Melakukan evaluasi pengaruh pupuk kandang ayam dan NPKMg terhadap produktivitas tanaman aren. Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata Merr.) is a plantation commodity that is very beneficial ecologically and financially because it can adapt to various geographical conditions such as mountains, valleys, riverbanks, and undulating land. However, the development of this plant is still constrained by low cultivation intensification, unstructured planting patterns, and optimal land use, resulting in low productivity. Increasing the productivity of sugar palm plants can be achieved through intensive cultivation. The purpose of this study was to study how chicken manure and NPKMg fertilizer affect the growth of sugar palm plants and determine the best fertilizer dosage.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of fertilization application techniques and fertilization intervals on the growth of ornamental caladium (Caladium sp.). The research was conducted using a factorial randomized block design consisting of two factors, namely fertilization application techniques and fertilization intervals. The fertilization application techniques included spraying, drenching, and broadcasting, while the fertilization intervals consisted of once a week, once every two weeks, and once every three weeks. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, and root length. The results showed that fertilization application techniques significantly affected plant height, number of leaves, and leaf area, with the best treatment being the drenching technique. Fertilization intervals had a significant effect on the number of leaves, with the best result obtained from fertilization applied once a week. There was a significant interaction between fertilization application techniques and fertilization intervals on the number of leaves, with the best combination being drenching application and weekly fertilization. Therefore, the drenching fertilization technique combined with a one-week interval is recommended to enhance the growth of ornamental caladium plants.

Abstract

Land suitability evaluation is essential for optimizing maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation in dryland agricultural areas. This study aimed to evaluate the actual and potential land suitability classes for maize cultivation in Slogohimo District, Central Java, and to formulate appropriate land management strategies. The research employed a descriptive-explorative method using the Land Mapping Unit (LMU) approach combined with field observations. LMUs were delineated through integration of soil type and slope class maps, followed by suitability evaluation using the matching method. The results showed that actual land suitability varied across the study area, and no land was classified as Highly Suitable (S1). Potential land suitability in LMU 1, 3, and 4 was classified as Marginally Suitable (S3) with limiting factors including water availability (wa), nutrient retention (nr), and erosion hazard (eh). Meanwhile, LMU 1 and 5 were classified as Not Suitable (N) due to steep slopes (>25%) and shallow soil depth. Improvement scenarios involving organic matter application, liming, and soil conservation practices increased the potential suitability of LMU 3 and 4 to Moderately Suitable (S2). These findings provide important information for sustainable land management for maize cultivation in Slogohimo District.

Abstract

Agricultural extension plays an important role in improving farmers’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills through effective communication. However, extension activities still face challenges, including low meeting intensity, irregular activities, and limited interaction between extension workers and farmers, which may affect communication effectiveness within farmer groups. This study aimed to analyze the effect of extension frequency on communication effectiveness among farmer groups. A quantitative approach was employed in farmer groups in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia, involving 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability and were analyzed using simple linear regression with SPSS. The results showed that extension frequency had a positive and significant effect on communication effectiveness, with a significance value of 0.030 (<0.05) and a regression coefficient of 0.260. Higher extension frequency improved message comprehension, feedback, communication openness, and farmers’ attitudes. Therefore, increasing the frequency of extension activities should be supported by appropriate communication methods to optimize information delivery to farmers.

Abstract

Fermented beverages are increasingly viewed as business opportunities, but positive market perceptions do not always translate into entrepreneurial readiness. This study identified consumer-perceived dimensions of business potential and development barriers for fermented beverages. A quantitative survey was conducted in 2025 with 121 consumers in Java aged 17-30, 31-50, and over 50 years. Respondents had consumed at least one fermented beverage and completed a structured questionnaire through face-to-face assistance using Google Forms. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and principal component analysis with Varimax rotation. Business potential formed two factors explaining 75.016% of variance: market potential and product substitution capacity, and entrepreneurial and investment attractiveness. The market/substitution factor had a higher mean (3.438) than entrepreneurial/investment attractiveness (3.102). Development barriers formed two factors explaining 78.399% of variance: accessibility and market acceptance barriers, and technical production barriers. Technical production barriers had a higher mean (3.479) than accessibility/market acceptance (2.781). These findings indicate that consumers recognize fermented beverages as promising products, especially as alternatives to sugar-sweetened beverages, but are less ready to start or invest in the business. Business development should combine market expansion with technical training, simplified procedures, input access, food safety guidance, financing, and marketing support.

Abstract

Processed corn products have potential as value-added food products, but their development depends on consumer behavior and its influencing factors. This study aimed to describe consumer behavior toward processed corn products and analyze the factors affecting it. The research was conducted in Jatinangor District from January to February 2026 using a quantitative survey method. A total of 102 respondents were selected using purposive sampling, with the criteria of knowing or having consumed processed corn products. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results showed that consumer behavior was in the moderate-to-high category. The regression model had an R Square of 0.354, indicating that the independent variables explained 35.4% of consumer behavior variation. Price, promotion, product availability, family or friend influence, stress or fatigue, practicality, social media, age, and urban residence significantly affected consumer behavior. Social media had the largest positive coefficient, suggesting its key role in encouraging consumer behavior. The findings recommend strengthening digital promotion, product accessibility, practical packaging, and competitive pricing.

Abstract

PT Kartel Daun International cultivates, hybridizes, and markets ornamental Anthurium, but its domestic sales remain volatile. This study described the marketing system, identified factors associated with domestic demand, and formulated development strategies. A qualitative case study involved 12 informants from management, operational and sales staff, and domestic consumers. Data from in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation were validated through source and technique triangulation, then analyzed inductively using NVivo and qualitative SWOT. The company applied hybrid marketing through social media, marketplaces, websites, live sales, and greenhouse visits, supported by barcode, SKU, and RFID inventory systems. Domestic demand was associated with consumer knowledge, price perception, purchasing experience, substitute products, purchasing power, and preferences for unique plant characteristics. Collectors evaluated price relative to rarity, leaf form, verified identity, and service quality. The proposed strategies comprise localized sales channels and payment methods, entry-level product segmentation, and value-based communication to broaden the domestic market while preserving premium positioning.
