Abstract

Soil fertility can influence seed production and seedling growth. This study compared seed yields, seed and seedling characteristics of eight forage legumes (Stylosanthesscabra, S. hamata, Centrosemabrasilianum, C. pascuorum, Desmanthuspubescens, D. Virgatus, Macroptiliumbracteatum and M. martii) grown on two soil types (red and yellow kandosols), of low fertility, that are widespread in the Australian tropical rangelands. Seeds of the Desmanthus species germinated most rapidly and, with M. bracteatum, produced the highest proportion of readily germinable seed. M. bracteatum seed produced on the Yellow Kandosol germinated significantly faster, as did the S. hamata from the Red Kandosol than the other species. S. scabra cv. Seca and C. brasilianum produced more readily germinable seeds from plants grown on the Red Kandosol. C. pascuorum, D. pubescens and M. bracteatum produced a higher percentage of readily germinable seeds and fewer hard seeds when grown on the Yellow Kandosol. No significant differences were found in seedling vigour or biomass allocation from seeds produced on the different soil types

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the growth and yield of shallot Lembah Palu variety planted on dry land with different direction and form of seedbeds. It have been carried out in January-April 2013 in the village of Guntarano, Tanantovea Sub Districts, District of Donggala, Central Sulawesi. This study used a Spilt Plot Design. The main plot was the seedbed direction (A) consisting of: (A1) = seedbeds in the direction of the slope of the land, and (A2) = seedbeds crossed the slope direction. Sub-plot was the form of beds (B) comprises of: (B1) = depth seedbeds and (B2) = high seedbeds. Each treatment was repeated 3 times, so that there were 12 experimental units. The research found that (i) the direction of the beds as well as its interaction with the form of beds did not significantly affect the growth and yield of shallot ‘Lembah Palu’ on dry land. (ii) depth seedbeds produces the number of leaves, leaf length, leaf dry weight, total leaf areaper plant, and total dry weight per plant, and the number of tubers per clump and the weight of the harvested dry tuber per hectare was higher than high seedbeds form.

Abstract

Seaweed farming development received support from local government with “Gema Biru Sulawesi Tengah” which makes seaweed commodities became the competitive commodity across sectors in the region. Nowadays, the demand of the dried seaweeds as well as semi-finished products (semi-finished carrageenan) tends to be increased rapidly because they are classified as healthy food. On the other hand, the farmer in the district of Bangkep relatively still being traditional by planting in the territorial which estimated suitable for seaweed. The Study aims to identify the water potential of seaweed farming and to analyze the economic variables that affecting the production of seaweed based on its deployment area. This research is conducted in Bangkep in 4sub-districts area i.e. Bulagisub-district (Peling Peasa, Bulagi and Kambal village), South Bulagi District (Bulagi, Palabatu, and Lolantang village), South Tingkung district (Tinangkung, Bobu and Gangsal village) and Liang district (Apal, binatuli and Liang village). The determination of locations is done purposively with 56 respondents. The data Analysis used are suitability analysis with water measurement and testing of water sample as well as regression analysis. The research shows that the locations of the farms have water quality which suitable with the seaweed, which shown by the result of the physical-chemical measurement parameters that meet with the growing requirements in the range of achievement 74.00-82.67%. Economic aspects show the average income of the seaweed farmers are Rp. 1.614.434. Further variables simultaneously independent (age, education, number of dependents, experience, the amount of expanses, and prices) that affect the production of seaweed, while partially only age, experience, amount of expanses, and prices significantly affect the production on the t value of each are 2.57; 3.69; 2.49; and 2.33.

Abstract

Palu is one of the main areas that have regional salinity and the management is still using the traditional way. Internal factors of inner salt farmers and external factors affecting the production of folk salt in the city of Palu. This study aims to (1) identify the internal factors that become strengths and weaknesses in increased production of community-based salt at Palu bay; (2) identify external factors that became opportunities and threats in the increased production of community-based salt in Palu Bay; (3) define an alternative strategies for improving folk’s salt production in Palu bay. SWOT analysis results indicate that the appropriate strategy in improving the community-based salt production in Palu bay is in the position of the quadrant I SO strategy (Strength-Opportunities). This strategy is implemented by the program: (1) Maximizing production by utilizing the available resources; (2) Increasing the salt farmer mastery of science that accompanied the adoption of appropriate technological innovation; and (3) Increasing capacity in marketing management and build a broader partnership. The results of the analysis obtained the best strategy QSPM the 2nd program "Improvement of salt farmer mastery of science that accompanied the adoption of technological innovations.

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) Determine the influence of land area, number of seeds, the amount of fertilizer and the amount of labor to the production of Non Hybrids peanuts variety in the District of South Totikum, and (2) Determine how much the Non hybrids peanut varieties farm income in the District of South Totikum. The sampling technique in this study is a simple random sampling method. Total population of around 200 non-hybrid peanut farmers. The amount of sample determine as much as 20% of the total population, so the number of samples used in this study were 40 respondents. Analysis of the data used Cobb-Douglass multiple linear regression analysis and the non-hybrid peanut farmer average income analysis. The results showed that the independent variable (Xi)jointly significant effect on the dependent variable (Y) non-hybrid peanut production, the value of F count 70.903> F-table 4.46, Coefficient of determination R2 = 0.995 and R2 adjstsq = 0.995. means 99.5% Variation Value of non-hybrid peanut production (Y) can be explained by the variable land area (X1), the number of seeds (X2), fertilizers (X3), Labor (X4) and pesticides (X5) whereas 0.5 % more can be explained other models. Land area variable, number of seeds, fertilizer, labor, and pesticides, simultaneously can affect the production of non-hybrid peanut farm in the district of South Totikum. Coefficient regression/elasticity of the land area (X1)= 0.851, number of seeds (X2)= 0.066, the amount of fertilizer (X3)= 0,0,059, the amount of labor (x4)= -0.242 and pesticides (X5)= 0,049 on the level of α 0.01. The average production of non-hybrid peanuts cultivation of 1923.07 kg of dry pods/ha. The average income of non-hybrid peanuts farming are USD 10,254,962.12/ha per growing season.
