Abstract

Background: Pinto peanuts (Arachis pintoi) are known as versatile cover crops for soil conservation, biomulch, and ornamental plants. These leguminous plants rarely produce seeds, so they are commonly propagated vegetatively, resulting in low efficiency of seedling production and availability of cuttings. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cutting age and auxin application on the growth of pinto peanut. Methods: This experiment used a complete randomized block factorial design. The first factor was the age of the cuttings (stolons) with three levels (young, intermediate, old). Each cutting had three nodes, with young cuttings measured from the tip, intermediate cuttings measured from the fourth node, and old cuttings measured from the seventh node. The second factor was the concentration of the commercial auxin product ROOTONE F (0 ppm, 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm, 2000 ppm). Findings: The results showed that the difference in cutting age significantly affected the number of leaves (at 10 and 50 days after planting), plant length (at 10 to 50 days after planting), number of branches (at 30 to 50 days after planting), and canopy area. Differences in auxin concentration only significantly affected plant length from 10 to 30 days after planting. The interaction between cutting age and auxin concentration was significant only for the number of leaves at 10 to 20 days after planting and plant length at 50 days after planting. Conclusion: The highest values for the observed parameters were consistently obtained by intermediate cuttings followed by tip cuttings, which are therefore recommended as planting material for pinto peanut propagation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely determined the effectiveness of pinto peanuts cuttings based on internode length, revealing that intermediate cuttings are the best material for its propagation, especially when treated with specific auxin concentrations, consistently outperformed tip and old cuttings in promoting optimal growth, offering a practical strategy to enhance vegetative propagation efficiency.

Abstract

Background: Smallholders have been required to implement a sustainable system in developing their plantations. Sustainability aspects that have been determined by the government that must be obeyed and fulfilled by every smallholder are listed in the principles and criteria of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO). This research will focus on how smallhodelrs preferring and implementation gap ISPO certification requirements, as well as what factors cause these gaps. Methods: Data was collected based on direct interviews with 11 Village Unit Cooperative Administrators (KUD) in Sanggau Regency. The data was then processed and studied using the Gap Analysis method. Findings: The average implementation of ISPO in the respondent cooperatives is only 37 percent, which means that there is no implementation of ISPO in in the practice of cultivating oil palm plantations by independent smallholders. Independent smallholders need special training in its implementation some of the factors that cause gaps in the implementation of ISPO in independent smallholders in Sanggau Regency include organizations that are not well developed, limited access to finance. Conclusions:  The lack of information obtained by independent smallholders regarding the principles and procedures for implementing ISPO, as well as the lack of socialization of sustainable oil palm cultivation practices from both government and private institutions. One of solution to that problems is need a patner organization who can collaborate to implementation ISPO in smallholders. Novelty: This research contributes to the limited studies on ISPO implementation among independent smallholders, particularly in Sanggau Regency. Unlike previous studies that focus on large-scale palm oil industries, this study provides empirical insights into the practical challenges faced by smallholders.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has the potential of natural resources to support agriculture. However, there are still some areas that have not optimized natural resources. People focus on planting commodity crops without considering the physical conditions of the environment and socio-culture. This research aims to develop policy directions for agricultural priority areas that consider the physical conditions of the environment and their suitability for farmers' commodity preferences. Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach with a combined method to determine agricultural priority areas. It integrates ZAE analysis, land carrying capacity, and farmers' commodity preferences. Findings: The results showed that the commodities preferred by farmers were cocoa, corn, and upland rice. The preference for these commodities has a significant correlation, especially with the source of income and the size of cultivated land. There is a 51% mismatch of existing agricultural land with the ZAE while in general agriculture in Nangapanda is in accordance with the carrying capacity of the land because it is at a high level of carrying capacity. Conclusion: Based on the agricultural priority areas formed, agriculture in Nangapanda can utilize dry land mainly for plantations with the direction of the main commodities tailored to the physical conditions of the land and the preferences of farmers namely cocoa, cashew, cloves, nutmeg, pepper. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in the integrative approach in formulating agricultural priority area policies that combine the suitability of physical environmental conditions and farmers' commodity preferences, which has not been widely applied in similar studies.

Abstract

Background: Bungaraya Subdistrict is one of the largest rice-producing areas in Riau Province. However, in 2023, rice production experienced a significant decline, decreasing from the target of 45,463 tons to 26,064 tons. This decline highlights the necessity of supporting food security programs implemented by farmer groups (Gapoktan). Communication dynamics within Gapoktan play a crucial role in supporting food security initiatives. This study examines the communication dynamics within Gapoktan Sumber Rezeki, focusing on how these dynamics contribute to the success of food security programs. Methods: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, involving seven informants as participants. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, and document analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of communication dynamics within Gapoktan Sumber Rezeki. The study categorizes communication dynamics into two types: formal and informal communication, further distinguishing between vertical and horizontal communication structures. Findings: The findings reveal that communication dynamics within Gapoktan Sumber Rezeki are divided into formal and informal communication. Formal communication occ urs through both vertical and horizontal channels. Vertical communication involves exchanges between the Gapoktan members and Agricultural Extension Workers (PPL), facilitating the dissemination of program information, policy coordination, and activity management. Horizontal communication occurs among members of similar levels within the organization, utilizing face-to-face meetings and WhatsApp groups. Informal communication, on the other hand, takes place during casual interactions in the field, such as discussions and information sharing about rice cultivation. This informal interaction fosters stronger relationships, trust, and collaboration among members. Conclusions: Overall, both formal and informal communication significantly support food security programs by enhancing coordination, transparency, and solidarity within the group. Novelty/Originality of this article: By examining both vertical and horizontal communication structures, the research highlights the critical role of structured and casual communication in achieving organizational goals.

Abstract

Background: Efforts to enhance the genetic quality of Eucalyptus pellita F. Muell by PT. Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper included breeding several clones to optimize raw materials for pulp and paper production. Three clones—CEP06, CEP13, and CGP32—were selected to determine their potential based on pulp yield and physical properties. Methods: The wood samples from these clones were cooked using the sulfate process with active alkali concentrations of 13% and 15%, 25% sulfidity, a wood-to-liquor ratio of 1:4, a cooking temperature of 170°C, and a cooking duration of 2 hours. Pulp yields, kappa numbers, and pulp properties, including tear, burst, and tensile indices, were analyzed. Statistical analysis employed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) tests. Findings: The clones CEP13 and CGP32 achieved higher screened yields at 38.34% and 38.26%, respectively, compared to CEP06. However, CEP06 demonstrated superior tear and burst indices of 6.36 mN·m²/g and 3.60 kPa·m²/g, respectively. The highest tensile index of 41.75 Nm/g was observed in the CGP32 clone. Significant differences were found among the clones in terms of screened yield, kappa number, and certain pulp properties. Additionally, active alkali concentrations significantly affected the screened yield and kappa number, with interactions between clones and alkali concentrations significantly influencing kappa numbers. Conclusion: The CEP06 clone is recommended for pulp and paper production due to its favorable pulp properties, making it an excellent raw material candidate. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the potential of Eucalyptus pellita clones in optimizing raw materials for pulp and paper industries, emphasizing their specific advantages and contributions to sustainable forestry practices.
