Abstract

Background: Although agriculture holds vast potentials for economic revolution internationally, Africa's agricultural sector and associated occupations continue to underperform. The sector is hindered by substantial challenges, including low productivity stemming from limited uptake of agricultural innovations which are now and again linked to existing unfavorable tax regimes and failed efforts to simplify tax policy in the agricultural milieu. Methods: This literature review uses comparative systematic lenses to blend existing literature while providing an objective consideration of multifaceted issues that have bearing to agricultural technology adoption and favourable tax policy. It utilizes secondary sources such as books, newspapers, archival materials, government and international organizations documents, electronic data bases, and a number of peer-reviewed journals across several disciplines to make available a well-balanced all-inclusive interdisciplinary review to highlight the importance of favourable tax policies in the quest for increase adoption of improved agricultural technologies and identifies key areas for improvement. Findings: While espousing the truism that favourable tax programs and subsidies incentivizes investment in agricultural innovations, it held that uncontrolled taxes stifle improved agricultural technology adoption. Tax incentives touted by this review to foster increase adoption include Tax Exemptions and Tax Holidays, Tax Rebates, Reduced VAT, Tax Exemption of loan Interest for banks, Concessional Import Duties, Lower Corporate Income Tax Rate, Investment Deductions, and Enhanced Capital Allowances. Beyond favourable tax policies, governments also provide subsidies that can be direct cash payments or circuitously support agricultural related operations through lessening prices of key inputs to make improved agricultural technologies more affordable. Conclusion: The paper concluded that stakeholders, especially in Africa, develop capacity to adopt and utilize innovations effectively while taking advantage of tax incentives in the agricultural milieu for improvement throughout the value chain to optimize gains from global agribusiness that could reach a trillion dollars by the end of the decade. Novelty/Originality of this article: This review is novel in its unambiguous positioning of supportive taxes and subsidies not simply as circumstantial policy instruments, but as key behavioural drivers of agricultural technology uptake. Diverging from most existing literature that treats fiscal policy incentives as auxiliary enablers or individual economic factors, this review conceptualizes taxation and subsidy regimes as direct triggers shaping innovation adoption intentions and behaviour.

Abstract

Background: Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) is a herbaceous plant widely cultivated for ornamental and ecological purposes. Its cultivation is strongly influenced by environmental factors, especially nutrient availability in the growing media. This study aimed to examine the effect of different seedling media compositions on their physical properties and the growth of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) seedlings. Previous studies suggest that the physical properties of seedling media, such as porosity and water-holding capacity, play a crucial role in early plant development. Methods: The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with one factor—media composition. The treatments included M0 (ready-to-use commercial media), M1 (husk charcoal [2]: cocopeat [1]: bamboo compost [1]), M2 (husk charcoal [1]: cocopeat [2]: bamboo compost [1]), and M3 (husk charcoal [1]: cocopeat [1]: bamboo compost [2]). Data collection included plant height, number of leaves, root length, number of roots, fresh weight, and dry weight. Data were analyzed statistically to determine the significance of treatment effects. Findings: The composition of the growing media significantly influenced marigold seedling growth. Media with a higher proportion of cocopeat (M2) resulted in greater porosity, which in turn supported better seedling development. This was evidenced by higher values in plant height, number of leaves, root length, root count, fresh biomass, and dry biomass compared to other treatments. Conclusion: The study concludes that the M2 media composition (husk charcoal [1]: cocopeat [2]: bamboo compost [1]) provides optimal physical conditions for marigold seedling growth. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research offers new insights into the effect of media physical properties on marigold seedling performance, particularly highlighting the beneficial role of increased cocopeat content in enhancing media porosity and seedling growth.

Abstract

Background: Sorghum has been known in Indonesia for a long time, but its development is not as good as rice and corn. This is because there are still few areas that utilize sorghum plants as food. Land evaluation is a process of assessing the potential of a land used as the basis for sector development in an area that is useful for reorganizing existing land use to assist in making land use planning decisions. This study lies in the integration of detailed soil physical and chemical characterization with land use change into practical, site-specific development directions for sorghum cultivation at the village scale. Previous studies focus mainly on general suitability classification, this research links soil directly to management recommendations and planning, providing a decision-support for promoting sorghum as an alternative food crop in marginal agricultural areas in Yogyakarta. Methods: This study was conducted in Sitimulyo Village, Bantul, from October to December 2023. Field surveys, soil sampling, laboratory analysis of physical and chemical properties, and water quality measurements were carried out to assess soil characteristics across various land uses. Findings: The results obtained show that in general the condition of land suitability in Sitimulyo Village has a level of moderately suitable (S2) to suitable (S1) with limiting factors of rainfall, slope, and Cation Exchange Capacity. Conclusion: Recommendations from this study are to make efforts to improve and sufficient level of management of limiting factors to improve the land suitability class. In addition, there is a need for more review and counselling on sorghum farming to improve the social and economic conditions of surrounding farmers. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study lies in the integration of detailed soil physical and chemical characterization with land use change into practical, site-specific development directions for sorghum cultivation at the village scale. Previous studies focus mainly on general suitability classification, this research links soil directly to management recommendations and planning, providing a decision-support for promoting sorghum as an alternative food crop in marginal agricultural areas in Yogyakarta.

Abstract

Background: Coconut waste and chicken manure present innovative solutions for enhancing the growth and yield of caisim crops. Cocopeat is one of the organic growing media that is increasingly popular in modern horticultural cultivation. Utilizing coconut waste as a planting medium improves aeration and water retention, both of which are crucial for the development of caisim roots. Methods: This study used a randomized group design with five soil treatments to evaluate caisim growth. Parameters included plant height, leaf number, biomass, and soil nutrient content, analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT. Findings: The study revealed that the P3 treatment (soil:cocopeat:chicken manure = 1:1:1) produced the tallest caisim plants, highest leaf number, and greatest fresh weight. Nutrient balance and organic matter improved plant growth, transpiration, and stomatal conductance, while excessive nitrates and pH deviations reduced leaf formation. Total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity positively correlated with growth, highlighting the importance of balanced planting media for optimal vegetative development and biomass accumulation. Conclusion: The results revealed that the composition of the planting medium significantly influenced morphological growth, nutrient content, and the correlation between various growth parameters of caisim plants. Novelty/Originality of this article: The treatments P3 (soil: cocopeat: chicken manure in a ratio of 1:1:1) and P4 (1:2:1) yielded the best outcomes, resulting in increased plant height, fresh weight, and nutrient content, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Additionally, these treatments produced optimal Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Electrical Conductivity (EC) values, which are essential for effective nutrient absorption.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia exhibits a critical dependency on garlic imports, satisfying 96.8% of national demand (575,000 tons) and positioning the nation as the world's largest importer in the first half of 2024. This reliance undermines local competitiveness, necessitating urgent improvements in domestic productivity. However, cultivation is hindered by two primary constraints: limited arable land and the crop's high sensitivity to heat during vernalization. Vernalization, a cold-induced process (5°C–13°C) essential for transitioning vegetative buds to reproductive stages, presents a significant challenge in tropical climates. Methods: This study proposes a novel device integrating a pipe-based vertical cultivation system with a passive vernalization chamber. Utilizing evaporative cooling and locally sourced materials like clay and coconut fiber, it provides low-cost, energy-efficient operation. The device’s performance and feasibility in tropical regions were evaluated through literature review of heat transfer and material properties. Findings: The Tropiverna system, integrating vertical cultivation with passive and active cooling mechanisms, effectively maintains stable low temperatures for garlic vernalization in tropical conditions. The combination of evaporative cooling via clay-coconut fiber pots and Peltier thermoelectric modules reduces heat stress, enhances temperature uniformity, and improves energy efficiency. This design optimizes land use and is projected to increase garlic productivity by up to 307.79% per hectare. Conclusion: Integrates verticulture with a hybrid cooling system utilizing zeer pot principles and Peltier modules, theoretically resolves Indonesia’s land and climatic constraints by optimizing vernalization conditions, thereby serving as a sustainable, scalable strategy to reduce import dependency and strengthen national food sovereignty. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in the specific application of a cost-effective vernalization system within a vertical farming architecture designed for the tropics, offering an adaptive solution for sustainable national food sovereignty.
