Optimasi Formula Nutrisi AB Mix untuk Meningkatkan Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Biomassa Caisim (Brassica juncea L.) Pada Sistem Hidroponik Wick
Keterbatasan lahan pertanian akibat alih fungsi lahan mendorong pengembangan teknologi budidaya yang lebih efisien, salah satunya melalui sistem hidroponik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh berbagai formula nutrisi AB Mix terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman caisim pada sistem hidroponik wick. Penelitian menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang terdiri atas empat perlakuan formula nutrisi AB Mix dan enam ulangan. Parameter yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, bobot kering daun, batang, akar, bobot kering total, luas daun, bobot segar pertanaman, bobot segar pertanaman tanpa akar, bobot segar perinstalasi, bobot segar perinstalasi tanpa akar serta harvest index. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam (ANOVA) dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) pada taraf 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berbagai formula nutrisi AB Mix memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap sebagian besar parameter pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman. AB Mix 2 menghasilkan nilai tertinggi pada tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, bobot kering organ tanaman, bobot total, dan harvest index, sedangkan AB Mix 4 menghasilkan luas daun dan bobot segar per tanaman tertinggi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan formula nutrisi memengaruhi kemampuan tanaman dalam menyerap unsur hara dan mengakumulasi biomassa. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa formula AB Mix 2 merupakan formulasi nutrisi yang efektif dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan vegetatif, akumulasi biomassa, dan produktivitas caisim pada sistem hidroponik wick. Formula tersebut direkomendasikan sebagai acuan bagi petani, pelaku usaha hidroponik, dan kelompok tani dalam mengoptimalkan produksi caisim pada budidaya hidroponik skala rumah tangga maupun komersial. Limited agricultural land due to land use conversion has encouraged the development of more efficient cultivation technologies, one of which is hydroponic cultivation systems. Caisim (Brassica juncea L.) is a leafy vegetable commodity with high economic and nutritional value, requiring cultivation techniques capable of improving plant productivity. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different AB Mix nutrient formulations on the growth and yield of caisim cultivated under a wick hydroponic system. The study employed an experimental method using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of four AB Mix nutrient formulations and six replications. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, dry weight of leaves, stems and roots, total dry weight, leaf area, fresh weight per plant, fresh weight per plant excluding roots, fresh weight per plot, fresh weight per plot excluding roots, and harvest index. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that different AB Mix nutrient formulations significantly affected most growth and yield parameters. AB Mix 2 produced the highet values for plant height, leaf number, organ dry weight, total biomass, and harvest index, while AB Mix 4 resulted in the highest leaf area and fresh weight per plant. These findings indicate that differences in nutrient formulations influence nutrient uptake efficiency and biomass accumulation. The results of this study indicate that the AB Mix 2 formula is the most effective nutrient formulation for enhancing vegetative growth, biomass accumulation and productivity of Chinese cabbage in a wick hydroponic system. This formula is recommended as a guideline for farmers, hydroponic business operators and farmers’ groups in optimising Chinese cabbage production in both household-scale and commercial hydroponic cultivation.

­Faktor Penentu Adopsi Pupuk Organik Cair Urin Kambing pada Petani Padi: Pendekatan Theory of Planned Behavior
Pemanfaatan urin kambing sebagai bahan baku pupuk organik cair (POC) merupakan salah satu langkah pengelolaan limbah peternakan yang dapat mendukung praktik pertanian berkelanjutan. Walaupun ketersediaan bahan bakunya relatif melimpah, penerapan POC berbahan urin kambing oleh petani masih belum optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji pengaruh sikap, norma subjektif, kontrol perilaku persepsian, serta niat terhadap perilaku petani dalam mengadopsi POC urin kambing berdasarkan kerangka TPB, sekaligus menentukan faktor yang memberikan pengaruh paling besar terhadap perilaku tersebut. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Duren, Kecamatan Talun, Kabupaten Blitar selama Februari hingga Maret 2026. Sebanyak 80 petani padi dipilih sebagai responden melalui teknik proporsional yang kemudian dipilih secara acak. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang kemudian dianalisis dengan metode path analysis pada perangkat lunak IBM SPSS Statistics 27. Hasil analisis penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel sikap tidak memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap niat maupun perilaku petani. Norma subjektif terbukti berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap niat (β = 0,255; p = 0,037), tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap perilaku aktual. Sementara itu, kontrol perilaku persepsian memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan baik terhadap niat (β = 0,369; p = 0,001) maupun perilaku aktual (β = 0,323; p = 0,001). Niat juga terbukti berperan positif dan signifikan dalam membentuk perilaku aktual petani (β = 0,561; p < 0,001). Berdasarkan analisis pengaruh total, kontrol perilaku persepsian menjadi faktor yang paling dominan dengan nilai koefisien sebesar 0,530. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan adopsi POC urin kambing perlu diarahkan pada penguatan keterampilan teknis petani, peningkatan akses terhadap sarana dan sumber daya pendukung, serta pengembangan kepercayaan diri petani dalam memproduksi dan memanfaatkan POC secara mandiri. The utilization of goat urine as a raw material for liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) represents an effective livestock waste management strategy that can support sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the relatively abundant availability of this resource, the adoption of goat urine-based LOF among farmers remains suboptimal. This study aimed to examine the effects of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention on farmers’ adoption behavior toward goat urine-based LOF using the TPB framework, as well as to identify the factor exerting the greatest influence on such behavior. The research was conducted in Duren Village, Talun District, Blitar Regency, Indonesia, from February to March 2026. A total of 80 rice farmers were selected as respondents using proportional sampling followed by random selection. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis with IBM SPSS Statistics 27. The results indicated that attitude did not have a significant effect on either farmers’ intention or actual behavior. Subjective norm had a positive and significant effect on intention (β = 0.255; p = 0.037), but it did not significantly influence actual behavior. Meanwhile, perceived behavioral control exerted a positive and significant effect on both intention (β = 0.369; p = 0.001) and actual behavior (β = 0.323; p = 0.001). Intention was also found to positively and significantly influence farmers’ actual behavior (β = 0.561; p < 0.001). Based on the total effect analysis, perceived behavioral control emerged as the most dominant factor, with a coefficient value of 0.530. These findings suggest that efforts to increase the adoption of goat urine-based LOF should focus on strengthening farmers’ technical skills, improving access to supporting facilities and resources, and enhancing farmers’ confidence in independently producing and utilizing liquid organic fertilizer.

Perilaku Petani dalam Menggunakan Pestisida secara Bijaksana Sebelum dan Sesudah Program Penyuluhan
Penggunaan pestisida masih menjadi praktik utama dalam budidaya padi untuk mengendalikan organisme pengganggu tanaman. Namun, penggunaan yang tidak sesuai anjuran, seperti dosis berlebih, frekuensi penyemprotan yang tinggi, serta rendahnya penggunaan alat pelindung diri, masih banyak ditemukan di tingkat petani dan berpotensi menimbulkan dampak terhadap kesehatan maupun lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji perilaku petani dalam menggunakan pestisida secara bijaksana sebelum dan sesudah program penyuluhan pada Kelompok Tani Sri Makmur, Desa Mundakjaya, Kecamatan Cikedung, Kabupaten Indramayu. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Januari–Februari 2026 menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain komparatif. Sebanyak 30 petani dipilih secara purposive dari 62 anggota kelompok tani sebagai responden penelitian. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan skala Likert 5 skala. Data dikumpulkan melalui instrumen yang diberikan sebelum dan sesudah program penyuluhan, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan uji paired sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pada seluruh aspek perilaku yang diamati. Rata-rata skor pengetahuan meningkat dari 3,33 menjadi 4,13, sikap meningkat dari 3,31 menjadi 4,32, dan keterampilan meningkat dari 3,37 menjadi 4,04. Hasil uji paired sample t-test menunjukkan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000 (p<0,05), yang menunjukkan adanya perbedaan perilaku petani yang nyata antara sebelum dan sesudah program penyuluhan. Peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai penggunaan pestisida diikuti oleh perubahan sikap yang lebih positif dan peningkatan keterampilan dalam penerapan penggunaan pestisida di lapangan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penyuluhan mampu mendorong perubahan perilaku petani menuju penggunaan pestisida yang lebih aman, tepat, dan sesuai dengan prinsip penggunaan pestisida secara bijaksana. Pesticide use remains a primary practice in rice cultivation to control plant pests. However, inappropriate use, such as excessive doses, high spraying frequency, and low use of personal protective equipment, is still common among farmers and has the potential to impact health and the environment. This study aims to examine farmers' behavior in using pesticides wisely before and after extension services at the Sri Makmur Farmers Group, Mundakjaya Village, Cikedung District, Indramayu Regency. The study was conducted in January–February 2026 using a quantitative approach with a comparative design. A total of 30 farmers were purposively selected from 62 farmer group members as research respondents. The research instrument used a 5 point Likert scale. Data were collected through instruments administrated before and after the counseling, then analyzed using descriptive analysis and paired sample t-tests. The results showed that there was an increase in all aspects of observed behavior. The average knowledge score increased from 3.33 to 4.13, attitudes increased from 3.31 to 4.32, and skills increased from 3.37 to 4.04. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant difference in farmer behavior before and after the extension program. Increased knowledge regarding pesticide use was followed by a more positive attitude change and improved skills in applying pesticides in the field. These findings indicate that extension programs can encourage changes in farmer behavior toward safer, more appropriate pesticide use, and in accordance with the principles of prudent pesticide use.

Karakteristik Ukuran Tubuh dan Laju Pertumbuhan Prasapih pada Kambing Boerlok Kelahiran Tunggal dengan Variasi Tingkat Keturunan Boer
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi karakteristik morfometrik dan performa pertumbuhan prasapih cempe Boerlok kelahiran tunggal dengan variasi tingkat kedarahan Boer, serta menganalisis pengaruh genotipe dan jenis kelamin terhadap variabel-variabel tersebut. Penelitian dilaksanakan selama delapan bulan (Januari-Agustus 2025) di PT. Shadana Arifnusa Training Farm. Sebanyak 120 ekor cempe terdiri atas tiga genotipe BL/50% Boer (n=40), BBL/75% Boer (n=40), dan BBBL/87.5% Boer (n=40) dengan komposisi seimbang antara jantan dan betina digunakan sebagai materi penelitian. Variabel yang diamati meliputi bobot lahir, bobot sapih umur 90 hari (BS90), pertambahan bobot badan harian (PBBH), panjang badan, lingkar dada, dan tinggi pundak. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam dua arah (Two-Way ANOVA) dengan genotipe dan jenis kelamin sebagai faktor tetap, dilanjutkan uji Duncan pada taraf kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa genotipe berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap bobot lahir dan berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) terhadap seluruh variabel lainnya. Uji Duncan menunjukkan pola pemisahan sempurna (a-b-c) pada PBBH dan panjang badan, sedangkan bobot sapih, lingkar dada, dan tinggi pundak menunjukkan pola plateau (a-b-b) dengan BBL dan BBBL tidak berbeda nyata. Jenis kelamin berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap semua variabel kecuali bobot lahir. Interaksi genotipe × jenis kelamin berpengaruh nyata pada panjang badan (P=0,001) dan tinggi pundak (P=0,008), namun tidak nyata pada variabel lainnya. Nilai R² tertinggi ditemukan pada panjang badan (0,625), mengindikasikan bahwa ukuran kerangka tubuh lebih kuat dikontrol oleh genotipe dan jenis kelamin dibandingkan karakter bobot. Disimpulkan bahwa peningkatan proporsi darah Boer secara bertahap melalui program grading-up efektif meningkatkan performa pertumbuhan dan ukuran tubuh cempe, dengan genotipe BBL (75% Boer) memberikan nilai praktis optimal untuk sebagian besar karakter produksi. This study aimed to evaluate the morphometric characteristics and pre-weaning growth performance of single-birth Boerlok kids with varying levels of Boer ancestry, as well as to analyze the effects of genotype and sex on these variables. The study was conducted over eight months (January-August 2025) at PT. Shadana Arifnusa Training Farm. A total of 120 kids comprising three genotypes BL/50% Boer (n=40), BBL/75% Boer (n=40), and BBBL/87.5% Boer (n=40) with equal proportions of males and females were used as research subjects. Variables observed included birth weight, weaning weight at 90 days (WW90), average daily gain (ADG), body length, chest circumference, and withers height. Data were analyzed using Two-Way Analysis of Variance (Two-Way ANOVA) with genotype and sex as fixed effects, followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test at a 95% confidence level. Results showed that genotype had a significant effect (P<0.05) on birth weight and a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on all other variables. Duncan's test revealed a fully separated pattern (a-b-c) for ADG and body length, while weaning weight, chest circumference, and withers height showed a plateau pattern (a-b-b) with BBL and BBBL not differing significantly. Sex had a highly significant effect on all variables except birth weight. The genotype × sex interaction was significant for body length (P=0.001) and withers height (P=0.008), but non-significant for other variables. The highest R² value was found for body length (0.625), indicating that skeletal dimensions are more strongly controlled by genotype and sex than body weight traits. It is concluded that gradual increases in Boer ancestry through a grading-up program effectively improve growth performance and body size of kids, with the BBL genotype (75% Boer) providing the most practical optimal value for most production traits.

­Penerapan Alat Pengusir Burung Pipit Berbasis Ultrasonik untuk Mempertahankan Produksi Padi
Serangan burung pipit (Lonchura spp.) merupakan salah satu faktor utama penyebab penurunan hasil produksi padi di lahan pertanian, terutama pada fase pengisian hingga pemasakan bulir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui intensitas serangan burung pipit pada lahan padi varietas Sintanur pada berbagai jarak dari titik pemasangan alat pengusir berbasis gelombang ultrasonik (5–40 m) di musim tanam III, serta menentukan jarak dengan intensitas serangan paling rendah. Penelitian dilaksanakan di lahan Kelompok Tani Sari Makmur Sengir, Kalurahan Sumberharjo, Kapanewon Prambanan, Kabupaten Sleman, DIY, pada musim tanam III (Juni–Agustus 2025). Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif deskriptif-observasional tanpa manipulasi eksperimental, dengan delapan zona pengamatan berjarak 5–40 m dari titik alat dan masing-masing lima ulangan. Intensitas serangan dihitung berdasarkan persentase kehilangan bobot gabah aktual per rumpun terhadap potensi varietas Sintanur (48,61 g/rumpun yang diperoleh dari konversi 7,0 ton/ha dengan populasi efektif 144.000 rumpun/ha), sedangkan produktivitas dihitung berdasarkan konversi berat gabah per rumpun terhadap populasi efektif 144.000 rumpun/ha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa intensitas serangan terendah terdapat pada zona P1 (jarak 5 m) sebesar 1,92% (kategori ringan) dengan produktivitas tertinggi 6,866 ton/ha atau setara 98,08% dari potensi varietas. Intensitas serangan tertinggi terdapat pada zona P8 (jarak 40 m) sebesar 62,77% (kategori berat) dengan produktivitas terendah 2,605 ton/ha. Hasil ini membuktikan bahwa jarak pemasangan alat berpengaruh nyata terhadap intensitas serangan burung pipit dan kemampuan mempertahankan produktivitas padi. Attacks by munia birds (Lonchura spp.) are one of the main factors contributing to yield losses in rice cultivation, particularly during the grain-filling to ripening phase. This study aimed to determine the intensity of munia bird attacks on Sintanur rice variety fields at various distances from the installation point of an ultrasonic wave-based repellent device (5–40 m) during the third planting season, and to identify the distance with the lowest attack intensity. The research was conducted on agricultural land of the Sari Makmur Sengir Farmer Group, Sumberharjo Village, Prambanan District, Sleman Regency, DIY, during the third planting season (June–August 2025). A quantitative descriptive-observational approach was used without experimental manipulation, with eight observation zones at 5–40 m distances from the device, each with five replicates. Attack intensity was calculated as the percentage of actual grain weight loss per hill relative to the Sintanur variety potential (48.61 g/hill, derived from 7.0 t/ha with an effective population of 144,000 hills/ha), while productivity was calculated by converting grain weight per hill to the effective population of 144,000 hills/ha. The results showed that the lowest attack intensity was recorded in zone P1 (5 m distance) at 1.92% (light category) with the highest productivity of 6.866 t/ha, equivalent to 98.08% of the variety potential. The highest attack intensity was found in zone P8 (40 m distance) at 62.77% (heavy category) with the lowest productivity of 2.605 t/ha. These findings confirm that installation distance significantly affects munia bird attack intensity and the ability to maintain rice productivity.

­Enhancing Sustainable Agriculture Awareness Through Organic Fertilizer Training: A One-Group Pretest-Posttest Study in Elementary School Students
Introducing organic agriculture concepts at an early age is essential for fostering environmental awareness and cultivating sustainable values among students. Early exposure helps children understand environmentally friendly farming practices and encourages their active participation in sustainability initiatives. This study implemented an educational intervention through an experiential learning-based training program to promote awareness of sustainable agriculture through organic fertilizer training in an elementary school setting. The program was conducted at SDN Brang Biji, Sumbawa Regency, on 9–10 June 2023, involving 80 students from Grades 4 and 5 (40 students each). The program employed participatory and experiential learning approaches, utilizing the schoolyard as a practical learning medium. Students actively participated in producing organic fertilizer through a simple composting process using readily available materials, including cow dung, dry leaves, and bioactivators. The resulting compost was applied to plants cultivated in the school environment, enabling students to observe its effects on plant growth and soil conditions. Two main methods were implemented: first, a participatory approach to enhance students’ knowledge and practical skills through hands-on composting training; and second, a persuasive approach to raise awareness of the benefits of recycling organic waste into valuable fertilizer products. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ knowledge following the intervention. Grade 4 students showed a knowledge increase of 51.51%, while Grade 5 students demonstrated an increase of 43.10%. These findings indicate that the program effectively enhanced students’ understanding, practical skills, and awareness of sustainable agriculture. In conclusion, school-based organic fertilizer training represents a promising strategy for promoting sustainable agricultural practices from an early age.

­Valorization of Persimmon Waste for Sustainable Bioelectricity Production in a Soil-Mediated Single-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell
The global electricity shortage is not just a figment of the imagination, but a real fact that still opens up great shortage underscores the potential of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) research's technology as a renewable energy system converting organic waste into electricity in support of SDG 7. This study demonstrated a microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as bio-electrochemical devices which used to generate bioelectricity from a wide range of substrates by using bioelectrogenic microorganisms, and have special interest to supply the energy demands for small devices as a energy harvesting while the persimmon fruit production in Japan is relatively abundant, such as in 2011 reached 207.5 thousand tons. During the harvest and post-harvest time, about 10% large amounts of fruit, especially their peels, are generated as waste. It caused a waste disposal problem. In order to get an efficient and eco-friendly solution for organic waste especially to provide green and safe electricity from organics waste, a blend of soil and persimmon fruit waste were tested as a solid waste management option by a MFC method. The blends were tested in a membrane-less single chamber microbial fuel cells devices to generate bioelectricity along with biotransformation of persimmon wastes, over a testing time of 45 days and with some modification of resistor operation. The results in the experiments have shown good relationship among substrate and the performance of output voltage in the MFC, the highest value of output voltage in the MFC which contained a blend of 25:75 of persimmon and soil was 127.2 mV. While, for the MFC which contained a blend of 40:60 of persimmon wastes and leaf mold the highest value of output voltage was 98.3 mV. The proposed MFC can provide sustainable green and safe electricity from recycle and reuse of organic waste.

Morphological Characterization and Phylogenetic Relationships of Namnam Fruit Plants (Cynometra cauliflora) in Various Southern Regions of Kebumen Regency
Populasi tanaman Cynometra cauliflora (namnam) di wilayah pesisir selatan Kabupaten Kebumen mengalami penurunan akibat degradasi habitat, tekanan lingkungan, dan tidak adanya upaya konservasi terstruktur. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan variasi morfologi antar populasi semakin sulit dipetakan, padahal karakter morfologi berperan penting dalam identifikasi plasma nutfah dan pengembangan strategi pelestarian spesies. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji keragaman morfologi tanaman namnam pada lima populasi pesisir, yaitu Ambal, Mirit, Puring, Petanahan, dan Buluspesantren, serta menganalisis hubungan kekerabatan antar populasi untuk memahami pola diferensiasi fenotipik yang terbentuk. Tujuan penelitian adalah menentukan karakter morfologi pembeda pada masing-masing populasi dan memetakan klaster kekerabatan berdasarkan parameter vegetatif dan generatif. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif–eksploratif dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengamatan meliputi karakter batang, daun, bunga, buah, dan biji yang diukur secara kuantitatif serta dikodekan dalam bentuk numerik untuk dianalisis menggunakan metode fenetik berbasis UPGMA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya variasi morfologi yang signifikan antar populasi. Populasi Ambal dan Buluspesantren memiliki ukuran daun, buah, dan biji yang lebih besar dengan tingkat kemanisan lebih tinggi, sedangkan Puring dan Mirit memperlihatkan karakter organ yang lebih kecil akibat tekanan lingkungan pesisir yang lebih ekstrem. Populasi Petanahan berada pada posisi transisional dengan kombinasi karakter campuran. Analisis UPGMA menghasilkan tiga klaster utama yang konsisten dengan pola keragaman morfologi kuantitatif. Hasil ini menegaskan bahwa tekanan lingkungan pesisir berperan penting dalam membentuk diferensiasi morfologi tanaman namnam. Temuan ini merekomendasikan perlunya konservasi berbasis populasi serta pemanfaatan populasi unggul sebagai sumber plasma nutfah untuk mendukung budidaya berkelanjutan. The population of Cynometra cauliflora (namnam) in the southern coastal region of Kebumen has declined due to habitat degradation, environmental pressures, and the absence of structured conservation programs. These conditions have increased morphological divergence among populations, whereas morphological traits were crucial for germplasm identification and species conservation planning. This study aimed to characterize the morphological variation of namnam across five coastal populations—Ambal, Mirit, Puring, Petanahan, and Buluspesantren—and to analyze their phenetic relationships to understand the pattern of phenotypic differentiation. A descriptive–exploratory approach with purposive sampling was applied. Morphological traits of stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds were measured quantitatively and converted into numerical codes for phenetic analysis using the UPGMA method. The results revealed significant morphological variation among populations. Ambal and Buluspesantren exhibited larger leaves, fruits, and seeds with higher sweetness levels, whereas Puring and Mirit showed smaller organ sizes influenced by harsher coastal conditions. Petanahan represented a transitional population with intermediate characteristics. The UPGMA dendrogram formed three major clusters consistent with quantitative morphological data. These findings indicate that coastal environmental conditions strongly influence morphological diversification of namnam populations. The study highlights the necessity of population-based conservation and recommends utilizing superior populations as germplasm sources for sustainable cultivation.

The Effects of Crop Residue Return on Soil Nutrient Dynamics and Physical Properties and Their Implications for Rainfed Lowland Rice Productivity: A Review
Pengembalian residu tanaman ke dalam tanah merupakan strategi penting untuk menjaga kesuburan tanah sekaligus memperkuat keberlanjutan sistem pertanian padi tadah hujan. Kajian literatur ini bertujuan untuk menelaah secara komprehensif bagaimana residu tanaman memengaruhi dinamika unsur hara, memperbaiki sifat fisik tanah, serta berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan produktivitas padi pada ekosistem tadah hujan. Analisis dilakukan terhadap 28 publikasi nasional dan internasional yang diterbitkan antara Tahun 2015 hingga 2025. Hasil sintesis menunjukkan bahwa pengembalian jerami, sekam, dan biochar secara konsisten mampu meningkatkan kandungan C-organik, N-total, serta ketersediaan hara P, dan K tanah. Dari aspek fisik, penambahan residu tanaman terbukti menurunkan bulk density, meningkatkan porositas, serta memperbesar kemampuan tanah menyimpan air, sehingga kondisi perakaran menjadi lebih baik dan tanah lebih mudah ditembus akar. Sinergi antara perbaikan sifat kimia dan fisika tersebut memperkuat efisiensi penyerapan hara dan mendukung pertumbuhan akar, yang pada akhirnya mendorong peningkatan produksi padi sebesar 10–25 persen menurut berbagai penelitian yang dianalisis. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pengelolaan residu tanaman secara berkelanjutan merupakan komponen penting dalam menjaga dan meningkatkan produktivitas padi tadah hujan di kawasan tropis Asia Tenggara. Secara keseluruhan, penerapan praktik ini secara konsisten dan berkelanjutan memiliki potensi menjadi langkah strategis untuk memulihkan kualitas tanah, mempertahankan performa tanaman, serta memperkuat ketahanan sistem pertanian jangka panjang. Returning crop residues to the soil is an essential strategy for maintaining soil fertility while strengthening the sustainability of rainfed rice farming systems. This literature review aims to comprehensively examine how crop residues affect nutrient dynamics, improve soil physical properties, and contribute to increased rice productivity in rainfed ecosystems. The analysis was conducted on 28 national and international publications published between 2015 and 2025. The synthesis results show that the return of straw, husks, and biochar consistently increases soil organic C, total N, and P and K nutrient availability. From a physical perspective, the addition of crop residues has been shown to decrease bulk density, increase porosity, and increase the soil's water storage capacity, thereby improving root conditions and making the soil more permeable to roots. The synergy between these chemical and physical improvements strengthens nutrient uptake efficiency and supports root growth, which ultimately drives a 10–25 percent increase in rice production according to various studies analyzed. These findings confirm that sustainable crop residue management is an important component in maintaining and increasing the productivity of rainfed rice in Southeast Asia's tropical regions. Overall, the consistent and sustainable application of this practice has the potential to be a strategic step toward restoring soil quality, maintaining crop performance, and strengthening the long-term resilience of agricultural systems.

Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan metode komparatif mengikuti rancangan faktorial 3x2x5 yaitu tiga perlakuan tipe kelahiran (kelahiran tunggal, kelahiran kembar 2, kelahiran kembar 3) dan dua kelompok jenis kelamin (jantan dan betina), masing-masing dengan lima ulangan. Variabel yang diamati mencakup bobot sapih 90 hari (BS.90), bobot badan setahun (BB.365), dan pertambahan bobot badan harian (PBBH). Rata-rata hasil yang diperoleh berturut-turut adalah 10,44; 31,02; dan 0,07 kg. Kambing yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 90 ekor kambing. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa performa produksi menurun seiring bertambahnya litter size, dengan kambing jantan konsisten menunjukkan performa lebih tinggi dibanding betina. Secara khusus, kambing jantan kelahiran tunggal memperlihatkan performa produksi paling optimal, sedangkan performa terendah dicatat pada kambing betina kelahiran kembar tiga. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kombinasi faktor tipe kelahiran dan jenis kelamin berperan krusial dalam menentukan performa produksi pascasapih, serta dapat menjadi dasar dalam strategi manajemen reproduksi dan pemuliaan. This experimental study was conducted at CV. Muda Bakti Barokah (MBB Farm), Central Lombok. The study employed a comparative method using a 3×2×5 factorial design, consisting of three birth type treatments (single, twin, and triplet births) and two sex groups (male and female), each with five replications. A total of 90 goats were used in this research. The observed variables included weaning weight at 90 days (WW.90), body weight at one year (BW.365), and average daily gain (ADG). The average results obtained were 10.44 kg, 31.02 kg, and 0.07 kg, respectively. The analysis showed that production performance decreased with increasing litter size, while male goats consistently exhibited higher performance than females. Specifically, single-born male goats demonstrated the most optimal production performance, whereas the lowest performance was recorded in triplet-born female goats. These findings highlight that the interaction between birth type and sex plays a crucial role in determining post-weaning production performance and can serve as a foundation for reproductive management and genetic improvement strategies.

Sustainable Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) Cultivation Strategy Through Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Based on Productive Land Projection 2026-2036
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a leading plantation commodity in Indonesia, playing a vital role in the national economy by generating employment, contributing to foreign exchange earnings, and supplying key raw materials for the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. However, the national cocoa sector is increasingly challenged by shrinking cultivation areas, climate change, and pest and disease outbreaks. This study has two main objectives. First, to analyze the projected area of productive cocoa farmland from 2026 to 2036 and to evaluate the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in enhancing cultivation productivity. Second, to examine the role of farmers’ socio-economic factors and spatial approaches in supporting adaptive and sustainable cocoa farming strategies. A quantitative approach was employed using time series forecasting models (SARIMA and ARIMA) to project the potential of productive cocoa land from 2026 to 2036, based on secondary data from 2000 to 2023. The results indicate that despite a projected decline in land area, cocoa production is expected to increase, suggesting improvements in productivity driven by more adaptive agricultural practices. Moreover, farmers’ socioeconomic factors—such as knowledge level, perceived economic and health benefits, and involvement in farmer groups—significantly influence the adoption of innovation. These findings underscore the necessity of context-specific extension programs and institutional strengthening to support GAP adoption. A spatial and socioeconomic data-driven strategy is crucial for formulating a competitive, sustainable, and climate-resilient cocoa production system in the years ahead.

Bibliometric Analysis of Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Research in Indonesia (2005-2025)
This study maps the evolution of agribusiness-entrepreneurship research in Indonesia between 2005 and 2025 using a bibliometric approach. It addresses the absence of a structured and comprehensive knowledge map, a gap that has resulted in sporadic and unsustained entrepreneurship policies and support programmes. Bibliographic data were retrieved from Google Scholar via Publish or Perish and analysed with VOSviewer for network and thematic visualisation. Examination of 2.429 eligible articles produced several thematic clusters, with major concentrations on micro, small, and medium enterprise empowerment, farmers’ roles, and technology integration. The keywords umkm, masyarakat, and petani dominate the research network, while adoption of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) emerges as a salient new theme. These findings highlight the need for cross-disciplinary methodological approaches that link macro-level policy analysis with the micro-level realities of entrepreneurs. Future research agendas should therefore focus on the digital transformation and technology uptake of agribusiness UMKM, the dynamics of entrepreneurial mind-set formation, locally grounded innovation and adaptation, affordable climate-risk-mitigation design, and the role of entrepreneurship in strengthening the resilience of farmers and MSMEs in the face of extreme climate disruptions.

Development of the Rice Agricultural Marketing Subsystem: Solutions to Improve the Efficiency and Quality of Agricultural Products for Traditional Farmers
The agricultural sector, especially rice farming, has an important role in the Indonesian economy. However, even though rice is the main commodity for food security, farmers still face various challenges that hamper productivity and efficiency. Some of the main factors that become obstacles are the use of traditional agricultural methods, technological limitations, and inefficiencies in the marketing system. This research aims to analyze the impact of applying technology in increasing the productivity and efficiency of rice farming, with a case study of Pak Margono, a rice farmer in Amunkay, Tanah Miring District. This research uses a descriptive method with purposive sampling technique in selecting the sample. Data was collected through observation and interviews with farmers, as well as analysis of related literature. The research results show that the traditional methods used by Mr. Margono cause low productivity, high operational costs, and less than optimal quality of harvest. Apart from that, dependence on weather in the grain drying process and limited market access are the main factors hindering increasing farmers' income. The application of technology such as the use of mechanical harvesting equipment, automatic irrigation systems and grain drying technology has been proven to be able to increase production efficiency and reduce post-harvest losses. Apart from that, digitalization in marketing agricultural products can expand market access and increase selling prices. Therefore, the recommendations for this research include educating farmers about agricultural technology, increasing access to modern agricultural equipment, and strengthening digital-based marketing infrastructure. Implementation of this strategy is expected to improve farmer welfare and the sustainability of the rice farming sector in Indonesia.

Farmers' Motivating Factors for Participating in the Farmer Corporation Program in Telang Sari Village, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province
Farmer corporation is an agribusiness-based farmer business institution. The farmer corporation itself is a new program, especially in South Sumatra Province. One of them is the PT TAM Corporation in Telang Sari Village, Banyuasin Regency. The establishment of this corporation is expected as a forum for farmers to apply agricultural technology so as to help reduce farming operational costs and farmers' income. However, there are still some individual farmers who are not interested in joining due to the lack of trust in the farmer corporation program established by the government. This study aims to examine the factors that encourage farmers to participate or join the farmer corporation program and the benefits obtained by farmer members of the corporation. This research was conducted through a quantitative approach with a survey method. The withdrawal of samples using the census method because the number of farmer members is still relatively small, namely the total number of corporate members as many as 50 farmers. The data processing method used is descriptive statistics analysis from the results of data collection through questionnaires to members of the PT TAM farmer corporation. If there is a driving instrument outside the questionnaire will be presented descriptively. The results showed that the factors driving farmers to participate in the farmer corporation program consisted of 2 aspects, namely technical aspects such as the presence of labor, the availability of land, the availability of agricultural technology and socio-economic aspects such as the potential for business development, the support of the government and the availability of access to capital loans in the form of agricultural inputs and marketing. Another factor that encourages farmers to join is to increase income from farming activities, especially food commodities (rice and corn).

The Effect of Planting Media and Vegetable Waste LOF on The Growth and Yield of Green Mustard Plants (Brassica juncea L.)
Green mustard greens are a leafy vegetable plant that is commonly favored by Indonesian people. One solution to increase the production of mustard greens is to observe the composition of organic planting media and provide the right concentration of liquid organic fertilizer from vegetable waste. This research aimed to determine the effect of planting media composition and the addition of vegetable waste liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) to the growth and yield of mustard greens. This research is located at Jalan Kedoya Garden, West Jakarta from January to April 2024. This research used a factorial Randomized Block Design with two factors. The first factor was the composition of the planting media (T), which consisted of 4 levels: control (T0), soil + goat manure organic material 1:1 (T1), soil + husk charcoal 1:1 (T2), and soil + goat manure organic material + husk charcoal 1:1:1 (T3). The second factor was the concentration of vegetable waste LOF (P) with 4 levels, those were control (P0), 25 ml/l (P1), 35ml/l (P2), and 45 ml/l (P3). The results showed that the composition of the planting media soil + goat manure organic material 1:1 had a very significant effect on the parameters of plant height at 5 weeks after planting (WAP) (31,58 cm), number of leaves at 5 WAP (10,08 leaves), plant wet weight (7,71 g). It had a significant effect on the number of leaves at 3 WAP (6,92 leaves) and 4 WAP (7,5 leaves). The application of vegetable waste LOF had not a significant effect on all parameters and therefore had not an impact on the growth and yield of green mustard plants. There was an interaction between the composition of the planting media and the concentration of vegetable waste LOF on root length with the best treatment was control planting media (T0) and vegetable waste LOF concentration of 35 ml/l (P2) (46,67 cm).

The purpose of this review is 1) to evaluate the use of brucellosis KAP surveys that have been carried out in Indonesia and 2) to map important and relevant information that helps explore intervention strategies in the prevention and control of potential brucellosis in the future. The review was conducted on four selected journals using a KAP survey related to the prevention and control of brucellosis in Indonesia from 81 journals collected. The results of the review mapped the knowledge, attitudes and practices of field officers and farmers shows that the knowledge of the field officers has a sufficient (medium) level, the attitude is at a good level and the practice is at a good level.Knowledge of farmers has a moderate level, attitudes at a good level and practice at a moderate level. Efforts that can be made for the prevention and control of brucellosis in the future are to increase the knowledge, attitudes and practices of officers and breeders by conducting programmed counseling and training. Curriculum planning, use of appropriate methods and media.

Uji Pemotongan Umbi dan Kombinasi Media Tanam terhadap Bawang Merah (Allium ascalonicum L.) Hidroponik Wick System
Bawang merah merupakan salah satu komoditas hortikultura yang sangat dibutuhkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, sehingga permintaannya yang tinggi menyebabkan fluktuasi harga beli. Budidaya bawang merah secara hidroponik dapat dilakukan di rumah untuk menekan biaya pembelian, namun diperlukan perlakuan yang tepat selama budidaya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemotongan umbi dan kombinasi media tanam terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil bawang merah (Allium ascalonicum L.) pada hidroponik wick system. Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) faktorial digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Faktor pertama, pemotongan umbi (P), terdiri dari 4 taraf yaitu tanpa pemotongan (P0) pemotongan ¼ bagian atas umbi (P1), pemotongan bonggol akar umbi (P2), dan pemotongan ¼ bagian atas dan bonggol akar umbi (P3). Faktor kedua, kombinasi media tanam (M), terdiri dari 3 taraf yaitu arang sekam (M1), arang sekam + cocopeat (1:1) (M2), arang sekam + cocopeat (1:2) (M3). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemotongan bonggol akar umbi memberikan pengaruh terbaik terhadap tinggi tanaman dan diameter umbi, dan pemotongan ¼ bagian atas umbi memberikan pengaruh terbaik terhadap jumlah anakan dan jumlah umbi. Penggunaan media arang sekam + cocopeat (1:1) berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman bawang merah selain jumlah umbi. Terdapat interaksi antara pemotongan bonggol akar umbi dan media tanam arang sekam + cocopeat (1:1) terhadap tinggi tanaman 14 HST dan diameter umbi, serta pemotongan ¼ bagian atas umbi dan media arang sekam + cocopeat (1:1) terhadap berat kering per rumpun. Shallots are a horticultural commodity that is needed in everyday life, so that its high demand causes fluctuations in purchase prices. Hydroponic cultivation of shallots can be done at home to reduce purchasing costs, but proper handling is required during cultivation. This study examined the effect of tuber cutting and combination of planting media on the growth and yield of shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) in the hydroponic wick system. A factorial randomized group design (RGD) was used in this study. The first factor, shallot bulb cutting (P), consisted of 4 levels: no cutting (P0), cutting ¼ of the top of the bulb (P1), cutting the root part of the bulb (P2), and cutting ¼ of the top and root part of the bulb (P3). The second factor, the combination of planting media (M), consisted of 3 levels: husk charcoal (M1), husk charcoal + cocopeat (1:1) (M2), and husk charcoal + cocopeat (1:2) (M3). The results showed that cutting the root part of the bulb gives the best effect on plant height and bulb diameter, and cutting ¼ of the top of the bulb gives the best effect on number of tillers and number of bulbs. The use of husk charcoal + cocopeat (1:1) media affected the growth and yield of shallot plants in addition to the number of bulbs. There was an interaction between cutting the root part of the bulb and planting media of husk charcoal + cocopeat (1:1) on plant height 14 HST and bulb diameter, and cutting ¼ of the top of the bulb and planting media of husk charcoal + cocopeat (1:1) on dry weight per clump.
