COMPARATIVE EFFECT OF PLANTING MEDIA ON THE GROWTH OF ROBUSTA COFFEE SEEDLINGS (Coffea canephora L)
No full textThe selection of an appropriate growing medium significantly affects the growth and quality of robusta coffee seedlings, which ultimately influences the success of cultivation and coffee plant productivity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different ratios of growing media composed of soil, rice husk charcoal, and compost on the development of robusta coffee seedlings (Coffea canephora L.). A completely randomized design with five treatment combinations of growing media—M1 (1:1:2), M2 (1:2:2), M3 (1:2:3), M4 (1:3:2), and M5 (1:2:1)—was applied, each replicated six times. The measured parameters included plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, root number, root length, as well as fresh and dry weight of the seedlings, observed between 30 and 96 days after planting. Analysis of variance was used to assess the treatment effects on seedling growth. Results revealed that treatment M3 significantly produced the greatest plant height (13.65 cm) and stem diameter (5.57 mm), while M5 excelled in root number (21.67) and root length (21.42 cm). Statistically, the growing media had significant effects on plant height, stem diameter, and root characteristics, but no significant impact on fresh and dry weights. Specific media combinations created optimal physical and chemical conditions by enhancing aeration, water retention, and the availability of macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. In conclusion, the growing medium with a soil:rice husk charcoal:compost ratio of 1:2:3 was the most effective for promoting vegetative growth of robusta coffee seedlings.

THE IMPACT OF THE CORPORATE FARMING PROGRAM ON THE PRODUCTIVITY AND INCOME OF THE BAROKAH FARMERS GROUP'S RICE FARMING BUSINESS
No full textRice is a major food commodity that consistently draws attention, particularly in efforts to increase productivity and farm income. Various initiatives have been undertaken by both the government and the private sector to boost rice productivity in order to meet food demands. One such initiative is the Corporate Farming (CF) program, an agricultural institutional model based on the principle of consolidating land owned by members of farmer groups by removing the boundaries (galengan) between rice fields. The aim of the program is to enhance productivity through the use of better technology and to achieve more effective and efficient farming practices. This study aims to examine the impact of the CF program on the productivity and income of rice farming within the Barokah Farmer Group. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method, with the t-test used as the analytical tool. Data collection was conducted through surveys, with productivity and income serving as the main variables. The results show that the average productivity and income per hectare per season before and after the implementation of the CF program were significantly different. However, the changes had a negative value, indicating that the program did not have a positive impact. The average value of rice productivity per hectare per planting season after the implementation of CF was 2.455 tons per hectare, smaller than after the implementation of CF of 3.480 tons per hectare. Rice farming income per hectare per planting season after CF was IDR5,298,994.02, which was smaller than before CF, which was IDR12,433,806.81. This outcome is attributed to a shift in farming technology from conventional to organic methods which affected both productivity and farm income before and after the implementation of the CF progra
