Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major staple crop that plays a strategic role in ensuring national food security. This study aims to analyze the relationship between cultivation techniques and the intensity of pest and disease (organism pest of plants/OPT) attacks on rice yield in Bumi Restu Village, East Halmahera Regency. The research was conducted at three locations using a field survey method and a quantitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation and structured interviews with 30 farmers, then analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression with SPSS 25. The results revealed that the highest pest attack intensity occurred during the generative phase, categorized as mild to moderate. Regression analysis indicated that the rice planting system significantly influenced yield. The average yield of harvested dry grain (GKP) was 6.08 tons/ha at Location I, 5.0 tons/ha at Location II, and 6.4 tons/ha at Location III. Therefore, the adoption of the jajar legowo planting system and integrated pest management (IPM) is recommended to sustainably enhance rice productivity.

Abstract

The Educational Forest in the Forest Management Area (KPH) Unit XIII, located in South Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province, has the potential to be developed as a natural ecotourism area. One of the main functions of natural ecotourism is to preserve biodiversity and natural ecosystems in an area. However, available data on the potential of the educational forest environment for this purpose is still limited. Hence, this study was conducted with the aims of: 1) identifying the potential of an Educational Forest area; 2) analysing the level of suitability of the ecosystem within an Educational Forest; and 3) assessing the feasibility of an Educational Forest as a natural ecotourism destination. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of the educational forest to be managed as a natural ecotourism destination. This research employs field observation and document analysis methods. Field observations were conducted within a sampling area of 2,500 m2 in each plot to collect data on the potency of the educational forest. This included assessing the types, thickness, and density of vegetation, as well as identifying the types of fauna present. Additionally, the components that contribute to the area's appeal, as well as the accessibility and accommodation options, were evaluated across five plots in the forest area. The potential data obtained were used to analyze the level of suitability and feasibility of this educational forest area as a natural ecotourism site. The document analysis included a review of various relevant literature to this research. The results of the study showed that the potential of the educational forest in the KPH Unit XIII includes the biotic potential comprising forest stand types such as Matoa trees, white Meranti (Shorea), banyan, Bugis wood, ironwood, galip nut, Calophyllum, and agarwood. In addition, the forest is home to a diverse range of fauna, including various species of birds, insects, reptiles, and several types of aquatic biota found in the rivers. Further, the educational forest area also possesses abiotic components including soil, water, sunlight, and a tropical climate. Another potential includes the beautiful natural scenery. Almost all types of vegetation were found in the five plots, with an even vegetation thickness of 50 m in each plot. The results of calculations on stand density showed that the highest density index value was found in plot V, namely 0.0076, with a total of 19 trees consisting of five types of trees. Plot III was in second place with a density index value of 0.0072 with a total of 18 trees consisting of five types of trees. Then followed by plot IV with a total density index value of 0.0064 with a total of 16 trees consisting of four types of trees. The lowest total density index value was found in Plot II at 0.0048 with a total of 12 trees consisting of four tree species. Meanwhile, the results of fauna potential observations found that almost all types of fauna are spread across all plots in the educational forest area. The suitability analysis results for the educational forest ecosystem indicated that the forest was classified as an S3 category or conditionally suitable for nature ecotourism, with an ecosystem suitability index value of 47.7%. The suitability level of this forest ecosystem was quite low due tolimiting factors, such as low stand density (0.1432 ind/m2). The low vegetation density was caused by high levels of illegal logging activity. To enhance vegetation density, a rehabilitation program is needed to replant the vegetation of the same types found in the forest area. The feasibility analysis results of the educational forest ecosystem as a natural ecotourism area showed that the Educational Forest Area had a feasibility level of 75.84% (S2). This suggests that the area is suitable for development as a natural ecotourism destination. This high level of suitability is supported by elements of attractiveness, accessibility, and adequate supporting infrastructures. One of the factors inhibiting the level of feasibility of the Educational Forest is the inadequate availability of accommodation. To support the development of the Educational Forest Environment as a natural ecotourism destination, it is necessary to develop decent accommodation facilities, such as rest areas, public toilets, security posts, hiking and camping facilities as well as information boards.

Abstract

Wheat flour is one of the main carbohydrate sources widely consumed by the community, including low-income households that are beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program (PKH). However, the increase in wheat flour prices and limited income affect the ability of PKH household participants to access and consume wheat flour. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing wheat flour consumption among PKH household participants in Pekanbaru City. The research employs a quantitative approach, conducted in Pekanbaru City with a total sample of 315 respondents. The sample was determined using a multistage sampling method with a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and demand elasticity models. The results show that the prices of wheat flour, rice flour, glutinous rice flour, sago flour, granulated sugar, coconut sugar, chicken eggs, and cooking oil, as well as household size and income, significantly affect wheat flour consumption. Wheat flour consumption is elastic with respect to its own price but inelastic with respect to income, household size, and the prices of substitute goods such as rice flour, glutinous rice flour, sago flour, granulated sugar, coconut sugar, chicken eggs, and cooking oil. Therefore, the price of wheat flour itself is the most influential factor affecting its consumption among PKH households in Pekanbaru City. Thus, price control policies are essential to enhance the purchasing power of PKH households toward wheat flour

Abstract

This study addresses the need to improve melon fruit quality while reducing dependence on chemical inputs by evaluating the effectiveness of a consortium based plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) biofertilizer biopesticide. The objective was to assess its impact on the quality of Madesta melon grown in a lowland clay soil agroecosystem, focusing on fruit weight, netting density, and rind color. A two group experimental design (biological treatment versus control) was implemented using a polybag system under uniform basal NPK fertilization. One fruit per plant was evaluated at 75 days after anthesis. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro Wilk test for normality, Welch’s t test for mean comparisons with 95% confidence intervals, and complementary nonparametric tests for ordinal variables. The results showed that plants receiving the biofertilizer biopesticide consistently produced heavier fruits with denser netting and brighter, more uniform rind color than the control group, with statistically significant differences and large effect sizes. These findings indicate that PGPR based biofertilizer biopesticide application is an effective complementary strategy to enhance melon fruit quality and uniformity, with potential economic benefits and reduced chemical residue risks. Further multi location and multi season evaluations are recommended to support wider adoption.

Abstract

Water use efficiency is a critical issue in melon production, particularly under greenhouse cultivation systems. This study aimed to compare the water footprint of melon (Cucumis melo L.) production under hydroponic and conventional cultivation systems. The experiment was conducted at the Teaching Factory Smart Greenhouse, Politeknik Negeri Jember, from March to June 2023. Each cultivation system consisted of 30 sampled plants. Both systems applied drip irrigation with a nutrient solution concentration of 1400 ppm. Water footprint was calculated following Hoekstra’s method, considering only the blue water footprint, while green and grey components were assumed to be zero due to the protected greenhouse environment. The results showed that the conventional system produced greater vegetative growth, earlier generative phase development, and higher fruit diameter and weight than the hydroponic system. However, the water footprint of the conventional system was significantly higher. Differences in water footprint were mainly attributed to differences in planting area per plant, which affected plant water use calculated as evapotranspiration multiplied by planting area. The hydroponic system demonstrated higher water use efficiency per unit yield.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of organic fertilizer (straw compost) and inorganic fertilizer (NPK) on the growth and yield of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) in irrigated rice fields. The study was conducted at the Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, Gayo Lues. This study lasted for five months, from July to November 2025, covering one full planting season. The method used was a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two treatment factors, namely the dose of organic fertilizer (0, 5, and 10 tons/ha) and the dose of NPK fertilizer (0, 150, and 300 kg/ha), each with three replications. The parameters observed included plant height, number of productive tillers, panicle length, grain weight per hill, and harvest yield (tons/ha). The results showed that the combination of 10 tons/ha of organic fertilizer with 300 kg/ha of NPK produced the highest dry grain yield of 7.82 tons/ha, significantly different (P < 0.05) compared to the control (4.21 tons/ha). The interaction between the two factors significantly affected all growth and yield parameters. The conclusion of this study is that the optimal application of a combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers can increase rice productivity sustainably.

Abstract

The Essential Ecosystem Area (KEE) of mangroves in Kao Village, North Halmahera Regency, covers approximately 300.92 ha and plays a significant ecological and socio-economic role. However, its utilization has not been optimally managed based on sustainability principles. This study aimed to analyze the biophysical characteristics and vegetation structure of the mangrove ecosystem and to formulate a landscape planning strategy for conservation-based mangrove ecotourism development. The research employed vegetation analysis using transect-plot methods to calculate density, frequency, dominance, and Important Value Index (IVI), ecotourism suitability analysis, and SWOT analysis to determine development strategies. The results indicated that the area is dominated by true mangrove species with high IVI values, reflecting their major role in ecosystem structure. Vegetation density ranged from dense to very dense in several zones, indicating relatively good ecosystem conditions. Suitability analysis showed that most areas are classified as suitable to highly suitable for mangrove ecotourism development. The recommended strategies include strengthening local institutions, providing environmentally friendly infrastructure, developing interpretative pathways, and enhancing community capacity through collaborative approaches. Landscape planning based on conservation zoning and limited utilization is proposed to maintain ecological and economic balance within the area.

Abstract

The sweet potato weevil (Cylas sp.) is the major pest of sweet potato and can cause tuber damage of up to 100%. This study aimed to determine the effect of different planting media heights in sacks on sweet potato weevil population, sweet potato weevil infestation intensity, and sweet potato yield. The research was conducted from October 2025 to January 2026 in a farmer-owned sweet potato field located in Sigerongan Village, Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The experiment employed a Latin Square Design (LSD) consisting of five planting media height treatments (T1 = 20 cm, T2 = 30 cm, T3 = 40 cm, T4 = 50 cm, and T5 = 60 cm) with five replications. The observed parameters included identification of sweet potato weevil species, sweet potato weevil population, sweet potato weevil infestation intensity, sweet potato tuber weight, number of sweet potato tubers, sweet potato tuber length, and sweet potato tuber diameter. The identification results revealed the presence of two sweet potato weevil species, namely Cylas formicarius and Cylas puncticollis. Planting media height affected the sweet potato weevil population, with the highest population recorded at 20 cm (19 individuals) and the lowest at 60 cm (1 individual), but it did not significantly affect infestation intensity. The infestation intensity decreased from 15.23% (moderate category) at a planting media height of 20 cm to 1.67% (low category) at a planting media height of 60 cm. The 20 cm planting media height treatment produced the highest number of tubers, averaging 9.80 tubers per plant, while the 40 cm planting media height treatment resulted in the highest tuber weight, averaging 259.5 g per plant. Regression analysis showed a negative relationship between sweet potato weevil infestation intensity and sweet potato tuber weight (R² = 0.7416), as well as a positive relationship between sweet potato weevil population and infestation intensity (R² = 0.9449). Keywords: Cylas sp., sweet potato weevil, infestation intensity, planting media, sweet potato.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the pathogenicity of scab disease in several sweet potato cultivars. The method used was an experimental field trial. The experiment was designed using a randomized block design (RBD) consisting of seven treatments. The seven treatments were sweet potato cultivars, namely Tailan (T), Ase (A), Ungu (U), Cilembu (C), Lato-lato (L), Kentang (K), and Madu (M). Each treatment was replicated four times, resulting in 28 treatment units. The research results showed that plants infected with scab disease exhibited characteristic symptoms in the form of sunken brown to yellowish spots appearing on the leaves, leaf veins, petioles, and stems. Each cultivar had a different incubation period for scab disease; the Ase (A) cultivar had the longest incubation period, namely 20 days after planting (DAP), compared to the other cultivars. Disease intensity increased significantly, reaching 50–57% in the final observation at 50 HSI. Based on disease intensity data, the Ase cultivar falls into the resistant category with a disease intensity of only 3.36%, followed by the Madu cultivar, which is classified as moderately susceptible. The other five cultivars are classified as susceptible, namely the Ungu, Kentang, Cilembu, Tailan, and Lato-Lato cultivars, with disease intensity ranging from 38% to 41%.

Abstract

Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a tropical fruit plant with high economic value and is generally propagated vegetatively through grafting techniques using scions. The success of propagation and the quality of the resulting plants are largely determined by the characteristics of the tree selected as the scion source. The purpose of this study is to describe the morphological characteristics of avocado mother trees that need to be considered in the selection of scion sources through observation and systematic literature studies from various publications. The morphological study was based on observations of mother trees in Tubo Village and analyzed descriptively by tabulating quantitative data. The results of the study indicate that the ideal tree selected as a scion source must meet morphological criteria in the stem, leaves, branches, and visual health of the plant. The tree trunk shows vigorous growth with balanced branching. The leaves have a distinctive shape, size, and color according to the variety and are free from pathogen symptoms. Branches used as scion sources are young branches with a diameter of 0.5-1 cm, have undergone complete growth, have healthy buds, and come from parts of the plant with high productivity. Selection of mother trees based on appropriate morphological characteristics is the first step in providing quality scions to ensure the success of avocado propagation and productivity.
