<![CDATA[Maize is a vital source of carbohydrates and livestock feed in Indonesia, where domestic demand is rising despite inconsistent productivity. Innovative cultivation methods, such as paclobutrazol (PBZ) application, are being explored to boost maize productivity. PBZ affects maize's growth, with its effectiveness depending on the timing of application. This study was to figure out the optimal timing of PBZ application to improve the synchronization of cob and female flower emergence, thereby maximizing plant growth and yield. The experiment utilized a randomized complete block design (RCBD) comprising five treatments: a control and four intervals for the second PBZ application (3, 6, 9, and 12 days after the first application), each replicated three times. Data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significant threshold, succeeded by Tukey’s test. Results showed that the timing of the second PBZ application significantly influenced maize growth and yield. A three-day interval after the first PBZ application produced the highest values in key morphological variables, such as green leaf index and total dry weight. This timing also optimized plant growth metrics, leading to higher maize yield. In conclusion, a three-day interval is recommended for maximizing maize productivity.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the efficiency of beef cattle supply chain management in Jember Regency during and after the Eid al-Adha period, and to evaluate the role of digital marketing in improving distribution. The research was conducted in July 2024 using a survey method with purposive sampling for selecting farmers and snowball sampling for marketing institutions. The results showed three marketing patterns: Pattern I (Producers directly to consumers using the “SAPI SIP” digital platform), Pattern II (Producers – Wholesalers – Agents outside the city/province), and Pattern III (Producers – Wholesalers – Religious institutions – Consumers). The most efficient marketing pattern during the Eid al-Adha period was Pattern I, with the highest farmer price share: 95.24% for male cattle and 94.29% for female cattle. This was due to the direct-to-consumer approach via digital marketing, which reduced intermediaries and transaction costs. After Eid al-Adha, Pattern I remained the most efficient for male cattle (88.00%), while Pattern III showed slightly higher efficiency for female cattle (90.17%) due to strong institutional buyer networks. These findings indicate that digital marketing can significantly improve supply chain efficiency and enhance farmer welfare, especially during seasonal demand surges.]]>
