Thu, 25 Apr 2024 11:18:19 +0700

Most Indonesians work in the agricultural sector, making Indonesia included in the category of an agricultural country. Agriculture has an important role in the welfare of the Indonesian population because natural conditions suitable for farming increase the quality and quantity of agricultural products. This research aims to determine the soil quality index of andisol on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) agricultural land in Tosari sub-district, Pasuruan district, East Java. The research was carried out in Tosari sub-district, Pasuruan district at an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level. In September 2023 – January 2024. This research uses a random purposive sampling method for taking soil samples. Next, it was analyzed in the laboratory for texture, volume weight, porosity, C-organic, pH, P-available, K-exchangeable and root depth was measured. The soil quality index is calculated using the criteria of Mausbach and Seybold (1998), which can be adjusted to field conditions using the Minimum Data Set (MDS). Based on the research results, it was found that the Soil Quality Index (SQI) of potato fields in Tosari sub-district has two criteria, namely medium and good criteria. Ledoksari Village, Kandangan Village, and Podokoyo Village are classified as Good (G) while Ngawidono Village and Mororejo Village are classified as Medium (M).

Kintamani coffee is grown at an altitude of 900-1000 meters above sea level near Mount Batur. As already discussed, the taste and aroma of Kintamani Coffee tends to taste citrusy. One reason is the reporting process which is unique and unusual. The purpose of the study entitled Analysis of Arabica Coffee Competitiveness in UUP (Productive Business Unit) Catur Paramitha in Catur Village, Kec. Kintamani Regency Bangli is to analyze the competitive advantage of Arabica coffee in the UUP (Productive Unit) Catur Paramitha in Catur Village, Kec. Kintamani Regency Bangli, and to analyze the comparative advantage of Arabica coffee in UUP (Productive Business Unit) Catur Paramitha in Catur Village, Kec. Kintamani Regency Bangli. This research was conducted from October to December 2022. The research location was determined using a purposive method, while the sample of respondents was determined using a purposive sampling technique with 15 respondents. The analytical method in this study uses the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) or government policy analysis. The results of the PAM analysis research show that Arabica Coffee farming produced by Arabica Coffee farmers in Catur Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency has very strong competitiveness because it is seen from the value of the Private Cost Ratio (PCR) <1, namely 0.17 and the Domestic Resources Ratio (DCR) <1, namely 0.10, which means that Arabica coffee farming has a competitive advantage and a comparative advantage, because economic efficiency is already able to compete with Arabica coffee farming in other regions. The policies owned by the government have been able to provide effective protection (protection) for Arabica coffee farming to survive until now, this is due to the existence of policies in the form of input-output prices and subsidized assistance from the government.

Neem Leaf Extract: An Acaricide Against Adult Cattle Tick (Boophilus microplus)

Carmela G. Blando — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 11:23:02 +0700

This study was conducted to evaluate the acaricidal effect of Neem Tree Leaf Extract (Azadirachta indica) using varying levels of concentrations at different lengths of exposure and to compare its efficacy with Organophosphate. The Experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments, replicated three times. The treatments evaluated were as follows: T1 – Organophosphate (Control); T2 – 25% Neem Tree Leaf Extract; T3 – 50% Neem Tree Leaf Extract; T4 – 75% Neem Tree Leaf Extract; and T5 – 100% Neem Tree Leaf Extract. Filter papers were dipped with the extracts and matted in petridishes. The ticks were placed in the treated filter papers with corresponding levels of Neem Tree Leaf Extract. There were three observations (60, 90 and 120 minutes) used to determine the effect and the killing duration of the extract. All the levels of the Neem tree leaf extract concentration used could kill ticks of cattle, however, the killing depends upon the level of concentrations and the duration of exposure. At higher concentrations, it was proven that the killing effect of the Neem tree leaf extract to adult ticks were faster than the extract at lower concentration.

Based on the result of the study, the use of Organophosphate (control) was statistically similar to that of 100 percent Neem tree leaf extract in killing ticks at a maximum length of one hundred twenty minutes exposure.

Effect of Agrodyke and Liquid Organic Fertilizer of Coconut Water Waste on The Results of Siam Orange (Citrus nobilis var. MicrocarpaL.)

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 11:24:10 +0700

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the dose of Agrodyke Fertilizer and the concentration of Liquid Organic Fertilizer from Coconut Water Waste on the yield of the Siamese orange (Citrus nobilis Var. Microcarpa L.) and its interactions, which were carried out in Bayung Gede Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency from December 2022 until July 2023. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with 2 factors arranged factorially. The first factor tested was the dosage of Agrodyke (A) fertilizer which consisted of 4 levels: A0(0 g/tree), A1(50 g/tree), A2 (100 g/tree) and A3 (150 g/tree). While the second factor is the dose of Liquid Coconut Water Organic Fertilizer (K) which consists of 4 levels, namely: K0 (0 cc/l), K1 (5 cc/l), K2 (10 cc/l) and K3 (15 cc/l). l). Thus there were 16 combination treatments, each of which was repeated 3 times so that 48 citrus trees were needed. The results showed that the interaction between the doses of potassium nitrate and magnesium sulfate (AxK) fertilizer had no significant effect on all observed variables. The Agrodyke fertilizer treatment at a dose of 150 g/tree gave the highest fruit weight per tree, namely 9.76 kg or an increase of 54.18% when compared to control (A0), which was only 6.33 kg. The highest fruit weight per tree was obtained in the treatment in Liquid Organic Fertilizer Coconut Water Waste dose of 15 cc/l which is 8.63 kg, there is an increase of 15.83% compared to the control (K0), which is only 7.45 kg.
