to date in long bean plants include Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). This study aimed to detect viruses in long bean samples collected from Musi Rawas (South Sumatra) and North Bengkulu (Bengkulu), areas where yellow mosaic symptoms resembling those caused by Begomovirus infection were observed. Virus detection was performed using PCR-based DNA analysis with specific MYMIV (MY1/MY2) primers, targeting a DNA fragment of approximately 238 bp. The results revealed that yard-long bean plants from Musi Rawas were positively infected with MYMIV, while those from North Bengkulu tested negative for MYMIV. Begomovirus or other viral infections may cause the yellow mosaic symptoms observed in North Bengkulu yard long beans. Therefore, further investigations using additional primers are needed to identify the specific virus responsible for the symptoms in this region.

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.
