Fri, 22 Mar 2024 15:00:51 +0700

The area at the foot of Mount Merbabu, more precisely in Batur Village, has an altitude of 1,200‒1,800 meters above sea level, so it is very suitable for cultivating potato plants. Several farmers have cultivated this, but the production results are not always optimal. The potato crop productivity problems faced by farmers in BUMDes are: 1) Limited quality seeds; 2) The price of seeds is high and difficult for farmers to reach; 3) Farmers use seeds from some crops that are not of good quality so the yield is low and susceptible to disease; and 4) Farmers are unfamiliar with the technology for producing superior potato seeds. The University of Muhammadiyah Malang has superior virus-free seed sources and technology that can be adopted and disseminated to farmers to produce quality seeds independently so that they can overcome the problems they face. Activities are carried out in a participatory manner using tutorial methods, training and demonstration plots at locations, and group mentoring. Partners agree to actively provide human resources, necessary facilities, and accompanying funds in implementing activities. At this time, farmers have understood planet acclimatization technology. They can produce 5,000 mini cuttings from 500 acclimatized broodstock, 10,000 G0 seeds, and 25 tonnes/ha of G2 seeds using rooted shoot-cutting technology. Additionally, partner farmers have obtained permits as seed producers from BPSB (Seed Supervision and Certification Center). This program is ongoing, and UMM will assist on an ongoing basis until the establishment of an independent BUMDes for potato seeds in Semarang Regency.

Desi Nadalia, Yayat Hidayat, Wahyu Purwakusuma — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 15:21:06 +0700

The development of organic rice has long been echoed in Indonesia as a sustainable agriculture system to produce healthy food and be environmentally friendly. The lower productivity of organic rice compared to conventional rice, less competitive marketing of organic rice, and limited availability of organic fertilizers in the field are the main reasons for the low adoption and development of organic rice by farmers, such as in the upland organic rice development area in Cipatujah, Tasikmalaya Regency. Socialization of organic rice cultivation techniques through organic fertilizer field schools and organic rice technical culture demonstration plots are efforts to increase farmers' adoption of organic rice. The field school is focused on making good quality organic fertilizer formulations in solid and liquid forms. In contrast, the organic rice cultivation demonstration plot aims to determine the dose of organic fertilizer to support optimal growth and productivity of organic rice plants. The solid organic fertilizer formulation produces good quality organic fertilizer with a pH of 8,54-8,71, C-organic content of 27,87-28,63%, C/N ratio of 18,96 – 21,60, and macronutrient contents (N+P2O5+K2O) of 4,67 – 5,13%. Liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) formulations have not produced excellent quality LOF, primarily related to the low pH (pH <4) and low macronutrient contents (N+P2O5+K2O) of 0,49-2,16%. The growth of organic rice plants with a dose of 3 tons/ha (organic rice I) and 6 tons/ha (organic rice II) is slower than conventional rice (chemical fertilizer). At the same time, plant growth of organic rice III (dose 9 tons/ha) was better than conventional rice in terms of number of tillers and plant height.

A questionnaire was distributed during the training to assess the participant's understanding of preserving food products using the thermal process. The sterilization process was performed by heating chicken satay in a pressure cooker for 1 hour (calculated since the maximum pressure cooker's temperature was reached), resulting in F0 values ranging from 4.2 to 5.2 minutes. The training was delivered by providing theoretical and practical experience. Data from questionnaires showed that the training improved the participants' understanding, with the average score per participant increased from 6.13 to 10.92 (32% increase).
