Abstract

Pepper is the main commodity South Sulawesi and is the main source of income for farmers. Potential that is owned, has the opportunity to increase product competitiveness in obtaining added value. The method used is a case study on the pepper business in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using value-added analysis using Hayami's value-added method. The results of the analysis show that the value added generated by processing pepper seeds into powdered white pepper is IDR 197,218/kg, which means that for every 1 kg of raw material for white pepper seeds will be added IDR 197,218/kg, while the value added of ground black pepper is IDR 202,474/kg, which means that for every 1 kg of black pepper seed raw material, an value added of Rp.202,474/kg will be generated. The resulting profitability for white pepper is 56.35 percent and for black pepper is 57.85 percent. This shows that the processing of peppercorns into powdered pepper can generate profits of 56.35 percent white pepper and 57.85 percent black pepper respectively. The policy to increase ground pepper production has contributed positively to improving the regional economy, with the value added of black pepper and white pepper above 55 percent.

Abstract

Increasing the number of inhabitants in Indonesia led to the limited agricultural land so that the paddy fields become narrow and limited, the limited paddy fields caused agricultural production in Indonesia to decline while demand increased. Tidal land cultivation is still rarely performed due to the high salt content (NaCl). The purpose of this study is to obtain upland rice cultivars that are tolerant of salinity stress. The study was conducted in November to December 2019 at the Seed and Science Technology Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tadulako. The study was arranged using a completely randomized design (CRD) of two factors where the first factor consisted of two levels, namely Logi, and Tako, while the second factor consisted of five levels, namely 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, and 0.9% were repeated three times. The results showed that tako cultivars have a good tolerance to salinity stress compared to logi cultivars, tako cultivars have the fastest germination time and germination capacity above 80%. At a concentration of 0.5% can not inhibit the growth of upland rice, but at a concentration of 0.9% can inhibit the growth of upland rice.

Abstract

Fertilization is one of the important factor to increase production. The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate dosage of inorganic fertilizers to increase the growth and yield of three cultivars of upland rice. This research was conducted at the Center for Research and Development of Gogo Rice, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, Kalama, Tamarenja Village at an altitude of 180 to 250 above sea level with a latitude of 00o 26'51.5” South Latitude and 119o49'50.6” East Latitude, Sindue District, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The time of the research started from March to August 2020. This research was compiled and carried out using the factorial 2 factors Randomized Block Design (RBD) method. The first factor used three local upland rice cultivars, namely: Pae Bohe, Buncaili, and Uva Buya, while the second factor used six doses of inorganic fertilizers, namely: No fertilization, NPK fertilization 100 kg/ha, 200 kg/ha, 300 kg/ha, 400 kg/ha, and 500 kg/ha. There were 18 combinations, where each treatment was repeated three times so that there were 54 research units. Parameters observed included plant height, number of productive tillers, age of panicle appear, harvest age, number of panicle grains, percentage of empty grain, 1000 grain weight and production. The results showed that the Pae bohe cultivar with fertilization dose of 500 kg/ha produced the highest number of productive tillers (6.69 per clump), the lower percentage of grain pests (5.34%), and the highest production (3.82 tons/ha).

Abstract

Garlic leaves contain a phytochemical compound, namely allicin which functions as an antimicrobial and antioxidant and can reduce cholesterol and fat in the body so that it can produce healthy chicken growth. Research on meat quality and productivity of broilers obtaining the garlic leaves meal percentage (R0=0; R1=2.5; R2=5.0; R3=7.5; P4=10%) in feed. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with The Honest Significant Difference (HSD) as an advanced test. The parameters observed were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, carcass percentage, and carcass component percentage (chest, upper thigh, lower thigh, back, wings, and abdominal fat). The results showed the addition of garlic leaves meal had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on protein digestibility, energy metabolism, and feed consumption, but had no effect (P>0.05) on body weight gain and feed conversion. Treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the percentage of chicken breast carcass components, a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the upper thigh and lower thigh carcass components but had no effect (P>0.05) on carcass percentage, chicken back and wings. Treatment had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the percentage of abdominal fat. In conclusion, the treatment gave excellent growth in broilers and produced healthier meat due to the low abdominal fat content.

Abstract

The red onion of the Palu Valley variety is a type of shallot that grows well in the Palu valley and its surroundings. It has a distinctive taste when fried, so it is one of the souvenirs from the city of Palu. This study aimed at examining the soil’s physical properties on land often planted with shallots. This research was conducted in Guntarano Village, Donggala Regency. Soil samples were analysed at the Laboratory of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tadulako. The research was carried out from June to November 2022. The method used was a survey method and the research location was determined deliberately (purposive sampling). The soil samples were taken on shallot farming land at flat and back of the slope. Depending on the area of the land, there were five composite samples where each composite sampling representing from 5-10 points of observation. The results of analystzing the physical properties of the soil showed that the shallot fields had a crumb to lumpy soil structure; medium to heavy bulk density; soil organic matter varied from medium to high; and water conten at field capacity range from 16.12% to 22.85%. The soil in the shallot farming area has begun to show poor soil quality due to high soil porosity (66,09 %) and high soil permeability (13,10 cm/hour).

Abstract

Indonesia is listed as one of the countries with a high rate of deforestation. This deforestation occurs in almost all islands in Indonesia, including Sulawesi. Deforestation analysis needs to be carried out to determine the rate of change in forest cover and the factors that cause it, so that forms of forest management can be planned to achieve sustainable forest management This analysis is expected to fulfill the need for information on how the vulnerability of deforestation occurs spatially, where the locations of deforestation occur and what factors encourage deforestation and forest degradation. The study found that the rate of forest decrease from 1990 to 2020 was 328 hectares/year with the highest rate was from 1990 to 2000 with rate of forest decrease 690 hectares/year. The deforestation located in four area that has difference land cover change. Area 1 changed to settlement and dry land agriculture, area 2 changed to cocoa plantation by the local community planted in 2000s, area 3 changed to cocoa plantation by the local community planted in 2010s. Area 4 changed to open area/bareland indicated after ilegal logging occurred since 2000.

Abstract

This research aims (1) to discover the factors influencing food security; (2) to determine food security after a natural disaster occurred on September 28, 2018. The research was conducted in Lambara, Central Sulawesi, from June to November 2021. The population of this study was 31 farmer households and, at the same time, became the study's sample. Data were obtained in several ways: literature study, interviews, and questionnaires. Data relating to food security is processed using portion of food expensesanalysis. On the other hand, an analysis of the factors affecting food security is carried out by OLS (Ordinary Least Square) analysis in multiple regression. Testing the hypothesis in multiple linear regression analysis is carried out by testing the regression coefficients, namely testing the regression coefficients as a whole (F-test) and the regression coefficients partially (t-test) with a 2-way test α = 5%. From the data processing results, it is known that the food security of farming households after natural disasters based on the share of food expensesis 70.97% food secure and 29.03% food insecure. Factors with significant effects on food security after natural disasters are income and level of education.

Abstract

Education for sustainable development (ESD) became a highlighted issue in the educational sector all around the world. The concept is to integrate the social, economic, and environmental aspects to create a more comprehensive solution to maintain planet sustainability. Higher education as an institution that creates agents of change in society must be adapted toward nowadays issues that are related to global development. Agricultural industries became an area that was also impacted by climate change. Higher education is an institution that also undertakes tri dharma that carries on their solution toward this issue. This research aims to explore how to integrate of Education for Sustainable Development in higher education institutions (HEI) to reduce the impact of climate change on agricultural industries. The research uses a systemic literature review related to the topic. This research result is a strategy to integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in higher education starting by making a commitment, program planning, and integrating into the curriculum to improve the university student’s awareness about the impact of climate change on food security and planet sustainability. Higher education can make a broad effect on agricultural mitigation of climate change. This program can be implemented in a higher education institution to make a more relevant learning process that also supports “Merdeka Belajar” curriculum in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic that has occurred in Indonesia has brought many significant impacts on human life in various aspects of people's lives. Policies during the pandemic such as Work from Home (WFH) and Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) have also had a socioeconomic impact on the community, including the most basic needs, namely food. On the other hand, agricultural land that continues to be eroded for the benefit of development and the age of farmers who are on average old whose ability to grow them is declining also play a role in the decline in food. The threat of a food crisis is now gradually beginning to haunt the entire society. Based on Global Hunger Indonesia (GHI) data, the hunger rate of people in Indonesia is in the serious category even though it has decreased from 24.9% (2010) to 20.1% in 2019. Indonesia must remain vigilant against the threat of famine that can trigger various kinds of major issues such as health, social and security. Urban farming is a gardening concept by utilizing the space in the house or settlement. Based on the foregoing, urban farming is very supportive and gives positive appreciation because it has proven to provide more benefits for the community in the midst of a pandemic. A number of studies also mention that urban farming can be an ideal agricultural concept in the future. In addition to the considerable benefits of urban farming, the main challenges in urban farming are determining how to monitor, regulate, and minimize risks in environmental, economic, and socio-environmental forms and understanding how urban farming can be sustainable in urban food systems globally. Urban agriculture can increase the value of food locality and reduce the energy spent in the fruit and vegetable production process. Therefore, the city government has an important role in providing specific regulations to support the implementation of sustainable urban farming.
