Abstract

This research has been carried out to identify areas that were suitable for planting superior crops in Nagari Lawang, Matur District, Agam Regency. This research was conducted using the matching method and then was continued with scoring of the slope, rainfall, C-Organic, soil pH, and soil texture parameters. The obtained values ??were used to determine the classification of land suitability for sugar cane, corn, peanuts and shallots. Land with the potential for planting sugar cane, corn, peanuts, and shallots is land in the very suitable (S1) and suitable (S2) suitability classes. Several commodities can be planted on a piece of land depending on the suitability of the characteristics of the land to the conditions for growing plants. The results of the analysis show that the land in Nagari Lawang that is suitable for planting sugar cane is 380.23 ha (27.57%), corn is 380.23 ha (27.57%), peanuts is 362.57 ha (26.29%), and shallots is 380.23 ha (27.57%) of the total land area of ??Nagari Lawang. Nagari Lawang's land (2023) that has been planted (S1 and S2 classes) with sugar cane covers an area of ??184.26 ha, corn covers an area of ??2.6 ha, peanuts covers an area of ??2.09 ha, and shallots covers an area of ??0.12 ha. The potential for developing sugar cane is 195.97 ha, corn is 377.63 ha, peanuts is 360.48 ha and shallots is 380.11 ha, respectively.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of edible coating based on oil palm derivatives with the addition of chitosan in maintaining the quality of Pondoh Wonosobo salak fruit during storage. The edible coating is formulated from palm stearin esters (the result of a synthesis reaction) as well as chitosan, carrageenan, GMS, and Tween 80 additives. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatments, namely control and coating, and data analysis using descriptive statistics in the form of averages and standard deviations presented in the form of quality change graphs. Salak was coated with a selective coating and/ , stored at room temperature for 12 days, with the observed parameters including weight loss, hardness, total dissolved solids, acidity, vitamin C, and moisture content. The results showed that edible coating was effective in suppressing quality degradation, characterized by lower weight loss (24.1% vs. 48.7% control). The coating treatment also showed a tendency to maintain hardness, total dissolved solids, vitamin C, and moisture content better than controls. This innovation has the potential to extend the shelf life of salak.

Abstract

The Singojuruh District in Banyuwangi Regency plays a pivotal role in rice cultivation, characterized by a large agricultural area and the highest levels of rice production and productivity compared to other districts. Among the various rice farming practices, organic red rice cultivation has emerged as a promising alternative due to its growing market demand and favorable selling prices for farmers. However, its productivity and profitability remain suboptimal, primarily due to the limited use of agricultural machinery such as transplanters and combine harvesters. This study aims to examine the effects of mechanization—specifically the use of transplanters and combine harvesters—on working time, labor requirements, and farmers' income in organic red rice farming in the Singojuruh District. A survey method was employed, involving farmers as respondents to assess the relative conditions, distribution patterns, and inter-variable relationships. Furthermore, an independent sample t-test was conducted to compare the variables. The findings reveal that the application of transplanters and combine harvesters significantly reduces working time and labor requirements while simultaneously increasing farmers' income in organic red rice farming.
