Pelita Perkebunan
Core Subject : Agriculture,
Pelita Perkebunan, Coffee and Cocoa Research Journal (CCRJ): ISSN:0215-0212 Since its establishment in 1911, Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI) formerly Besoekisch Proefstation, had published its research findings through a journal call Mededelingen van het Besoekisch Proefstation. Between 1948-1981 the research institute was under the supervision of Bogor Research Institute for Estate Crops, and published its research findings through De Bergcultures which was later changed to Menara Perkebunan. Since the institute held the national mandate for coffee and cocoa commodities, and due to rapid increase in the research findings, ICCRI published its first issue of Pelita Perkebunanjournal in April 1985. Pelita Perkebunanis an international journal providing rapid publication of peer-reviewed articles concerned with coffee and cocoa commodities based on the aspects of agronomy, plant breeding, soil science, crop protection, postharvest technology and social economy. Papers dealing with result of original research on the above aspects are welcome, with no page charge. Pelita Perkebunan is managed by Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI), which publish the research findings not only for coffee and cocoa but also other commodities relevant with coffee and cocoa, i.e. shade trees, intercrops and wind breakers.

Abstract

Prolonged use of commonly used herbicides by cocoa farmers such as paraquat and glyphosate have been observed to have residual effects on the environment. Therefore there is a need to screen herbicides such as Glufosinate ammonium-based herbicides for use by cocoa farmers. The experiment was set up at the cocoa experimental plot of the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria Headquarters in Ibadan. The 3 treatments which were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design are slashing, 100 mls and 200 mls of Glufosinate ammonium per 16L of water (100 mls/16L and 200 mls/16L). Each experimental unit was 6 m × 6 m comprising nine cocoa stands. The treatments were replicated 3 times. Data on the soil's initial physico-chemical properties and after 3 months of each treatment were recorded. Mineral and heavy metal analysis of the leaves and pods before spraying and 3 months after spraying were recorded. The % weed control of the treatments was also observed. Treatment means were separated using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) at a 0.05% probability level. Results showed that Glufosinate ammonium applied at both rates did not load the soil, cocoa leaves and cocoa beans with heavy metals. 200 mls/16L had 85.00% weed control followed by 100 mls/16L (62.70%) and slashing (51.00%) which both had the same statistical result. Glufosinate ammonium at 100 mls/16L can replace slashing to eliminate drudgery while Glufosinate ammonium at 200 mls/16L can be used for more effective weed control without negative effects on the environment and the crop.

Abstract

The occurrence of non-fermented cocoa beans in the Indonesian market is still a huge challenge that needs to be solved. Unfermented cocoa beans are considered low-quality cocoa due to their low chocolate flavor and taste, and high bitterness and astringency levels. This limits its usability in the industries. An effort to utilize unfermented cocoa beans can be made through an alternative processing method utilizing an acidification process. Malic acid was used for acidification at various concentrations (0.01, 1, 2.5, and 5%). This acid solution was used to incubate the cocoa nibs for 1,3 and 5 hours. Physicochemical characteristics such as color changes, anthocyanin content, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of acidified cocoa nibs were analyzed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis was also utilized to evaluate the changes in the functional groups. The results showed that the acidification of cocoa nibs using >1% malic acid significantly altered the color of cocoa nibs from brownish-purple to reddish color. Anthocyanin and phenolic content of cocoa nibs could be preserved to more than 61 and 65%, resulting in preserved antioxidant activity (>66%). The use of 2.5% malic acid followed by incubation for 3 hours resulted in cocoa nibs with bright red color and highly-preserved bioactive compounds.

Abstract

There is increasing interest of Indonesian coffee farmers to propagate coffee plants by using generative seeds due to easiness on distribution and production.The harvest time of coffee seed and the time for sowing/planting is separated by six months. This requires coffee seeds to be stored at least for the period.Technology for coffee storage is challenging due to the characteristic of coffee seeds as intermediate seeds which are sensitive to drying. The development of efficient and effective storage methods for coffee seeds is urgently needed. This study was aimed to evaluate the germination viability and quality of coffee seedlings obtained from the seeds that have been stored for up to 12 months in the warehouse. This study employed five coffee varieties including three Arabica coffee (USDA 762, P 88, and Gayo 1), and two Robusta coffee (propellegitim and Hibiro). One kilogram package of each variety (four replications) was stored in the warehouse at a temperature of 20 °C ± 2 °C. Each replication of the coffee seeds was then evaluated for germination viability and seedling quality on 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of storage. Fresh coffee seeds (without storage) were used for comparison. The results showed a decrease in seeds’ moisture content during storage. Arabica coffee seeds were able to maintain their viability after six months of storage and Robusta coffee seeds after three months. Fresh coffee seeds showed the best seedling growth performance and seedling quality index. Arabica coffee USDA 762 stored for six months was able to produce seedlings with high plant performance, root length, stem diameter, and number of leaves similar to that of seedlings generated from fresh seed. Robusta coffee seedlings sown from fresh seeds had better quality compared to those from stored ones.

Abstract

Cocoa plant is widely cultivated in Indonesia and spread across various regions. Diversity in geographical conditions has been known to significantly affect the quality of cocoa beans. Practically, cocoa beans are often mixed without considering the variation in the quality and its origin. This resulted in reduced global quality and product inconsistency. Improved recognition and classification methods are needed to solve those problems. Non-destructive classification methods can be used to provide a more efficient classification process. The use of artificial intelligence with computer-based deep learning methods was used in this study. Beans samples of various origins (Aceh, Bali, Banten, Yogyakarta, East Kalimantan, West Sulawesi, and West Sumatera) were evaluated. From thecollected samples, 9100 images were then taken for data processing. Data preprocessing included denoising of the background image, cropping, resizing andchanging the storage extension through the training-validation stage and the testing process. AlexNet and ResNet architectures on a Convolutional NeuralNetwork were used for classification. The results showed that the average accuracy of cocoa image classification based on color identification by computer machines using Alexnet and ResNet was high (99.91% and 99.99%, respectively). This method can be applied to provide more efficient color-based cocoa bean classification for industrial purposes.

Abstract

Food insecurity is a lack of consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active and healthy life. This can be a temporary situation for a family or can last a long time. Food insecurity is one way to measure people’s food affordability. The aim of the study was to determine factors that affect food insecurity status among cocoa farming households in Ondo state, Nigeria. Multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select the respondentfarmers for the study. The first stage was the purposive selection of three Local Government Areas (LGAs) from the State. Second stage was the random selectionof 15 cocoa producing communities from the three selected LGAs (the selection was proportional to size), while the third stage was the random selection of 400cocoa farming households from the selected communities. Data were collected with the use of structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Probit regression analysis. Results revealed that the majority (73.8%) of the respondents were males, out of which 84.2% were literates with at least primary school education, while (93.7%) of the respondents had enough farming experience of more than 10 years. The major significant variable determinants of food insecurity in the study area were total household income, age, household size, level of education, membership of cooperative, access to credit and farm size. It is therefore recommended that farmers should be granted more access to credit facilities at low interest rates as this further guarantees their food security.
