Abstract

This study aims to assess the growth rate of harvested area and rice production in Bengkulu Province during the 2019–2024 period and to examine spatial variation across districts as a basis for regional agricultural policy planning. The data used are secondary, consisting of a series of spatial and temporal data on harvested area and rice production; the analysis method includes calculating the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for each indicator and examining temporal and spatial patterns across districts. The analysis results indicate a negative growth rate in the rice sector, with a relatively larger contraction in harvested area compared to production, accompanied by fluctuations and differences between years, indicating heterogeneity in agricultural performance at the district level. These findings have clear policy implications: the need for agricultural land protection measures, improvement and maintenance of irrigation infrastructure, increased farmer access to technology and markets, and the implementation of indicator-based growth rate monitoring to determine intervention priorities. To strengthen the policy base, recommended further research includes field verification and combined (quantitative-qualitative) studies to identify local factors driving the observed trends and fluctuations.

Abstract

PT Mandiri Banana Indonesia still requires further development and arrangement of its layout and facilities to enhance the efficient and optimal use of land. This study aims to determine whether the existing layout at PT Mandiri Banana Indonesia is effective in supporting operational flow and the uninterrupted progression of the production process. The research adopts a quantitative descriptive approach, which is used to measure the correlation between activities through the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) methods. These methods enable the analysis to be presented in a measurable and objective manner as a basis for improving the facility layout. This study proposes a new layout design for the main production area and supporting facilities. The proposed layout is based on the results of ARC and TCR analyses, which indicate several critical spatial interrelationships among the facilities. Based on the findings and discussion regarding the application of the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) in designing the facility layout at PT Mandiri Banana Indonesia, it may be inferred that layout improvement exerts a significant impact on enhancing workflow efficiency and the overall work environment. The proposed alternative layout is expected to achieve a safer, more hygienic, and more productive spatial arrangement by establishing a clear separation between the production zone, administrative zone, and supporting areas.

Abstract

As a high-value crop, potatoes necessitate balanced nutrient management for optimal growth and yield. This research aimed to assess how varying applications of NPK 20-20-10 fertilizer influenced potato growth, yield, tuber quality, agronomic efficiency, and economic viability within tropical climates. The experimental setup involved a randomized complete block design, incorporating four replications across seven distinct treatments: a control, a standard inorganic fertilization regimen, and NPK 20-20-10 applied at 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 times the suggested dosage. The findings indicated that applying NPK 20-20-10 significantly enhanced several parameters, including plant height, branch count, tuber count, tuber weight, and overall yield components, when contrasted with the control group. Notably, the 1.25 times recommended dose demonstrated superior performance, leading to a 34.9% increase in tuber number and a 68.6% rise in tuber weight compared to the control. Agronomic effectiveness scores surpassed 100 for dosages ranging from 0.75 to 1.50, with the 1.25 dose registering the peak value. Economic evaluations confirmed the profitability of all NPK treatments, and the 1.25 dose yielded the most favorable R/C ratio and a net profit of IDR 29,053,400. Consequently, the recommended application for potato cultivation is 675 kg/ha of NPK 20-20-10, distributed in three equal parts at planting, four weeks post-planting, and six weeks post-planting. Thus, these results underscore that NPK 20-20-10, when applied at 1.25 times the recommended rate, presents an agronomically effective and economically sound strategy for sustainable potato farming in tropical settings.

Abstract

The effectiveness of a retail store layout plays a crucial role in supporting operational efficiency, service flow, and customer experience. Brother Parfume, a perfume refill retail store, currently applies a bar-service layout designed based on intuition and daily operational needs rather than systematic planning. This often results in inefficient movement patterns, limited space utilization, and suboptimal coordination among functional areas. This study aims to redesign the store layout by applying the Entity Relationship Chart (ERC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) methods to identify functional relationships and determine the ideal spatial arrangement. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the store owner to understand the interaction between service areas, product displays, and storage sections. The ERC analysis shows that the service area, perfume display, and bottle display have the highest functional interdependence, while the storage area has the lowest necessity for proximity. TCR results confirm these findings, with the service area and perfume display each scoring 90, bottle display 21, and storage 3. Based on these results, two alternative layouts are proposed that integrate high-priority areas into a unified service zone and position storage separately to minimize unnecessary movement. The redesigned layout is expected to enhance service speed, optimize space utilization, support operational procedures, and strengthen the store’s servicescape. This research contributes practical insights into the application of ERC and TCR methods for small-scale retail operations, particularly in the perfume refill sector, where service efficiency and spatial constraints are critical.

Abstract

Beef cattle are a strategic commodity in supporting animal food security and strengthening the regional economy.West Kutai Regency has significant potential for beef cattle development, but is not yet supported by targeted, data-driven livestock planning. This study aims to identify base and non-base areas for beef cattle and map priority zoning for beef cattle center development through the integration of Location Quotient (LQ) and Geographic Information Sistem (GIS) analysis. The study was conducted from April to October 2025 using primary data from field observations and secondary data from relevant agencies. LQ analysis was employed to assess the level of specialization within the beef cattle population at the sub-district level, while GIS spatial analysis was utilized to integrate the LQ results with information on land use and regional accessibility networks. The results showed that of the 16 sub-districts, five are base areas (LQ > 1): Long Iram, Sekolaq Darat, Linggang Bigung, Nyuatan, and Penyinggahan, with Long Iram having the highest LQ value (2.79). The integration of LQ results and spatial modeling resulted in a priority zoning map that highlighted the primary concentration of beef cattle development in areas with high livestock populations, adequate accessibility, and available cultivation space. This study emphasizes the significance of quantitative and spatial approaches in livestock spatial planning, thereby supporting the development of sustainable beef cattle centers in West Kutai Regency.

Abstract

Sweet corn is a horticultural commodity that is widely consumed in Indonesia. This study evaluated the effectiveness of NPK 18-18-18 fertilizer on the vegetative growth, yield components, and relative agronomic effectiveness (RAE) of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata). Field experiments were conducted using fertilizer dosages of 0,50, 0,75, 1,00, and 1,50 NPK, with a control treatment for comparison. The application of NPK 18-18-18 significantly increased plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, ear length, ear diameter, biomass weight, ear weight with husk, ear weight without husk, plot yield, and overall productivity compared with the control. Mean values across treatments ranged from 68,94–205,72 cm for plant height, 7,41–20,47 mm for stem diameter, 6,01–13,00 leaves per plant, 15,41–20,89 cm for ear length, and 36,05–49,65 mm for ear diameter. Biomass weight ranged from 0,12–0,34 kg, ear weight with husk from 0,13–0,34 kg, and ear weight without husk from 0,12–0,28 kg. Plot yield varied between 7,91–25,46 kg, corresponding to productivity levels of 5,02–16,16 t/ha. RAE analysis indicated that fertilizer application was effective at dosages of 0,75, 1,00, and 1,50 NPK, with the highest effectiveness observed at 1,50 NPK (118%). Notably, the 0,75 NPK dosage achieved an RAE value of 101%, demonstrating that lower fertilizer input can enhance yield while reducing production costs and mitigating fertilizer scarcity. These findings suggest that NPK 18-18-18 fertilizer, when applied at an optimal dosage, can be effectively utilized in sweet corn cultivation to improve growth and productivity while ensuring efficient nutrient management.

Abstract

The informal institution of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) in the rice farming community in Bhera Village, Mego District, Sikka Regency, remains the main foundation of social solidarity and the sustainability of agricultural activities even though modernization and the use of labor have begun to shift traditional values. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used to explore the role, form, and meaning of mutual cooperation in agricultural practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies of rice farmers who are active in mutual cooperation activities. Data analysis was carried out through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the findings. The results show that mutual cooperation is manifested in every stage of farming, from uprooting seedlings, planting (planting), clearing weeds, to harvesting, which is carried out voluntarily and in turns through the Irutan Tradition system. This institution functions as a collective work mechanism that reduces production costs, overcomes labor shortages, and strengthens social ties between farmers. Beyond its economic function, mutual cooperation has profound social and cultural significance as a symbol of brotherhood, togetherness, and collective responsibility in maintaining the sustainability of local wisdom and the resilience of farming communities amidst social and technological change.

Abstract

Soil contamination by hydrocarbons, pesticides, heavy metals, and complex pollutants is rapidly increasing and degrading essential ecosystem functions. Physical or chemical treatments offer faster results, yet they are often costly, energy-intensive, and risk disrupting soil biological integrity without fully eliminating pollution sources. Microorganism-based bioremediation provides a more sustainable alternative by utilizing microbial metabolism to degrade or immobilize pollutants into less toxic and less mobile forms. This article presents a structured literature review on the roles and applications of microorganisms for bioremediation of contaminated soils, covering comparisons between single isolates and microbial consortia, dominant biological mechanisms, and ecological challenges in field application. A Systematic Literature Review approach was applied, using narrative synthesis and thematic clustering of national and international journals published between 2020 and 2025. The review indicates that single microbial isolates are commonly selected for specific pollutant targets, whereas microbial consortia are preferred for mixed or persistent contaminants due to metabolic synergy that enhances microbial adaptability and stepwise pollutant breakdown in highly polluted soils. Adaptive mechanisms such as EPS production and biofilm formation contribute to microbial resilience under stress and help retain contaminants within the soil matrix. Key challenges identified include inoculum stability under extreme conditions and limited microbial access to pollutants trapped in micro-soil pores. The findings highlight that microbial selection strategies must be tailored to pollutant characteristics and soil environmental conditions, while also emphasizing the potential of biofilm-based systems and organic carriers to support broader field implementation of microbial bioremediation.
