The agricultural sector, especially rice, is one of the leading sectors, which is very important in helping to support the economy in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The yields of rice production cannot be separated from the role of agricultural extension workers. Agricultural extension workers certainly play an important role in encouraging changes in the behavior of farmers in order to improve their welfare. This study aimed to determine farmers' perceptions of the agricultural extension workers' role as a dynamic actor, facilitators, and motivators. This research was conducted in Maluhu Village, Tenggarong Subdistrict, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The data collected is in the form of primary and secondary data. Data was collected through library research, observation, and interviews with the help of questionnaires. The farmer population comes from advanced-class farmer groups totaling 248 people. The number of samples used was determined using the Slovin formula, which consisted of 38 people—aimed at wet rice farmers who were members of the advanced class farmer groups. Selected respondents were determined using the purposive sampling method. The analysis used in this research is a descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that farmers' perceptions of the agricultural extension workers' role as a dynamic actor were relatively good. Farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers as facilitators and farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers as motivators were in a good category. Farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers were classified as good, predominantly farmers aged between 50 and 59 years, at elementary school education level, and the size of the land they owned was between 0.25 and 0.5 ha. The analysis showed that farmers' age, education, and land tenure were not correlated with farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers as dynamicator, facilitators, and motivators. However, farmer education was significantly correlated, at a 10% error level, to perceptions of the role of extension workers' roles as motivators.

Agricultural mechanization used provides benefits in farming, namely cost efficiency. Harvester Combine Machine (HCM) use in rice farming can eliminate harvesting labor. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of HCM use to the rice farming laborers in Durian Seginim Village, and to analyze the adaptation actions taken by the laborers because of the impact of using HCM. The research was conducted in October 2022. The number of respondents was 100 and the data was taken randomly from 192 rice farmers who use HCM. The data analysis method used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The results showed that the use of HCM in rice farming provides benefits for farm owners in savings in harvesting costs of 23.99 percent. However, the use of HCM reduced employment opportunities by 58.72- time allocation of labor/Ha (36.78% of the total farming workforce). Specifically for harvesting workers, labor absorption decreased by 42.70 time allocation of labor/Ha (25.91%) which was dominated by female workers from outside the family. Female workers experienced a decline in their income and contribution to household income by 46.99 percent. The three adaptation actions most frequently carried out by harvesting workers are working in the on-farm agricultural sector outside rice farming (21%), working on land that does not use HCM (17%), and selling large or small of rice stock, user savings, etc. (13%)

The corn farmer households examined in this study participated in the dryland transmigration program to enhance welfare by furnishing livelihood capital to poor farmer households. This research compares the livelihood capital of corn farmer households in the transmigration areas of Gorontalo and Boalemo districts, Gorontalo, Indonesia, and examines its impact on their livelihood strategy selection. The study involved 240 poor corn farmer households. Data analysis was conducted by computing the livelihood capital index through entropy weighting analysis, followed by multinomial logistic regression analysis to examine the influence of livelihood capital on livelihood strategies. Findings indicate a higher level of livelihood capital in Boalemo Regency than in Gorontalo Regency, with Boalemo District outperforming in physical and human capital. In contrast, the Gorontalo district excels in natural and social capital. However, the financial capital of corn farmer households in both regions still needs to be improved. Natural and human capital significantly influences the likelihood of corn farming households opting for on-farm strategies over a combination of on-farm and off-farm strategies. In the case of on-farm and off-farm strategies, natural capital substantially enhances the probability of corn farmer households selecting both on-farm and off-farm strategies rather than solely on-farm and non-farm strategies. Conversely, physical capital diminishes the likelihood of corn farmer households adopting both on-farm and off-farm strategies compared to the combination of on-farm and non-farm strategies.

Tropical regions face threats from pests, leading to significant losses in the global potato supply. Intercropping potatoes with faba beans is being explored to control pest infestations in tropical areas. This study aims to provide insights into pest dynamics and improve pestmanagement strategies for sustainable potato cultivation. The research evaluates five cropping systems, each replicated across seven beds: potato monoculture, alternating growth of potatoes and faba beans at a 2:1 ratio, planting faba beans between the rows of potatoes at a 1:1 ratio, growing faba beans between two beds of potatoes, and cultivating solely faba beans. The study looked at various factors such as the type and intensity of pest attacks on potatoes. It found that planting faba beans alongside potatoes can help reduce aphid (Homoptera: Aphididae) and mirid bug (Hemipetra: Miridae) attacks, but may not affect grasshopper (Orthoptera: Acrididaeand Pyrgomorphidae) attacks. The distance between potato beds and the population of faba bean plants can also influence pest interactions. Understanding these dynamics offers important information for sustainable pest management practices in intercropping systems.

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is a food and industrial crop and a base for agricultural production. Adding organic material can increase plant growth and produce high yields. One of the organic materials that can be used is palm oil mill solid waste, specifically solid decanter cake (DC). However, the results showed that DC could only substitute 50 per cent of chemical fertilisers. DC must be combined with other materials, specifically Plant Growth plant-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), to maximise its benefits. PGPR is a group of bacteria that live in the plant rhizosphere and actively function as biofertilisers, biostimulants, and bioprotectants. Combining DC and PGPR is necessary because they have a mutually beneficial relationship, as DC is an organic material that can provide the nutrients PGPR bacteria need. This research will evaluate whether the collaboration of DC and PGPR can increase soybean growth and yield in ultisols using a Randomized Block Design. Combining decanter cake (DC) with a PGPR concentration can enhance soybean growth and yield. Soybean plants treated with 15-ton ha-1 + 50% PGPR DC tend to have the highest number of leaves, plant height, and number of branches, but DC 10-ton, ha-1 + 30% PGPR, has an equivalent effect. The treatment of 10 tons per hectare of decanter cake with 30% PGPR concentration tended to have the highest number of pods and yield.

The agricultural industry is crucial for the national economy's growth, and the government is committed to advancing development policies. However, challenges persist, necessitating collaboration between the private sector, government, and other stakeholders. This study examines the impact of the Corporate Social Responsibility program on farmers' income in North Halmahera Regency. The study was carried out specifically in the districts of Kao Teluk, Malifut, Kao, Kao Barat, and Kao Utara, between December 2022 and March 2023. The data utilized in this study were gathered through interviews and a questionnaire administered to one hundred respondents, specifically farmers who had benefited from the Community Development and Empowerment of Corporate Social Responsibility program and were deliberately selected using a purposive sampling method. The research employed the Structural Equation Model approach for data analysis and processing, utilizing Microsoft Excel and the SmartPLS application version 4. According to the study's findings, farmer participation and perceptions significantly and positively impacted the implementation of the Corporate Social Responsibility program. Similarly, smallholder participation, perceptions, and the execution of the Corporate Social Responsibility program have a substantial and favorable impact on farmers' income. Enhanced farmer participation is directly proportional to improved farmer perception, thereby facilitating the successful execution of the CSR program and guaranteeing favorable outcomes, impacts, and agricultural sustainability-thereby augmenting farmers' incomes.

The data utilized in this study were gathered through interviews and a questionnaire administered to one hundred respondents, specifically farmers who had benefited from the Community Development and Empowerment of Corporate Social Responsibility program and were deliberately selected using a purposive sampling method. The research employed the Structural Equation Model approach for data analysis and processing, utilizing Microsoft Excel and the SmartPLS application version 4. According to the study's findings, farmer participation and perceptions significantly and positively impacted the implementation of the Corporate Social Responsibility program. Similarly, smallholder participation, perceptions, and the execution of the Corporate Social Responsibility program have a substantial and favorable impact on farmers' income. Enhanced farmer participation is directly proportional to improved farmer perception, thereby facilitating the successful execution of the CSR program and guaranteeing favorable outcomes, impacts, and agricultural sustainability-thereby augmenting farmers' incomes.","PeriodicalId":53109,"journal":{"name":"Agric","volume":"299 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141839419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid development in the world of tourism has become a special attraction for research, especially for agro-tourism businesses with a lot of potential. Therefore, a business model and strategy are needed that are appropriate and suitable for agro-tourism businesses by analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats currently being faced as well as developing a business model that will be implemented in the future based on the business model canvas. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive method with the research location at the Rekadena agrotourism business, which is located in Jeruju Besar Village, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The variable consist of customer segmnets, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structure. The result of the research are segmented consumer segmentation, channels run by agro-tourism in the form of communication, distribution, and direct selling, as well as providing personal assistance and relying on service quality. Rekadena's agro-tourism motivation in establishing partner relations is the acquisition of resources and activities. In addition, the cost structure of rekadena's agro-tourism shows that the biggest cost factor in the company is employee salaries.

A monophage herbivorous insect called S. pectinicornis can be utilized to biologically control the weed Pistia stratiotes. Insect mass reproduction followed by release into the target weed area is one technique that can be used. The quality of the feed must be taken into consideration during maintenance in order to increase the fitness of S. pectinicornis insects and enable them to function at their best. The fertilization procedure can improve the nutritional value of P. stratiotes as a feed source. The experiment involved applying NPK fertilizer to P. stratiotes at 6 different levels: 0 g (control); 5 g; 10 g; 15 g; 20 g; and 25 g. The findings demonstrated that when NPK fertilizer was applied to Pistia stratiotes, S. pectiniconis larvae, pupae, and imago had a better chance of surviving than controls. S. pectinicornis showed improved insect growth and development since its lifespan was shorter than controls at every developmental stage. The ideal NPK fertilizer dose for maintaining Pistia stratiotes as feed during S. pectinicornis propagation is 15g/20 L of water.
一种名为 S. pectinicornis 的单噬菌体食草昆虫可用于对杂草 Pistia stratiotes 进行生物防治。 昆虫大量繁殖后释放到目标杂草区是一种可采用的技术。在维护过程中,必须考虑到饲料的质量,以提高果核昆虫的体能,使其发挥最佳功能。 施肥程序可以提高 P. stratiotes 作为饲料来源的营养价值。研究结果表明,向地肤子施用氮磷钾肥料后,S. pectiniconis 幼虫、蛹和卵的存活率高于对照组。S. pectinicornis 在每个发育阶段的寿命都比对照组短,因此昆虫的生长和发育得到了改善。在 S. pectinicornis 繁殖过程中,维持 Pistia stratiotes 作为饲料的理想氮磷钾肥料剂量为 15 克/20 升水。
