Jurnal Agricultural Science published by Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Ratu Samban. This journal is published in one volume of two issues per year (Mey and November) by the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development. The journal publishes primary research articles of current research topics from all over the world, not simultaneously submitted to nor previously published in other scientific or technical journals. General review articles will not be accepted. The journal maintains strict standards of content, presentation, and reviewing. The official language of the journal is Indonesia and English. The journal will consider papers from any source if they make an original contribution to the experimental or theoretical understanding and application of theories and methodologies of some aspects of agricultural science. The definition of agricultural science is kept as broad as possible to allow the widest coverage in the journal including socio-economic aspects. The focus of the journal is in the following areas: Agronomy, animal science, soil science, climate and environment related to agricultural aspects. Agronomy covers the topics of plant breeding, physiology, production, biotechnology, plant protection (pest and disease) and post-harvest. Animal sciences include breeding, nutrition, reproduction, and disease. Soil Sciences cover aspects of mineralogy, classification, land evaluation, chemistry, fertility, fertilizer, conservation, and biology, aquaculture and marine, agribusiness, socio-economic.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of marinated catfish businesses, identify internal and external factors that influence the marketing of these products, and formulate development strategies that can be applied by UMKM actors. This study uses primary data obtained through open interviews with the help of questionnaires and direct observation of marinated catfish UMKM actors in Depok City. In addition, secondary data was collected from various relevant literature sources. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, involving three UMKM, namely LESIGO, Gerai D'Pita, and Terra Farm. The development strategy analysis was conducted descriptively and quantitatively using the SWOT Analysis method. The results of the IFE Matrix analysis showed a value of 2.52 for Lesigo UMKM, 2.66 for Gerai D'Pita, and 2.56 for Terra Farm. This indicates that internally, Gerai D'Pita is in a strong position, so it is recommended to utilize internal strengths as the main capital in facing competition. Meanwhile, Lesigo and Terra Farm are in an average position, which means that both UMKM need to optimize their potential and strengths. Meanwhile, the EFE Matrix results show a value of 3.21 for Lesigo, 3.61 for Gerai D'Pita, and 3.16 for Terra Farm. These values indicate that externally, the three marinated catfish UMKM in Depok City are in a position above.

Abstract

Excessive reliance on synthetic pesticides in modern agricultural systems has caused various serious problems, including pest resistance, ecosystem damage, and threats to human health. Ecology-based Integrated Pest Management (IPM) emerges as a promising alternative approach to address these challenges while enhancing agricultural productivity sustainably. This research aims to analyze ecology-based IPM strategies and evaluate their effectiveness in improving sustainable agricultural productivity. The research method uses a qualitative approach with systematic literature review of scientific publications from 2019 to 2024, case studies of IPM implementation in various countries, and comparative analysis between IPM systems and conventional pest management. Data were collected from 78 reputable journal articles, technical reports from international agricultural organizations, and field practice documentation. The analysis results show that ecology-based IPM implementation can reduce synthetic pesticide use by up to 65 percent while maintaining or even increasing crop productivity by 12 to 18 percent compared to conventional systems. Key components of IPM strategy include systematic pest population monitoring, utilization of natural enemies through conservation and augmentation, crop diversification and rotation to disrupt pest life cycles, use of pest-resistant varieties, habitat manipulation to enhance functional biodiversity, and application of biological and selective pesticides only when necessary based on economic thresholds. IPM implementation faces challenges including higher technical knowledge requirements, time investment for intensive monitoring, and transition periods requiring ecosystem adjustment. However, long-term benefits including ecological sustainability, better soil health, reduced input costs, and agricultural system resilience to climate change make IPM a highly prospective strategy. Policy recommendations include development of farmer training programs, incentives for IPM practice adoption, support for research and development of pest-resistant varieties, and integration of IPM in agricultural education curricula.
