HUMAN RESOURCE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN NORTH SULAWESI
Get PDFThe agricultural sector in North Sulawesi is ranked first in its role in providing added value to the GRDP and labor. However, the rate of growth of production and labor productivity is relatively low and decreases over time. Building the agricultural sector is limited to the development of subsistence farming and increases human resources or competence in the farming business. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of farmers in North Sulawesi. The results of the descriptive statistical analysis using demographic, socioeconomic, and socio-cultural variables of farmers indicate that the quality of human resources in the agricultural sector in North Sulawesi is relatively low. Thus, government policies to improve the quality of the agricultural sector\u27s human resources is urgently needed

PERFORMANCE LABOR IN AGRICULTURE SECTOR IN JAVA ISLAND USING PANEL DATA 2007-2014
Get PDFThe highest decrease in the number of food crop workers occurred in Java, as many as 2,87 million people in 2007-2014. The age of food crop agriculture workers in Java is dominated by workers aged over 45 years (64,95%). If there is no addition of new workers, then the food crop labor will be increasingly dominated by old age groups which will make it difficult for the agricultural sector to carry out its mandate to improve and maintain sustainable food security. The purpose of this study is to describe the condition of the food crop agriculture subsector from the aspect of labor absorption in Java for the period 2007-2014 and analyze the effect of the regional GDP of food crops subsector, real wages, education, and land area to the absorption power of agricultural food crops subsector on labor in Java. Central Java Province is a province with the largest decrease in the number of agricultural food crop subsector workers compared to the other four provinces on Java island. From the results of the estimation, the fixed-effect model with cross-section SUR is chosen as the best model. The results show that the variable of regional GDP, real wage, and size of land area has a significant and positive effect on the labor absorption of agricultural food crops subsector, while education has a significant and negative effect. Overall this model able to explain variations of this phenomenon by 89,32%. Meanwhile, another 10,68% is explained by other variables not included in the model
ANALYSIS OF BLACK RICE FARMING COMPETITIVENESS (A CASE STUDY IN MERKARWANGI VILLAGE, CISAYONG DISTRICT, TASIKMALAYA REGENCY, WEST JAVA PROVINCE)
Get PDFBlack rice is a functional food so that it is not only to meet food needs, but also to maintain the health of consumers. For farmers, producing black rice will be more profitable because the selling value is higher than other types of rice. However, not many consumers and farmers are aware of this, resulting in unstable black rice production. In this free trade era, the opportunity to export a commodity or penetrate the international market is getting bigger. Therefore, it is necessary to study the competitiveness of black rice to determine its potential.The purpose of this research was to identify competitiveness through competitive advantage and comparative advantage as well as the impact of government policies. The research design used was quantitative with survey techniques. Data were analyzed using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The results showed that black rice was competitive both competitively and comparatively, indicated by the value of PCR < 1 = 0.568 and DCR < 1 = 0.521. Therefore, 1) black rice farming was efficient financially and economically, and 2) black rice has the potential to be exported. The impact of government policies on black rice farming has overall reduced farmers\u27 income. In addition, government policies also inhibited black rice exports as indicated by the value of NPCO < 1 = 0.793 and prevented farmers from exporting inputs as indicated by the value of NPCI < 1 = 0.565

Also, coefficient of the variable number of institutions involved was negative and had a significant effect on marketing efficiency
SCIENTIFIC FUNGAL REPORT OF MOLDY JEANS IN INDONESIA
Get PDFMold are multicelular -microscopic fungi known as heterotrophic-cosmopolitan organism which exist almost at any place in the environment. Textiles, particularly those composed of natural organic such as jeans are easily colonized by mold. Till time, there is no report ever found regarding fungal of moldy jeans in Indonesia. This study aimed to isolate fungi from moldy jeans, identified, and described it. The result revealed that the isolate studied was Chaetomium globosum, by using several macroscopic and microscopic characters. However, since Chaetomium are known as species complex fungi, further observation is needed using molecular approach. Therefore, author consider that the isolate should be treated as Ch. globosum sensu lato for time being. Interestingly, Ch. globosum was frequently reported as endophytic fungi, which pose the potency to be used as biocontrol and bioinducer in agriculture. Further research is needed to test the isolate potency as plant pathogenic biocontrol and plant growth inducer
ADDITION OF DIFFERENT CARBON SOURCES TO TOTAL DENSITY OF BIOFLOK BACTERIA IN THE MEDIA OF TIGER SHRIMP (Penaeus monodon)
Get PDFThis research was conducted to assess different carbon sources\u27 addition to heterotrophic bacteria\u27s density in tiger prawn rearing media (Penaeus monodon). The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and five replications with experimental treatments, namely: A (without giving a carbon source), B (carbon source molasses with a C/N ratio of 15: 1), C (source flour carbon with a C/N ratio of 15: 1) and D (a source of tapioca carbon with a C / N ratio of 15: 1). The test organism used was tiger shrimp PL-21 with a weight of ± 0.005 g, which was maintained with a stocking density of 100 fish / 50 liters of water for 30 days. During the maintenance of shrimp, it is given pellet type feed with a frequency of three times a day, as much as 3% of the shrimp biomass. Providing bacterial activation is carried out every ten days with organic carbon sources every day in the morning and evening. The results showed that the group of microorganisms identified as Bacillus sp. diatoms, ciliates, copepods, Paramecium sp., Synedra sp., and nematodes. Providing tapioca carbon sources resulted in the highest bacterial density (9.0 ? 10? CFU ml ). In comparison, the highest floc volume was produced by treatment with the addition of flour carbon sources (3.65 ml/l)
