Abstract

This Research on the diversity of Mangrove species in Pantai Mutiara Pari Village, Pantai Cermin Subdistrict, Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatera Province was conducted in October s.d November 2012. The objective of this research is to know the diversity of species and mangrove vegetation based on growth level. The research method is explorative survey technique method. The sample collection for the research vegetation data consisted of observation plots with a total of 12 plots derived from 3 transects. The results of the study were 6 species of mangroves: Avicennia marina, Bruguiera sexangula, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora mucronata, and Nypa fruticans, belonging to 3 families namely Avicenniaceae, Rhizophoraceae, and Arecaceae. From the analysis, it is known that Avicennia marina, Rhizophora apiculata and Rhizophora stylosa species dominate the coastal area of Pantai Mutiara Desa Kota Pari Pantai Pantai Cermin. Based on the analysis of data obtained, the index of diversity (H ) of mangroves on the beach is low, ie the seedlings H = 0.87, the H1 = 1,34 and the H = 1.20. This indicates that the type of mangrove contained in the beach is small.

Abstract

The spesies composition of arthropods on agro-ecosystem can be seen as a general indicator for ecosystem stability and ecological resilience. Agricultural intensification has been linked with losses of biodiversity and disruption of key ecosystem services in farmed landscapes. This study aimed to determine how cropping system and farming systems able to increase the diversity of insects on potato field, that can be used as an integrated pest management strategy. The result showed that insect diversity index and population of natural enemies in polyculture cropping system is higher than monoculture cropping system, while the pest population is lower. Insect diversity index and population of natural enemies in organic farming systems is higher than conventional farming systems, in general the pest population was lower in conventional farming systems, but not significant with organic farming system. The polyculture cropping potatoes+cabbage+mustard+celery, potatoes+cabbage, potato+mustard respectively which grown by organic farming systems provide the highest insect diversity index, the lowest percentage of crop damage, the lowest populations of pest, and the highest natural enemy populations when compared with the same polyculture cropping with conventional farming systems. Keywords: Cropping system; farming system; insect diversity; potato

The red chili commodities is the important contribution in farming, but the nature of this perishable commodity, is seasonal, while consumption occurs throughout the year, it requires a good marketing system. The objectives of this study to get a current red chili marketing system at the Batubara District and analyze the most efficient marketing system and analyze the margin of red chilli marketing at the Batubara District. The methode of study is descriptive quantitative by questionnaire. Respondents consisted of 26 farmers producers, collector of 26, merchant retailers of 18.  The result of studies shows that : 1) the marketing channel 3 has the lowest marketing margin of Rp. 4500, 2) smaller marketing margins obtained from the small price difference between farm gate price and the retail price level (consumer price). This shows the marketing channel 3 is more efficient than marketing channels 1, 2 and 4 . However, based to the amount of red chili farmers who choose to use channel 3 is lower than channels 1 and 2 . So operationally channel 3 is not necessarily more efficient because it is only used by 18.57 % of the farmers while channel 1 at 42.85, and channel 2 at 25.71 %. The role of stakeholders to improve the income of farmers through efficient marketing channels is needed. Government efforts are needed to increase their knowledge of processing technologies in the long term so that farmers are able to cultivate chili production in the form of home industry Keywords : efficiency, marketing, chili

Abstract

The development of coffee plantations carried out by the Government in the future requires a lot of coffee seeds while coffee seed entrepreneurs are very limited. One of the reasons why people/farmers are reluctant to do business in the field of coffee hatchery is the fear of experiencing losses. Therefore this research was conducted which aims to analyze the business in the field of coffee hatchery. Through the interview method, 6 (six) studies were conducted, namely CV. Wana Bhakti, KPT. Sahabat Sejati, UD. Radot, Awaluddin Sitompul, CV. Putra Perkasa and CV.Dharma Nusantara located in North Tapanuli and Pematang Siantar. The results of the business analysis showed that the entire coffee seed producers studied had very large profits as indicated by the net income of 6 coffee producers each of Rp. 429,945,000, Rp. 277,805,000, Rp. 329,845,000, Rp. 288,127,000, Rp. 272,199,000 and Rp. 719,285,000.
