Enhancing shallot productivity should focus on efficient, environmentally sustainable cultivation practices. Innovations in cultivation, such as the use of liquid organic fertilizers and plant growth regulators like Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP), represent a promising approach to sustainably improving yield. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of liquid organic fertilizer and BAP on the growth and yield of shallot plants, and to examine the interaction between different liquid organic fertilizer doses and BAP concentrations. The experiment was arranged using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two treatment factors. The first factor consisted of four levels of liquid organic fertilizer: 0 mL L?¹, 50 mL L?¹, 100 mL L?¹, and 150 mL L?¹, applied to the growing media. The second factor was BAP concentration, with three levels (0 ppm, 100 ppm, and 200 ppm), applied via foliar spraying. The combination of these factors resulted in 12 treatment combinations, each replicated three times, yielding a total of 36 experimental units. Each unit consisted of two plants, resulting in a total of 72 plants. The results indicated that the application of 500 mL L-1 liquid organic fertilizer combined with 200 ppm BAP significantly affected plant height at 5 weeks after planting (WAP) and had a significant single-factor effect on root number. A significant interaction effect was observed on plant height at 5 WAP. However, no significant effects were found on the number of tillers, stomatal number, stomatal density, bulb diameter, and overall shallot productivity.

Farmers’ capability determines the effectiveness of resource management and the sustainability of smallholder beef cattle enterprises. This study aimed to assess farmers’ capability in managing beef cattle among livestock groups in Timoreng Panua Village, Panca Rijang District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. A survey was conducted from July to August 2024 involving 17 farmers selected from 116 members of eight livestock groups. Primary data were collected through structured interviews using a questionnaire and field observations, while secondary data were obtained from village records and relevant agencies. Five aspects were assessed: farming experience, husbandry performance, farming success, capacity to cope with production constraints, and access to capital. Each aspect was measured on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed descriptively using frequencies, scores, and achievement indices. All aspects were classified as moderate. Farming experience obtained the highest score of 57, equivalent to 67.1% of the maximum score, followed by husbandry performance at 53 (62.4%), farming success and capacity to cope with constraints at 52 each (61.2%), and access to capital at 50 (58.8%). The overall capability index was 62.1%. These findings indicate that relatively long farming experience has not been fully accompanied by stronger capital access and business management. Capacity-building programs should prioritize financing access, farm record keeping, feed management, animal health, and continuous group-based extension.
