Soil Quality Analysis and Land Management Direction on Dry Land Areas in Tejakula and Buleleng Districts, Indonesia
Get PDFDeclining agricultural yields on drylands in Tejakula Subdistrict are largely attributed to poor soil management practices, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive soil quality assessment. This study aims to evaluate soil quality, identify limiting factors, and map the spatial distribution of soil quality to guide appropriate land management strategies. The research was conducted from January to June 2024 across twelve sampling points in ten villages using a purposive sampling technique. Both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were analyzed for physical, chemical, and biological indicators, including bulk density, porosity, soil texture, pH, C-organic, CEC, nutrients (N, P, K), and microbial biomass carbon (C-biomass). The Minimum Data Set (MDS) method and a weighted additive model were applied to calculate the Soil Quality Index (IKT). The results showed that all sampling sites were categorized as having very good soil quality, with IKT scores ranging from 16.3 to 19.6. The study concludes that although soil quality is generally high, targeted management interventions such as organic amendments and balanced fertilization are still necessary to address site-specific limiting factors and ensure land productivity
Development of Indonesian Organic Agrifood: Certification Process and Issues
Get PDFThe global growth of organic agrifood has also reached Indonesia, creating opportunities and challenges for smallholder farmers. This study aims to explore the certification process and identify key barriers to obtaining organic certification for Indonesian agricultural products. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three certified organic farming groups in Central Java—each producing rice, vegetables, or coffee. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive methods and graphical tools such as spider charts. The findings reveal that both pre-certification and certification stages typically require three months, not including land conversion, which may be shortened if prior organic practices are recognized. Major challenges during these stages include business planning, seed availability, group coordination, investment capital, pest management, and contamination prevention. These issues are rooted in limited knowledge and technical skills regarding organic standards and practices. Technological interventions—such as the use of ozone plasma, Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile cold storage—were found to support compliance and productivity, particularly in vegetable farming. However, constraints such as land fatigue, lack of rotation, limited access to organic inputs, and high certification costs persist. The study suggests that improved training, mentoring, institutional support, and access to organic inputs are essential to overcoming certification barriers and strengthening farmers’ participation in organic value chains. These insights offer practical implications for policymakers and stakeholders to promote sustainable organic farming in Indonesia

Optimisation of Biobriquette Production Enriched with Burning Lighter Materials
Get PDF. The increasing trend of fossil fuel consumption is inversely proportional to the available natural gas reserves. Renewable energy sources derived from biomass are needed to become alternative fuels, such as biobriquettes. This study aims to optimize biobriquette production by adding burning initiator materials to obtain the best composition that meets the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and exhibits good ignition characteristics. The experimental design was based on the Taguchi method with an L9 (34) orthogonal array, and the results were statistically analyzed using Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) to evaluate multiple responses. Although the highest Grey Relational Grade (GRG) indicated the theoretical optimum, the confirmation test revealed a slightly different composition with better burning performance. The optimal composition consisted of 3 g of OPEFB (A1), 16 g of PKS (B2), 40% pine sap (C3), and 20% sulfur (D3), producing a moisture content of 1.148%, ash content of 10.75%, volatile matter content of 12.36%, calorific value of 7,223.5 cal‧g-1, initial ignition time of 1.83 s, and burning rate of 0.237 mg‧min-1. These results indicate that the produced biobriquettes meet SNI standards for moisture, volatile matter, calorific value, and have good burning ease
Comparative Effects of Trichoderma and EM4 in Aerobic–Anaerobic Tiered-Bucket Production on Liquid Organic Fertilizer and Compost Quality
Get PDFOrganic waste is an abundant resource but remains underutilized as a safe and nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Trichoderma as an alternative bioactivator to EM4 in improving the quality of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) and compost through tiered bucket systems under aerobic (A2) and anaerobic (A1) conditions. A randomized complete block design was used with five Trichoderma doses (0; 15; 20; 25; 30 mL.L⁻¹) and EM4 (30 mL.L⁻¹) as a comparison. The liquid and solid fractions were analyzed for C, N, C/N ratio, P₂O₅, K₂O, and heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu) using standard methods. The data were analyzed through ANOVA and orthogonal contrast tests. Results showed that the aerobic system consistently reduced the C/N ratio, producing more mature and stable products, while the anaerobic system tended to retain higher C-organic content. These differences were statistically significant as the aerobic condition (A2) decreased the C/N ratio by 4.74 or 40.93% in liquid organic fertilizer and by 3.62 or 19.52% in compost compared to the anaerobic condition (A1), while total P₂O₅ in liquid organic fertilizer increased by about 14.81% under A2. Medium–high doses of Trichoderma (25–30 mL L⁻¹) in the aerobic system yielded the best quality in terms of maturity, whereas EM4 generally resulted in higher macro-nutrient contents (N, P₂O₅, K₂O). All heavy metal levels were far below the SNI/Ministry of Agriculture thresholds, indicating product safety. Practically, the A2–T3/T4 combination is recommended to produce mature, stable, and safe organic fertilizer, while co-inoculation strategies may be pursued to enhance nutrient content. This study confirms that Trichoderma primarily accelerates humification and stabilizes organic matter, offering a practical, low-cost option for household/community organic waste management within a circular-economy framework; accordingly, the aerobic bucket system with medium–high Trichoderma doses (A2–T3/T4) is recommended to achieve mature, stable LOF–compost. However, the findings are lab-scale and substrate-specific
Enhancing Vanilla Planifolia Generative Phase via IoT-Based Microclimate Control
Get PDFVanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is one of the agricultural commodities with high economic value, but its cultivation faces various challenges, including climate change and suboptimal environmental management. Conventional microclimate control methods are primarily manual and reactive, often failing to maintain stable conditions during the critical phase of generation. Technological innovations, especially IoT-based microclimate controllers, enable real-time monitoring and automated regulation of temperature, humidity, and light, thereby reducing environmental fluctuations that negatively affect flowering and yield. This research aims to develop and apply an IoT-based microclimate controller that optimizes growth conditions during the generative phase of vanilla, and to evaluate its impact on growth and crop yields. The study was conducted over a 3-month generative period, using 30 vanilla plants per group (n = 60 in total), with three replications. Data were collected weekly and analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests to compare growth and yield performance. The results show that IoT-based microclimate controllers significantly improved optimal temperature and humidity stability, increasing plant growth and crop yields. The average stem length and number of flowers per plant increased by 30% and 25%, respectively, compared to the control group, while vanillin content rose from 1.8% to 2.5%. These findings offer new insights into sustainable vanilla cultivation management, which can be adopted by farmers to enhance productivity and quality. Recommendations for further research include developing more advanced systems, conducting cost-benefit analyses, and applying these technologies in different climatic conditions
Reevaluation of Land Suitability for Soybean Plants in North Sumatra, Indonesia
No full textThis study was designed to reevaluate the adjustment of land suitability classes. This study was conducted in North Sumatra Province, precisely in 4 regencies, namely Simalungun, Langkat, Deli Serdang, and Serdang Bedagai Regencies. The study used land suitability classes. Related to rooting media and nutrient retention parameters, the results of a semi-detailed land suitability study for soybean plants in Deli Serdang, Serdang Bedagai, and Langkat Regencies showed that the land was only marginally suitable (S3 rc, nr). In Simalungun Regency, efforts were made to increase the suitability of potential land to a marginally suitable class with the rooting media factor (S3 rc) and the water availability and nutrient retention factor (S3 wa, nr). This was done by attempting to increase the adaptability of potential land to a marginal suitability class with a water availability factor (S3 wa). The land suitability class in the research area for soybean plants includes the marginal suitability class (S3), so planting soybean commodities results in less than maximum production with limiting factors of rainfall and nutrition retention. To improve nutrient retention by adding organic materials, the limiting factor of rainfall is relatively high by creating drainage channels
Farmers' Perception and Adaptation Decision of Rice Farming in Facing Climate Change: A Case Study in Trawas Village, Mojokerto, Indonesia
No full textClimate change is a phenomenon of changes in global temperatures, seasons and erratic rainfall that have an impact on human activities, change people's lives, and etc. This research uses a quantitative survey method. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to obtain an overview of information, sources of information, perceptions and adaptation of farmers and logistic regression to determine the factors that influence farmers' climate change adaptation practices. The results showed that 67% of farmers felt climate change by relying on climate change information sources from newspapers/TV 42%, extension workers 28%, internet 16%, and friends/relatives 14%. Based on farmers' perceptions with a likert scale of 1= unchanged, 2=slightly changed 3=changed a lot, 4=very changed, climate change with many changing categories found in rainfall season (2.76) dry and rainy season (2.64), air temperature (2.63), length of rainy season (2.69), pest and disease attack (2.79), while the length of dry season changed slightly (2.46) with the most impact felt by farmers is the attack of pests and diseases that increase in longer rainy season. These findings imply that farmers, community organizations, and governments must be aware of climate change in order to mitigate the impact of losses on the rice crop agriculture sector. Farmers will benefit tremendously from the farmer adaptation process, group engagement, and government climate policies such as providing drought and flood-climate-resistant cultivars, early warning systems, facilities, and infrastructure
