Certification is the judgment of a third party as a liaison between the buyer and the seller, where both parties must meet all of their respective certification criteria or standards. The Rahmat Kinara multi-purpose cooperative is one of the cooperatives engaged in the trade of Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade-certified Arabica coffee. This study aims to determine the difference between the selling price of Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade-certified coffee at the Rahmat Kinara multi-purpose cooperative, Pegasing, Central Aceh. This research uses time-series data, analyzed using the Mann-Whittney Test (U Test). The results of the Mann-Whittney Test (U Test) showed a significant value of (0.000) < α 0.05, meaning that there is a significant difference between the selling price of Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade-certified coffee. Sustainable Agriculture Support at the Rahmat Kinara multi-purpose cooperative improved the quality of the coffee crop (ecologically), helped withstand volatile price changes in global markets (economically), assisted in improving farm management, negotiating leverage, and providing access to premium markets (socially fair).Certification, Rainforest Alliance, Arabica Coffee, Fairtrade

Weed interference results in increased synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS). High accumulation of ROS causes oxidative stress and stimulates the activation of the antioxidant defense system in plants. Weed interference causes biotic stress in the form of allelochemicals and abiotic stress in the form of competition for plants which results in the inhibition of growth and development in plants. Ageratum conyzoides is an annual weed in plantations and can cause biotic and abiotic stress on surrounding plants. This study aims to determine the effect of A. conyzoides interference on antioxidant content in the form of total phenol and total proline in patchouli leaves [Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth cv. Sidikalang] as well as the percentage of essential oil yield from P. cablin. The study was conducted with a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with a single factor of A. conyzoides interference levels in as many as four treatments (0, 2, 4, 6 individuals of A. conyzoides per treatment). The results concluded that higher levels of A. conyzoides interference led to an increase in total phenol and total proline in P. cablin leaves, but decreased the percentage yield of P. cablin essential oil.

Feed safety becoming the main factor to produce good quality food. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of lactic acid bacteria in degrading aflatoxin B1, suppressing the growth of contaminant bacteria, and its application on feed. Biological degradation of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in liquid cultures and Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces aureus inhibition by Lactobacillus plantarum were examined. Fermentation of corn for 24 hours by L. plantarum was used to determine the ability of LAB to decrease E. coli, coliform, mold, and AFB1 on a solid substrate. This study showed that both L. plantarum TSD-10 and DR-162 could inhibit E. coli growth at 3% and 5% supernatant addition. The addition of 5% L. plantarum DR-162 and TSD-10 could inhibit S. aureus at 97.40% and 97.28%, respectively. Furthermore, viable cells of L. plantarum DR-162 and TSD-10 removed 56.97% and 64.65% AFB1 within 72 h of incubation, respectively. The AFB1 reduction by nonviable cell was lower than the viable cell. The population of E. coli, coliform, and mold completely disappeared in both fermentation treatment of corn by L. plantarum DR-162 and TSD-10 at 3% and 5%. AFB1 significantly decreased by 17.57% and 22.60% on 5% L. plantarum DR-162 and TSD-10 treatment.
饲料安全成为生产优质食品的主要因素。本试验旨在评价乳酸菌降解黄曲霉毒素B1、抑制污染菌生长的能力及其在饲料中的应用。研究了液体培养基中黄曲霉毒素B1 (AFB1)的生物降解以及植物乳杆菌对大肠杆菌和金黄色酵母菌的抑制作用。用L. plantarum发酵玉米24小时，测定LAB在固体基质上对大肠杆菌、大肠菌群、霉菌和AFB1的抑制能力。本研究表明，L. plantarum TSD-10和DR-162在添加3%和5%的上清液时均能抑制大肠杆菌的生长。5% L. plantarum DR-162和TSD-10对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑制率分别为97.40%和97.28%。此外，L. plantarum DR-162和TSD-10的活细胞在72 h内分别去除了56.97%和64.65%的AFB1。非活细胞对AFB1的减少量低于活细胞。植物乳杆菌DR-162和TSD-10在3%和5%发酵玉米时，大肠杆菌、大肠菌群和霉菌完全消失。5% L. plantarum DR-162和TSD-10处理的AFB1显著降低17.57%和22.60%。

The quality and effective fertilizers support site-specific nutrient management of paddy fields, which can increase yields and efficiency of fertilizer. Fertilizer formulas should be based on soil nutrient status and crop requirements. This study aims to examine the reformulation of compound NPK fertilizers for lowland rice. The study was conducted in Cibungbulang, Bogor Regency from October 2020 - March 2021. The experimental design was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments, and 3 replications. The treatments consisted of five levels of NPK 15-10-12 fertilizer doses, plus control treatment, NPK 15-15-15 and single NPK as standard, and additional treatment with the addition of straw compost. The plots were made measuring 5 m x 5 m. The results showed that statistically, the application of NPK 15-10-12 fertilizer gave the same effect on plant height, the number of tillers, weight of dry grain harvested, the weight of dry milled grain, and weight of dry straw compared to single NPK fertilizer and NPK 15-15-15. The optimum dose of NPK 15-10-12 fertilizer for lowland rice is 220 kg ha-1 combined with Urea at a dose of 225 kg ha-1. At the same dose (300 kg ha-1) the efficiency of NPK 15-10-12 fertilizer (9.70 kg grain kg-1 fertilizer) was higher than NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer (8.47 kg grain kg-1 fertilizer). Higher efficiency is indicated by lower fertilization doses. The RAE value of NPK 15-10-12 (142%) was higher than that of NPK 15-15-15 at the same dose and single NPK. This research implies that the formula for compound NPK 15-10-12 fertilizer can be used as a substitute for compound NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer.
优质有效的肥料支持稻田因地制宜的养分管理，可以提高产量和肥料效率。施肥配方应根据土壤养分状况和作物需要量而定。本研究旨在探讨复合氮磷钾肥料在低地水稻上的改型。该研究于2020年10月至2021年3月在茂物县的Cibungbulang进行。试验设计采用随机完全区组设计，共10个处理，3个重复。试验包括5个水平的氮磷钾15-10-12施肥，加对照处理、氮磷钾15-15-15和单一氮磷钾为标准，外加秸秆堆肥处理。地块尺寸为5米× 5米。结果表明，与单施氮磷钾和施用氮磷钾15-15-15相比，施用氮磷钾15-10-12对水稻株高、分蘖数、收获干粒重、干粉粒重和干秸秆重的影响具有统计学意义。氮磷钾15-10-12肥的最适用量为220 kg hm -1配以尿素225 kg hm -1。在相同剂量(300 kg hm -1)下，氮磷钾15-10-12肥(9.70 kg粒重1肥)的效率高于氮磷钾15-15-15肥(8.47 kg粒重1肥)。较低的施肥剂量表明效率较高。在相同剂量和单一氮磷钾下，NPK 15-10-12的RAE值比NPK 15-15-15高142%。本研究表明，复合氮磷钾15-10-12肥配方可替代复合氮磷钾15-15-15肥。

Many factors cause the issue of fertilizer subsidies. One of them is about the implemented system has not been running optimally. The Farmer Card is an innovation to obtain subsidized fertilizers. The innovation has many obstacles, including the lack of awareness and knowledge of farmers’ human resources (HR) in understanding the innovations’ usefulness. The study’s objective was to determine the factors influencing the acceptance of the Farmer Card based on the Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model (TRAM). Primary data were gained from the farmers by taking a simple random sampling method using the Hair formula for as many as 115 farmers using Farmer Card in Kabupaten Sumenep. The data were analyzed using the quantitative descriptive method through the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique. The study’s objective was to determine the effect of optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, insecurity, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use on behavioral intention to use in technology readiness with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). The test results show that the variables of optimism (H1 and H2), discomfort (H5), perceived usefulness (H9), and perceived ease of use (H10) have a significant effect on behavioral intention to use Farmer Card. Testing the effect of innovativeness (H3 and H4), discomfort (H6), and insecurity (H7 and H8) showed a p-value of 0.091; 0.259; 0.127; 0.853; 0.385 (> 0.05) means that it has no significance. For the Farmer Card program to be successful, it is recommended to enhance cooperation further and shared views among the farmers and stakeholders.

East Nusa Tenggara Province has land that tends to be dry, with several superior local fruit commodities such as oranges, mangoes, avocados, and jackfruit. One of the local fruit-producing centers in East Nusa Tenggara is North Central Timor (TTU) Regency. Most of the fruit needs in TTU Regency are supplied from West Miomaffo District, especially Saenam Village. Saenam Village produces 222 Kg of local fruit while Sallu Village is 345 Kg, but the sales volume value of Saenam Village is higher than Sallu Village with a difference of Rp. 1,000,000. Based on these conditions, this study focuses on the comparison of local fruit farming businesses in Saenam Village and Sallu Village. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the sales volume, relative market share level, and business position of local fruit commodities by applying BCG analysis. The results showed that the fruit business in Saenam Village had a total sales volume in 2018 of IDR 2,151,313, 2019 of IDR 1,915,296, and 2020 of IDR 2,175,685. Meanwhile, Sallu Village has a total sales in 2018 of Rp 1,009,821, 2019 Rp 899,584, and 2020 Rp 887,281. The market growth rate and relative market share are calculated based on the total sales volume. The results of the BCG analysis show that Saenam Village is in the star quadrant, with a market growth rate of 1.31% and a relative market share level of 2.57. Sallu Village has a market growth rate of -15.25% and a relative market share rate of 0.4. This value explains that the fruit products of Sallu Village are in the dog quadrant. The strategy that needs to be carried out by farmers in Saenam Village is to expand fruit marketing. The strategy that can be applied by farmers in Sallu Village is to replace fruit gardens with vegetable gardens in order to increase income and use land more optimally.

This study analyzed farmers’ income between members and non-members of agricultural cooperatives in Muhanga District, Rwanda. The research used a descriptive design based on quantitative approaches; 60 cooperative members and 60 non-cooperative members which were maize farmers selected randomly in the study, plus 6 local leaders and staff of Tuzamurane Cyeza Cooperative who were used as key informants. Data collection tools were questionnaires and interviews. The collected data were analyzed by income and the independent sample t-test analysis to measure farmers’ income between members and non-members of the cooperative. The findings showed that Tuzamurane Cyeza Cooperative provided services such: as easy access to credit, easy access to agricultural inputs, and acquisition of new technology and helped farmers to increase income from the cooperative. The results from the calculation indicated that the mean income of maize farmers who are members of the cooperative (Group 1), 366420 RWF is greater than the mean income of maize farmers who are non-members of the cooperative (Group 2), 137151RWF; (1RWF=14.04IDR). Further, the value of Sig. (0.047) which less than 0.05 was a good indicator that the variance in incomes of maize farmers who are members of the cooperative and non-members of the cooperative was significantly different. Our findings concluded that agricultural cooperatives’ membership contributed to expanding access to markets, and people need to unite themselves in cooperatives because they play a crucial role in reducing poverty, improving food security, and generating employment opportunities.

The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of shallot cultivation and to understand the financial feasibility analysis in Dolok Silau Simalungun to enhance the improvement of the technology needed. Methods used in this research are survey and observation methods. Based on the assessment results, it was found that shallot farming which is planted on dry land and small scale in Sarang Padang, Dolok Silau, Simalungun has a 0,05 – 0,1 ha area. The productivity of that farming is low which averaging 5,25 tonnes/ha. The total production cost is Rp 59.598.000 with a B/C ratio of 0,59. The capital of shallot production is Rp 10.743,00 per kg. Most of the shallot production cost is absorbed by labor cost (36 %), followed by seed cost (35%). The increment of revenue can be achieved by improving productivity through the improvement of farming technologies. Technology improvements in shallot cultivation that are needed are increasing plant density, seed quality improvement, replacement of labor weeding, and the use of integrated pest and disease control. To anticipate price fluctuations, farmers need a storage technology that is a group warehouse to keep the shallot when the market price is very cheap. Institutional education needs to be strengthened for the socialization of shallot cultivation technology and innovation for the farmers.
