Abstract

Silicon (Si) is one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust, but it is mostly inert and only slightly soluble and available to plants. Source of Si in the earth are minerals and biogenic pools.  Sugarcane is known to absorb more Si than any othermineral nutrient, with the potential to accumulate up to 400 kg/ha of Si during 12-month growth period.  Due to sugarcane is planted more than one season in the same soil (ratoon system cropping), it might cause the soil has low content of Si. Significant effect of silicon treatment on both cane and sugar yields, have been reported in several countries including Hawaii, Mauritius, South Africa, Puerto Rico, Florida and Australia. In America, addition of Si fertilizer increased cane yield and sugar yield 36% and 50% respectively. However, in Indonesia Si fertilizer application on sugarcane land is still scare. In Indonesia, research is required with focus on identification of Si soil status to determine strategy of Si fertilizing in efforts to increase yield and maintain the sustainability of sugarcane cropping.Key words: Saccharum officinarum L, Si, yield, biotic, abiotic

Abstract

In the last five years the price of pepper world was increasing rapidly, in 2010 the export price of black pepper and white pepper Indonesia respectively were FOB US $ 3,677 and FOB US $ 5,662 be FOB US $ 8,975 and FOB US $ 12,362 per metric ton in the year 2014. Nevertheless, Indonesian pepper production has declined, namely 59,000 tonnes in 2010 to 52,000 tons in 2014. This reflects the constraints that limit the development of pepper production in Indonesia. Indonesian pepper internally has a competitive advantage in the factor of natural resources and the availability of human resources, but there are weakness in the quality of the labour, especially in the application and knowledge of cultivation technology and the use of superior seeds. To improve the competitiveness of Indonesian pepper, it is necessary to improve the quality and quantity of production by increasing productivity through improvement methods of cultivation that is environmentally friendly, use of certified seeds and high quality input grade, primary product processing that refers to the quality standards, accompanied by the introduction of institutional innovation and technical cultivation with the active role of farmer groups. Due to the successful adoption of the technology depends on knowledge of the perpetrators of farming technologies that will be developed.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Pengembangan agave diarahkan pada lahan kering beriklim kering yang cukup luas ketersediaannya. Potensi curah hujan yang terbatas sekitar 1.347,71 mm/tahun masih dapat mendukung pertumbuhan agave. Tujuan dari penulisan tinjauan ini adalah untuk menginformasikan pola rintisan pengembangan agave di lahan kering, iklim kering di Sumbawa Barat, sehingga dapat diekstrapolasikan ke daerah lain yang memiliki kemiripan sumber daya alam, ekosistem dan kondisi sosial. Program pola rintisan pengembangan agave di Sumbawa Barat mengikuti azas plasma dan inti.  Investor nasional sebagai inti dan para petani sebagai pelaku plasma.  Investor berkewajiban membeli serat kering agave pada saat panen dari para petani plasma dengan harga yang disepakati bersama. Selain itu investor menyediakan sarana produksi dan mesin dekortikator dengan sistem bantuan sosial. Benih Agave disediakan oleh Investor. Pola rintisan pengembanan agave di Sumbawa Barat dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Sekongkang, Poto Tano, dan Alas seluas 5.000 ha yang didukung oleh 10.000 Kepala Keluarga (KK). Dalam pelaksanaan pengembangan pola rintisan agave ini didukung dengan penyediaan paket teknologi berupa benih agave dari kultur jaringan; sistem tanam double row dan rapat; pengendalian penyakit; pengendalian gulma; aplikasi Ca dan Mg; dan teknologi pasca panen. Pengembangan agave di daerah rintisan hendaknya secara sosial dapat diterima oleh masyarakat, secara ekonomi menguntungkan dan mempunyai nilai tambah, tidak merusak lingkungan, dapat dikerjakan oleh petani, produk yang dihasilkan memiliki daya saing yang tinggi serta berorientasi dari produk primer ke sekunder. ABSTRACTAgave development is allocated to a dry up land area with dry climate, which is still available in large extent. The low annual rainfall of 1.347,71 mm is potentially sufficient for agave development. The purpose of this review is to provide information of the development of agave pioneer pattern on dry upland with dry climate in West Sumbawa, with the expectation that it can be extrapolated to other areas with similar natural resources, ecosystems and social conditions. The initial agave development program in West Sumbawa is based on nucleus and plasma principles. National investors as a nucleus and farmers as actors of plasma. Investors are obliged to buy a dry fiber agave at the harvesting from the farmers with a mutually agreed price. Additionally, investor provides production facilities, machinery dekorticator and seeds in the form of social assistance system. The pioneer pattern of agave development  in West Sumbawa was carried out in Sekongkang, Poto Tano and Alas districts and covered the areas of 5,000 ha involving 10,000 household (HH). In the implementation of the agave development pattern, it is supported by the provision of technological package consisting of agave seeds derived from tissue culture; densely double row planting system; disease control; weed control, application of Ca and Mg; and post-harvest technology.  Stub pattern agave development in the area should be socially acceptable by society, economically profitable and value-added, do not damage the environment, can be done by farmers, the products have high competitiveness and oriented from primary to secondary products. The development of agave in the pilot area should be socially acceptable to the community, economically profitable and has added value, does not damage the environment, can be done by farmers, the products produced have high competitiveness and are concentrated from primary to secondary products

Abstract

RINGKASANPerkembangan kebutuhan energi dunia yang dinamis di tengah semakin terbatasnya cadangan energi fosil serta kepedulian terhadap kelestarian lingkungan hidup, menyebabkan perhatian terhadap energi terbarukan semakin meningkat, terutama pada sumber-sumber energi terbarukan di sektor pertanian seperti komoditi tanaman pangan, hortikultura, perkebunan dan peternakan. Secara lebih sempit lagi, diungkapkan komoditas-komoditas utamanya,  yaitu padi, jagung, ubikayu, kelapa, kelapa sawit, tebu, jarak pagar, sagu serta ternak besar (sapi/kotoran  sapi). Potensi bioenergi asal residu biomassa tanaman dari sektor  pertanian (tanpa  industri  kayu  kehutanan, jagung) adalah sekitar 441,1 juta GJ. Pada kondisi sama pada tahun 2000 diperhitungan sekitar 430 juta GJ, atau  sekitar 470 juta  GJ jika residu industri kayu dimasukkan.  Jika  diperhitungkan  tersedianya  bio-energi dari hasil pokok komoditas pertanian (nira, gula, minyaknya dll), maka diperkirakan Indonesia dapat menyediakan bioenergi secara potensial sejumlah 360,99 juta GJ, sehingga jumlah totalnya sekitar 802,09 juta GJ. Sebagai perbandingan,  nilai tersebut kira-kira setara dengan pengoperasian terus menerus lebih dari 25 ribu unit pembangkit listrik tenaga energi terbarukan skala menengah ukuran 10 MW yang saat ini sedang dikampanyekan. Sektor pertanian selain sebagai penghasil energi terbarukan sekaligus merupakan pengguna potensial. Perhitungan keseimbangan antara produksi dan penggunaan energi terbarukan di sektor pertanian,  perlu dikaji secara terus menerus, seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi di bidang energi dan pertanian. Evaluasi ini akan  bermanfaat  untuk  menilai efisiensi kegiatan agribisnis di Indonesia dari segi peningkatan produktivitas pertanian nasional dan pelestarian lingkungan melalui energi terbarukan.Kata kunci: Pertanian, potensi, energi terbarukan, bio-energi. ABSTRACTPotency of Agrriculture Sector as the Producer and the User of Renewble EnergyDevelopment of a dynamic world energy consumption within the limitation of fossil energy reserve as well as the  awareness  on  the  environmental  conservation evoke the increase of interest on a renewable energy, especially   a   renewable   energy   resources   from agriculture sector such as food crops, horticulture, estate commodities and animal husbandry. To be more specific,  the  main  commodities  are  paddy,  maize, cassava, coconut, palm oil, sugarcane, Jatropha curcas, sago, and large livestock (Cow/Cow  waste). The potency of bio-energy derived from plant biomass residue of agriculture sector (without wood industry, maize) is around 441.1 GJ.  At the same condition, in 2000, it is estimated roughly 430 million GJ or just about 470 million GJ if the residue of wood industry is included.  Estimated that if the availability of bio-energy derived from the main production of agriculture commodity is calculated, so that Indonesia could  provide  bio-energy  potentially  amounted  to 360.99 million GJ, therefore, the total amount would be around 802.09 million GJ. In contrast, the value is approximately equal to the continuous operating of more than 25 thousand units of electric power of renewable energy power for middle scale of 10 MW which is now being campaign. Agriculture sector is not only plays the role as the producer of a renewable energy, but also forms as a potential user. Alongside technology development of energy and agriculture sectors, the equivalent estimation between the production and the usage of renewable energy in agricultural sector need to be studied continuously. This evaluation is useful to analyze the efficiency of agribusiness activities in Indonesia based on the improvement of national agriculture productivity and environmental conservation through renewable energy.Key words: Agriculture, potency, renewable energy, bioenergy

Abstract

Indonesia is a country having the largest area of sago in the world. Sago is plant producing carbohydrate used as raw material of ethanol, therefore it has the largest potency to produce bio-ethanol as fossil fuel substitution. In the past, development of sago plantation was still in a forest, with 95% area located in the East of Indonesia as the rest is in the West. The productivity is varies depends on age and location with tha average of 90 to 700 kg per stem. If the productivity is 100 kg per stem with the population of 30 stems per ha, the total sago starch in Indoensia will be 6,84 millions ton per year. The constrains in development are plant material and cultivation technology, therefore their research and dissemination need to be increased. Beside to produce bioethanol, sago forest can absorb CO2 emission from tidal swamp, therefore Indonesia can earn carbon-trade compensation.   Keywords : Sago, potency, bioethanol, CO2 emission, superior varieties.

Abstract

Clove (Syzigium aromaticum L. Marr. and Perr.) is one of the main raw materials in the kretek cigarette industry. The development of the clove market performance experienced ups and downs in the last four decades. The demand for clove almost consistently grew, while the production fluctuate in the short term and tends to increased in the last ten years. This review is aimed to analyze the market performance stabilization strategy through the development of national program and supply management policies. The analytical framework used in developing the strategy are (1) the analysis of the situation, (2) analysis of strategies for achieving the desired situation, and (3) analysis of the policies needed to accelerate the realization of the situation. Clove market situation that occurs at this time shows nearly balanced, in which the demand for cigarette industry can almost be met from national production in the long term. Therefore, the strategies are to encourage national production by pushing plant productivity through intensification and rehabilitation of existing plants. Area extention will naturally happen if the situation of balance between demand and supply maintainedin the long term. Price fluctuations that occur because of their short-term fluctuations in the production of each year handled through supply chain management. Therefore technical policy, institutional and financial required to facilitate the access of farmers to acquire bank financing such schemes to harvest and post-harvest financing and implementation of warehouse receipt system to provide alternatives to farmers when the price fall.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Pepper is classified as nutrient demanding crop. In the field cultivation practices, 20-50% of the total cost of input production is for fertilizer provision. Therefore,  nutrient management is  the key to improve pepper cultivation efficiency in the field. Currently, fertilization practices in pepper cultivation in the field are lack of synchronization between  composition, dosage, frequency  and nutrient requirement. This lead to poor plant performance and much lesser production than its potential. Application of fertigation technology is enable to precisely adjust the composition and dosage of nutrients according to the physiological development of the plant, hence improving nutrient use efficiency.  Furthermore, it promotes maximum plant growth and yield. The results of previous studies indicated that the application of fertigation technology in horticultural plants induced nutrient use efficiency up to 25-40% compared to conventional fertilization approach, hence improving farmer’s income 10-15%. Even though fertigation is technically beneficial, its application in pepper cultivation in Indonesia has not yet developed. Several factors were alleged as the obstacles were lack of understanding of pepper farmers towards the superiority of fertigation technology, the technology  that are considered to be still expensive hence increasing  total cost, and the unavailability of alternative easy and cheap fertigation  technologies. The objective of this review was to describe the development of fertigation technology, its economic value and the perspective of its application in pepper cultivation.ABSTRAK Lada (Peper nigrum L.) tergolong tanaman pengkonsumsi hara tinggi. Sekitar 20-50% dari total pembiayaan input produksi lada adalah untuk penyediaan pupuk. Oleh karena itu, teknis pengelolaan hara menjadi faktor penentu yang perlu diperhatikan dalam meningkatkan efisiensi budidaya lada. Praktek pemupukan lada secara konvensional umumnya masih bermasalah pada kurang sinkronnya komposisi, dosis, dan proporsi pemberian hara dengan kebutuhan tanaman lada, sehingga menyebabkan pertumbuhan dan produktivitas aktual jauh di bawah potensinya. Melalui aplikasi teknologi fertigasi memungkinkan untuk mengatur komposisi dan dosis hara secara tepat sesuai dengan perkembangan fisiologis tanaman, sehingga selain penggunaan hara menjadi lebih efisien, juga memberikan efek positif terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman menjadi lebih maksimal. Beberapa hasil penelitian sebelumnya membuktikan bahwa penerapan teknologi fertigasi pada kelompok tanaman hortikultura dapat mengefisienkan penggunaan hara hingga 25-40% dibandingkan cara pemupukan konvensional, dengan disertai tambahan pendapatan pada kisaran 10-15%. Meskipun secara teknis fertigasi terbukti menguntungkan, namun penerapannya pada budidaya lada di Indonesia justru belum berkembang. Beberapa faktor disinyalir sebagai penyebab antara lain faktor kurang fahamnya petani lada terhadap keunggulan teknologi fertigasi, investasi pembiayaan yang dianggap masih mahal, dan belum tersedianya alternatif teknologi fertigasi yang mudah dan murah pembiayaannya. Tujuan penulisan review ini adalah menguraikan perkembangan teknologi fertigasi dan nilai keekonomian pada beberapa kasus implementasinya pada komoditas komersial lain, serta perspektif aplikasinya pada budidaya lada.
