Abstract

Tejakula District produces fruits that are very popular with the community, but production is not yet optimal because research on land suitability has never been carried out. The aims of this research are (1) to analyze land characteristics against land suitability classes, (2) to create maps of actual and potential land suitability classes, (3) to plan land use, and (4) to provide information systems. The research used a survey and Laboratorium from March to June 2024, taking soil samples. Actual land suitability class for horticultural fruits in Tejakula District is classified as marginally suitable(S3) to not suitable(N) with limiting factors of rainfall,  root condition, pH, N-total, P2O5, slope, and erosion hazard. Improvement efforts are made through soil processing, fertilizing with organic, Urea, and Phonska, improving irrigation, and making terraces. Based on the land suitability, the districts of Tejakula, as the priority, are developed to plant mango and mangosteen with quite suitable land(S2) with limiting factor temperature at Pacung, Sembiran, Bondalem, Tejakula, Tembok Village, and another Village moderately suitable(S2) with limiting factor root condition, slope. Kingfruit and Raspberryplant are quite suitable(S2) at Sembiran, Julah, Bondalem, Tejakula, Tembok village, with the limiting factor being temperature, and another Village is moderately suitable(S2) with the limiting factor being rainfall and root condition. Grape and avocado are quite suitable (S2) with the limiting factor of temperature at Pacung, Sembiran, Julah, Bondalem, Tejakula village, another village is moderately suitable(S2) with the limiting factor of root condition and slope. Land use planning by improving irrigation and applying organic fertilizer, Urea, Phonska, and making terracing.

Abstract

Agroforestry systems represent an approach to forest management that considers both ecological and economic functions. The system aims to optimize land use by integrating forest and agricultural components, thereby enhancing the economic and ecological benefits of the forest area. Consequently, information regarding the potential of agroforestry is essential for designing an effective management strategy. One location implementing agroforestry systems is Banyurip Village, which features an uncommon combination of key plants, namely Tectona grandis and Plukenetia volubilis. Banyurip has been selected as the research location due to its unique circumstances; most other locations primarily focus on the cultivation of sacha inchi plants, and there is a notable absence of agroforestry system applications. This presents an opportunity to explore and assess the potential benefits of integrating agroforestry practices in this area. The aims of this research is to provide information about the potential utilization of plant species present in the study area, utilizing data collection methods through interviews. Informants were selected purposively based on the criteria of farmers practicing an agroforestry system that focuses on a combination of teak and sacha inchi in production forest areas. Six farmers participated as research informants. This research was conducted in production forests managed by Perum Perhutani, employing a methodology that includes an exploratory descriptive approach accompanied by field observations and interviews. The results identified sacha inchi as the primary supporting plant species and 11 other cultivated plant species, with a total of 37 associated plant species, consisting of 10 woody plant species and 27 non-woody plant species. The identified plant types possess economic and ecological potential, such as teak, which serves as an oxygen producer, and sacha inchi, which holds significant economic value due to its oil.

Abstract

East Java Province, one of the carrot centers, experiences fluctuations in carrot production, which is thought to be due to inefficient production factors and land degradation due to low conservation use. The study investigates the level of conservation activities adopted by carrot farmers in East Java Province, focusing on technical efficiency and the impact of socio-economic factors on this efficiency. This study was conducted purposively in Sumberbrantas Village, Batu City, and Wonokerso Village, Probolinggo Regency, using a simple random sampling method with data collection through interviews. The analysis method used was the Likert scale scoring method for the level of conservation adoption by farmers, stochastic frontier analysis using the Cobb-Douglas function with maximum likelihood estimate (MLE), and tobit regression analysis to determine the effect of conservation on technical efficiency. Results show that conservation adoption is mostly low, with factors like land, chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers, pesticides, and labor positively affecting production. The average level of technical efficiency is 0.4970, with location and education having a significant positive effect. Conservation variables do not have a significant effect.

Abstract

Melon plants are a high-value horticultural commodity favored by consumers for their taste and market appeal. This study aimed to determine the best combination of Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) fertilizer and Amino Acid Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) doses to enhance the growth and yield of melon plants while promoting nutrient balance and minimizing environmental impact. The experiment was conducted from April to July 2024 in a greenhouse located in Jatirejo Village, Nganjuk Regency, with LOF composition analysis carried out at the BSIP Laboratory. A factorial experiment using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) was applied with two factors: MKP fertilizer dose (5, 10, and 15 g/plant) and LOF dose (0, 50, 100, and 150 ml/plant), resulting in 12 treatment combinations replicated three times. Observed parameters included plant length, number of leaves, fruit weight, fruit diameter, and fruit length. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and followed by a 5% BNJ test for significant differences. The results showed a highly significant interaction between MKP and LOF treatments, with the combination of 15 g MKP and 100 ml LOF per plant producing the best outcomes across most growth and yield parameters, indicating that this treatment is optimal for maximizing melon productivity in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

One of the biggest issues facing countries around the world, including the Tapal Kuda region, is food security. Due to the large and productive agricultural area, a variety of food crops, including vegetables, corn, and rice, can be produced. However, it has food insecurity that can be caused by a decrease in crop area, lack of irrigation, low technology, social and economic changes. The purpose of this study is to ensure that poverty levels, rice production, GDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product), and rice prices have an impact on food security in Tapal Kuda. The sampling method used in the study was used deliberately, namely the purposive method. The selected examples are seven districts in the Tapal Kuda region including Probolinggo, Pasuruan, Lumajang, Jember, Bondowoso, Situbondo and Banyuwangi Regencies. Panel data regression analysis is a technique used that involves panel data or variations of cross section data and time series data. The analysis was carried out by managing the data using the Eviews software. The findings of the study show that poverty and rice prices have a negative impact on food security in the Tapal Kuda region, GDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) and rice production have a positive impact. Optimizing the government's commitment to developing programs based on increasing local food production to keep pace with population growth and ensuring public access to safe and quality food can increase food security.

Abstract

The Moringa plant (Moringa oleifera L.) is a plant that has many benefits and has long been used by various groups throughout the world. Almost all parts of this magical plant can be used for multiple purposes. Moringa plants spread and adapt to different environments, increasing phenotypic and phytochemical diversity. The research was conducted at three altitudes in Bali, lowlands, medium, and highlands from December 2023–May 2024. The study was conducted to determine differences in morphological characters and phytochemical content of Moringa plants. This research used UPGMA analysis to determine the relationship based on morphological characters, flavonoids, tannins, and vitamin E using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, while the antioxidant activity test was carried out using the DPPH method. The results of the identification of morphological characters showed differences in qualitative characters, which were seen in leaf color and flower color, while quantitative characters were seen in leaf length, leaf thickness, pod length, and number of seeds. Nine Moringa accessions showed differences in phytochemical content. The highest flavonoid and vitamin E content in the lowlands are (599.961 mg QE/100 g) and (599.961 mg QE/100 g), tannins in the medium plains (368.140 mg TAE/100 g), and the highest IC50 in the highlands (54.94 ppm).

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the capacity of farmers and the factors that influence the capacity of farmers in the integrated palm oil beef cattle business in Manokwari Regency. The research was carried out in Manokwari Regency, West Papua. The sample was 228 breeders using the proportional cluster random sampling technique. Primary data was collected using questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and FGD. Independent variables consist of individual characteristics, support from external factors, and the role of agricultural instructors. The dependent variable of this research is farmer capacity. Analysis techniques used descriptive statistics and SEM (Structural Equation Models). The results show that the business capacity of farmers in the palm oil integrated beef cattle business is in the low category, which is indicated by the ability of farmers who do not pay attention to the technicalities of integrated cattle cultivation, such as the majority of cattle breeds whose mothers and bulls are unknown, raising livestock in oil palm plantations with lack of supervision, the mating system naturally, with any male, no health checks and deworming are ever carried out, easy marketing conditions mean that efforts to establish cooperation are not a concern. The capacity of farmers in the integrated beef cattle business on oil palm plantations is directly influenced by (1) the individual characteristics of the farmer as reflected by formal education, number of livestock, perception and motivation of the farmer; (2) External support reflected by government, family, institutional and market support; (3) the role of agricultural instructors as facilitators, communicators and consultants.

Abstract

Chili is one of the food commodities that has a fluctuating price. The instability of this price movement makes red chili a cause of price inflation in Banyumas Regency. This study aims to find out the marketing channels, price behavior, and market integration of red chili commodities in Banyumas Regency. The types and sources of data in this study are primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained based on interviews with traders. Secondary data in the form of red chili prices that apply at the farmer and consumer levels in Banyumas Regency in the period 2019 to 2023. Red chili price data at the farmer level comes from the Department of Agriculture and Food Security of Banyumas Regency. Red chili price data at the consumer level comes from the Department of Industry and Trade of Banyumas Regency. The analysis method in this study is a descriptive quantitative method. Data analysis uses descriptive analysis, coefficient of variation, and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results of the study indicate that the behavior of red chili prices based on the KV values obtained indicates highly fluctuating and unstable behavior. The average KV value at the farmer level, which is 43%, tends to be greater than the consumer level, which is 41%. This shows that the price of red chili at the farmer level is more fluctuating than at the consumer level. The red chili market at the farmer and consumer levels in Banyumas Regency is integrated both in the long term and the short term. There is no causal relationship between the producer and consumer markets in the marketing of red chili in Banyumas Regency.
