Abstract

Most fertilization in pineapple cultivation occurs through foliar application, which involves dissolving fertilizers in water and spraying them on the pineapple plants. The provision of irrigated water to plants refers to water balance analysis, which corresponds to the available water supply. The research aims to determine the effect of various foliar volumes on the growth and production of pineapple plants. The research was carried out in April 2022 - July 2023 at PT. Great Giant Pineapple Lampung using a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD). We applied four treatments of foliar water, which comprised of 1500 l/ha, 2000 l/ha, 3000 l/ha (as control), and based on water balance analysis. The treatment has three replication each. The results showed there was not significant different of growth and yield between treatments of water balance approach and the 3000 l/ha foliar water volume (control), in which both have reduced water usage by 22% for one cycle of pineapple cultivation. The findings provide a more efficient water manage-ment strategy for foliar fertilization, reducing water usage without affecting plant performance, and supporting sustainable agricultural practices in pineapple cultivation. Further, the findings can serve as a reference for optimizing irrigation scheduling and input costs in large-scale plantations.

Abstract

Climate services and climate change adaptation practices are increasingly recognized as essential for supporting smallholder farmers. Despite numerous studies on climate impacts and adaptation strategies, limited systematic evidence exists on how climate services and adaptation interventions influence farming practices across regions. This study addresses the gap through a systematic literature review of Scopus-indexed publications over the past decade. Using the PRISMA approach, 1981 articles were screened, with 31 meeting the eligibility criteria. Of these, 23 focused on adaptation interventions and 8 on climate services. Geographically, 30 studies were concentrated in tropical regions Africa (n =16) and in Asia (n=14), while one study was outside the tropics. Findings show that climate information strongly supports the adoption of adaptation strategies (>60%), especially in technological interventions such as Climate-Smart Agriculture, ecosystem management, irrigation, and climate risk reduction. In terms of service delivery, basic climate service provision demonstrated greater effectiveness (80%) compared to advisory-based agricultural services (40%). Socio-demographic factors, particularly education and age, consistently influenced farmers’ decision-making in adopting both climate services and adaptation practices. Overall, this review highlights the need for more integrated approaches that explicitly connect climate services with adaptation interventions. Strengthening these linkages is especially critical in tropical regions, where smallholder farmers remain highly vulnerable to climate variability and long-term climate change risks.

Abstract

Oil palm plays an important role in the tropical carbon cycle but is highly sensitive to climatic variability. Understanding the coupled dynamics of carbon and water fluxes in such ecosystems essential for sustainable management under variable climatic conditions. This study analyses the Water Use Efficiency (WUE) and coupled carbon–water fluxes of an 18-year-old oil palm plantation in Jambi, Indonesia, during the 2015 El Niño event using data from an eddy covariance flux tower. The analysis focused on the diurnal variations of Net Ecosystem Production (NEP), evapotranspiration (ET), and water use efficiency (WUE) during wet, dry, and dry with haze periods, which were determined based on rainfall data. Our results show that WUE reached its highest value during the dry-with-haze period (7,484 g CO₂ kg⁻¹ H₂O), more than double that of the wet (3,440) and dry (3,347) periods. This increase resulted from reduced evapotranspiration (ET) due to stomatal regulation, despite lower Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) caused by light limitation from haze.  Diurnal analyses showed WUE peaking in the morning and declining at midday as the Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) increased (up to 0.88 kPa under haze). These findings highlight oil palm’s adaptive strategy to conserve water under stress while maintaining productivity. However, severe haze markedly weakens carbon sequestration. The results provide critical insights for optimizing irrigation and water management in the face of increasing climate variability.

Abstract

Papua, Indonesia’s easternmost island, is prone to seasonal hydrometeorological disasters, necessitating high-quality climate forecasts for effective risk management. This study evaluates the performance of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Seasonal Forecast System 5 (SEAS5) in predicting seasonal (3-monthly) rainfall across Papua from 1982 to 2016, using the blended Climate Hazards group InfraRed Precipitation with in-situ rainfall data (CHIRP+Pos) as the observational reference. SEAS5 forecasts at 1 to 3 month lead times were assessed across seasons which defined as July-August-September (JAS), August-September-October (ASO), September-October-November (SON), and December-January-February (DJF), and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases (El Niño, La Niña, Neutral), using Pearson correlation coefficient (Corr), root mean square error (RMSE), and Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) metrics. Results show stronger SEAS5 skill in JAS–SON (Corr up to 0.939) compared to DJF-JFM (Corr as low as -0.208), with a robust ENSO-rainfall relationship in JJA-SON. SEAS5 performed best during El Niño, particularly in lowlands and exhibited greater variability skill during La Niña and Neutral phases. Benchmarking against a linear regression baseline showed SEAS5’s superior Corr in 76.2% of grids but higher RMSE in 60.6%. Despite limitations in mountainous regions and at longer lead times, SEAS5 offers reliable forecasts for lowland areas during JAS-SON under El Niño, supporting operational applications like drought preparedness and agricultural planning in the regions.

Abstract

Hydrometeorological disasters, particularly droughts, pose a significant threat to food crop productivity. South Sulawesi, one of Indonesia’s major rice-producing regions outside Java, is highly vulnerable to drought impacts. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal patterns of meteorological drought in South Sulawesi during 1981–2020 using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and applies run theory to characterize drought events. Monthly rainfall data were obtained from the Climate Hazards Center InfraRed Precipitation (CHIRP) dataset and complemented with ground-based observations from the BMKG rainfall observation network. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation was employed to identify dominant spatial patterns of meteorological drought variability. The results identify three principal regions explaining more than 65% of the total variance: Region 1 (R1; 56%) in northern South Sulawesi, Region 2 (R2; 10%) in the central to eastern areas, and Region 3 (R3; 10%) in the western region. R1 exhibits the highest drought frequency and intensity but relatively short durations, whereas R3 shows the lowest frequency but the longest durations and largest magnitudes. A positive correlation between drought duration and magnitude is observed across all regions, along with a significant drying trend in the southern part of R2. Overall, these findings provide important insights into the spatial and temporal variability of meteorological drought in South Sulawesi and offer a scientific basis for strengthening drought risk management and regional food security strategies.

Abstract

PM2.5 is a key indicator of air quality and poses serious environmental and health concern, especially in Jakarta where air quality frequently exceeds recommended standards. But researches mainly focus on surface-level pollutant, underscoring transboundary emission. This study aims to analyze the transboundary trajectory patterns of PM2.5 pollutants, and to estimate the contribution of emissions to air quality in the Jakarta for 2024. Meteorological data and PM2.5 concentrations from five air quality monitoring stations were analyzed during non-rainfall periods. Potential emission sources analysis was simulated using HYSPLIT Concentration Weighted Trajectory (CWT). Our results show PM2.5 concentrations during the wet season were ~40% lower than dry season, with an average concentration of 27.11 μg/m3 and were strongly influenced by monsoonal wind patterns in both seasons. During the west monsoon, pollutant transport was predominantly from the southwest to northeast, whereas during the east monsoon it shifted from the northwest to northeast. The trajectory patterns exhibited no substantial differences across all layers (15, 50, 100, and 200 m), although seasonal atmospheric stability influenced pollutant dispersion. In the wet season, PM2.5 primarily originated from western regions of Jakarta, while in the dry season sources were predominantly from the east, which is consistent with prevailing monsoonal winds. Several monitoring stations also indicated potential contributions from North Jakarta due to curved airflow patterns. These findings highlight the dominant role of monsoonal wind in controlling PM2.5 concentrations and transboundary transport in Jakarta within the lower troposphere.
