Abstract

Cilengkrang District is a sub-district in West Java recognized for its potential contribution to Indonesia’s coffee productivity. However, the overall productivity of coffee farming remains relatively low due to inefficiencies in farming practices. The coffee grown in Cilengkrang consists of two types: organic and inorganic.  This research aims to analyze factors that influence coffee production and analyze the level of technical efficiency of coffee farming. The study was conducted in Cilengkrang District, Bandung Regency, chosen purposively for its significant potential to contribute to the region’s coffee productivity. The sample consisted of 34 organic farmers and 34 inorganic farmers. Data collection began in August 2023 and ended in December 2024. The Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method was used to evaluate farming efficiency. The results of the analysis show that the variables of land area, liquid organic fertilizer, urea fertilizer, and KCl fertilizer influence production. Then the variables of education level, number of family members, experience, and financing dummy influence increasing farming efficiency. The efficiency level of coffee farming is included in the inefficient category.

Abstract

One of the primary challenges faced by government policies concerning agricultural commodities is maintaining food price stability. Instability in food prices can have significant economic, political, and social repercussions. This study provides an in-depth analysis of rice price fluctuations on a daily basis, offering a clearer understanding of rice price volatility in Medan. Through seasonality and volatility analysis, this research examines the changing trends in rice prices and their associated fluctuations. It is revealed that rice prices in Medan peak in February, and  the lowest rice prices occur in December. The rice prices were more volatile before the pandemic than after it. During the pre-pandemic period, the correlation between the prices of various food items was relatively low, meaning that the prices of different commodities were not strongly linked. However, in the post-pandemic period, the correlation between rice prices and other food items in Medan became more significant, suggesting that the prices of rice were more closely tied to those of other essential foodstuffs. Although rice price volatility in Medan is generally low throughout most of the year, the government should focus particular attention on the months between October and February, when volatility tends to be higher due to factors such as seasonal demand spikes and external influences like weather conditions. By proactively managing supply and demand, ensuring adequate rice stocks, and supporting local rice production, the Medan government can more effectively navigate periods of heightened volatility and ensure that rice prices remain stable and affordable for all consumers

Abstract

Forest areas are where the most advanced water and air cycles occur and cannot be replaced by any man-made products. For this reason, Indonesians' lives and forest lands are inextricably linked as economic resources. Deforestation also occurs at a considerable rate in East Kutai Regency. Changes in the area of forest land, which is continuously decreasing, followed by a growth in land area for other uses, including mining and plantations, serve as examples of this circumstance. To determine whether the conversion of this area is genuinely balanced between measures to protect the environment and the health of the soil and its economic value, more research must be done. One way to find out is to examine soil respiration in several locations. The purpose of the research was to compare soil respiration levels in three types of land cover in East Kutai Regency. The data collection method involves taking 0 – 30 cm depth of soil sample at three points in three locations, namely Rubber plantation, Teak plantation and Botanical Gardens. The total soil microorganism count is determined by soil organic carbon. The overall number of soil microorganisms increases with soil organic matter. Next, the soil samples are tested in the laboratory for colony total number. The study's findings indicated that the teak plantation had the lowest soil respiration, at21.37±0.9, and the Botanical Garden location had the highest, at29.87±1.91. The high total number of soil microorganisms makes respiration high because it produces high CO2, which is caused by the high activity of the microorganisms in the soil.

Abstract

Cocoa plantations in Central Sulawesi have experienced a decline in productivity due to many plants starting to age, pest and disease attacks, and minimal application of technology. Limited capital causes these problems to be challenging to solve, so the solution is to take credit loan capital. However, many farmers still need to be convinced to take credit. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the differences in cocoa farming income with and without credit and the factors influencing farmers' decisions to take credit. The data used is secondary data from the 2013 Agricultural Census: 2014 Plantation Household Survey. Descriptive analysis is used to describe the characteristics of cocoa farmers in Central Sulawesi. Quantitative analysis is used for farm income analysis, propensity score matching, and logistic regression. The research found that credit positively influenced the income of cocoa farmers in Central Sulawesi. However, it was insignificant because credit was not entirely used to finance productive farming. Factors influencing cocoa farmers' decision to take credit in Central Sulawesi are participation in extension services, cooperative membership, farmer group membership, farmer education level, and land area.

Abstract

The global demand for functional food products is on the rise, with probiotic beverages, including water kefir and kombucha, emerging as the preferred options among consumers. Water kefir is produced through the fermentation of sugar-based solutions by water kefir grains and contains an extensive variety of probiotic microorganisms. Cascara, also known as coffee skin, has been recognized as a viable raw material for functional beverages that possess high antioxidant content. Nonetheless, a comprehensive understanding of the alterations in chemical compounds within cascara during the fermentation process remains insufficient, especially regarding the development of water kefir probiotic beverages. This study aims to identify changes in chemical profiles that occur during fermentation of cascara-based water kefir. The research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) method with fermentation times of 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The results showed significant increases in total acidity, with lactic acid rising from 2.25% to 8.10% and acetic acid from 1.50% to 5.40%, which correlated with a decrease in pH. Total phenolic content increased from 366.70 mg/L to 514.91 mg/L, while flavonoid content decreased from 703.12 mg/L to 265.62 mg/L. Additionally, tannin and caffeine contents increased significantly during fermentation, on the other hand the sugar content decreased over time. These findings suggest that fermentation enhances the bioactive potential of cascara-based water kefir, improving its antioxidant capacity while altering its flavor and chemical composition. This research contributes to the understanding of cascara's potential for probiotic beverages, providing valuable insights for the development of functional beverages. The suggestion for further research is the need to identify the bioactive effect of cascara water kefir beverages products on health benefit.

Abstract

Farmers have applied fertilization but have not achieved optimal vegetative growth of Tejakula tangerine plants. This study aims to find a combination of fertilization packages that can provide the best response to vegetative growth and improve the soil quality of Tejakula tangerine plants after moving to the field. The research was conducted in Tembok Village, Tejakula District, Buleleng Regency, Bali from  July to December 2023. The experiment used a one-factor Randomized Block Design (RBD) with fertilization package treatment consisting of 3 levels, namely: 5 kg cow manure per tree, 5 kg cow manure + mycorrhizal biofertilizer 20 spores/50 g volcanic sand carrier + probiotic liquid organic fertilizer 20% concentration per tree and 5 kg cow manure + urea 50 g + SP-36 25 g + KCl 20 g per tree. Each treatment was repeated 8 times, resulting in 24 experimental units. Observational data were analyzed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test, and further tests were carried out using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The results showed that the fertilizer package treatment had a very significant effect on the variable number of primary branches and leaf P nutrient content, significantly affected the variable number of plant stem diameter and leaf chlorophyll content, but had no significant effect on the variable number of plant height, relative water content (RWC) of leaves and leaf color. The package of cow manure + inorganic fertilizer influenced the vegetative growth of Tejakula tangerine after transplanting to the field very significantly on the increase in primary branches, significantly influenced the increase in plant stem diameter and leaf chlorophyll content. The organic fertilization package + mycorrhizal biofertilizer + probiotic liquid organic fertilizer can improve the soil quality of Tejakula tangerine plants.

Abstract

Research in the form of bioremediation through Bacillus sp. and VAM tests to degrade nickel and chromium needs to be carried out to obtain the best formula for plant growth. Thus, this research has the following objectives: (1) to obtain the best treatment of soil heavy metal bioremediator (2) to reuse post-mining land into productive land for cultivated plants. The research method will be divided into two activities (1) provision of bioremediator formula and (2) testing of bioremediator formulation on cultivated plants. Based on the study's results, 150 ml Bacillus/plant (A3) has the highest effectiveness in reducing chromium by 0.922% in the soil. While the best formula for reducing nickel is 75 grams of VAM (A6) with a reduction capacity of 0.924%. All treatments on sorghum samples on each chromium and nickel produced values <1, this shows that sorghum only absorbs heavy metals and does not accumulate much of all chromium and nickel heavy metals. Parameters of plant height, number of leaves, wet weight, and dry weight with the DMRT at the α = 5% level showed a very significant effect on the treatment of VAM (A6) 75 grams. Bacillus sp and VAM can be used as a bioremediator agent for cultivated plants planted on post-mining soil.

Abstract

Consumer preferences for vegetables reflect the decision to buy them in traditional vs contemporary marketplaces, impacted by several circumstances. This article analyzes the impact of pricing, product quality, product completeness, facilities, and services on vegetable purchasing in modern and traditional marketplaces, utilizing the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach within the Smart-PLS 4.0 program. The research utilized primary data collected from 96 participants across six modern and traditional marketplaces in Medan City. The findings of this study reveal disparities in the factors influencing traditional and modern marketplaces. In conventional marketplaces, price, product variety, and service substantially influence customer preferences for vegetables, although product quality and amenities do not significantly impact these choices. In contemporary marketplaces, product quality, facilities, and services substantially influence customer preferences for purchasing vegetables, although price and product completeness have no major impact on these choices. Affordability, product comprehensiveness, and service quality are essential considerations for consumers shopping in traditional marketplaces. This component must be sustained to be competitive in contemporary markets. Moreover, amenities are a crucial issue to consider for the coexistence of traditional markets alongside modern marketplaces.

Abstract

The conversion of land to dry land promotes the use of local rice varieties capable of withstanding drought conditions, thus contributing to the development of sustainable agricultural practices. The anthocyanin content of pigmented rice may confer a greater resilience to cell damage caused by drought conditions than white rice. This study aims to evaluate the vegetative characteristics of local pigmented rice at varying soil water content levels. The study was conducted from June to August 2024 at the Agricultural Laboratory of Sebelas Maret University. Eight rice varieties were utilized, including two control rice varieties, two local white rice varieties, and four local pigmented rice varieties. The experimental design was a completely randomized block design split plot with three blocks and two factorials: eight rice varieties and four levels of soil water content. Data analysis was conducted using the ANOVA, Duncan, and regression tests. The findings indicated that Hitam Cempo and Merah Wangi exhibited optimal growth at a lower soil water content of field capacity (25% FC) than white rice and IR64 control. Hitam Mutiara and Merah Wangi exhibited optimal responses at 75% and 50% FC, respectively, compared to the white rice and IR64 control varieties. Leaf rolling scores increased in black and red rice as soil water content decreased compared to white rice. The research findings indicate that, based on the vegetative characteristics of local pigmented rice, it has the potential to be more drought tolerant than white rice. Further research on testing physiological and biochemical resistance traits is needed to support the development of rice types that can be planted in dry land.
