Abstract

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is a vegetable that is quite popular among various groups in Indonesia. Eggplant production in Indonesia in 2023 reached 699,896 tons and decreased to 675,397 tons in 2024 (BPS, 2025). With this level of productivity, eggplant plants are more susceptible to pests, one of which is Thrips. Thrips palmi usually attacks the leaves, flowers, and fruit. Damage caused by Thrips attacks on eggplant plants is characterized by silvery spots and physiological disorders on the leaves, leading to the growth of fungi that spread disease. This study was conducted in Nanggela Village, Mandirancan District, Kuningan Regency, at an altitude of ±200-300 m above sea level with a tropical climate ranging from 24°C to 33°C and an average temperature of 28°C. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) consisting of types of plant-based pesticides and their concentrations, namely clove leaf extract, garlic extract, and lemongrass extract, each of which had concentrations of 50ml/L water, 100ml/L water, and 150ml/L water. The results of the experiment showed that plant-based pesticides from garlic extract with a concentration of 100 ml/L of water had a significant effect on the intensity of attacks and damage caused by thrips, plant height, number of leaves, and crop yield in eggplant plants.

Abstract

Women play a strategic role in the agricultural sector and family food security, yet they still face limited access to agricultural education, technology, and decision-making. This situation contributes to low levels of empowerment of female farmers, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to analyze women's empowerment through sustainable agricultural education, using a case study in Karangcangkring Village, Gresik Regency, Indonesia. The study employed a case study approach with descriptive qualitative methods supported by simple quantitative data. Data collection was conducted through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, pre- and post-activity questionnaires, and focus group discussions. The analysis of women's empowerment was conducted with reference to the cognitive, economic, social, and institutional dimensions. The results indicate that sustainable agricultural education has a positive impact on increasing the empowerment of female farmers. The most significant improvements occurred in the cognitive and social dimensions, demonstrated by increased agricultural technical knowledge, self-confidence, and women's active participation in group activities and decision-making. The economic and institutional dimensions also showed positive, albeit gradual, developments, particularly in production management, post-harvest management, and women's involvement in agricultural group structures. Overall, sustainable agricultural education not only improves the technical capacity of women farmers but also strengthens their agency, social participation, and position within rural agricultural livelihood systems. This research confirms that the integration of gender-sensitive agricultural education is a crucial strategy for empowering women farmers and promoting inclusive and sustainable agricultural development at the village level.

Abstract

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a leading horticultural commodity in Cirebon Regency, boasting a diverse array of local varieties with distinct fruit characteristics. Varietal identification has traditionally been based on morphological characteristics, but this method is often inaccurate due to environmental factors. Therefore, a more stable and objective molecular-based approach is needed, one of which is Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) analysis. This study aims to characterize the genetic diversity of mangoes in Cirebon using SNP markers as a basis for kinship information and potential variety development. The research methods included leaf sampling from several local Cirebon mango varieties, genomic DNA isolation, DNA amplification using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method, and sequencing analysis to identify SNP variations. The SNP data obtained were analyzed to assess genetic diversity and kinship among mango varieties. The results showed genetic differences between local mango varieties that could be clearly distinguished using SNP markers. In conclusion, SNP-based characterization of Cirebon mango is effective for revealing genetic diversity and can serve as a basis for variety identification, preservation of local germplasm, and support for mango breeding and development programs in the Cirebon region.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of fermented noni and lime on consistency and sensory properties. The design used was a completely randomised design (CRD) with one factor, namely the ratio of fermented noni and lime, which were P1 50:50, P2 60:40, P3 70:30, P4 80:20, and P5 90:10. The study was conducted at the Integrated Agroindustry Laboratory, Faculty of Vocational Studies, Untag Surabaya. Data collection consisted of organoleptic test data from 30 panelists and analysis results, namely physical consistency analysis in the form of texture testing using a penetrometer. The analysis results indicate that the optimal formulation for fermented noni jelly candy, serving as a reference for producers to manufacture consumer-preferred fermented noni jelly candy ( ), is a 50:50 ratio of fermented noni to lime.
