Abstract

The province of Bangka Belitung islands are producing areas of black pepper from which Muntok White Pepper wellkown over the world is produced. Unportunetely, the exported commodity is obtained through traditional agricultural system, where cultivated lands of the crop commonly move from one site to others, after 2-3 times of harversting seasons. In establishing of pepper vine orchards, farmers usually open secondary forests (forested lands) and followed by burning any dried parts of cut plants. This may result in declining of soil fertility, productivity of the crop, and its economical life as much humus and soil organic matter is burned as well. The growth of pepper vines will become worse since farmers commonly do not look after the crops properly, including added fertilizers adequately. In the future, such approach may not be maintained due to narrowed land-ownership generated by increase of population and other land use purposes. Therefore, fixed cultivation of the crops may be a single solution in growing pepper vines at Babel. In other words, the crops should be cultivated intensively by introducing proper management of the crops. Any main factors believed to be causes why farmers do so should be identified. The approach is expected to improve productivity, economical life of the crop more than 7 years) and sustainable.

Abstract

Indonesian ginger production rate decreased 13.3% per year in the last decade, and put Indonesia into a position to the 14 ginger exporter countries which was originally the main exporting country, due to the decline rate of productivity during the period 2004-2011. Over the periode of 2004 to 2011, the decline productivity reached of 5,88% per year and harvested area 2,03% per year. The decline productivity as the impact of the use of carelessly seed, pest and disease, application of unappropriate cultivation techniques, climate change, and competition with more profitable commodities, so that influences to the rate of planted area. To be able to compete in the free market, the strengthening of farmer capital and infrastructure improvements policy along with assistance for the implementation of cultivation techniques in accordance to the GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and the use of of superior varieties, healthy seeds, and socialization good agriculture practices needs to be done. In the future, research to generate high yielding varieties resistant to pest and bacterial wilt disease and high moisture, as well as cultivation technology that can overcome climate change should be carried out.

Abstract

Plant parasitic nematodes are one of the most important plant pests that attack a variety of estate crops like pepper, patchouli, coffee, tobacco and ginger. Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, and Radopholus the most destructive parasitic nematodes in these commodities. Yield Losses due to nematodes on black pepper can reduce the production of 32%, 75% in patchouli, 58% ginger and 57% at the coffee. Controlling nematodes are widely used at this time are endophytic bacteria. Endophytic bacteria are live bacteria that colonize the host plant tissues without causing any negative effects, but giving many benefits to their host, because it can be as biological agents, and trigger the growth of plants. Mechanism of action endophytic bacteria in controlling nematodes are induce resistance, competition nische, and produce anti-nematode metabolites, that affect on the penetration, reproduction and nematode populations. The use of endophytic bacteria Achromobacter xylosoxidans (TT2), Bacillus cereus (MSK), Alcaligenes faecalis (NJ16), Bacillus subtilis (NJ57) and Pseudomonas putida (EH11) on patchouli can suppress nematode populations of P. brachyurus at 54.8 to 70.6 %. Endophytic bacteria Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. can reduce the incidence of yellow disease and nematode populations of R. similis and M. incognita, as well as increase the number of flowers/ node and the wet weight of the black pepper, and endophytic bacteria Bacillus pumilus and B. mycoides can suppress the population and the number of root knot nematode M. incognita 33 - 39% of the coffee plant. Development of endophytic bacteria to control parasitic nematodes in estate crop is very promising because of endophytic bacteria as a biological control agent is superior to another agent, can be isolated from all parts of the plant, propagation media inexpensive, easy application and not repetitive. Endophytic bacteria may be of biological agents and plant growth promoters, its use can reduce synthetic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers so very supportive to sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Peranan benih sebagai salah satu faktor keberhasilan dalam sistem budidaya aneka tanaman perkebunan (mente, makadamia, kemii, melinjo, dan tamarin) semakin penting untuk meningkatkan ekspor dan daya saing produk. Sampai saat ini penggunaan benih unggul bermutu masih sangat terbatas, hal ini disebabkan karena kurang tersedianya benih unggul. Untuk itu, perbanyakan benih unggul sangat diperlukan, untuk mendukung program pengembangan aneka tanaman perkebunan. Hal ini, sangat mendesak, karena dalam krisis ekonomi yang terus berlanjut sampai dewasa ini, aneka tanaman perkebunan ternyata mampu menghasilkan devisa. Melalui kerjasama (team work), dari intedisiplin (pemulia, ekofisiologi/teknologi benih, hama penyakit, pasca panen dan pengambil kebijakan), diharapkan pengadaan benih unggul bermutu akan cepat terealisasi. Beberapa faktor harus diperhaikan agar perbanyakan benih unggul yang memenuhi 5 (lima) kriteria tepat (tepat jenis, tepat mutu, tepat jumlah, tepat waktu dan tepat harga) dapat tercapai. Dalam makalah ini akan dibahas mengenai produksi dan penanganan benih aneka tanaman perkebunan dengan fokus, pemanfaatan pohon induk, pemilihan lokasi produksi pemeliharaan kebun induk, waktu dan pelaksanaan panen, cara pengeringan, penyimpanan, dan serifikasi/ pengawasan mutu. Melalui usaha tersebut diharapkan pengadaan benih unggul aneka tanaman perkebunan yang memenuhi lima kriteria tepat dapat terpenuhi. Selanjutnya diharapkan dapat mendukung program pengembangan aneka tanaman perkebunan, meningkatkan produkivitas, kualitas dan daya saing produk aneka tanaman perkebunan.Kata kunci : Produksi, penanganan benih, aneka tanaman perkebunan

Abstract

Naturally, occuring entomopathogens are important as a regulatory factors in insect pest population. N. rileyi isolated from H. armigera cadavers on corn silks and leaves of tomato and cotton is an important entomopathogenic fungi causing natural mortality in more than 10 lepidopteran insects throughout the world. One of these pests is cotton bollworm or corn budworm, H. armigera was found naturally infected by N. rileyi around Malang and Lamongan, East Java. Field observation recorded that number of infected larvae by N. rileyi increased every year in the field. This indicated that epizootic of N. rileyi developed rapidly in host population. To study the potency of N. rileyi as a mortality factor of H. armigera, a series of test should be arranged e.g. isolation, purification, biological characteristic test, such as growth rate, conidia production, and testing of virulence against target insect pest. N. rileyi was isolated from infected larvae of H. armigera in the field, then purified and re-cultured on Sabouraud Maltose Agar with yeast extract (SMAY) medium. The objective of this paper is to inform the potency of N. rileyi as a bio control agent against H. armigera. There were two strains of N. rileyi, MA 01 and LG 02 collected from H. amigera larvae cadaver from Malang and Lamongan, East java. Laboratory test on germination showed that the germination rate of both strains MA 01 and LG 02 were faster on SMAY media (1,25-1,27 mm/day) than that on SMAY+rice extract (SMAYR) media (0,99-1,07 mm/day). Yield of conidia cultured on SMAY was higher on LG 02 than on MA 01 as 3,9 x 109 conidia/ml and 1,7 x 109conidia/ml, respectively. Strain LG 02 was more virulence than MA 01 against second instar of H. armigera with 76 and 64% of percentage mortality, respectively. Concentration of N. rileyi conidia for 50% mortality of tested larvae (LC50) was 5,2 x 106 conidia/ml and 7,2 x 106 conidia/ml for LG 02 and MA 01, respectively with average LT50 were 5,9-8,4 days. However, these early studies need further testing to find out the whole potency of N. rileyi in controling of H. armigera, mainly  study on virulence against other insect host, compatibility to other control methods and suitable technique for mass production, such as effective and efficient. Key words: Entomopathogen, Nomuraea rileyi, isolate, strain, mortality, conidia,  virulence

Abstract

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) merupakan tanaman penghasil serat alam yang dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku untuk karung goni, door trim, fibre drain, geoteksil, bubur ketas (pulp) dan kerajinan rumah tangga yang ramah lingkungan. Perusahaan swasta yang berada di Kabupaten Pasuruan Jawa Timur telah mengembangkan kenaf untuk diambil seratnya. Produk yang dihasilkan dari perusahaan tersebut adalah door trim, inteior mobil. Usahatani di lahan rawa musiman (bonorowo), sebelum ditemukan kenaf dan sejenisnya hanya dilakukan satu kali saja. Penanaman padi dilakukan pada awal bulan Pebruai setelah banjir mulai surut dan berakhir pada bulan Juni. Pada musim berikutnya, bulan Juli sampai dengan Oktober keadaan lahan hero, karena musim kemarau dan lahan keing. Bilamana dipaksakan ditanami padi lagi air idak mencukupi dan resiko kegagalan tinggi. Bulan Nopember sampai dengan Januai musim penghujan iba dan lahan dalam keadaan banjir, sehingga bero masih berlanjut. Dengan sisa waktu 3 bulan yaitu Juli-September, tanaman kenaf dapat diusahakan. Pada permulaannya kenaf ditanam secara monokultur, kemudian berubah menjadi tumpangsai jagung dan kenaf. Kenaf yang ditanam di lahan bonorowo adalah varietas Hc.48. Kelemahan dai vaietas He. 48 yaitu peka terhadap fotopeiodisitas dan sudah mengalami degradasi produksi. Balittas telah melepas vaietas-vaietas baru seperti Kr. 6; Kr. 7; Kr. 8 ; Kr. 9 dan Kr. 11 dan pada musim tanam 1999/2000 vaietas lama yang digunakan sudah diganti. Kelebihan dai varietas-vaietas baru kenaf tersebut yaitu kurang peka terhadap fotopeiodisitas dan mempunyai tingkat produkivitas yang tinggi (2,5 - 3,0 ton/ha). Pendapatan usahatani tumpangsai jagung (Arjuno) dan kenaf (Kr. 6) lebih tinggi dibanding dengan monokultur kenaf ataupun jagung. Hasil analisis pendapatan usahatani tumpang¬ sari jagung dan kenaf dapat mencapai Rp. 2.906.750,-/ ha. Sedang monokultur jagung dan kenaf masing-masing hanya menghasilkan pendapatan usahatani sebesar Rp. 1.173.250,- dan 1.776.000,- /ha.Kata kunci: Kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus, jagung, usahatani, tumpangsai, monokultur, bonorowo. ABSTRACT Improving the income of Kenaf farming through improving the technology for flooded land Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is a natural fiber producer. The fiber is used as mateial for bast fiber, door trim, fiber drain, geotexile, pulp and home industry. A pivate company locaed in Pasuruan Distict, East Java has developed kenaf to produce the natural fiber. The products are door trim and car inerior. Before kenaf was found, there was only one farming system in floded land in a year. Rice was planed early in February when the flood decreased and it finished in June. The next season, July to October the land was not used for plantation because it is dry season and the land is lack of waer. Planting ice in this season is isky because the waer stock is not enough to waer the ice plant. The ainy season comes in November to January, the land can not used for planing, because the land is flooded. The rest of the months can be used for kenaf plantaion (July-Sepember). Previously kenaf was planted in monoculture sysem, laer it is inercropped with corn. Beside geting income from kenaf fiber, the farmers also got it from corn plantaion. Corn was harvested first then kenaf. Kenaf that was planted in flooded land was He. 48. The weaknes of He. 48 vaiety was sensitive to photopeiode and its producivity was degraded. Therefore, the Research Cener for Tobacco and Fiber Crops released new vaieies, Kr. 6; Kr. 7; Kr. 8; Kr. 9 and Kr. 11. So that, in the planting season of 1999/2000 the small holder bast fiber inensificaion used the new vaieies. The new vaieies wee not sensitive to photoperiode and had high producivity (2.5 up to 3 tons per ha). These vaieties can be intercroped with corn. The inercropping of kenaf (Kr.6) with corn (Arjuna) produced higher yield compared to that of kenaf or corn monoculture sysem. The results of the analysis is that kenaf and corn intercropping can each Rp. 2,906,750 per ha. While corn and kenaf monoculture sysem can each Rp. 1,173,250 and Rp. 1,776, 000 per ha respecivelly.Key words : Kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus, corn, farming sysem, intercropping, monoculture, flooded land

Abstract

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) is very important to the economy of communities in marginal areas, such as provinces of NTT, NTB, South Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi. Demand of cashew keeps increasing, however, crop productivity is still low so that the production and farmers' income are not optimal yet. Low crop productivity is caused partly by old plant age, random seeds usage, and in-appropriate application of cultivation techniques. To increase production and productivity of the cashew nationally, Directorate General of Estate Plantation has developed a road map for development and rejuvenation of cashew crop until the year 2025, with an average area of 213,430 ha/year. Replanting development will require as many as 32,014,500 seed stems/year. High Producing Blocks are only capable of providing seed as much as 4.69% of the total need, while to cover the rest, it is required to construct 823.7 ha of plantation master. Parent garden can be built in areas of development centers, in the form of the parent composite garden consisting of 3-4 superior varieties. Area per farm holding should be not less than 100 ha or in accordance with the scale of the effort to stem the garden.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Peningkatan hasil produksi pertanian khususnya pada tanaman rempah dan obat lebih banyak menggunakan pupuk kimia. Hal tersebut dapat memberikan efek negatif bagi lingkungan, antara lain degradasi lahan baik secara fisik (degradasi struktur tanah), kimia dan biologi, serta polusi air tanah. Solusi yang diupayakan untuk menanggulangi dampak penggunaan pupuk kimia yaitu pemanfaatan mikroorganisme dalam pupuk hayati. Aplikasi pupuk hayati sudah dikembangkan secara luas pada tanaman rempah dan obat. Pupuk hayati menjaga lingkungan tanah yang kaya hara mikro dan makro melalui fiksasi nitrogen, pelarutan fosfor dan mineralisasi kalium, pelepasan zat pengatur tumbuh tanaman, produksi antibiotik dan biodegradasi bahan organik tanah. Mikroorganisme yang digunakan dalam pupuk hayati terdiri dari berbagai macam, seperti mikoriza, fungi dan bakteri, baik yang bersimbiosis dengan tanaman maupun yang hidup bebas di lingkungan.  Banyak penelitian yang telah dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pupuk hayati pada tanaman rempah dan obat. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa pupuk hayati memberikan pengaruh positif pada berbagai tanaman rempah dan obat seperti lada, cengkeh, jahe, artemisia, ketumbar, panili, adas, dan lain-lain. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada peningkatan parameter pertumbuhan tanaman (tinggi, jumlah dan luas daun, perakaran), maupun hasil senyawa metabolit sekunder yang dihasilkan. Penggunaan pupuk hayati pada tanaman memberi dampak kesehatan manusia dan lingkungan.  ABSTRACT Increased agricultural production, especially in spices and medicinal plants utilize chemical fertilizers wildly. It could provide negative effect to the environment, including land degradation by physically (soil structure degradation), chemically and biologically, and also groundwater pollution. Attempted solutions to cope with the impact of chemical fertilizers utilization is by using beneficial microorganisms in the form of biofertilizer. Biofertilizer maintains soil environment having rich in micro and macro nutrients through N fixation, solubilize and mineralize phosphorus and potassium, release plant growth regulators, antibiotic production and biodegradation of soil organic matter. There are various kinds of microorganisms contain in biofertilizers, such as mycorrhiza, fungi and bacteria, which have mutual symbiotic with plants and also free-living microorganisms in their environment. The application of biological fertilizer has been developed extensively on spices and medicinal plants. Many studies have been conducted to find the effect of biofertilizer on spices and medicinal plants. The results showed that the usage of biofertilizers have a positive effect on various crops and medicinal spices such as pepper, clove, ginger, artemisia, coriander, vanilla, fennel, and others. It can be seen on the increase of plant growth and secondary metabolites content produced by these plants.

Abstract

The increase of cocoa production faces many problems such as black pod disease caused by Phytophthora palmivora. The disease may reduce the production of cocoa up to 44%. Control of the disease by chemical fungicides is costly and creates negative impact to humans and environment. Utilizing plant material which is resistant to black pod disease is an alternative to overcome this problem.  It is also a long-term solution, which require information on the mechanism of cocoa resistance. Mechanism of plant resistance to diseases determined by structural and biochemical mechanism that work on the entire cycle of disease, both before penetration and after infection. Distribution activity of inoculum of P. palmivora in the disease cycle is influenced by the morphological characters of cocoa pod as a deposition of  inoculum pre-penetration and inoculum penetration ability into the fruit tissue. Cocoa varieties in Indonesia resistant to black pod disease are ICCRI3, ICCRI 4, Sca 6, Sca 12 dan DRC 16. Key words: cocoa, mechanism of resistance, Phytophthora  palmivora Butl.

Abstract

ABSTRAKIndonesia adalah negara penghasil sekaligus pengekspor pala nomor satu di dunia. Pala merupakan komoditas strategis sub sektor perkebunan karena selain sebagai penghasil devisa negara juga penyerap lapangan kerja dengan melibatkan jumlah petani yang cukup banyak. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah masih rendahnya produktivitas dan kualitas pala Indonesia dibandingkan negara pengekspor pala lainnya, seperti Grenada dan India, sehingga daya saingnya menjadi rendah. Saat ini telah dilepas 4 varietas unggul pala yang mempunyai potensi produksi antara 5.120 - 7.500 butir/pohon atau 1.000 - 1.500 kg /tahun dengan kadar minyak atsiri pada biji antara 10,80% - 11,85% dan pada fuli antara 13,9% - 20%. Apabila dalam pengembangan luas areal pertanaman pala menggunakan tanaman sambungan dari varietas unggul, maka potensi peningkatan produktivitasnya dapat ditingkatkan dari 472 kg/tahun menjadi 1.500 kg/tahun. Agar potensi produksi dari varietas unggul tersebut muncul, maka perlu didukung dengan teknologi budidaya yang benar dan efisien, seperti penentuan jarak tanam yang optimal, penentuan rekomendasi pupuk yang berimbang dan spesifik lokasi, serta optimasi sex ratio untuk meningkatkan tanaman yang produktif dari 60% menjadi 90% dengan penyambungan in situ. Namun, melihat perkembangan penelitian pala sampai saat ini, informasi hasil penelitian budidaya pala masih sangat terbatas. Oleh karena itu perlu disusun strategi penelitian budidaya untuk mendukung peningkatan produktivitas dan kualitas hasil yang efisien. Tersedianya teknologi budidaya pala yang applicable dan feasible akan mendorong tercapainya efisiensi peningkatan produktivitas dan kualitas, sehingga selain berdampak terhadap peningkatan pendapatan petani juga akan meningkatkan daya saing pala Indonesia di pasar internasional. Kata kunci : Myristica fragrans, budidaya, daya saing, efisien,  produktivitas.ABSTRACT Indonesia is the first producer and exporter of nutmeg in the world. Nutmeg is a strategic commodity since it generates foreign exchange as well as providing jobs for number of farmers.  The main problem in nutmeg is low productivity and product quality, hence the competitiveness is lower than other exporting countries such as Grenada and India. Currently, has been released four varieties of nutmeg prefetch queue that have the potential to produce between 5.120 - 7.500 grains/tree or 1.000 -1.500 kg/year with oil content in seeds between 10,80% - 11,85% and the mace between 13,9% - 20%. If the development of area using grafting material of  high-yielding varieties, the potential increase in productivity can be increased from 472 kg/year to 1.500 kg/year. In order for the potential production of high-yielding varieties appear, it needs to be supported with cultivation technology properly and efficiently, such as determining the optimal spacing, determination fertilizer recommendations impartial and specific locations, and optimization of sex ratio for increasing productive plant from 60% to 90 %  with graftign in situ. However, information related to research cultivation on nutmeg is very limited.  Therefore, it is important to develop research strategies of cultivation to support the improvement of productivity and product quality of nutmeg efficiently. The availability of cultivation  technology applicable and feasible, the efforts to increase the productivity and quality of nutmeg be achieved efficiently, so that in addition to impact on farmers' income increase of nutmeg will also improve the competitiveness of Indonesian nutmeg in the international market. Keywords: Myristica fragrans, cultivation, competiti-veness, efficient, quality, productivity.
