Abstract

Introduction: Sourdough bread has gained popularity due to its nutritional and sensory benefits, with lactic acid bacteria fermentation improving digestibility, glycemic response, and bioactive compound availability. The incorporation of nutrient-dense superfood leaf flours such as Moringa oleifera, Sauropus androgynus, and Centella asiatica may further enhance its functional properties. Methods: Sourdough bread was formulated with wheat flour partially substituted by superfood leaf flours at 5%, 10%, and 15% levels. Physical properties were analyzed using a Texture Analyzer (hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, stiffness, etc.), while sensory acceptability (appearance, aroma, taste, texture, and overall preference) was evaluated by 50 untrained panelists. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (α = 5%). Results: Textural analysis showed significant differences across treatments, particularly in hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and stiffness. Higher substitution levels of leaf flour generally increased crumb hardness and chewiness due to reduced gluten structure. Sensory analysis indicated that the control bread (100% wheat flour) received the highest overall rating. Among the modified breads, the 5% Centella asiatica formulation (TP1) was the most preferred, likely because moderate substitution imparted a mild herbal flavor and retained a soft crumb structure, while higher levels reduced sensory acceptability. Conclusion: The incorporation of superfood leaf flours significantly influenced both physical and sensory characteristics of sourdough bread. While control bread was most preferred, 5% Centella asiatica substitution emerged as the optimal formulation among the enriched variants, balancing improved nutritional potential with favorable consumer acceptance.

Abstract

Introduction: Saline soils are characterized by high concentrations of soluble salts and alkaline pH, which limit nutrient availability, particularly phosphorus (P), and reduce soil productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar and microbial inoculants in improving soil chemical properties and P availability under NaCl-induced salinity stress. Methods: The experiment was conducted from December 2024 to March 2025 in a greenhouse using a completely randomized factorial design with two factors: microbial inoculation (control. Pseudomonas sp. and Azotobacter) and biochar types (control, coconut shell, rice husk, mangrove wood and cassava stem) at a rate of 30 tons/ha. Treatments were replicated three times, resulting in 45 experimental units. Soil samples were incubated for 12 weeks with observations every two weeks and analysed for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), available P, and exchangeable Na. Results: The results showed that biochar and microbial inoculants significantly influenced soil pH, EC, and nutrient dynamics. Biochar application reduced EC through ion adsorption and improved soil porosity, while also enhancing P availability via mineral ash contribution and cation exchange processes. Microbial inoculation, particularly Azotobacter, increased P availability through the production of organic acids and phosphatase enzymes, and its effect was more pronounced when combined with biochar. The highest available P was consistently observed in the combination of Azotobacter or Pseudomonas sp and cassava stem biochar. Furthermore, both amendments reduced exchangeable Na, thereby improving soil structure and nutrient balance. Conclusion: In conclusion, the synergistic application of biochar and microbes effectively ameliorates saline soils, enhances phosphorus availability, and represents a sustainable strategy for soil fertility improvement under salinity stress.

Abstract

Introduction: The transformation of agribusiness partnerships in hybrid corn farming has become an important strategy for improving the sustainability of smallholder farming systems. This study aimed to explore the contribution of partnership transformation to the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of community-based hybrid corn farming in the Tani Mulyo Farmer Group, Ponorogo, East Java. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, field observations, and document analysis involving members of the Tani Mulyo Farmer Group and relevant stakeholders. Data credibility was strengthened through triangulation, while thematic analysis was used to identify patterns related to farming sustainability. Results: The findings revealed that partnership transformation enhanced farmers’ access to quality inputs, technical assistance, and market opportunities. The partnership also strengthened social capital through increased trust, group cohesion, and collective learning among members. In addition, farmers demonstrated greater adoption of environmentally sustainable practices, including integrated pest management, balanced fertilization, and soil conservation measures. These changes contributed to improved farming resilience and supported the long-term sustainability of hybrid corn production. Conclusion: Agribusiness partnership transformation plays an important role in strengthening the economic resilience, social capacity, and environmental sustainability of community-based hybrid corn farming. The findings highlight the importance of institutional collaboration in promoting sustainable agricultural development and improving the viability of smallholder farming communities.

Abstract

Introduction: The integration between cattle farming and agricultural crops has long been known as a strategy to improve efficiency in the use of natural resources. The cattle-crop integration system model enables synergy between these two sectors and plays a significant role in increasing farmer income in Madura. This research aims to analyze the role of the Madura cattle-field crop integration model in increasing farmer income. Methods: Samples were selected using purposive sampling technique, with criteria for farmers who have implemented the integration system for at least five years. The sample size was determined based on the availability of data that could be obtained and statistical analysis needs. The analysis method used Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). This design was chosen because SEM-PLS can handle latent variables and test relationships between variables simultaneously. Results: The analysis results show that both cattle maintenance and field crop management contribute significantly to increasing farmer income, with path coefficient values of 0.392 and 0.502 respectively, and T-statistic values > 1.96 (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: An R² value of 0.370 indicates that about 37% of farmers' income variations are explained by this integrated system, while the rest is influenced by external factors outside the model, this result is strong enough to illustrate the strategic role of the integration model in sustainable agribusiness systems.

Abstract

Introduction: Soybeans an important source of vegetable protein. Soybean production in Indonesia is still low and needs to be increased. One strategy is to increase the frequency of planting during the rainy season. Soybean development during the rainy season requires information on genetic diversity and heritability. The purpose of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity and heritability of F3 generation soybean lines planted during the rainy season. Methods: The experiment was used randomized block design (RBD).Tthe Least Significant Increase (LSI) test at the 5% level is used to see the difference in appearance of the test line with the check variety. Genetic parameters was analyzed by estimating genetic and phenotypic variance, and heritability. Results: The results showed that genotype UM002 differed significantly from the check cultivar in seed number per plant, and 100-seed weight showed wide genetic variability with high heritability. Seed length, width, and thickness also showed wide genetic variability with moderate heritability. In contrast, seed yield per plant showed low heritability and narrow genetic variability, suggesting a more substantial environmental influence. Conclusion: UM002 line showed better seed number performance per plant compared to two check varieties, Deja 2 and Detam 4, which can be used as a promising soybean line that is adaptive to the rainy season. The 100-grain weight character showed a high heritability value. This indicates that the 100-grain weight character can be used as a selection criterion for soybeans during the rainy season in an effort to increase selection effectiveness.

Abstract

Introduction: Coconut-based cooperatives in North Maluku play a strategic role in the community economy but face persistent challenges such as low product value-added and limited market access. Integrating value chains and livelihood assets is therefore essential to enhance their institutional performance. Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Primary data were collected from 285 cooperative administrators and members through purposive sampling and structured questionnaires with a five-point Likert scale. Results: Findings indicate that all tested direct effect pathways are statistically significant (t-statistic > 1.960; p-values < 0.05). Specifically, value chain integration and livelihood assets serve as critical mediating variables that bridge the influence of exogenous factors (primary/support activities and various capitals) on cooperative performance. Strong path coefficients highlight the strategic importance of these mediation mechanisms. The results demonstrate that performance is determined not only by internal management but also by strengthened value chain linkages and enhanced member asset capacity. Conclusion: Improving cooperative performance requires a holistic approach that integrates institutional aspects, value chain coordination, and member capacity building. This study offers a theoretical model for commodity-based cooperatives and provides a policy foundation for promoting sustainable rural economic development in North Maluku.
