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.

Abstract

Cinnamon is a leading commodity in Jambi Province and one of Indonesia's primary export commodities. However, the potential of this commodity is not entirely optimal. Many products are marketed in raw form, which limits added value and competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the added value produced by each member of the cinnamon supply chain and formulate a strategy for developing this commodity in Jambi Province. The informants to find out the added value of cinnamon in this study amounted to 105 people who were selected purposively. The number of informants to formulate a strategy for developing cinnamon commodities in Jambi Province is five people who are considered experts. Qualitative analysis was collected through surveys, in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. In contrast, quantitative analysis included the calculation of profitability ratios to assess added value at each stage of the supply chain, as well as IFE and EFE matrix analysis to identify internal and external factors that affect the competitiveness of Jambi cinnamon.  The study results show that farmers who sort products get higher profits than those who sell in raw form. Traders and exporters derive the most tremendous nominal gains due to economies of scale. The recommended strategies for developing cinnamon commodities in Jambi Province include increasing production capacity, diversifying products, government support, and improving infrastructure to increase the competitiveness of Jambi cinnamon in the global market.

Abstract

Climate change is a phenomenon of changes in global temperatures, seasons and erratic rainfall that have an impact on human activities, change people's lives, and etc. This research uses a quantitative survey method. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to obtain an overview of information, sources of information, perceptions and adaptation of farmers and logistic regression to determine the factors that influence farmers' climate change adaptation practices. The results showed that 67% of farmers felt climate change by relying on climate change information sources from newspapers/TV 42%, extension workers 28%, internet 16%, and friends/relatives 14%. Based on farmers' perceptions with a likert scale of 1= unchanged, 2=slightly changed 3=changed a lot, 4=very changed, climate change with many changing categories found in rainfall season (2.76) dry and rainy season (2.64), air temperature (2.63), length of rainy season (2.69), pest and disease attack (2.79), while the length of dry season changed slightly (2.46) with the most impact felt by farmers is the attack of pests and diseases that increase in longer rainy season. These findings imply that farmers, community organizations, and governments must be aware of climate change in order to mitigate the impact of losses on the rice crop agriculture sector. Farmers will benefit tremendously from the farmer adaptation process, group engagement, and government climate policies such as providing drought and flood-climate-resistant cultivars, early warning systems, facilities, and infrastructure.

Abstract

Tomatoes are a popular commodity in Indonesia, with demand increasing every year. The lack of production compared to the demand for tomato commodities requires steps to increase production, one of which is by providing a booster in the form of a natural growth regulator. This study used a Split Plot Design (2x5) with a basic design of Randomized Group Design. The main plot was Tomato Plant Variety, which consisted of two types, namely Fortuna Variety and Servo F1 Variety. The subplots were natural growth regulators consisting of five types: Water, GA3 100 ppm, Sweet Corn Extract equivalent to 100 ppm GA3, Shallot Extract equivalent to 100 ppm, and Moringa Leaf Extract equivalent to 100 ppm GA3. The results showed that the Fortuna tomato variety gave the best results in the parameters of dry weight of biomass per plant and chlorophyll content, while the application of moringa leaf extract gave the best results in the parameter of leaf area.

Abstract

Insects as a component of the rice field ecosystem have an important role in the food web, namely as herbivores, carnivores (predators and parasitoids) and detritivores. This research aims to examine insect diversity in new rice fields. The research was carried out by taking insect samples using yellow traps, farm cops, pitfalls and light traps. The collected insects are then identified in the laboratory. The research results showed that 28 species of insects were obtained using the yellow trap, 34 species of farmcop, five species of pitfall and seven species of light trap. The composition of insects based on their role is 49% herbivores, 29% natural enemies (22% predators and 7% parasitoids), and 22% other insects. Insect diversity index 3.28 with evenness 0.91. The insects found in the new rice fields are 9 orders, 32 families, 41 species and 1317 individuals consisting of herbivores, natural enemies and other insects.  Insect diversity is relatively high, with an even distribution of species. The results obtained can be used for pest management in rice plantations.

Abstract

Carrots are a horticultural agricultural product with good prospects for development in East Java with a harvest area of 4,495 Ha and production of 8,9847 Tons. Apart from that, the increase in carrot consumption figures increased from 2021 by 1,354 kg.capita-1.year-1 to 1,429 kg.capita-1.year-1 in 2022. However, the productivity of carrot farming in East Java experiences fluctuations every year, which is influenced by production factors, so it cannot keep up with ever-increasing demand. This research aims to determine the level of technical efficiency of carrot farming and the factors that influence it. The methods used are Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Tobit regression. The research was conducted in Sumberbrantas and Wonokerso villages for 3 months, from July 2023 to October 2023. Sampling using the simple random sampling method. The research results show that carrot farming in East Java has still not reached the full level of technical efficiency, with an average VRS of 0.826. The opportunity to increase technical efficiency is 0.174 by improving the input combination to suit already technically efficient farmers. Factors that significantly influence the technical efficiency of carrot farming in East Java are land area, experience, and dummy land ownership status. Meanwhile, age, education and number of family dependents do not significantly influence the level of technical efficiency.

Abstract

Microgreens are young seedlings of edible vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Growing media plays a vital role in plant growth and the biosynthesis of multiple metabolites that improve the nutritional profile of microgreen. This study evaluated the effect of growing media from a combination of soil, husk charcoal, and perlite with a specific ratio of 1:1:1 (TAP 111), 2:1:1 (TAP 211), 1:2:1 (TAP 121), and 1:1:2 (TAP 112) on the nutrition profile and fresh weight of several microgreen plants, including water spinach, red spinach, green mustard, red lettuce, green spinach, and bok choy. The nutrient contents of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the growing media were quantified in this study. The data analysis was performed using Duncan’s multiple range test to assess the quantity of vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidant capacity, and fresh weight at a 5% confidence level. The results showed that TAP121 media exhibited moderate levels of nitrogen (0.23%), very high phosphorus (238.68 ppm), and high potassium (324.69 ppm. The highest vitamin A was found in red spinach in TAP111 (27.77 mg 100 g-1) and TAP112 (22.72 mg 100 g-1) media. The highest vitamin C was found in green mustard in TAP111 media (66.44 mg 100 g-1) and in bok choy in TAP112 media (61.25 mg 100 g-1). The highest antioxidant capacity was found in Bok choy in TAP121 media (386.4 mg AAEAC 1000 g-1) and the highest fresh weight was found in water spinach in  TAP121 media (4.03 g). In conclusion, TAP121 media can be recommended to support the balanced growth and nutritional quality of microgreen plants, especially bok choy, and water spinach. This study provides insights into how specific combinations of growing media can enhance the growth and nutritional content of microgreens. Future studies could focus on optimizing nutrient levels and environmental conditions to maximize the antioxidant properties and other bioactive compounds in microgreens.
