Yield stability of biofertilizer treatments to soybean in the rainy season based on the GGE biplot

Abstract Soybeans (Glycine max L.) play an essential role in meeting the nutritional needs of Indonesians. However, national soybean production cannot meet domestic needs. Increasing the planting frequency during the rainy season is an effort to increase the national soybean production. Planting soybeans in the rainy season will reduce the yield and growth of soybeans, so cultivation technology is needed to increase soybean yields in the rainy season, one of which is the use of biofertilizers and cultivars. This study aimed to analyze a suitable combination of cultivation and biofertilizer doses to increase soybean production during the rainy season. Selection of the right cultivar combination and biofertilizer dosage will increase yields. The research was conducted from 2021 to 2023 during the rainy season in Majalengka Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. The cultivation technology that provides stable soybean yields was analyzed using a GGE biplot. The results of this research show that the appearance of soybean yields varies every year, and there is an interaction between the application of cultivation technology and the year of planting. Cultivation technologies that show a stable appearance are Anjasmoro variety + 20 kg h−1 dose biofertilizer, Dega 1 variety + 0 kg h−1 dose biofertilizer and Dega 1 variety + 10 kg h−1 dose of biofertilizer. These results can be used as a reference for farmers planting soybeans during the rainy season.

Empowering Durian Farmer Groups through the Application of Cultivation Technology

Abstract. Kokap sub-district is the sub-district with the largest area when compared to other sub-districts in Kulon Progo Regency. The administrative area of Kokap District consists of 5 subdistricts, namely Hargomulyo, Hargorejo, Hargowilis, Kalirejo and Hargotirto. The types of plants cultivated in the Kokap area include food crops, crops, plantations and horticulture such as vegetables and fruits. Durian is not included in the list of plants grown in the Kokap District area, because Durian is still cultivated in residents' yards with not as many other plants. Nonetheless, the PCM Kokap durian farmer organization has expressed the difficulties related to durian cultivation, including the problem of fruitless durian trees and the poor taste of the fruit's flesh, even when it succeeds in yielding fruit. The lack of knowledge about proper durian production methods is another issue that the locals must deal with. In addition, they have no idea how to take care of durian plants to ensure that they yield fruit with a sweet flavor. The solution offered to overcome this problem is counseling and cultivation practices and maintenance of durian plants in accordance with Good Agricultural Practices so that it is hoped that durian plants can bear fruit with a sweet taste of fruit flesh. The results of the activity show an increase in knowledge and skills of durian farmers regarding durian cultivation practices that are in accordance with good agricultural practices and efforts to make durian plants bear sweet fruit. Farmers' awareness of applying fertilization or booster/hormonal treatments to plants increased by 17%.

Using NPK fertilizer on several soybean mutant in sub-optimal land

Soybean is one of the important crops and is much needed by people in Indonesia. Most soybean needs in Indonesia are still imported because domestic production is still low. The low soybean production in Indonesia is partly due to the lack of availability of superior varieties that are able to adapt to the environment and the application of cultivation technology that has not been optimal by farmers. The aim of this research is to obtain the best dose and the mutant line of Kipas Merah and the best combination of both in a sub-optimal environment. This study used a factorial randomized block design 3 x 7 with 3 replications. The dose of NPK fertilizer is the first factor consisting of 3 levels (200 kg ha−1, 300 kg ha−1, and 400 kg ha−1). While the second factor is a mutant line of Kipas Merah (A1, A2, A7, A11, and A14), and in addition, as the comparison, we used Kipas Merah (parent) and Deja2 variety. The results showed that the treatment dose of Phonska NPK fertilizer (15:15:15) was better found in the application of a fertilizer dose of 400 kg ha−1 on the parameters a number of seeds per plant, the weight of seeds per plant, the weight of 100 seeds, the weight of seeds per plot and potential yield. The best mutant lines among the tested lines were the A1 and A11 mutant lines. The best A1 line was on the number of seeds per plant and weight of seeds per plant, while A11 was best on parameters of seed weight per plant, the weight of 100 seeds, the weight of seeds per plot, and yield potential.

The effect of nest box type and stocking density on stratified shelf culture to increase earthworm Eisenia fetida biomass production

Eisenia fetida is one of the species of earthworm that is widely cultivated commercially because the results of its cultivation are related to agriculture and industry. Eisenia fetida earthworm biomass production in the cultivation system applied by the cultivator community is still low. We need innovations in the application of cultivation technology. This research was conducted to determine the effect of the type of nest box, the density of the distribution of earthworms, and the use of multilevel rack cultivation system technology on the biomass production of Eisenia fetida. The research was conducted at the Earthworm Teaching Farm in Mandalika Village, Sandubaya District, Mataram City in January-March 2020. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern consisting of three factors, namely: three types of nest boxes, three levels of stocking density, and three levels of cultivation racks. The results showed that the type of nest box had a significant effect (P <0.05) on the percentage increase in biomass weight, but did not affect the percentage increase in the amount of biomass. The stocking density had a significant effect (P <0.05) on the percentage increase in the amount and weight of biomass. The level of cultivation rack did not affect the percentage of the number and weight of Eisenia fetida. The conclusion was that the average percentage increase in the highest amount of biomass was 175%/nest box, and the highest percentage increase in biomass weight of 344%/nest box was achieved in a plastic tub nest box with a stocking density of 25 grams of earthworms/nest box on the third tier cultivation rack. The average increase in weight of earthworm Eisenia fetida was 8.6% per day per nest box.

FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI KEPUTUSAN PETANI MENGGUNAKAN TEKNOLOGI PADA BUDIDAYA MANGGIS DI JAWA BARAT

Mangosteen (Queen of Tropical Fruit) is one of the excellent commodities of Indonesia's flagship fruit export which contributes to the country's foreign exchange and farmer's income, with the aim of exporting Hong Kong, Taiwan, China. The biggest centers of mangosteen production in Indonesia are West Java, including Tasikmalaya and Purwakarta. Because mangosteen has health benefits, the demand for mangosteen fruit is increasing (50%/year) and this makes it an opportunity to develop mangosteen agribusiness for Indonesian farmers. Many factors influence farmer decisions, especially in the application of cultivation technology, causing national mangosteen production to be unstable and of low quality. This condition causes Indonesian mangosteen to be unable to compete with other countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Latin America. The amount of mangosteen produced by farmers for export purposes is still low. Useful cultivation techniques and technology applications are not yet fully compliant with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), such as the use of superior seeds, dosage methods and times of fertilization, observation and control of pests, and harvest and post-harvest treatment. this is identifying the factors that influence farmers' decision to use technology in mangosteen cultivation. The research method used was a survey of 69 mangosteen farmers selected by simple random sampling and location selected by multistage random sampling. The factor analysis was used Regression with System Equations Model. The results of the study show that the factors that influence farmers' decision to use mangosteen cultivation technology to increase production and quality of crops are farmers' assets, namely physical assets, non-physical assets and access to farmers' access. Physical assets, namely the number of ownership of trees, rice fields, vehicles, and income outside of farming; Non-physical assets, namely the number of productive age family members, farmers' access assets, namely the length of travel time from the garden to the provincial road.
