Abstract

Katokkon Chili is an important local variety in Mamasa, West Sulawesi, which frequently exhibits yellow mosaic and yellow curl symptoms. These symptoms are strongly suspected to be associated with viral infections, particularly those in the genera Begomovirus and Potyvirus. This study aimed to molecularly identify viruses causing yellow curl symptoms in Katokkon Chili plants. Symptomatic leaf samples were collected purposively from 14 locations in Mamasa Regency, West Sulawesi, followed by molecular detection and identification using universal Begomovirus and Potyvirus primers and sequencing analysis. Detection and identification results showed that chili plants yielded 912 bp DNA fragments with SPG1/SPG2 primers, confirming viral identity as Pepper Yellow Leaf Curl Indonesia Virus (PYLCIV) and demonstrating >98% homology with PYLCIV isolates from South Sulawesi. This study reports the first occurrence of PYLCIV in the Katokkon Chili variety in West Sulawesi and expands the host range of PYLCIV among chili varieties in Indonesia. These findings are important as a foundation for developing viral disease control strategies for chili plants in West Sulawesi.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the potential of S. fluitans bioalgae extract as a liquid organic fertilizer to enhance the vegetative growth of Inpari 32 Rice in saline soils in Southeast Sulawesi. The research was conducted at the Phytopathology Laboratory and Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University. The study was carried out from February to May 2025. The research used a randomized block design (RBD) with four treatment concentrations, each repeated 3 times as groups. The experiment was conducted by applying S. fluitans at the following concentrations: P0 = 0%, P1 = 10%, P2 = 20%, and P3 = 30%. The variables observed included plant height, leaf number, and clump number. If there was a significant effect in the analysis of variance, the least significant difference (LSD) test was performed at a significance level of α = 0,05. The results showed that the application of S. fluitans significantly increased all growth parameters compared with the control. The 10% concentration produced the highest plant height, while the 20% concentration produced the highest number of leaves. An increase in the number of tillers was also observed across all S. fluitans treatments. These findings indicate that S. fluitans contains bioactive compounds that stimulate rice vegetative growth. The optimal concentration variation for different parameters shows the complexity of the dose response and the need for further optimization. This study concludes that S. fluitans has the potential to serve as a sustainable organic fertilizer alternative to increase rice productivity in saline soils of Southeast Sulawesi, contributing to food security and environmentally friendly agriculture.

Abstract

This study assessed the impact of post-harvest losses on the profitability of rice processors in Benue State, Nigeria. The objectives were to describe the socio-economic characteristics of rice processors, estimate the extent of post-harvest losses, and analyze their influence on profitability. A total of 150 rice processors were selected using a combination of purposive, multi-stage, and simple random sampling techniques, with Taro Yamane’s formula guiding the determination of the sample size. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. Results showed that the average age of the processors was 41 years, with 47.33% being married and 74.67% having a formal education. Most processors (44.67%) handled between 7 and 10 bags of 100 kg weekly, and 36.67% had 10–15 years of processing experience. Inadequate drying facilities accounted for the highest post-harvest losses (61.56 kg or 25.60%), while pest and rodent damage contributed the least (30.14 kg or 12.53%). Gross margin analysis revealed an average gross income of ₦90,000 per 100 kg bag and a net farm income of ₦10,467. Regression analysis (adjusted R² = 0.59) identified key determinants of losses and profitability, with milling technology, labor, drying, and transportation showing significant adverse effects on losses. The scale of operation and rice prices significantly enhanced profitability. The study recommends investments in modern processing technologies, improved infrastructure, and training to reduce losses and boost profitability.

Abstract

Kemiri Village relies on the plantation sector, especially durian, as its main commodity. The decline in durian farming income over the past two years has prompted farming households to seek additional sources of income through off-farm and non-farm businesses. This study aims to (1) analyze the income and expenditures of durian farming households and (2) analyze the welfare levels of durian farming households. A quantitative descriptive method with stratified random sampling was employed based on the number of durian trees taken from 50% of the population, resulting in a sample of 53 respondents. The data analysis used included income, expenditure, contribution, and the Net Top Replacement Price Ratio (NTRPR) analysis. The results showed that the annual income from durian farming was IDR 311, 926, 385. Household expenditures amounted to IDR 43, 431, 073 per year, including food and non-food items. The welfare level of durian farmers using NTRPR with a value of 5.5 indicates that NTRPR > 1 means that, on average, farmers are able to meet the needs of their households from their agricultural and non-agricultural businesses. The results of this study highlight the importance of strengthening durian agribusiness and diversifying income to maintain the sustainable welfare of farming households in Kemiri Village.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of corn cob biochar as a slow-release organic fertilizer on the growth and yield of maize plants and to determine its optimal dosage for achieving this effect. The study used five biochar dosage treatments: 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 t.ha–1, with three replicates each. The results showed that the application of biochar significantly affected the plant height, leaf number, and stem diameter. The highest dosage (20 tons.ha–1) produced the best values for these parameters. In terms of yield components, biochar had a significant effect on the weight of fresh-peeled cobs, whereas the number of cobs and cob length showed no significant differences among the treatments. Overall, a dose of 20 tons.ha–1 was recommended as the optimum dose under the conditions of this experiment. These findings confirm the potential of corn cob biochar as a sustainable organic fertilizer that can increase maize productivity through gradual nutrient release mechanisms.

Abstract

Rice paddy farming plays a strategic role in supporting regional food security, especially in Deli Serdang Regency, one of the rice production centres in North Sumatra Province. However, pressure from land conversion, excessive use of chemical inputs, and limited technological and institutional support have the potential to threaten the sustainability of paddy rice farming. This study aims to analyse the sustainability status of paddy rice farming and identify sensitive attributes in the ecological, economic, social, institutional, technological, and infrastructure dimensions in the Percut Sei Tuan district. The analytical method used was Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) with the RAP-PADI software. The research was carried out in Tanjung Rejo Village, Cinta Damai Village and Percut Village by involving 100 respondents of paddy rice farmers. The results showed that rice field farming in the Percut Sei Tuan District has a multidimensional value of 57.16 (quite sustainable). The ecological dimension has one sensitive attribute: the use of chemical inputs. The economic dimension has one sensitive attribute: farmers' profits. The social dimension has three sensitive attributes: farming experience, farmers' motivation to farm, and farmer education. In the institutional and legal dimensions, there is one sensitive attribute: farmers' access to government assistance. The technology and infrastructure dimensions have two sensitive attributes: response to technology and village farming roads.

Abstract

The sustainable management of water, land, and food resources is crucial for food security in areas under environmental stress. This study focuses on the Tanralili Sub-Watershed in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, which faces soil erosion, water imbalance, and land degradation. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was integrated with a geographic information system (GIS) to assess hydrological responses to land use dynamics and their impact on agricultural productivity. Spatial data, including a 2023 land use map, digital elevation model, soil parameters, and climate data, were processed for hydrological simulation. Model calibration and validation were performed using observed streamflow data to ensure accuracy. The results show high erosion rates (>3000 t.ha–1) and runoff in sub-watersheds with steep slopes and intensive farming, whereas forested areas demonstrated better infiltration and reduced sediment yield. Conservation strategies, such as reforestation, terracing, and water harvesting, were identified to improve irrigation efficiency by up to 20%. Integrated resource management is projected to enhance water availability, reduce land degradation, and support sustainable food production. These findings provide a scientific basis for policy and demonstrate the relevance of SWAT modelling in watershed management.
