Abstract

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L.) is well-known for its ability to thrive in sunlight. However, the capacity to tolerate shade when cultivated as an intercrop is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the tolerance limit of shade to the growth and production of lemongrass oil. A completely randomized design was used, with the treatment design varying by level of shade: control (without shade), 25%, 50%, and 75% shade. The parameters observed were light intensity, plant height, number of tillers, fresh weight of herbs, leaf thickness, leaf chlorophyll, and essential oil content. The results showed that 75% shade reduced light intensity by 75.38%, the number of tillers by 50.86%, fresh weight by 22.39%, leaf thickness by 31.91%, leaf chlorophyll by 54.96%, and essential oil content by 48%. The relationship pattern between shade and fresh weight of herbs was Y = -0.00733X2 + 0.3633X + 340.44, with a correlation of 0.70 and a determinant of 83.70%. Meanwhile, the relationship pattern between shade and leaf chlorophyll content was Y = -0,00029X2 +0.0093 + 47.26, with a correlation of 0.9681 and a determinant of 98.3%. In conclusion, lemongrass planted as an intercrop can tolerate 25% shade, as evidenced by its growth indicators and essential oil production.

Abstract

The role of ITPC (Indonesia Trade Promotion Center) as an export promotion agency has begun to be questioned due to the fluctuation in Indonesia's non-oil and gas export value. Some of the ITPCs are in major importing countries of Indonesian cocoa. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing Indonesian processed cocoa exports (HS1803/cocoa paste) to major importing countries, with a focus on the effect of ITPC, Indonesia's export promotion agency, in foreign countries. The types of data used are secondary data from 2005 to 2022, which involve the top seven importing countries: Malaysia, China, India, the United States, Brazil, Germany, and the Philippines. The data were analyzed using the gravity model. The data were obtained from various sources, including Statistics Indonesia, the World Bank, WITS, the Ministry of Industry, and other relevant institutions. Data processing was conducted by using panel data regression with EViews 10. Real exchange rate and the Indonesian Trade Promotion Center (ITPC) had a positive and significant impact on Indonesia's processed cocoa exports The ITPC dummy variable in the estimation of the model has a coefficient of 1.047, which means that if there is an ITPC in the destination importing country, the export value of Indonesian cocoa will be higher by as much as 104.7 percent compared to the importing destination country without ITPC Generally, the result of this research can be a recommendation to continue the existence of ITPC. The presence of ITPC will establish market intelligence and facilitate the export of processed cocoa to importing countries.

Abstract

The decrease in the number of male workers in the rural shallot agricultural sector, including in Enrekang Regency, has encouraged the increasing role of women as farm laborers. However, their involvement is often faced with a double problem, namely, low levels of education, unequal access to resources, and the burden of domestic roles that go hand in hand with productive responsibilities. This study aims to analyze the socio-economic dynamics of women farm workers, especially related to work motivation, wage system, dual role adaptation strategies, and social relationships with landowners in the shallot farming system. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a case study design in Banti Village, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling techniques, consisting of 15 female farm workers (aged 40–60 years) and five productive landowners. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation over two harvest cycles, and document studies, then analyzed using the Miles-Huberman interactive model with source triangulation techniques. The results show that the primary motivation of female farm workers is to meet the economic needs of their families, even though they have a low educational background. The mutually agreed daily wage system is considered fair and capable of creating social stability. In addition, trust-based recruitment patterns, harmonious relationships with landowners, and the provision of non-material benefits strengthen social capital in agricultural communities. Time management strategies and family support, especially from husbands, allow women to remain productive despite taking on dual roles. These findings underscore the importance of gender-responsive and local wisdom-based policies to improve the welfare of women farm workers and the sustainability of small-scale farming systems in rural areas.

Abstract

Functional food products play a crucial role in maintaining human health. One such functional food product that benefits digestive health is probiotic products. Banana "Loka Pere" can be the primary raw material for probiotic products. The monosaccharide and fiber content in the banana "Loka Pere" can serve as substrates for probiotic bacteria. A probiotic fermented smoothie made from banana "Loka Pere" is one such example of a probiotic product. Smoothies were chosen for their superior fiber composition, which remains intact due to the absence of fruit fiber filtration. This study examines and analyzes the growth ability of probiotics through the fermentation process in smoothies made from "Loka Pere" bananas, focusing on the parameters of pH, total acid, and the number of probiotic bacteria. The variables used included variations in probiotic powder (Lacto B and L-Bio) and variations in fermentation time (0 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours) with three replications. The analysis results showed significant differences in pH, total acid, and probiotic count. The results showed that the use of L-Bio probiotic powder and 48 hours of fermentation time provided the best results, with a pH value of 3.81, a total acid content of 0.69%, and several probiotic bacteria at a log of 7.65 CFU.mL–1.

Abstract

High evaporation in coastal areas leads to salt accumulation in the soil, elevating soil salinity. Tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) are one of the ideal plants for evaluating saline soil amelioration strategies. Inadequate saline soil treatment is an obstacle for farmers in developing their agricultural practices. Therefore, saline soil remediation using biochar was conducted to reduce soil salinity levels. The study was conducted using a non- factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 4 replications and 4 treatments, namely B0 (control), B1 (50 grams of biochar), B2 (100 grams of biochar), and B3 (150 grams of biochar) with observation parameters of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and number of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AMF) spores. The results of this study showed that biochar had no significant effect on plant growth and the number of spores in tomato roots. Therefore, based on the study's results, the use of biochar in tomato growing media did not significantly affect plant growth parameters or the number of AMF spores in the growing media. Various factors, including environmental conditions and interactions between the growing media and host plants, may influence this. Recommended that further research be conducted on the process of producing biochar using anaerobic pyrolysis or closed pyrolysis methods. This is important because anaerobic combustion can produce more stable biochar.

Abstract

The quality of a human's life is influenced by the nutrients they consume. In line with this statement, climate change, such as extreme rainfall or prolonged dry seasons, impacts crop yields and agricultural productivity. It is suspected that this will change food consumption levels because it affects local food availability and community income from agricultural products. This study aims to determine the level of food consumption and the adaptation strategies in the Research area, Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi, Indonesia. The analysis used the Food Consumption Score (FCS) and the Coping Strategy Index (CSI). The results show that all households have a FCS in the high category, with an average value of 81. Despite this, food consumption is still dominated by cereals, especially rice, and animal protein sources such as fish, while other food groups, such as fruits, nuts, and dairy products, are still low in frequency. The most common CSI for the local community in the midst of climate change issues is reducing food consumption, replacing food with cheaper alternatives, borrowing food from family and relatives, and taking on additional work. Another strategy is for the local community to encourage family members to work outside the community.

Abstract

Rice serves as the main dietary staple for most Indonesians. The preference of environmentally conscious consumers reflects their liking or disliking of the different types of rice available. Satisfaction, in this context, refers to consumers' evaluations of their expectations when purchasing and consuming rice. It involves comparing their level of satisfaction with the actual performance of the rice after consumption. The study aims to analyze the eco-friendly preference and consumer satisfaction with the attributes of rice in Toboali Bangka Selatan. Convenience sampling was applied to collect the respondents of the study. Convenience Sampling was the technique where the sampling was conducted on consumers who were currently at home and willing to fill out the provided questionnaire. Surveys conducted through direct personal interactionTop of Form, observation, and focus group discussion were employed as the data collection technique. Importance-performance analysis (IPA) and customer satisfaction index (CSI) were used in processing the data. The study revealed that the eco-friendly preference and the quality of the eco-friendly rice had a positive impact on total consumer satisfaction which was fulfilled by the attributes of rice with 69 %. The rest such as price, taste, and ease of access were not satisfied as the important attributes were not well performed. Furthermore, the CSI score illustrated that the satisfaction of eco-friendly consumers in all classes was at the “satisfied” status.

Abstract

Local Micro Organism Solution (LMO Solution) is a fermentation solution made from various locally available resources, both plants and animals. The LMO solution contains micro and macronutrients and bacteria that have the potential to decompose organic matter in the soil, stimulate plant growth, and act as a pest and plant disease control agent. It is easy to obtain and makes it possible to increase farmers’ desire to process agricultural waste. This research aims to determine the quality of organic fertilizer from livestock manure by utilizing local microorganisms (LMO) in cassava. This research was carried out from March 2023 to December 2023. The research was carried out at the Soil Laboratory of Hasanuddin University and the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, West Sulawesi University. The experimental design used in this planting test was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting of four LMO dose treatments, with each treatment carried out three times. The results of the research showed that the planting media provided by LMO tapai cassava had a significant effect on increasing the availability of the nutrients Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P). The treatment regimen involving a dose of 240 ml (M3) showed the highest average values ​​for nutrient content, specifically 0.25% for Nitrogen (N) and 13.75 ppm for Phosphorus (P2O5). Providing cassava tapai LMO in the planting medium had a significant effect on the average height of spinach plants at the observation time of 10 day after planting (DAT) and the average leaf weight. The M3 treatment showed the highest average value of plant height at 10 DAT of 7.17 cm and leaf weight of 0.73 g.

Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the primary commodity for the Indonesian people because most of the Indonesian population depends on rice. The armyworm pests Spodoptera litura causes irregular holes in the leaves, thus disrupting the photosynthesis process and reducing rice production, so it is necessary to treat the pest. Bacillus thuringiensis is a pathogenic bacterium for insects, such as S. litura. This study aimed to look at the effectiveness of B. thuringiensis on the mortality of S. litura on a laboratory and field scale. The research was conducted in the Agrotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Musamus University. The research design was a complete randomized design (RAL). The research study was conducted on five treatment doses of B. thuringiensis, which were 20 g/500 ml of water; 40g/500 ml of water; 60 g/500 ml of water; 80 g/500 ml of water; 100 g/500 ml of water. Each treatment was repeated five times. The results showed that, applying B. thuringiensis can significantly decrease the population and intensity of S. litura. The highest mortality rate in laboratory trials was observed at a dose of 100 grams/500 ml of water, with 50 dead individuals. In contrast, the lowest mortality rate was recorded at a dose of 20 gram of material/500ml of water, with only 12 death S. litura larvae. In field testing, the best dose was 50 gram/14 liters of water, and it caused the death of 50 S. litura larvae. Spraying B. thuringiensis on rice plants can reduce the population and intensity of S. litura.
