Beef cattle are one of the important sources of animal protein for the people of Indonesia. However, beef cattle productivity is still low compared to other countries. One factor affecting beef cattle's health and production is feeding and vaccination techniques. This article discusses feeding and vaccination techniques that can improve the health and production of beef cattle. These techniques include the selection of feed type, frequency of feeding, quantity of feed, feed quality, mineral supplements, routine vaccination, and disease management. Applying these techniques is expected to improve cattle growth, reproduction, health and quality.

Maize plants are one of Indonesia's most important food crops, which require nutrients containing sufficient phosphorus (P) for growth. However, soil P availability could be higher due to physical, chemical and biological factors. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of organic fertilizers and phosphate solubilizing agents (MPF) on maize plant quality. This study used a randomized group design with four treatments: no organic fertilizer and MPF (comparison), organic fertilizer only, MPF only and organic fertilizer and MPF. The results showed that treatment with organic fertilizers and MPF positively affected maize plant quality, such as plant height, stalk diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, shoot wet and dry weight, root wet and dry weight, and P. content in plants. This indicates that applying organic fertilizers and MPF can increase soil P availability and P uptake by maize plants. Thus, using organic fertilizers and MPF can be an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to improve the quality of corn plants.

Plants and livestock are essential sources of food for humans. However, crop and livestock productivity and health are often compromised by various factors such as pests, disease, drought, salinity, temperature extremes and pollution. Effective and sustainable breeding and conservation measures are needed to solve this problem. One option that can be used is biotechnology and genetic engineering. Biotechnology and genetic engineering are sciences that allow the genetic material of plants and livestock to be manipulated to obtain desired characteristics. This article discusses several examples of biotechnology and genetic engineering to improve quality and resistance in plants and livestock, such as transgenes, cloning, CRISPR-Cas9, gene editing and DNA synthesis. This article also discusses ethical, social, economic and environmental challenges and implications related to the application of biotechnology and genetic engineering in agriculture.

Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the surface of plants, especially leaves. Transpiration is essential in transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the top of the plant and cooling the plant. However, evaporation also causes water loss, limiting plant growth and production in dry areas. Therefore, water efficiency, or the relationship between crops and water consumption, becomes one of the most critical indicators to increase the productivity of crops in dry areas. This article discusses the factors that affect evapotranspiration and water efficiency of food crops, as well as strategies to reduce evapotranspiration and improve water efficiency in arid regions. Some strategies discussed include selecting drought-tolerant varieties, spacing and planting methods, weed control and mulching, and inadequate irrigation. This document should provide information and inspiration to scientists, farmers and decision-makers facing the growing challenge of drought caused by climate change.

Integrated and sustainable agriculture is an agricultural system combining various components such as crops, livestock, fish and natural resources to increase efficiency, productivity, farmer welfare and environmental quality. A critical aspect of this agricultural system is environmentally friendly environmental management, which prevents or reduces adverse environmental effects of agricultural activities, such as soil erosion, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss. This article discusses several ecological environmental management strategies in integrated and sustainable agricultural systems, such as organic fertilizer use, crop rotation, agroforestry, water-saving irrigation, integrated pest management and land restoration. The article also highlights some challenges and recommendations for implementing these strategies in Indonesia.
