The condition of agricultural productivity in Kecamatan Panca Rijang shows fluctuations from time to time. It is important to know the extent to which farmers are satisfied with the performance of agricultural extension workers, considering that the role of extension workers has a direct relationship with agricultural production, especially in the research area. This study aims to analyze the level of farmer satisfaction with the performance of agricultural extension workers in supporting sustainable agricultural practices in Timoreng Panua Village. The population in this study amounted to 629 farmers, with a sample size of 42 respondents selected through specific techniques. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to farmers living in Timoreng Panua Village. The data obtained were then analyzed quantitatively using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The results showed that the level of farmer satisfaction with the performance of agricultural extension workers was in the very satisfied category, with an IPA score of 92.55%. The five performance attributes must be maintained based on the IPA Cartesian diagram. They contribute significantly to farmer satisfaction: participation, social interaction, community development, increased farmer income, and production efficiency. These five attributes are important indicators in assessing the effectiveness of extension workers' performance in the field and as benchmarks in developing sustainable agriculture programs in the future.

Gender provides a conceptual reference for social relations between men and women and the differences in function and role of both. Bontotangnga Village, Bontolempangan District, Gowa Regency, is one of the centers of large tomato producers. The division of roles based on gender is still carried out because of the influence of social and cultural aspects that are very strong in the area. This study aims to determine the division of roles and decision-making based on gender in tomato farming activities. The main sample consisted of 18 farmer households with tomato farming businesses. The sampling method was purposeful sampling. Data collection used open and direct questionnaires. The primary and secondary data obtained were then analyzed qualitatively. The role of gender in managing tomato farming in Bontotangnga Village, Bontolempangan District, Gowa Regency, is dominated by the farmer's husband in every series of farming activities. This shows gender inequality due to the imbalance in the division of roles in tomato farming activities. Gender equality has begun to be applied to decision-making in managing farming businesses. Demonstrated by openness, exchanging suggestions and opinions between husband and wife farmers.

The research used a non-factorial randomized block design consisting of 8 levels with 3 replications. The treatment factors studied were red chili seeds that had been given gamma irradiation, namely as follows: G0 = Control, G1 = 50 Gray, G2 = 100 Gray, G3 = 150 Gray, G4 = 200 Gray, G5 = 250 Gray, G6 = 300 Gray, and G7 = 350 Gray. If based on the F test results the research results show a significant difference, then it will be continued with further tests, namely the least significant difference test (BNT) at the 5% level. The chili seeds used are the Lotanbar chili variety. The results showed that the dose of gamma irradiation had a significant difference in the diameter of the stem base, plant height, fruit weight per red chili plant, and number of fruit per plant. Giving a gamma ray irradiation dose of 150 Gray (G3) increases the vegetative growth of red chili plants, namely plant height and stem base diameter. Providing a gamma ray irradiation dose of 200 Gray (G4) increases the generative growth of red chili plants, namely the number of fruit per plant and the weight of fruit per plant.

Karakteristik Fisik dan Aktivitas Antioksidan dalam Pengembangan Nori dari Daun Mangrove Jeruju (Acanthus ilicifolius L.)

Indonesia has great potential in terms of mangrove ecosystems, with around 22.8% of the world's mangrove cover located in this country. One type of mangrove that is interesting to develop is Acanthus ilicifolius L. (jeruju), which contains useful secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins. This research aims to explore the potential of jeruju mangrove leaves as raw material for nori, a functional food rich in antioxidants. This research method includes making nori from jeruju mangrove leaves with variations in leaf concentration (P1: 25 g, P2: 50 g, P3: 75 g), and organoleptic analysis, as well as antioxidant activity. This research used laboratory experimental methods, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The results showed that the nori produced had a blackish green color with a texture that varied according to the concentration of jeruju mangrove leaves. Organoleptic tests showed favorable results for panelists in the parameters of appearance, aroma, taste and texture, although there were significant differences in appearance. The results of the antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method showed that nori treated with P3 (75 g) had a lower IC50 value, indicating better antioxidant activity compared to other treatments. Based on nutritional content analysis, nori jeruju has competitive levels of protein, fat, fiber and carbohydrates, making it a functional food product with potential for further development.

Mung bean production in Indonesia has experienced a decline was caused by the decline in agricultural land area. The planting area in Indonesia for mung bean in 2017 was 206.832 ha, then it decreased to 189.298 ha in 2021. The agroforestry planting pattern is an effort to increase mung bean production, which has decreased due to the reduction in agricultural land area. The aims of this research are to test the growth and yield of three varieties of mung bean that are suitable for planting under mahogany and teak stands using an agroforestry system. The research used combined randomized block design (RBD) Nested Design consisted of 2 treatments, namely types of stands (mahogany and teak stands) and mung bean varieties (Vima 5, Vimil 2, and Kutilang). The results showed that the dry weight of seeds of the varieties of Vima 5 (2.60 ku ha^-1), Vimil 2 (1.69 ku ha^-1), and Kutilang (2.54 ku ha^-1) planted under teak stands had higher yield than under mahogany stands.

The total sales volume during April–August 2023 averages 308 pcs. 2) Consumer perceptions of marketing communications, product innovation and high category prices. 3) Purchasing decisions consisting of 5 stages, namely, problem/need recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchasing decisions and high category post-purchase behavior. 4) The marketing communication variables, product innovation and price on the purchasing decision making process have a very significant effect simultaneously and partially.

Karakteristik Pupuk Slow Release Berbasis Biochar Tongkol Jagung yang Diperkaya Nutrisi

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research aims to determine the characteristics of slow-release fertilizer based on corncob biochar which is enriched with various nutrient sources (NPK, SP36, cow urine and Azotobacter). Research methods include making biochar through pyrolysis and nutrient impregnation. Fertilizer characterization includes analysis of nutrients, material fractions, biochar stability, and functional groups using spectra (FTIR). The results of the four analyzes carried out showed that the SRFbiochar+SP36+cow urine formulation provided the best results in retaining nutrients and water. The nutrient content produced by SRFbiochar+SP36+cow urine, namely N(0.35%) P (0.63%), K (0.7%), Corganic (6.49%), volatile content (15%) strengthened by the ultimate results which show high nutrient content (C=10.09%, N=0.35%), which is explained by the formation of hydroxy functional groups (O-H) in tire 3444.87 and carboxy groups on the band 1635.64. These results indicate that the SRF-BiocharSP36+bovine urine formulation has the potential to be developed as a slow-release fertilizer to increase fertilization efficiency in dry land for sustainable soil fertility improvement.
