Abstract

Depth of sowing and shade levels were two ecological factors affecting early establishment of a plant. The effects of sowing depths of seeds and shade on seedling emergence, morphological traits and seedling biomass of Centrosema pubescens were examined. The seeds were sown at the depth of 2, 4, 6 and 8 cm and shaded at levels of 0 (full sunlight) and 50%. Analysis of variance showed a significant effect (P<0.05) of sowing depth on seedling performances. Sowing at the depth of 2 cm produced the highest percentage of seedling emergence, the shortest days to emergence, the biggest seedling diameter and thegreatest seedling biomass. Shade significantly (P<0.05) increased seedling height and shootroot dry weight ratio. The findings indicate that for improved growth and dry matter yield, Centrosema pubescens seeds should be sown at a depth of 2 cm.

Abstract

It is common knowledge that most developing countries in Asia have failed to channel the benefits of their rapid economic growth to make any significant progress in the movement of reducing rural poor. This is because the rural sector is isolated from the modern sector or the so-called industrial sector in the national development process. As a result, people in the rural sector do not get equal opportunities to participate in the development process of the modern sector and thereby do not receive growth benefits equally. The present study based on the Export Production Village (EPV) project aims to rectify this weakness to some extent by providing equal opportunities for rural people to participate in modern development activities, while equitably distributing the growth benefits of national development among rural stakeholders. Thus, it aims to enhance people`s capabilities and entitlements, by creating production and marketing linkages between the two sectors. The main aim of the present study is to investigate how far this EPV project is able to improve people`s Capabilities and Entitlements through transferring growth benefits of the modern sector to the rural economy while providing productive opportunities to use their own resource endowments to participate in the national development process.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) in cocoa bean fermentation at farmer level, starting from harvesting of cocoa pods until storage of dried fermented cocoa beans. The case study was conducted at Fajar Mas and Mandar Jaya cocoa farmer groups, located in Bukit Sutera Village, District of Larompong, Luwu Regency of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. For quality and food safety assurance, production process follows standard operation procedures, though in general the process is done by manual means. Of 11 steps of the process, sortation of cocoa pods, sortation of wet- cocoa beans, and drying of cocoa beans have been identified as CCPs. Potential hazards are found as biological hazards i.e. molds, especially Aspergillus spp., insects, Salmonella, E. coli and pest, and physical hazards i.e. waste and foreign matters. Verification of the HACCP showed compliance with SNI 2323-2008 for moisture, germinated, moldy, and insect damaged bean, insect, foreign matter, waste, and slaty bean contents. Implementation of the HACCP principles by the cocoa farmer groups in producing dried- fermented cocoa beans consistently will improve quality and food safety of the product, which will increase their bargaining power in the cocoa market.

Abstract

Increased awareness of food safety issues has resulted in non-tariff measure in the form of sanitary and phytosanitary, technical barrier to trade applied to various importing countries. The policy is widely applied by various countries on agricultural commodities, especially Cocoa. Cocoa is Indonesia's flagship commodity exported to many countries. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation and impact of non tariff measure on Indonesian cocoa exports. The model used in this research is to estimate the result of inventory approach in gravity model. The results show that Sanitary and Phytosanitary policy has an effect on decreasing export value of Indonesian Cocoa while Technical Barrier to Trade has no significant effect. SPS policy is mostly applied to Cocoa Beans while TBT is more applied to processed cocoa. So, Indonesia needs to improve the processing of cocoa beans such as cacao shells, cacao paste, cacao butter, cacao powder, chocolate and other preparations. The government needs to provide socialization to Indonesian cocoa agribusiness entrepreneurs in the implementation of sanitary and phytosanitary policy. Government programs or policies are designed according to the characteristics of SPS and TBT.

Abstract

Anthocephalus macrophyllus Roxb is an endemic tree to Sulawesi having high economic value. It has rarely been investigated, either in genetic population or genetic consevation aspects. The information regarding genetic diversity is very important in order to gain more understanding for breeding and conservation strategies. Genetic diversity is used as material selection of expected genotype. The study was to determine genetic diversity of A. macrophyllus from Sulawesi provenances that would be used in further development of this species. Leaf samples were collected from 108 families of A. macrophyllus belong to Sulawesi provenances. Four out of ten microsatellite markers that had high polymorphism were used for amplifying the 108 DNA samples. Results showed number of allele and mean of allele were 3 to 4 alleles and 3,5, respectively. Moreover, PIC mean of the evaluated loci was 3,7. The analysis of genetic relationship showed that the 108 families had moderate level of genetic diversity. This research suggest to establish germplasm nursery via either seed from different provenance. In situ and ex situ approaches have to be applied together for conserving genetic resources of Anthocephalus macrophyllus.

Abstract

Nepal is developing country and it’s economic mainly based on Agricultural sector. A large number of people are relying on agriculture sector. However, still some districts are suffering from food deficit and huge amount of food items import from neighboring countries as well as others countries. In these reason, the Nepalese export import trade is unbalance. In this condition, this paper is trying to identify the role of agriculture sector in foreign trade of Nepal. For these purpose, we have used the secondary data and using the descriptive methods for getting the results. The analysis of data showed that imports of agricultural products are increasing from neighboring country as well as others countries. Two third amounts of agricultural products have imported from India and remaining portion from others countries. Due to large amount of imported agricultural product, Nepalese foreign trade is unbalanced. So policy maker should be focused on development of agriculture field, concerning policy and programs of this sector and pattern of foreign trade should be revised and reformed by the diversification, modernization, instrument-focused agriculture system, which could help to reduce trade deficit and keep it in certain trade balance of Nepal.

Abstract

This review discusses the prospective effects of induced mutation in lemongrass, Cymbopogon citratus by gamma radiation towards its essential oil production by comparing available literatures on radiation studies in Cymbopogon genus. Previous studies on Cymbopogon mutation breeding program have shown that most of the analyses were limited to physical characteristic observation and concise chemical analysis in their essential oil yield. The issue that comes into view is the on-going things that happen in their essential oil biosynthesis correlated with its biological properties and chemical composition changes. Finding the exact cause of where and how the radiation had triggered the differences in essential oil production between mutant and its control variety need to be studied. This concern possibly could be answered by analysing the changes between both varieties on their interactions within chemical, biological and genetic perspectives. Thus, strong understanding could be build for better analysis in lemongrass mutation breeding.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia began to be confirmed in early February 2020, it affects many various economic sectors, including agriculture. The COVID-19 created challenges for socio-economic issues. This short note focuses on the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on the agricultural sector. The COVID-19 outbreak had a wide-ranging impact, so that agricultural commodities continued to decline. The government's call to not leave the house resulted in many farmers not doing their activities so that it has an impact on declining farmers' income. The field officers also could not optimally carry out their work as a result the development of farming was not optimal. Various efforts have been made by the government to support the agricultural sector such as building e-marketing and training in processing yields for farmers.

Abstract

Rice ratoon technology has a great potential to be developped in a tidal swamp because it can resolve various obstacles such as limited of production factor and labor, the time of planting which is depends on the season. The objective of this paper is to analyse the effect of the stubble cutting height after harvesting of first crop on the vegetative and reproductive phase of ratoon rice. The rice was planted in a tidal swamp using a direct seedling system. A randomized block design with five replicates was used. The treatment was the stubble cutting height ranged from 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cm from the surface of the soil. The results showed that the height of stubble cutting has significant effect on the vegetative and reproductive phases of rice ratoon. The plant height, number of tillers and number of productive tillers of ratoon was lower than first crop. The flowering of rice ratoon was faster than the first crop. Stubble cutting up to 50 cm from the surface of the soil increases plant height, number of tillers and number of productive tillers and accelerate flowering of rice ratoon. It can be known the impact of the height of stubble cutting to the vegetative and reproductive phase on rice ratoon. Future studies on effect of the height of stubble cutting for rice yield prodcution should be focussed after the ripening phase.
