Abstract

Rubber is one of the plantation commodities which has quite an important role in economic activities in Indonesia. South Sumatra is the largest average contributor to natural rubber production, namely 28.77% of the total national rubber production each year. However, most rubber farmers have a habit of storing and dumping their rubber harvest in rivers. Where the river is the main water body to meet their daily needs. This habit over time will have an impact on environmental pollution. This article aims to provide comprehensive information about the negative impacts of soaking rubber in rivers and provide understanding to the public regarding the impacts and dangers of the habit of soaking rubber in rivers. The research method used is qualitative analysis. The data collection used was primary data through direct observation, filling out questionnaires, interviews with 15 people from the Pali Regency community who live around the river and secondary data through literature study. The results show that the community still practices the habit of soaking rubber agricultural products in rivers in Pali Regency, despite a lack of awareness and knowledge about the negative impacts they cause. The conclusions of this research indicate the need for efforts to increase community awareness and knowledge about the negative impacts of the rubber soaking habit. Through this article, it is hoped that it can open people's eyes to the risks and consequences associated with this habit so that it can create a healthy environment and improve the quality of rubber agricultural products in the future.

Abstract

Background: The use of limes is increasingly widespread worldwide, both as fresh fruit for consumption and for making juice or other drinks. Lime is also used in making jams and candies. The essential oil obtained from the skin is widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for medicines, perfumes, soaps, body lotions, and detergents. However, during fruit storage, the respiration and metabolic activity in lime fruits is directly related to the increase in ambient temperature, which makes the fruit dry out. Improving the shelf life of lime against post-harvest stress while maintaining the sensory and nutritional qualities of fresh produce can be achieved through low-temperature storage and the use of packaging. This study aims to improve the quality of lime by knowing the difference between the provision of packaging and not-given packaging combined with different storage temperatures. Method: The experimental design used a single-factor completely randomized design with storage type treatment, which includes room temperature without packaging (control), room temperature with packaging, low temperature without packaging, and low temperature with packaging. Observations of non-destructive characteristics include weight loss, respiration rate, and fruit peel color. Observations of destructive characteristics include juice content, fruit peel softness, Soluble Solid Contents (SSC), Total Acidity (TA), SSC/TA ratio, and ascorbic acid content. Findings: Low temperature treatment without packaging provides the best results in delaying weight loss, respiration rate, and SSC/TA ratio. The control treatment provided the best results for peel softness, juice content, and ascorbic acid. Conclusion: Low temperature treatment without packaging is recommended for the storage of lime fruit to extend its shelf life. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study examines the combined effects of low temperature and newspaper packaging on extending the shelf life of lime fruits, addressing a significant gap in postharvest storage research for non-climacteric fruits such as lime.

Abstract

Background: The women farmers play a crucial role in Indonesian villages. It needs the empowerment model for addressing the challenges and opportunities so the women farmers can increase her capacity especially in the agriculture system and family quality. By this condition we conduct research that focuses on the process of empowerment to achieve wellbeing and sustainable development. Method: Data drawing on a literature review, best practices, and real-life narratives. Findings: The data shows that despite their significant contribution to agriculture, women farmers are facing a lack of resources like land, credit, and information. Social norms build can relegate them to less demanding tasks, while decision-making power frequently resides with men. These persistent gender biases hinder their full potential and limit their agency. The narrative analysis reveals the remarkable resilience of women farmers. They manage their farms efficiently, innovate to adapt to changing circumstances, and find purpose and well-being through their work.  The stories showcase their crucial role in rural economies and their capacity to overcome limitations. The research identifies key areas to empower women farmers and achieve sustainable development. Conclusions: Investing in their well-being through access to healthcare, childcare, and financial security empowers them to invest in themselves and their families.  Promoting sustainable practices through training programs equips them with the tools to nurture the land for future generations.  Fostering knowledge sharing and collaboration creates a network for innovation and best practices to flourish.  Finally, breaking down gender barriers and promoting women's leadership in agriculture is crucial for achieving true empowerment and a more equitable future. By prioritizing the well-being of women farmers and fostering sustainable practices, we can create a virtuous cycle. Empowered women farmers contribute to a more secure and nourishing future, not just for themselves and their families, but for the entire community and the environment they sustain. Investing in women farmers is an investment in a future where well-being and sustainability go hand in hand. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study employs a multi-faceted approach to empower rural women farmers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. By integrating qualitative data from in-depth interviews and document analysis, it uncovers the intricate interplay between gender, agriculture, and rural development. Ultimately, the research highlights the critical role of tailored empowerment strategies in enhancing the economic, social, and environmental resilience of these women.

Abstract

Background: As a country with a large agricultural sector, using fertilizers is an essential factor. Inorganic fertilizers such as KNO3 are an option, but excessive use of fertilizers results in the accumulation of inorganic residues. The use of fertilizers that can release controlled nutrients is very necessary, one of which is by encapsulating with Graphene Oxide (GO). Methods: Coconut shell waste is used as the primary material for making GO which is synthesized by the Hummer method with variations in the mass of coconut shell graphite, the characterization of graphene oxide was Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Findings: This research aims to synthesize GO and determine its characteristics as an encapsulation of KNO3 fertilizer. Conclusion: The FTIR results obtained in this research detected O-H bonds, C-H bonds, and C = C bonds. In TEM characterization, thin morphology results were obtained, indicating an oxidation process in the formation of graphene oxide. The AAS showed that the release of KNO3 from graphene oxide was maximum after 8 hours with a percentage of 93.8%. This fertilizer will be used to solve the problem of low plant absorption of macronutrients contained in fertilizers. Novelty/Originality of this article: Encapsulating KNO₃ fertilizer using GO to control nutrient release is a novel approach. This technique addresses the challenge of nutrient overuse and minimizes the environmental impact of inorganic fertilizers.

Abstract

Background: Cherry tomatoes are one of the horticultural crops that can potentially be cultivated with household farming systems to fulfil the food supply. The increasing global temperature caused by climate change makes growing cherry tomato plants challenging. Besides that, nitrogen efficiency in the cultivating process of cherry tomato plants is crucial. This study aims to know the growth responses of cherry tomato plants in temperature and nitrogen doses. Methods: A completely randomized design with two factors was used for this study. The first factor was the temperature (normal and high-temperature treatment). The second factor was the nitrogen doses (55 ppm, 110 ppm, and 165 ppm). Observations of growth characteristics included plant height, leaf number, stem diameter, root length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, root-shoot ratio, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, plant canopy diameter, and growth index. Findings: On day 8, normal temperature was the best result for enhancing the number of leaves. Besides that, nitrogen 55 ppm was the most effective for increasing the number of leaves. Next, at day 20, normal temperature was the best result for increasing leaf number, stem diameter, root length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, and growth index. Then, nitrogen 110 ppm + normal temperature was the most significant response of root-shoot ratio. Conclusion: Normal temperature and minimal nitrogen doses were the most effective conditions for enhancing the growth of cherry tomato plants.  Novelty/Originality of this article: This study examines cherry tomato plants' remarkable ability to grow at normal temperature and minimum nitrogen level.
