Abstract

Crop rotation is one of the most effective agricultural and has significant benefits in improving soil fertility, assessing health and disease, and increasing the efficiency of natural resource utilization. Agricultural strategies that have important benefits in improving soil fertility, assessing health and disease, and increasing the efficiency of natural resource utilization. To maximize nutrient utilization and reduce the risk of certain pests associated with a crop, this practice involves reducing the types of crops grown on the same land in the relevant cycle. To maximize nutrient utilization and reduce the risk of certain pests associated with a crop, this practice involves reducing the types of crops grown on the same land in the relevant cycle. In addition, crop rotation helps improve soil structure, increase cation exchange capacity (CEC), and reduce dependence on chemicals and pests. The study employed a library analysis method by reviewing several previous studies on the impact of crop rotation on agricultural productivity and soil ecology. The results showed that crop rotation can increase nitrogen levels in the soil by up to 20%, reduce pesticide use by up to 50%, and increase air use efficiency, especially in areas with limited air supply. In addition, this practice helps create a more stable agricultural ecosystem by increasing biodiversity, such as reducing the number of natural enemies of pests. The findings of this study indicate that crop rotation is a practice that not only increases crop yields but also strengthens the principle of sustainability. With proper maintenance, crop rotation can be an effective solution to reduce land degradation, improve food security, and improve ecological balance in modern food systems. resilience, and improve ecological balance in modern agricultural systems.

Abstract

One alternative to increase plant growth and improve soil quality sustainably is organic fertilizer. Based on previous studies, this study discusses how organic fertilizer affects plant growth and soil quality. The results of the study indicate that organic fertilizer can increase plant growth by providing nutrients gradually and supporting the activity of soil microorganisms responsible for decomposing organic matter. The use of organic fertilizers has also been shown to improve soil structure, increase water retention capacity, and enrich it. However, there are several obstacles when using organic fertilizers, such as longer decomposition times and inconsistent nutrient levels. Therefore, efforts to optimize the use of organic fertilizers must be carried out continuously to increase their capacity to support sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Rubber plants (Hevea brasiliensis) are one of the main commodities in the plantation industry which have high economic value. Rubber latex productivity is greatly influenced by the tapping technique applied. This research aims to examine various tapping techniques that are effective in increasing rubber latex yields and maintaining tree productivity in the long term. The method used includes comparative analysis of tapping techniques, such as angle and depth of incision, frequency of tapping, and use of latex stimulants. The research results show that tapping techniques with an angle of 30°–45° and an optimal depth that does not damage the cambium can significantly increase latex production. In addition, the use of ethefon-based stimulants has been shown to extend the latex flow period and increase yields without causing excessive physiological stress in plants. By implementing appropriate tapping techniques, rubber plantation productivity can increase sustainably without reducing the productive life of the plants.

Abstract

Photosynthesis is a vital process for plants in converting light energy into chemical energy stored in organic compounds. Light intensity is one of the main factors influencing the efficiency of this process. This study aims to determine the effect of different light intensities on the photosynthesis rate and growth of spinach plants (Amaranthus sp.), which is a C4 plant species.The method used was a quantitative experiment with three light intensity treatments: low (0–10 lux), medium (10–20 lux), and high (>20 lux), each replicated three times over six weeks. Observed parameters included plant height, number and length of leaves, as well as the photosynthesis rate measured using the IRGA method.The results showed that light intensity significantly affected the growth and photosynthesis rate of spinach plants. The high light treatment produced the most optimal growth, with an average plant height of 4.92 ± 0.4 cm and the highest photosynthetic activity. Conversely, the low light treatment caused symptoms of etiolation, reduced vitality, and faster plant death, averaging by the third week.In conclusion, increasing light intensity significantly enhances photosynthesis efficiency and growth in spinach plants. These results can serve as a basis for regulating light intensity in cultivation systems, both conventional and hydroponic.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of oil palm plantation workers at PT Kencana Sawit Indonesia in controlling pests through the application of the Early Warning Sistem (EWS). Based on findings from a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), four major challenges in pest control were identified: limited employee knowledge, inefficient task distribution, challenging topography, and delayed responses to pest outbreaks. An outreach program was conducted involving educational sessions supported by pre-test and post-test assessments. The results revealed a significant improvement in employee knowledge, with the average score increasing from 37% to 83%. Furthermore, participant satisfaction with the outreach activities reached 86.50%, as measured by a Likert scale survey. These results confirm that the EWS-based extension program successfully addressed critical knowledge gaps, fostered motivation among employees, and improved the overall efficiency of pest management practices. As a result, this initiative is expected to support more effective pest control and positively impact plantation productivity.

Abstract

Robusta coffee is one of Indonesia's leading commodities with high economic value. The flavor quality of coffee is greatly influenced by post-harvest processes, particularly drying methods and roasting temperatures. This study aims to determine the effects of two drying methods—Viss Dryer and Mason Dryer—and three roasting temperatures (190°C, 197°C, and 200°C) on the flavor profile of robusta coffee at PTPN I Regional 5 Kebun Malangsari. The evaluation was conducted through cupping tests by trained and untrained panelists. Parameters assessed included aroma, flavor, aftertaste, salt/acid, mouthfeel, and balance. The results showed that roasting temperature significantly affected aroma and flavor, with 200°C yielding the highest scores across panelist groups. Drying methods had a more limited effect; trained panelists preferred coffee dried with the Mason Dryer, whereas untrained panelists favored coffee dried with the Viss Dryer. Other parameters such as aftertaste, salt/acid, mouthfeel, and balance showed no significant differences among treatments. The optimal combination, based on trained panelists’ evaluations, was achieved using the Mason Dryer with a roasting temperature of 200°C. These findings underscore the importance of precise roasting temperature control in enhancing the sensory quality of robusta coffee and reveal how panelist experience levels can influence sensory preferences for drying methods. The results provide practical insights for post-harvest coffee processing to improve product quality and competitiveness in both national and international markets.

Abstract

Oil palm plantations play a vital role in Indonesia’s economy; however, the dominance of monoculture practices has led to environmental and social issues such as land degradation and unstable farmer incomes during the replanting period until the first harvest (TM1). To address these challenges, the oil palm–pineapple intercropping system has been developed as an alternative strategy to improve land-use efficiency, income diversification, and farming sustainability. This study aims to: (1) analyze the influence of land size, farmer age, farming experience, and rainfall on the productivity of the intercropping system; (2) develop sustainable landscape management strategies using SWOT and SWOT matrix analysis; and (3) provide data-driven policy recommendations to support sustainable oil palm plantations. The research methods include multiple linear regression analysis for socio-economic variables, correlation analysis for environmental factors (rainfall), and SWOT analysis to evaluate Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats  of the intercropping system. The results indicate that land size has a significant positive effect on production, while farming experience shows a significant negative effect. Rainfall has a strong positive correlation with yields, and SWOT analysis positions the intercropping system in a progressive quadrant with promising Opportunities for development. In conclusion, the oil palm–pineapple intercropping system has the potential to enhance productivity, stabilize farmer incomes, and support environmental sustainability. Therefore, diversification-based management strategies and supportive policies are essential to Strengthen the welfare of local communities.

Abstract

This research aims to develop liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) made from goat livestock waste and paitan (Tithonia diversifolia) conducted in Makale, Tana Toraja Regency, from March to June 2025. This study aims to determine the response of cucumber plants to the application of LOF derived from the combination of goat livestock waste and paitan plants. Goat livestock waste contains macro nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), while paitan plants are green organic materials rich in nutrients and easily decomposed. The combination of both is expected to naturally improve soil fertility and optimally support the growth and yield of cucumber plants. The research method uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four different LOF concentration treatments and five replications. Parameters observed include plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of flowers, number of fruits, and fruit weight per plant. The LOF production process is carried out through fermentation for 21 days with a ratio of goat livestock waste and paitan of 3:1, and the addition of EM4 as a microorganism activator. This research also aims to evaluate the effectiveness of LOF application on growth parameters (plant height, number of leaves) and yield (number and weight of fruits) of cucumber plants, and compare it with treatments without LOF or with inorganic fertilizers. The results of this research are expected to serve as a reference for local farmers in developing organic fertilizers based on local resources that are environmentally friendly, efficient, and sustainable to increase agricultural productivity in the Tana Toraja region.

Abstract

Oil palm is a leading commodity that makes a major contribution to Indonesia’s economy, yet a significant productivity gap remains between actual and potential yields. A principal cause is suboptimal water management, which leads to flooding during the rainy season and drought in the dry season. This study develops a Conceptual Design (CD) for water management to map existing problems, analyse root causes, formulate improvement measures, and present a macro-level cost estimate for the study site. The research was conducted at an oil palm plantation in East Kalimantan anonymized as “PT XYZ.” The site was selected due to recurrent flooding and a recent change in ownership that limited data availability, making it well-suited for a CD-stage assessment. The objective is to identify water management issues and propose effective recommendations. A quantitative approach integrates primary data from field observations and measurements with secondary data. The analyses cover flood problem assessment, Water Management Zoning (WMZ/ZPA), rainfall analysis, hydrology, hydraulics, improvement proposals, and macro cost estimation. Results indicate that challenges are driven by swampy land conditions and inadequate channel and hydraulic structure capacity. Micro-watershed delineation using DEMNAS identified four ZPAs totalling 479–4,061 ha. Design rainfall was derived from CHIRPS satellite data using a log-normal distribution. Hydrologically, peak discharges range from 3.87–22.58 m³/s for the 2-year return period and 4.46–26.31 m³/s for the 5-year return period. Hydraulically, the proposed dimensions for rivers, outlet drains, carrier drains, and field-edge drains are 4×3×2 m to 9×7×3 m (T=2 years) and 4×3×2 m to 10×8×3 m (T=5 years), while collection and main drains are proposed at 3×2×2 m for both return periods. The total estimated investment for the 5-year design scenario is IDR 27,999,263,000.
