Potency and Conservation of Aren (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) in Meru Betiri National Park, East Java-Indonesia
No full textAren (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) is a high ecological and economical value species of Indonesia. Aren grows spreading in Indonesia including at Meru Betiri National Park in the province of East Java, Indonesia. The community in Meru Betiri National Park uses aren fruit which is called kolang-kaling. Even though aren grows naturally in this area, the community has not maximized its utilization. This study aims to identify the actual and ideal conditions for aren conservation also to analyse the gap between them, and to formulate the conservation actions to realize a sustainable aren conservation in Meru Betiri National Park. The data wascollected by using vegetation analysis and in-depth interviews with all of the aren farmers. Aren regeneration in Meru Betiri National Park is categorized stable and seems to be decreased. The use of aren by the community is limited only from the fruit as kolang-kaling. There is a gap between current and ideal conditions for achieving aren sustainability. To achieve the ideal conditions, conservation actions are needed among aren farmers by utilizing agroforestry systems, increasing the value of aren, intensive coaching for aren farmers, and forming a group of aren farmer
Review: Etnotaksonomi dan bioekologi tumbuhan pasak bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack.)
No full textEurycoma longifolia (EL) is a species that have economical benefit as medicinal ingredients for human health. This species grows in tropical forest areas with high rainfall. Research on the ecology of EL has been done a lot, but research related to ethnotaxonomic, bioecology that includes morphology, ecology, and the association of EL with other plants hasn’t been done much. This study aim to analyze the bioecology of EL plant. The method is literature study, which is looking for literature on the results of research that has been carried out related to EL. The results showed that EL has long been known by the communities of Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia with several local names. This plant is also associated with other plants around where it grows, one of which is kempas (Koompassia malaccensis). Based on the results of literature review, research on natural regeneration of EL hasn’t been done much. Therefore, there is a need for research related to the natural regeneration of EL. In addition, it is necessary to conduct research related to the characteristics of the place to grow for optimal cultivation of EL. Thus, the preservation of EL in the future can be maintained
REVIEW: BUDIDAYA DAN PEMANENAN PASAK BUMI (Eurycoma longifolia Jack)
No full textPasak bumi (Eurycoma longifolia) merupakan spesies berkhasiat obat yang banyak dimanfaatkan bagi kesehatan manusia. Manfaat pasak bumi yang beragam menyebabkan tumbuhan ini sering dieksploitasi dan dijual hingga ke luar negeri, sehingga populasinya di hutan alam semakin menurun. Review ini bertujuan untuk mengulas teknik perbanyakan, sistem budidaya, dan teknik pemanenan tumbuhan pasak bumi. Metode yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah studi pustaka, yaitu mencari pustaka hasil penelitian yang sudah dilakukan terkait budidaya dan pemanenan pasak bumi. Hasil telaah pustaka menunjukkan bahwa teknik perbanyakan pasak bumi dapat dilakukan secara vegetatif dan generatif. Sistem budidaya pasak bumi dapat dilakukan secara monokultur maupun campuran. Pasak bumi di Indonesia masih dipanen dari alam dengan menggunakan teknik tuas. Proses pasca panen pasak bumi masih dilakukan secara tradisional, tetapi penelitian terkait pengolahan pasak bumi secara modern sudah mulai dilakukan, yaitu pengolahan pasak bumi dengan mesin giling dan pengekstrakan pasak bumi. Berdasarkan hasil telaah pustaka masih sangat minim informasi terkait alat pengolahan pasak bumi. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian terkait alat pengolahan pasak bumi
Morphological Characteristics and Potential of Sago (Metroxylon spp.) in Lingga Regency, Riau Islands, Indonesia
No full textSago (Metroxylon) is one of the local food species with development potential. Lingga Regency is one of the potential locations for sago development. However, no research on the morphological characteristics and production of sago in Lingga Regency has been conducted. The purpose of this research is to determine the morphological characteristics and production of sago in Lingga Regency. This study's sago plants came from six sago-producing villages. Before and after the sago trees were harvested, morphological characteristics and production were observed, with random sampling at each research site. Field observations on the potential of sago stands were conducted at the study site using the transect method with a single plot. Based on morphological characters there are two types of sago in Lingga: spiny and thornless sago. The morphological characteristics and sago production vary greatly between research sites. Sago stands have a production potential ranging from 3.37 to 14.55 tons ha-1. Because they have a starch content of more than 200 kg stem-1, the majority of sago accessions in Lingga are superior accessions with the potential to be further developed. Superior sago comes from the villages of Musai, Pekaka, Keton, and Teluk
Strategi Peningkatan Ekonomi Masyarakat Bangka Melalui Pemberdayaan Ekowisata Kelekak Aren
No full textRekomendasi kebijakan yang perlu dilakukan dalam upaya peningkatan potensi ekonomi aren: 1) membantu penyediaan bibit aren dan pendampingan dalam penanaman dan pemeliharaannya; 2) penyediaan sentra pembibitan aren yang berkualitas; 3) perlu pendampingan pengolah gula aren agar memenuhi standar kualitas yang dibutuhkan sebagai pengrajin gula aren; 4) pembentukan kelompok sadar wisata (pokdarwis) aren yang membuat ekowisata berbasis kelekak aren
