Abstract

The implementation of subsidized fertilizer policies has been implemented in Indonesia since the 1970s until now. The government's policy of spending a budget to subsidize fertilizer prices has yet to be able to encourage increased productivity of agricultural products. This indicates that the government's efforts in input price subsidies must be more effective in stabilizing rice productivity in terms of the subsidized fertilizer policy expenditure budget. The objectives of this research are 1) to analyze the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer distribution and 2) to analyze the effect of using urea and NPK fertilizers on farmers who receive fertilizer subsidies for rice production. This research uses primary data by directly interviewing respondent farmers in Kertajati District and Majalengka District, Majalengka Regency. The assessment of the effectiveness of the subsidized fertilizer policy can be measured using six appropriate indicators, namely the exact type, exact quantity, exact price, exact place, exact time, and exact quality. The effect of urea and NPK fertilizers was analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function with the ordinary least squares method. This research found that the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer distribution in Majalengka District has a percentage level of effectiveness above 74.2% (quite effective). Analysis of the effect of using urea and NPK fertilizer shows that the independent variables that positively and significantly influence rice production are seeds, use of urea fertilizer, and labor. Different things happen to the NPK fertilizer, and using a mixture of subsidized and non-subsidized fertilizers has no significant effect on rice production.

Abstract

This research looks at how the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) organic rice growing system affects the well-being of farmers in Baula District, Kolaka Regency. The study looks at income, productivity, production costs, and farmers' views on stakeholder support in order to fill in the gaps in the scant empirical evidence on the socio-economic advantages of SRI-organic practices in Indonesia. We used a quantitative technique using a survey method and comparative descriptive analysis with 56 respondents who were chosen for a specific reason (28 organic SRI farmers and 28 conventional farmers). Farm income computation, the Independent Sample T-Test, and the Likert-scale-based perception analysis were some of the analytical methods used. The results showed that organic SRI farmers earned an average income of Rp125,195,859.00 ha⁻¹ season⁻¹, significantly higher than inorganic farmers (Rp25,874,641 ha season-1). Organic SRI land productivity was recorded at 7,493.16 kg ha-1, more efficient than the inorganic system (6,106.58 kg/ha). Although the production cost of SRI is higher, the economic value is still more profitable due to the higher selling price of organic grain and input efficiency. Farmers' perception of the role of stakeholders is also classified as "high", with an average Likert score of 4.37. They said that training, help with inputs, and access to markets were the most important components, and PT Vale Indonesia, agricultural extension staff, and local government helped make these things happen. These results show how important it is for institutions to work together to improve technical and economic outcomes. This research shows how useful SRI-organic systems may be as a model for community-based, sustainable agriculture that can be scaled up to enhance the lives of people in rural areas.

Abstract

Food is one of the basic human needs that should be available at all times. To fulfill the role of in a region, the concept of food security is established to measure sufficiency, availability and quality of food. Food security for a country is expressed using Food Security Index (FSI). FSI score for a country reflects its ability for survival. It is therefore very important to measure the score and be able to predict future score to enable control and improvement. To realize the improvement of Indonesia's food security, a model is needed to predict the Food Security Index in Indonesia. This This paper explores the models using data from the Indonesian Food Security and Vulnerability Atlas (FSVA) at the Regency and City levels in 2018-2024 period with a total of 3,598 records. We evaluated Multiple Linear Regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator, Random Forest, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Regression, and Ensemble Machine Learning models for predicting the FSI score. The models are evaluated using r-squared (R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The results shows that the XGBoost method is the best method for predicting the Food Security Index in Indonesia with an R2 value of 0.912, RMSE of 0.053, and MAE of 0.037. Meanwhile, the ensemble machine learning method provides an R2 value of 0.79, RMSE of 0.083, and MAE of 0.063. In addition, the XGBoost method predicts the Food Security Index score in 2025 to be 75.56 and in 2026 to be 75.48.

Abstract

The local ecological knowledge of coffee agroforestry farmers regarding earthworms serves as one of the soil fauna indicators of soil fertility and quality. This knowledge is inherited through generations from observations and experiences of coffee farmers, sometimes differing from modern ecological knowledge. This study aims to analyze the relationship between farmers Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) in simple coffee agroforestry systems and their socio-demographic characteristics; to examine their understanding of the ecological roles of earthworms and Lepidiota stigma; and to identify and assess the gap between Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) and Modern Ecological Knowledge (MEK). Local ecological knowledge was obtained through in-depth interviews with coffee agroforestry farmers concerning soil management, the role of earthworms, and pests in maintaining soil quality on the slopes of Mount Tambora (NTB). In-depth interviews were conducted with key respondents and coffee agroforestry farmers grouped by gender, age, and educational background using predetermined questions. Based on interviews with 50 coffee farmers, the percentages of soil quality indicators recognized by them ranked as follows: earthworms (80%), soil color (74%), plant growth (36%), humus or litter (10%), and soil structure (6%). Furthermore, 72% (n=50) of coffee farmers indicated that soil organisms significantly influence soil fertility. This study highlights the scientific value of Local Ecological Knowledge in sustainable soil management and encourages its integration with modern science through participatory research.

Abstract

Early-stage oil palm seedlings require organic fertilizer as a growth biostimulant to produce healthy seedlings with optimal growth. Providing oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) compost in a planting medium supplies nutrients, improves the medium, and introduces the biological agent Trichoderma harzianum. The purpose of this study was to analyze how the interaction of NPK fertilizer and T. harzianum-enriched OPEFB compost affected the growth of oil palm seedlings. This study used a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two treatments: three levels of NPK fertilizer (2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 g. plant-1) and four levels of T. harzianum-enriched OPEFB compost (0, 300, 600, and 900 g. plant-1). The results showed that the interaction of NPK fertilizer and T. harzianum-enriched OPEFB compost only affected root fresh weight, while the independent test revealed that NPK fertilizer affected plant height, number of leaves, and stem diameter. OPEFB compost affected plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and shoot fresh weight. The application of NPK 2.5 g. plant-1 and T. harzianum-enriched OPEFB compost at a dose of 300 g. plant-1 independently contributed positively to the growth of oil palm seedlings during the pre-nursery stage, where NPK fertilizer was not needed in large amounts. Additionally, the release of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) nutrients occurred gradually, making them slowly accessible to plants.

Abstract

Cashew is one of Indonesia's leading commodities as an exporting country because it has a positive trade specialization index. The main pest of cashew plants that affects production and can cause crop failure is the Cashew Planthopper (WPM). Cashew Planthopper has several species. Therefore, monitoring is needed to determine the types of WPM in the field and their distribution areas on the mainland of East Flores Regency. This study was conducted from May 2024 to July 2024 by directly capturing WPM imago. The results of a survey of cashew plantation locations in East Flores Regency, 5 locations were determined with high levels of attack due to WPM, which caused crop failure, namely: Ile Mandiri District, Lewolema District, Tanjung Bunga District, Titehena District, and Demon Pagong District. The trapped WPM were then identified by looking at the characteristics of the wings, thorax, and abdomen. The identification results obtained 2 types of WPM from the genus Sanurus, namely, Sanurus flavovenosus and Sanurus indecora. The distribution area of the attack and the level of damage to Sanurus from each district have different intensities with different levels of damage, namely the intensity of heavy damage in red is in Titehena District 53.04%, the intensity of moderate damage in yellow is in Lewolema District 20.65%, Ile Mandiri District 36.91% and Demon Pagong District 36.94% while the intensity of light damage in green is in Tanjung Bunga District 0.55%.

Abstract

The pandemic has shifted societal behavior towards a healthier lifestyle, with 7 out of 10 people in Indonesia desiring healthy food. Malang City, as one of the cities in East Java with many universities, has a significant Gen-Z population influencing the economic activities in the healthy food sector. This study explores the relationship between Perceived Risk and Purchase Decisions and the moderating role of Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM) among students in Malang City. Using quantitative methods and SEM-PLS analysis with 100 101 students from Universitas Brawijaya as respondents gathered through questionnaires, this study found that Perceived Risk significantly affects healthy food purchase decisions, and E-WOM is a significant moderating variable in this relationship. The study provides strategic recommendations for marketing and policies related to healthy food, including financial risk control through regular product price evaluations, the creation of social trends to reduce negative stigma among Gen-Z, improved production and delivery efficiency to speed up product reception, and maximizing the role of E-WOM through promoting positive reviews and educational content on social media to build a positive image and increase consumer loyalty.

Abstract

Climate change contributes to greater drought severity, leading to the decline of crop production. This study aims to evaluate the role of silica in onion production under water-deficient conditions.  The research was conducted at the Technical Implementation Unit Benih Induk Palawija in Tanjung Selamat, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra Province. Randomized Block Design with factorial arrangement was employed in this study, comprising 4 different doses of silica (0, 0.48, 0.96 and 1.44 g per plant) at 3 different levels of drought (40, 60 and 80% water holding capacity (WHC)).  The results showed that silica did not give significant results on vegetative growth and its yield, except for its root dry weight and plant wet weight. The best plant development was demonstrated by onions exposed to 80% WHC, followed by plants with 60% and 40% WHC.  The application of silica 0.48 g on onions treated with 60% WHC has a greater increase in the production of onion bulbs.

Abstract

The Citrus Agroedutourism in Samar Village is an effort to optimize local potential by integrating agricultural education with community-based tourism. Despite its strong appeal, this destination faces several challenges, including weak management, limited digital promotion, a shortage of skilled human resources, and inadequate infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the most effective and appropriate development strategies to support sustainable local economic growth. This research adopts a mixed-method approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, documentation, and literature review. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify core themes from participant narratives, which were then mapped into a qualitative SWOT quadrant to formulate context-based development strategies. The findings indicate that Samar Village's main strengths lie in its unique citrus commodity, strong community involvement, and educational tourism appeal. However, weaknesses such as limited expertise, minimal promotion, and financial constraints hinder development. The recommended strategies include human resource training, infrastructure improvement, digital branding enhancement, and multi-stakeholder collaboration involving the village government, BUMDes, and youth organizations. The study concludes that citrus-based agroedutourism has strong potential to serve as a model for sustainable village development that effectively contributes to improving community welfare. These findings offer important managerial implications, including the need for strategic planning based on local potential, institutional capacity building, and the integration of environmental sustainability, community empowerment, and educational tourism promotion.

Abstract

Declining agricultural yields on drylands in Tejakula Subdistrict are largely attributed to poor soil management practices, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive soil quality assessment. This study aims to evaluate soil quality, identify limiting factors, and map the spatial distribution of soil quality to guide appropriate land management strategies. The research was conducted from January to June 2024 across twelve sampling points in ten villages using a purposive sampling technique. Both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were analyzed for physical, chemical, and biological indicators, including bulk density, porosity, soil texture, pH, C-organic, CEC, nutrients (N, P, K), and microbial biomass carbon (C-biomass). The Minimum Data Set (MDS) method and a weighted additive model were applied to calculate the Soil Quality Index (IKT). The results showed that all sampling sites were categorized as having very good soil quality, with IKT scores ranging from 16.3 to 19.6. The study concludes that although soil quality is generally high, targeted management interventions such as organic amendments and balanced fertilization are still necessary to address site-specific limiting factors and ensure land productivity.
