Abstract

Jambi province is included in the soybean belt areas and one of the soybean seed production centres in Sumatra. Fulfilling the soybean production demand of the Jambi region also in surrounding provinces, the seed program is one of the main requirement. This paper aims to provide an overview of the soybean seed production program through innovation technologies and dissemination for Jambi. An action research was carried out from 2016 to 2018 in the Tebo and East Tanjung Jabung regions, involving seven breeding farmers, local governments, research centres and other stakeholders. Activities carried out in the form of demonstrations plot, demonstrations farm, and technical assistance activities. The results showed that more than 100 tons of newly soybean certified seeds (Anjasmoro) were distributed from soybean production areas to other areas in Jambi and to other provinces such as: Riau, West Sumatera, South Sumatera and Aceh). Agronomic data and yield parameters in soybean seed activities from research site were showed minor significant differences compare to farmer practices technologies. Some innovation technologies were introduced i.e. good agricultural practices, and good handling practices for soybean seed farmers. Through this activity, soybean seeds are available throughout the year (2016 up to recent).

Highlights

Soybean is one of the strategic national cereal commodities
The Government of Tebo and East Tanjung Jabung Regency have synchronized activities with national and provincial programs to increase soybean productivity, harvested area and Farming Index. This was to implement a national program launched by Directorate General of Food Crops and IAARD in the form of assistance by extension workers/researchers and seeds production program [10,11], in which AIAT Jambi was involved as a working unit of IAARD
Supporting soybean assistance and program implementation, mentoring activities by AIAT Jambi were the activities continued with coordination, consultation and synchronization carried out at the Jambi Province level and both Tebo/East Tanjab Regency levels

Summary

Introduction

Soybean is one of the strategic national cereal commodities. The soybean self-sufficiency target was the main program of the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture during 2015-2019 period. One application of the program has carried out in Jambi Province [1]. While continuing in the 2020-2045 period, the Indonesian government through the Ministry of Agriculture has prepared several more realistic soybean self-sufficiency scenarios to be programmed in the future [2, 3]. The demand for soybeans has continued to increase along with the increasing rate of population growth and the increasing need for feed [4]. Efforts to accomplishing national and regional soybean needs are carried out by the Jambi Provincial government [7]
