Abstract

Introduction: Urban agriculture in Indonesia faces critical challenges including agricultural land conversion, aging farmer workforce (39% over 55 years, only 21% millennials), and rural urban inequality. While deep learning technologies prove effective for agricultural optimization, Indonesia lags neighboring countries due to regulatory ambiguity, limited incentives, and low youth participation. This study develops Urfalogy, an artificial intelligence powered platform addressing three primary urban farming constraints: limited space, insufficient capital, and inadequate technology. Methods: This research employed Agile software development methodology integrated with deep learning. The You Only Look Once version 8 (YOLOv8) algorithm was utilized for environmental object detection and segmentation. Dataset preprocessing included multiple augmentation techniques: scaling, geometric transformation, brightness adjustment, contrast and color saturation modifications. The platform integrates nine features: artificial intelligence layout designer, plant variety recommender, plant health detection, soil monitoring with internet of things sensors, e-commerce, real time expert consultation, appointment scheduling, interactive tutorials, and analytics dashboard. Finding: Model training achieved optimal performance metrics at epoch 100: segment loss of 0.56756, recall of 90.01%, and mean Average Precision at intersection over union 0.50 (mAP50) of 90.715%. During inference, the model successfully identified environmental components (ceiling, wall, floor), enabling precise spatial mapping for garden layout design. The integrated platform demonstrates comprehensive end to end capability supporting complete urban farming workflow from planning through sales. Conclusion: Urfalogy represents a transformative solution effectively bridging Indonesia's urban agriculture gap through artificial intelligence, Internet of Things integration, and human centered design, significantly advancing sustainability, food security, and economic opportunities. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research uniquely combines deep learning-based spatial optimization with comprehensive platform ecosystem design, integrating YOLOv8 environmental analysis with real-time consultation and e-commerce, addressing specific technological, economic, and accessibility barriers in Indonesian urban agriculture.

Abstract

Background: Semiochemicals, including volatile and non-volatile organic compounds used in insect communication, offer environmentally friendly alternatives to broad-spectrum pesticides. In particular, sex pheromones have gained prominence in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) due to their species-specific action and reduced ecological impact. Understanding their chemical structures, biosynthetic pathways, and olfactory mechanisms is essential to optimize their application across diverse crop systems. Methods: This study presents a comprehensive review of 15 peer-reviewed publications (2010–2025). It synthesizes findings on pheromone chemistry, enzymatic biosynthesis pathways, olfactory reception mechanisms, and field-level applications. The analysis integrates molecular characterization, biochemical pathways, and empirical performance data from 35 major agricultural pests to evaluate efficacy and economic impact. Findings: Lepidopteran sex pheromones primarily consist of Type I (C₁₀–C₁₈ unsaturated alcohols, aldehydes, acetate esters; ~75%) and Type II (C₁₇–C₂₃ polyunsaturated hydrocarbons; ~15%) compounds. Biosynthesis involves key enzymes such as ACC, FAS, Δ12-desaturase, and FAR. Olfactory detection occurs via GPCR-mediated signal transduction in antennal sensilla. Field evidence shows pheromone-based strategies—monitoring, mass trapping, mating disruption, and attract-and-kill—achieve 60–95% pest suppression while reducing pesticide costs by an average of 59%. Controlled-release formulations enable sustained delivery for 30–120 days. Conclusion: Semiochemical-based IPM represents a scientifically validated, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable pest control strategy. By targeting species-specific communication systems, it reduces chemical dependency while maintaining high suppression efficiency. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This review integrates molecular chemistry, enzymatic biosynthesis, neuro-olfactory mechanisms, and large-scale field validation into a unified analytical framework. By linking mechanistic biochemical insights with applied agricultural performance data, it strengthens the scientific foundation and practical justification for semiochemical-driven IPM as a sustainable alternative to conventional pesticide regimes.

Abstract

Background: Sugarcane smut disease, caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, is one of the most destructive fungal diseases affecting sugarcane production in Indonesia. Although the national plantation area has expanded in recent years, productivity and sugar recovery rates remain low, hindering the achievement of sugar self-sufficiency. Understanding pathogen characteristics and improving disease management strategies are therefore critical to strengthening national sugarcane sustainability. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach based on secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the Ministry of Agriculture, and peer-reviewed scientific literature published within the last 5–10 years. The analysis covered national cultivation trends, pathogen morphology, and recent advances in chemical and biological control strategies. Findings: Indonesia’s sugarcane plantation area increased from 429,959 ha in 2018 to 494,764 ha in 2023; however, sugar recovery rates remain low (6.5–7.5%). Morphologically, S. scitamineum produces characteristic black whip-like structures containing brown teliospores, which disperse through wind, water, and infected planting materials. Disease control strategies include seed-cane treatment with systemic fungicides (e.g., flutriafol, propiconazole, triadimefon) and hot-water treatment. Biological control agents such as Trichoderma spp., Streptomyces spp., and Bacillus spp. demonstrate more than 70% suppression of pathogen growth. Recent developments emphasize integrated management combining genetic resistance, chemical protection, biological control, and molecular technologies. Conclusion: Effective management of sugarcane smut in Indonesia requires an integrated and sustainable approach that combines agronomic, chemical, biological, and molecular strategies. Strengthening disease control systems is essential to improving productivity and supporting national sugar security. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides an updated synthesis linking national production trends with pathogen biology and integrated control innovations. By connecting macro-level agricultural data with micro-level pathogen characteristics and emerging molecular approaches, it offers a comprehensive framework for sustainable smut disease management in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: The increasing use of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides has generated environmental, economic, and health concerns, creating a need for sustainable agricultural innovations. Organic waste has potential as a natural source of nutrients and bioactive compounds, particularly nitrogen and alkaloids, which can support plant growth and provide pest protection. Methods: This study applied an experimental and descriptive approach through the extraction of nitrogen and alkaloid compounds from organic waste, followed by product formulation using controlled mixing techniques with natural binders. The effectiveness of the formulated product, GroTox, was evaluated based on plant growth performance and pest resistance indicators using descriptive analysis. Findings: The results showed that GroTox was effective in optimizing plant growth while simultaneously enhancing protection against pests. Nitrogen contributed to plant metabolic processes, whereas alkaloids functioned as natural antimicrobial and insect-repellent agents. The product demonstrated the synergistic benefits of combining nutritional and protective functions within a single formulation. Conclusion: GroTox has strong potential as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective agricultural input that supports sustainable farming systems. The product may help reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides while contributing to ecological balance and sustainable agriculture practices. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of plant nutritional and pest-protective functions within a single organic waste–based formulation. This innovation offers a practical and sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural inputs while supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.
