Abstract

Ngringinrejo star fruit agritourism is one of the Bojonegoro Regency regional tourism development programs, which is expected to develop from year to year to have a significant economic impact on increasing village independence. However, in the last three years, agritourism income has decreased drastically, thus affecting the economic stability of the community. This study aims to analyze the effect of program quality on the effectiveness of development programs through the mediation of information and promotion systems applied in agritourism. This study was conducted from October to November 2023 and used a quantitative method with a questionnaire to obtain information from respondents. It was chosen by probability sampling based on the Statistical Power of 80%, so the minimum number of respondents was 76 star fruit farmers in Ngringinrejo Agritourism, Ngringinrejo Village, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java. The data were analyzed using SEM-PLS, and the result shows a positive and significant influence between program quality and development program effectiveness. Meanwhile, the information and promotion system has no effect and is not significant to the effectiveness of the program, so it is not able to mediate the relationship between program quality and the effectiveness of the program. The effectiveness of the Ngringinrejo agritourism development program in terms of its impact on social, economic, and environmental aspects is considered adequate because it provides benefits for the social development of the community, a decrease in poverty levels with an improvement in the community's economy, and is proven to be able to overcome environmental problems such as soil erosion and flooding.

Abstract

The 11th Global Food Security Index (2022) shows an increase in agriculture risk and a decline in the food environment for the third year which is feared to threaten global food security.  It is urgent to have more concern for food security in advanced and emerging economies, such as Developing Eight (D-8) economies.  This paper analyzes the determinants of agriculture credit supply in D-8’s banking and how they affect agriculture risk.  The study uses panel quarterly time series data from 2013Q01-2022Q04 and cross-section data from 7 countries as members of the Developing Eight (D8) Organization. This study employs the dynamic panel analysis, Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PARDL) - Pooled Mean Group (PMG) approach. The result shows that agriculture credit supply and its explanatory variables have a significant relationship in the long run. Unfortunately, only previous credit supply and agriculture risk contribute to the agriculture credit supply in the short run. The result varies across countries in the short run.  Banking in Indonesia considers agricultural risk by decreasing the agricultural credit supply while banking in Malaysia and Turkey maintains a positive agricultural credit supply despite the increase in agricultural risk.

Abstract

Every policy program that is made needs to be evaluated in order to know its successes and shortcomings, one of which can be done by measuring its effectiveness. This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of the independent farmer card and its effect on improving farmers' welfare. It is a study that uses a quantitative approach. The sample was selected using random sampling using the Slovin formula so that 100 respondents were obtained. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that the effect of the CIPP Model on the effectiveness of the Independent Farmer Card Program (KPM) in Bojonegoro Regency showed positive results. Factors such as monitoring, objectives, socialization, and targeting accuracy of the program contribute to its effectiveness. In addition, improvements in each component of the CIPP Model (Context, Input, Process, Product) were shown to increase the program's effectiveness, which also significantly impacted the welfare of farmers in the area.

Abstract

Unpredictable climate change impacts several sectors, one of which is the agricultural sector. Extreme climate change causes a decrease in farmer production. The Serayu movable dam area is an area that is prone to flooding, where farmers around this area own land. Farmers can make anticipatory efforts to overcome losses farmers suffer to adapt to the management system and farmer resilience. This study aims to analyze the farm management and factors influencing farmers' adaptation strategies to climate change in the Serayu Dam area. The research was conducted using a descriptive quantitative analytical method. This study used 30 rice farmers as respondents in the Serayu movable dam area. The data analysis method used farm business analysis and logistic regression. The results of the study also stated that the rice farming carried out by farmers earned a profit of IDR 7,639,324 with a total income received by farmers of IDR 10,726,000 and a total farmer expenditure of IDR 3,086,676. Farmers in the Serayu movable dam area have also experienced a decrease in crop production due to climate change. The adaptation strategy carried out by farmers is to postpone or advance planting based on the pranoto mongso used. The results of the study also stated that factors influence farmers' adaptation strategies, namely farmer education, farmer experience, farmer profession as the main job and farmer activity in farmer groups.

Abstract

Salinity, prevalent abiotic stress, has substantially restricted soybean production worldwide. This intricate environmental factor disrupts various physiological and biochemistry processes in soybean plants and ultimately diminishes yields. This experiment was conducted to report the damaging effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) given to the soil through watering at different levels (0, 50, and 100 mM NaCl) and to explore the impact of foliar spraying ascorbic acid to reduce the adverse effects of salinity at different levels (0, 400, 600, and 800 ppm). This study showed that the impact of salinity level significantly reduced gas exchange parameters, number of stomata, content of AsA, shoot dry weight, and root dry weight. The salinity also caused an increase in electrolyte leakage. Foliar application of ascorbic acid alleviated salinity-induced plant stress by increasing the number of stomata and root dry weight.

Abstract

Effective waste management is a crucial responsibility of the government to protect the environment and public health. Failure in waste management, particularly in densely populated and flood-prone areas, can lead to environmental disasters such as river sedimentation and major flooding. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of the Pungpungan Village community regarding household waste management along the riverbanks and to formulate an ideal and sustainable management strategy. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. The total sample for this study comprised 40 households, which were selected through simple random sampling. In addition, purposive sampling was applied based on specific criteria to select samples according to the community's background and role. The primary data collection techniques in this study included interviews and observations. For secondary data, the research relied on literature reviews and documents, including those from the Pungpungan Village Government Office and library studies. The data analysis in this study employed SWOT analysis. The results indicate that although the community has good knowledge of the 3R concept (reduce, reuse, recycle) and the negative impacts of improper waste disposal, the practice of transforming waste into economically valuable products remains limited. The ideal strategy involves increasing education, providing infrastructure, and enforcing sanitation regulations to achieve sustainable waste management. The implications of this study suggest that a participatory approach, coupled with adequate infrastructure support facilitated by the village government, can significantly enhance the effectiveness of household waste management and encourage more sustainable behavioral changes in rural communities.

Abstract

The sustainable management of palm oil plantations poses significant challenges, particularly in ensuring long-term efficiency and environmental sustainability. This study explores the impact of using Palm Oil Mill (PKS) waste as an organic fertilizer on enhancing the management efficiency of palm oil plantations. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), we evaluated plantation management efficiency at PT. Padasa Enam Utama over the period 2020-2023. Strengths of the Data Envelopment Analysis model include its objectivity and capacity to rate efficiency using numerical data rather than subjective opinions. The input variables included labor costs, fertilizer use, and land area, while output variables encompassed productivity and financial profits. Results reveal that average efficiency in 2020 was 0.85, categorizing it as “inefficient.” By 2021, efficiency improved to 0.92, achieving a “moderately efficient” status, and further rose to 0.95 in 2022, reaching “efficient” status. In 2023, efficiency slightly decreased to 0.94, though it remained within the efficient range. Findings suggest that PKS waste application significantly enhances plantation management efficiency, particularly through optimizing input and output variables. Additionally, employing PKS waste as organic fertilizer provides an eco-friendly alternative that reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers, contributing to sustainable farming practices. Research implications can contribute to supporting policies on the utilization of PKS waste to support more sustainable oil palm plantations.

Abstract

Zinc is an essential micronutrient for the survival of plants. Rice cultivation in Indonesia is primarily conducted on submerged soil, resulting in low zinc availability in rice plants. Applying zinc fertilizer is a method to augment plant nutrients, consequently enhancing rice yield. This study aimed to analyze and determine the best ZnSO4 fertilization dose for yield and zinc concentration in Ciherang, Rojolele and Mentik Wangi rice varieties. This study was conducted in the experimental garden of Sebelas Maret University from August 2023 to January 2024. The study was conducted using a 3x5 factorial Randomized Complete Block Design. The first factor was rice varieties consisting of Ciherang, Rojolele, and Mentik Wangi. The second factor was ZnSO4 fertilization consisting of doses of 0 kg.ha-1, 12 kg.ha-1, 16 kg.ha-1, 20 kg.ha-1, and 24 kg.ha-1. Statistical analysis in this study used ANOVA with a significance level of 5% and DMRT with a significance level of 5%. Zinc sulfate heptahydrate (ZnSO4) foliar application significantly differs in rice's zinc concentration. Mentik wangi rice variety (V3) was given dose 4 (D4) (24 kg.ha-1) is the best combination to increase the zinc concentration in rice by 40.01 ppm compared to no zinc fertilization treatment.
