Certification of Organic Agriculture for rice production in Indonesia
Get PDFTo make better the life, it is required safety foods for health. The health foods can be satisfied by organic farming that have more expensive price compared to foods derived from conventional agriculture. Organic farming is farming system based on biomass recycling or eliminating the use of materials as a synthetic agrochemical inputs. To determine whether the result of rice called as a organic product needs to be certified by the Organic Certification Board (OCB). According to the Indonesian National Standard 6729: 2013, organic farming systems are not only limited to not use material agrochemical synthetic, but must meet the requirements of organic farming systems in rice cultivation ranging from handling, storage, processing, transportation, labeling, marketing, production facilities, additional materials and other materials that are allowed start on farm to off farm should be separated from conventional agriculture. The farm is just a negate the use of agrochemicals and synthetic based on recycling without regard to the cultivation process and the system of post-harvest organic results are said to be food premium is not as organic food, because organic food is food produced from organic farming systems by applying processing practices to preserve the ecosystem of sustainable, control of weeds, pests, diseases, selection and crop rotation, water management, land preparation and planting and the use of biological materials. Thus the system of organic agriculture is a holistic production management system to improve and develop the agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity (Regulation of Indonesian Agriculture Ministry No. 64/2013). The first step that must be done is the conversion of land for food crops from anorganic to organic farming for 2 years did not get the requisite amount of agrochemical ingredients applied to the soil and 3 years for annual plants, after applying the organic farming system follows the Indonesian National standardization for organic farming. If agriculture in paddy soil can control the conventional farms into organic farming systems, then the resulting rice is as an organic produc

THE EFFECTS OF MODERATING VARIABLE OF ENVIRONMENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE INTENTION TO RE-USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Get PDFNowadays commuting is a crucial point in modern activities. To supporting that commuting activities, a technology introduced and also applied in daily activities such as a car, motorcycle. Unfortunately, one negative side of it is the increasing of air pollution resulted from that commuting equipment. Further negative impacts, the weather cannot be predicted accurately again as a result of pollution piles that form the greenhouse phenomenon. The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of environment knowledge as a moderating variable to re-use public transportation.To achieve that objective, this study used a questionnaire distributed to the passengers of Batik Solo Trans (BST) Bus, which is a state transport corporation that operates in Solo City. A total of 207 participants were selected by purposive sampling method by filled out a set of the questionnaire designed to collecting data. After being analyzed by SEM (GeSCA), the result shows that the travel time efficiency effects on satisfaction and also affects the service value. Furthermore, the satisfaction influences the intention to re-use and the environment knowledge variable moderates the relationship between satisfaction and intention to re-use.At the end of this article, the implications of the study are discussed as well limitations
SOIL QUALITY INDEX RELATIONSHIP WITH RICE PRODUCTION IN SUKOHARJO REGENCY, CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA
Get PDFClimate change has an effect on the degradation of soil, water, growth and crop production. Soil degradation caused by various factors decrease in physical, chemical, and biological soil processes. The decrease in physical properties of the soil due to erosion, compaction, and fractures. The decrease in soil chemical properties is due to nutrient leaching, acidification, and salinization. The decrease of biological properties of the soil is due to the reduction of soil organic matter and diversity of soil biota. Climate change affects the diversity of organisms in the soil. Soil organisms requiring certain temperature conditions for its activities and the state of extremely dry, extreme wet, and increased soil temperature will affect the diversity of soil organisms. The use of fertilizers and organic materials can increase and balance the availability of nutrients needed by plants. The fertilizer can influence the soil fertility represented by a soil quality index. Soil quality is a measure to describe the condition of the soil based on three indicators of the physical, chemical and biological properties. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between soil quality with rice productivity in Sukoharjo, Central Java that will affect the climate change. The research was conducted in March-November 2015. The method in this research was a descriptive explorative by field surveying. The sampling method is purposive random sampling. Soil quality indices in eleven sites, Sukoharjo has medium and good (5.47 to 6.91) category. Soil quality indicators are the most influential on permeability, N-total, K-available, and soil organic matter. The regression Soil Quality Index with rice productivity is 17.7%. The relationship between Soil Quality Index against the highest rice yield soil Permeability has a coefficient determination 43%. Eleven sites has medium-good soil quality and rice productivity with medium categories
THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT RISK OF DECLINE IN RICE PRODUCTIVITY AT IRRIGATED RICE FIELDS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Get PDFFarmers as farm manager, have experienced the impact of climate change. The most powerful impact is the decline in rice production due to unpredictable weather. The decline in rice production is the most powerful impact experienced by farmers. Thus, a research related to the factors that affect the risk of reduction of rice productivity due to climate change is conducted. This research was conducted at the watershed of Cemoro river in Central Java, with 120 farmers owning irrigated rice fields as samples.The research shows that the farmers who adapt to the climate change, are able to have landed with higher productivity, compared to those who do not adapt. They have the higher percentage of risk of crop failure, than the adaptive farmers. Factors that affecting the reduction of land productivity, according to the multiple linear regression analysis, are education level, farming experience, an agricultural extension activity, the extent of land, ownership of livestock and farmer’s perception of climate change.
ANALYSIS OF AVAILABILITY AND NEEDS OF GREEN OPEN SPACE IN KENDARI, SOUTHEAST SULAWESI, INDONESIA
Get PDFClimate change caused by various factors of environmental damage is a phenomenon that occurs in all aspects of human life on this earth. Especially urban areas, which has become the center of civilization and the economy has suffered severe environmental damage.Green open space is a space that can be covered with trees or other plants, which, although narrow, but may help in reducing the effects, of environmental degradation.Studies on the content of biomass and carbon stored in the green open space is very important to determine the ability of green open space to absorb carbon. This research involves various sectors that cause carbon emissions in Kendari the capital city of Southeast Sulawesi Province in Indonesia, namely from the transport sector, industry and trade, education and office and residential activities. This research was conducted in three areas, namely business district, offices and settlements.The availability of green open space based on the calculation of the absorption of CO2 and produce O2 as well as the calculation of the availability of the number of trees to produce O2 and absorb CO2.The needs of green open space is calculated based on the needs of oxygen in humans and vehicles, carbon emissions in humans, vehicles, and household electronic equipment and green open space broad needs and the number of trees to absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen in the business district, offices and settlements. The results showed that the availability of green space based on oxygen consumption in the business district should have a green open space covering 61% of the total area, the settlement area must have a comprehensive RTH minimum of 15.3% of the area of the region, which means a minimum area of RTH not eligible based on oxygen demand, while for an office area, the existing green open space area is 53.16% that an area has exceeded the minimum requirement of extensive green open space based on the need for oxygen. It is relevant to a comparison of emissions and carbon deposits in the three regions, namely the business area amounted to 0.2189 tons of carbon savings with the amount of emissions to 3.5 tons per day, the settlement area total carbon storage is 62.545 producing an emission of 10.6 tons per day, while the office area produces carbon deposits is amounted to 5,464.93 tons per day by the number of emissions of 34.3 tons per day
