Core Subject : Agriculture,
The journal aims to advance communication among scientists in disparate fields who share a common interest in tropical agriculture and to narrow the gap between research workers, farm managers, and extension personnel in the field for mutual benefit. The scope of the journal includes all agroecosystems in the tropics. Papers dealing with original research results, critical reviews, and short communications on any aspect of tropical agriculture are welcome.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the population density and habitat characteristics of the red parrot (Eos bornea) in the Mount Sirimau Protected Forest area, so that the ecological conditions and sustainability of its habitat can be known as a basis for conservation efforts, where in general the study was conducted using a sampling method through field surveys using line transect techniques combined with the point count method, with observation paths made along 100 meters and an observation width of 20 meters on each transect, and the distance between paths was set at 10 meters to avoid overlapping data, then on each path observation points were determined with 10 meter intervals to record the presence of birds, activities, and the number of individuals seen or heard, observations were carried out in the morning and evening when bird activity was high, meanwhile habitat characteristic data was collected through the creation of sample plots measuring 20 m × 20 m along the observation path to measure environmental variables such as vegetation density, types of food trees, altitude, temperature, and air humidity, so that comprehensive data was obtained regarding the relationship between habitat conditions and the presence of birds, and based on the results of observations that have been made, it was found that the population of the red parrot in the area has an average density of 100 meters. of 6.5 individuals per hectare, which[RE1] shows that the distribution of this species tends to be concentrated in areas with dense vegetation [RE2] and adequate food sources, so it can be concluded that habitat conditions greatly influence the abundance and distribution of the Eos bornea population in the protected forest area.

Abstract

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is an important legume crop with high adaptability to tropical environments. This study aimed to evaluate the morpho-phenological traits, vegetative growth, and yield components of seven local cowpea accessions from the Tanimbar Islands under high humidity conditions. The experiment was conducted from June to September 2025 at the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Pattimura, Ambon, using seven local accessions (KTM 9, KTM 12, KTM 13, KTM 16, KTM 17, KTM 19, and KTM 20) and one comparison variety (Arghavan IPB). Quantitative data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD at a 5% significance level. The results showed significant differences among genotypes in growth and yield variables. KTM 19 exhibited strong vegetative vigor, KTM 13 showed superior pod length and number of seeds per plant, while KTM 20 produced the highest number of seeds per pod. KTM 16 demonstrated the best production performance through the highest seed weight per plant and 100-seed weight, indicating good adaptation under humid tropical conditions. In contrast, KTM 12 showed the lowest performance due to disease pressure and poor reproductive development. Base on the results, the findings indicate substantial genetic variability among Tanimbar local germplasm and highlight KTM 16 as a promising genotype for cowpea breeding programs targeting humid tropical environments.
