Increasing Participation of Independent oil Palm Smallholders in Farmer Group Institution
Full text linkFarmer groups play an important role in the palm oil industry in terms of access to capital, production facilities, marketing, market information, and learning vehicles. However, the participation of independent smallholders in institutions, especially farmer groups, is still very limited because of the limited knowledge and awareness of farmers about the important role of these institutions. The aim of this research is to formulate an increase in the participation of independent oil palm smallholders in farmer groups in the Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan. The research used a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods with a SWOT-AHP analysis of 33 experts and ordinary informants from the government, farmer group officials, companies, wholesalers, and farmers. The results show that institutional capacity building was selected as a strategic priority for increasing farmer participation. Three efforts must be made to increase institutional capacity: compiling institutional norms/rules, holding regular meetings, and compiling group administration books.

Strategic Orientation, Culture, and Commitment Toward Institutional Performance of Independent Palm Oil Farmers
Full text linkIndependent oil palm farmers are crucial to the growth of the national economy. However, due to subpar institutional and farmer group performance, independent oil palm farmers\u27 productivity still needs to improve. This research aimed to maximize institutional performance within the frameworks of social exchange theory and resource-based view theory. The study employed structural equation modeling, or SMART-PLS, and quantitative descriptive methodologies to examine 92 farmer group administrators in Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan. The study\u27s findings illustrate that strategic orientation, culture, and commitment affect institutional/farmer group performance. In maximizing institutional performance, the following was done: 1) planning for environmental conservation by setting clear deadlines and assigning members to consider environmental sustainability and refrain from burning land; 2) communicating with the community and members to foster community harmony; 3) holding online group discussions for members who are unable to attend in order to save time discussing issues collectively; b. imposing strict sanctions for infractions by its members; 4) fostering active dialogues among members and working directly or virtually with instructors regarding oil palm cultivation knowledge. The most recent study aims to develop strategies for enhancing institutional and farmer group performance through strategic orientation, culture, and commitment.

Use of Sphingomonas yunannensis to Improve Soil Drought Stress in Chili Plants
Full text linkThe availability of water plays an important role in plant growth. However, water availability depends on the climate and irrigation channels; therefore, there is little water available for plants during the dry season. Bacteria found in soil can produce exopolysaccharides to survive under extreme land conditions, namely, during drought conditions. The research objectives were to (1) isolate and select bacteria originating from dry land for use on chili plants and (2) determine the effect of water supply frequency and select soil bacteria on chili plants. The experiment consisted of two stages. (1) Bacterial selection and characteristics, which included exopolysaccharide bacteria selection on specific ATCC No. media. 14; pathogenicity test (hypersensitivity and hemolysis); characterization and biochemical testing including pH, temperature, salinity, oxidation, and catalase; bacterial functional tests (P and K solvents and nitrogen-fixing); and (2) tests of chili plants in the greenhouse. The treatment consisted of two factors: (a) application of selected bacteria, (b) frequency of water application (every 1, 2, 3, and 5 days), and (3) molecular identification of selected bacteria. The results showed that the best growth of chili plants was obtained by treating them with bacteria and watering them every other day. Molecular identification demonstrated that the selected bacteria was Sphingomonas yunannensis, which can grow under environmental conditions affected by drought.

Perbaikan Retensi Air dengan Aplikasi Bahan Organik pada Pertanaman Sorgum
Full text linkThis study aimed to determine the role of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Mart.) organic matter on water retention at pF 2.54 and pF 4.2, available water content, and bulk density (BD). The research method used was a factorial randomized block design. The first factor was the sorghum variety, which consisted of 2 levels, namely, V1 (variety) and V2 (Kawali). The second factor was the dose of water hyacinth organic matter, which consisted of 5 levels, namely P0 (without the application of water hyacinth organic matter), P1 (10 tons.ha-1), P2 (20 tons.ha-1), P3 (30 tons.ha-1), and P4 (40 tons.ha-1). Water retention was measured at pF 2.54 and pF 4.2 using a pressure plate apparatus and pressure membrane apparatus, respectively, and BD was measured using the ring method. The results showed that the treatment of organic matter application and varieties had a significant effect on water retention at pF 2.54, available water content, and BD with the best treatment of 40 tons of organic matter application and Kawali variety, but not affecting water retention at pF 4.2. There was no interaction between water hyacinth organic matter and sorghum varieties to improve water retention and BD. The highest water retention at pF 2.54 was 32.24% (P4), and the highest available water content was 11.67% (P4) but not significantly different from P3 (11.55%); the lowest BD was 1.11 g.cm-3 (P4) but not significantly different from P3 (1.13 g.cm-3). A very strong positive linear and negative linear correlation exists between available water content and BD with plant height, panicle length, and sorghum yield.

Carcass and Chemical Quality of IPB D1 Chicken Meat in Free-range and Intensive Systems
Full text linkIPB D1 chicken is a local chicken resulting from crossing pelung, sentul, kampung, and parent stock broiler strain Cobb chickens. IPB D1 chicken was released through a decree by the Ministry of Agriculture with No. 693/KPTS/PK. 230.M/9/2019. Free-range is a system of raising farm animals, including chickens, by providing access to outdoor running (pasture) to exercise, find more feed, and be exposed to more oxygen. This study analyzed the carcass percentage, edible carcass, non-edible carcass, and chemical quality of IPB D1 chickens raised in a free-range system. A total of 50 IPB D1 male chickens were raised in free-range and intensive systems for four weeks. The microclimatic data were analyzed descriptively. Meanwhile, carcass percentage and physicochemical and organoleptic properties of IPB D1 chicken meat were subjected to a t-test. Free-range and intensive systems showed no significant effects on the carcass, commercial cuts, edible and non-edible percentages, and MDA quality traits of IPB D1 male chicken thigh meat. The cholesterol content of IPB D1 thigh meat in a free-range system was significantly lower than in an intensive system
