Abstract

Tourism villages can develop if the community supports them. To accomplish a goal, a community that is part of the institution must be able to perform its duties and functions as a unitary institution. The institutions have to communicate with one another and work together to develop Lerep Tourism Village. This research will outline the roles of each institution and examine this synergism. Based on the institutions participating in the management of the Lerep Tourism Village, the location was chosen using a purposive sampling strategy. This is a qualitative approach with case study research. Purposive sampling was used to select 26 informants to interview, covering head of village and hamlets, leaders and members of institutions, representative of communities from 4 hamlets. In-depth interviews, observation, and documentation were utilized to obtain the data, and evaluated using Miles Huberman’s flow model. The data’s veracity was examined using source triangulation and technique triangulation. The results show that each institution namely Government Institution, Economic Institution, Art and Cultural Institution, Agricultural Institution, and Environmental Institution plays different roles. There are varieties of purposes in institutional synergy. However, institutions have implemented elements of effective communication and coordination. Such synergies lead to the establishment of new tourist attractions and facilities, increase in the number and satisfaction of visitors, job opening and increase in community income, moreover receiving recognition and passing the certification process. There needs to be discussions and follow-up process regarding improving the internal conditions of institutions and communities between hamlets.

Abstract

One of the important problems in soybean production is the weed growth. This study was conducted to observe the growth of weeds in the growth of soybean plants that are given compost. Anjasmoro soybean varieties were planted in Surakarta, on April 14, 2020. There are four types of treatment, namely given compost fertilizer made from tobacco leaves, soursop leaves, a mixture of tobacco leaves and soursop, and without fertilizer. Weeds were allowed to grow together with soybeans in 15 polybags, per treatment. Observation and identification of weeds were carried out twice, 4 weeks after planting and at harvest time. The results found 9 kinds of weeds consisting of 5 species of Monocots and 4 types of Dicotiles. The total wet weight of weeds was every treatment: 1,539 grams, while the wet weight of the soybean crop at harvest was 858.4 grams. Wet weed weight in the control treatment was 284,8 grams. The wet weight of weeds in soybean plants was the largest mixture fertilizer treatment that is 514,8 grams. The number of pods ranges from 17 to 26. The sum of seeds per soybean plant in giving mixed compost is at most 98 grains. Mixed fertilizer treatment can increase the yield of Anjasmoro soybean, although weed growth up.

Abstract

The agricultural sector, especially rice, is one of the leading sectors, which is very important in helping to support the economy in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The yields of rice production cannot be separated from the role of agricultural extension workers. Agricultural extension workers certainly play an important role in encouraging changes in the behavior of farmers in order to improve their welfare. This study aimed to determine farmers' perceptions of the agricultural extension workers' role as a dynamic actor, facilitators, and motivators. This research was conducted in Maluhu Village, Tenggarong Subdistrict, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The data collected is in the form of primary and secondary data. Data was collected through library research, observation, and interviews with the help of questionnaires. The farmer population comes from advanced-class farmer groups totaling 248 people. The number of samples used was determined using the Slovin formula, which consisted of 38 people—aimed at wet rice farmers who were members of the advanced class farmer groups. Selected respondents were determined using the purposive sampling method. The analysis used in this research is a descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that farmers' perceptions of the agricultural extension workers' role as a dynamic actor were relatively good. Farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers as facilitators and farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers as motivators were in a good category. Farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers were classified as good, predominantly farmers aged between 50 and 59 years, at elementary school education level, and the size of the land they owned was between 0.25 and 0.5 ha. The analysis showed that farmers' age, education, and land tenure were not correlated with farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers as dynamicator, facilitators, and motivators. However, farmer education was significantly correlated, at a 10% error level, to perceptions of the role of extension workers' roles as motivators.

Abstract

The rapid development in the world of tourism has become a special attraction for research, especially for agro-tourism businesses with a lot of potential. Therefore, a business model and strategy are needed that are appropriate and suitable for agro-tourism businesses by analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats currently being faced as well as developing a business model that will be implemented in the future based on the business model canvas. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive method with the research location at the Rekadena agrotourism business, which is located in Jeruju Besar Village, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The variable consist of customer segmnets, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structure. The result of the research are segmented consumer segmentation, channels run by agro-tourism in the form of communication, distribution, and direct selling, as well as providing personal assistance and relying on service quality. Rekadena's agro-tourism motivation in establishing partner relations is the acquisition of resources and activities. In addition, the cost structure of rekadena's agro-tourism shows that the biggest cost factor in the company is employee salaries.

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is a food and industrial crop and a base for agricultural production. Adding organic material can increase plant growth and produce high yields. One of the organic materials that can be used is palm oil mill solid waste, specifically solid decanter cake (DC). However, the results showed that DC could only substitute 50 per cent of chemical fertilisers. DC must be combined with other materials, specifically Plant Growth plant-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), to maximise its benefits. PGPR is a group of bacteria that live in the plant rhizosphere and actively function as biofertilisers, biostimulants, and bioprotectants. Combining DC and PGPR is necessary because they have a mutually beneficial relationship, as DC is an organic material that can provide the nutrients PGPR bacteria need. This research will evaluate whether the collaboration of DC and PGPR can increase soybean growth and yield in ultisols using a Randomized Block Design. Combining decanter cake (DC) with a PGPR concentration can enhance soybean growth and yield. Soybean plants treated with 15-ton ha-1 + 50% PGPR DC tend to have the highest number of leaves, plant height, and number of branches, but DC 10-ton, ha-1 + 30% PGPR, has an equivalent effect. The treatment of 10 tons per hectare of decanter cake with 30% PGPR concentration tended to have the highest number of pods and yield.

Abstract

As the standard of living increases, the orientation of food consumption shifts from fulfilling intake to fulfilling nutrition. The acquisition of sustenance by means other than farming and government aid can enhance nutritional satisfaction, increasing energy consumption as a measure of food security. This study aimed to assess the impact of food acquisition outside expenditure on the food security of cassava farmer households in Wonogiri Regency. The research was conducted in July 2022. The method of analysis was descriptive quantitative with purposive location determination. A representative sample of 80 households was chosen by applying the proportionate allocation formula. Data were collected using 2 x 24-hour Food Recall. The data analysis in this study focused on three key variables: income, the proportion of food spending, and the Wilcoxon test of energy consumption and food security among farmer households. These variables were examined before and after food acquisition from external sources. The results showed that the average monthly income of farmers was Rp4,985,487.00. The proportion of food expenditure amounted to 33.36 percent. Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference in energy consumption before and after food acquisition outside expenditure. The food security classification of cassava farmer households before the acquisition of food outside expenditure showed that 21.25 percent were classified as food secure, 15 percent were classified as food susceptible, 52.5 percent as food insecure, and 11.25 percent as severely food insecure. After the additional food outside expenditure, the food security classification increased, with 45 percent classified as food secure, 23.75 percent as food susceptible, 25 percent as food insecure, and 6.25 percent as severely food insecure. This finding demonstrates that food utilization from farming and the Non-Cash Food Assistance (Bantuan et al./BPNT) program positively impacts the food security conditions of cassava farmer households in Wonogiri Regency.

Abstract

Food security in Indonesia can realized when the population’s food needs are met. One of the efforts to increase food security carried out by the Food Security Agency under the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture is implementing the Sustainable Food Yard (SFY) program or Pekarangan Pangan Lestari (P2L) in Indonesia. The SFY program utilizes yards, idle land, or empty land for agricultural activities. Semarang City includes the regions that have received the SFY program since 2020. This research aims to determine the status of food security and the role of the SFY program on the food security of farm households participating in the SFY program in Semarang City—the research conduct using a survey method on 130 farm household samples. The data collection technique is in the form of interviews using a 24-hour food recall questionnaire. The data obtained was then processed using cross-tabulation analysis between energy sufficiency percentage and food expenditure shared with the Microsoft Excel application to determine the food security status of farm households. The role of the SFY program on the food security of participating farm households was analyzed descriptively. The research results show that the distribution of food security status of farm households participating in the SFY program in Semarang City is 88.46 percent food secure, 3.08 percent vulnerable, and 8.46 percent questionable. The role of the SFY program in the food security of farm households is not very significant in increasing energy consumption and reducing household food expenditure.

Abstract

This study was carried out in field of Sulimani Polytechnic University, Halabja Technical College of Applied Sciences, Department of Agriculture Project Management, in 2021-2022 to test of different types of peat moss (Latvia, Iraq, Turkish, Germany, and Holland), and various level of peat moss (0,2.5, and 5 percent) on the growth and yield of radish plant (Raphanus sativus). This experiment was designed complied random block design (RCBD), with fifteen treatments and three replications. As results, the morphological properties (chlorophyll, leave tall, leave weight before and after dry, root tall, root diameter, root weight before and after dry, root and leaves dry, root and leaves water content) showed that the statistically not significant different between treatments. However, the highest chlorophyll was taken from treatment Iraq+ level 5 percent (23.967). Also, the highest leave tall, leave weight before dry, root dimeter, root tall, and root weight before and after dry was obtained from treatment that consist of Germany peat moss + level 5 percent (18.4 cm, 22.2 g, 8.4 cm, 39.157 mm, 58.433 g, 2.333 g) respectively. Also, the maximum of leaves weight (g) after dry was obtained from the treatment of Holland peat moss + level 5 percent (2,6 g). Furthermore, the interaction between treatment showed statically not significant different between them. Thus, application of peat moss is important to cultivation of radish and organic crop production. Even so, recommendation to the farm and scientist to use higher level that the level used in this study.

Abstract

The organic vegetable business is a business that has high opportunities. The real conditions experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic harmed farmers who were also in the organic vegetable business, namely a 50 percent decrease in sales. A sustainable agricultural business depends on the entrepreneurial spirit possessed by agribusiness actors. This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurial internal and external factors on the sustainability of the organic vegetable business with business performance as an intervening variable. This research was carried out from October to December 2022 in Batur Village, Getasan District. The type of research used in this research is descriptive quantitative, with primary and secondary data types. The sample used is 100 respondents, taken by nonprobability sampling with the purposive method. Data analysis techniques used by researchers are structural equation modeling (SEM) and partial least squares path modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of this research are entrepreneurial internal factors (X1) with p-value 0,003 and entrepreneurial external factors (X2) with p-value 0,000 have a significant and significant positive effect on the sustainability of the organic vegetable business (Y2). But entrepreneurial internal factors (X1) with p-value 0,117 and entrepreneurial external factors (X2) with p-value 0,122 have no significant effect on business sustainability (Y2) through business performance (Y1) as intervening variables. Therefore, if everyone improves business performance personally it will distrupt business performance in the group.
