Application Of Eco-Enzyme As An Explant Sterilization Material In Garlic Meristem Culture (Allium sativum L.)
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important commodity with various benefits, both as food and medicine. One of the biggest challenges is the spread of diseases in garlic plants, which are often transmitted through bulbs or seeds used in planting. The initiation stage is the initial step of in vitro culture to obtain explants that are free of microbes and start early growth. Materials commonly used for sterilization of garlic explants are detergent, alcohol, and Clorox. Eco-enzyme is a result of the fermentation of fresh fruit waste containing bioactive compounds, such as organic acids and enzymes, which have the potential to be used as natural sterilization materials. The purpose of this study was to make eco-enzyme as a sterilization material for explants from fruit skin waste and to obtain the right explant sterilization method in in vitro culture propagation using eco-enzyme. A total of five sterilization methods have been tested in the Tissue Culture Laboratory of the Payakumbuh State Agricultural Polytechnic. The sterilization materials used were 70% alcohol, 10% Clorox, and eco-enzyme solution. The variables observed in this study were the percentage of contaminant types (fungi and bacteria), the time of contamination, and the percentage of living explants after 28 days of culture. The results showed that eco-enzyme A with a concentration of 100% has the ability as a surface sterilization material in garlic meristem culture, which produces a percentage of living explants of 100%.

The Effect of Trichocompost Application Based on Sago Pulp Against the Growth of Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.)
This research aims to investigate the response of various types of vegetable plants, namely cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), to the application of trichocompost made from sago pulp. The use of this organic fertilizer is raised as a solution to address modern agricultural challenges such as soil fertility degradation and dependence on chemical fertilizers. Sago pulp, as an abundant agro-industrial waste, is processed into trichocompost using the antagonistic fungus Trichoderma sp., which not only functions as a decomposer but also as a biological control agent against soil-borne diseases. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the application of Sago Tricocompost has varying effects depending on the type of plant. In cucumber plants, the application of tricocompost, particularly at the highest dosage (P3), consistently shows a very significant effect on vegetative growth (plant height) and harvest yield (fruit weight and production per hectare). This indicates that sago waste tricocompost is very effective as an organic fertilizer to enhance cucumber productivity, likely due to its nutrient content and the microbial activity of Trichoderma that supports growth.

Skenario Pola Penggunaan Lahan Sawit Berbasis Neraca Air Di Desa Buntu Babang Kecamatan Bajo
This study aims to analyze the condition of water availability in oil palm areas and assess the potential for its use for more environmentally friendly alternative crops using a water balance-based approach. The research location is in Buntu Babang Village, Bajo District, with primary data consisting of rainfall and climate data from BMKG during the period of 2014–2024. Effective rainfall analysis is conducted using Cropwat 8.0 application, while water availability calculations use the Thornthwaite & Mather water balance method. The research findings indicate that the average annual rainfall is quite high, but its distribution is uneven. The water surplus occurs from November to April, while the period of water deficit occurs from August to September. The water requirement for mature oil palm plants is an average of 82.5 mm/month. The comparison between the availability of water after the needs of oil palm are met and the water needs of alternative crops shows that the potential for intercropping corn and peanuts is limited to the months with water surplus. Corn plants have a higher chance of being developed during the seedling to vegetative phases in the wet period, while peanuts are more suitable during the seedling and flowering phases in the months with adequate water availability.

Analysis of Family Food Consumption Behavior (Case Study: Beneficiaries of Government Food Reserve Rice in Palopo City)
Study analyzes the behavior of food consumption patterns of families benefiting from the Government Food Reserve Rice (CPP) in Palopo City with a quantitative descriptive approach. Primary data was obtained through a multiple-pass 24-hour food recall survey of 115 beneficiary families spread across three agroecological characteristics: agriculture, fisheries, and others. Food consumption was analyzed based on nine food groups according to the Expected Food Pattern (PPH), concerning the national Nutritional Adequacy Rate (AKG). The results showed that grains, especially milled rice, became the dominant source of food and energy throughout the region, contributing an average of 1644.5 kcal/capita/day, or about two-thirds of total daily energy. Consumption of animal food, especially fish, is relatively high in agricultural and fishery areas, but its contribution to protein fulfillment is not optimal. Consumption of vegetables is considerable in volume but low in energy contribution and does not yet meet the WHO recommendations of ≥400 g/day. The average Energy Adequacy Level (TKE) is 78.3% of AKE, below the Minimum Service Standard of 90%, indicating food insecurity. Analysis between regions shows that agricultural areas have the highest energy intake, while other regions have the lowest. These results indicate a gap in food access, high dependence on a single carbohydrate source, and low food diversification. This study recommends interventions in the form of increasing access to and consumption of animal and vegetable proteins, diversifying carbohydrate sources, and nutrition education based on local wisdom to support sustainable food security among CPP beneficiaries.

Kajian Falsafah Ilmu Ontologis, Epistemologis, dan Axiologis Dalam Konteks Keberlanjutan: Pemanfaatan Gulma Air dan Limbah Pertanian Menjadi Aktor Teknis Dalam Sistem Transportasi Buah
Pengemasan dan transportasi buah segar menghadapi tantangan ganda: tingginya kerugian pascapanen (40-50%) dan dampak lingkungan dari kemasan plastik konvensional. Kajian literatur ini mengeksplorasi solusi inovatif dengan menganalisis pemanfaatan gulma air (seperti eceng gondok) dan limbah pertanian (seperti kulit pisang dan ampas tebu) sebagai bahan baku kemasan berkelanjutan melalui pendekatan filsafat ilmu. Secara ontologis, hakikat limbah diubah dari bahan tak berguna menjadi sumber daya bernilai yang kaya biopolimer seperti selulosa dan pektin. Validasi epistemologis dilakukan melalui metode empiris, termasuk sintesis material (misalnya, hidrogel dari eceng gondok), pengujian kinerja mekanis, dan Analisis Siklus Hidup (LCA). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa material berbasis limbah ini menawarkan kinerja perlindungan yang kompetitif—terbukti mampu mengurangi kehilangan berat, mempertahankan kekerasan, dan meningkatkan retensi warna pada buah selama transportasi. Keunggulan utamanya terletak pada sifat biodegradable, yang dikonfirmasi melalui pengujian penguburan tanah dimana material mengalami pengurangan massa signifikan. Secara aksiologis, inovasi ini memberikan nilai keberlanjutan yang luas. Dengan mendukung ekonomi sirkular, mengurangi polusi plastik, dan meminimalkan kerugian pascapanen, pendekatan ini sejalan dengan Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDG) 12. Disimpulkan bahwa pemanfaatan limbah untuk kemasan buah tidak hanya layak secara teknis, tetapi juga memiliki landasan filosofis yang kuat untuk menciptakan sistem transportasi buah yang lebih berkelanjutan dan bertanggung jawab secara lingkungan.

Shallots are a highly sought-after vegetable commodity in Indonesia, particularly for household consumption as a flavoring agent. Analysis of income and feasibility of shallot farming in Banjaratma Village, Bulakamba District, Brebes Regency has never been studied. This study was conducted to determine the income analysis and feasibility of shallot farming conducted by farmers who are members of the "Bahagia Makmur" Farmers Group (Gapoktan) in Banjaratma Village, Bulakamba District, Brebes Regency. The location of Banjaratma Village was chosen purposively as the research location because farmers in the village consistently grow shallots throughout the year. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study type. The data used are primary and secondary data. The shallot farming carried out by farmers is professional by applying shallot leaf compost as an additional organic material in the soil so that soil fertility in the area can be maintained. The income of shallot farmers also increased with the method of applying shallot leaf compost much better than using conventional methods that farmers usually do with an increase in income of 33.27%.

Karakterisasi dan Optimasi Kualitas Gula Semut Berdasarkan Variasi pH Nira Kelapa
The quality of palm sugar is greatly influenced by the characteristics of the coconut sap raw material, especially the acidity level (pH), which plays an important role in the crystallization process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the chemical characteristics (reducing sugar content, moisture content, ash content), organoleptic characteristics and panelists' preference levels (color, aroma, taste), and to determine the optimal pH of coconut sap that produces the best palm sugar quality according to quality standards. The research method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments of sap acidity levels (pH), namely pH 5, pH 6, pH 7, and pH 8. Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The observed parameters included moisture content, ash content, reducing sugar content, as well as an organoleptic test of panelists' preference for the color, aroma, and taste of the resulting palm sugar. The obtained data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and if there were differences among treatments, they were further tested with a 5% LSD test. The study results showed that the resulting palm sugar had: reducing sugar content (3.21-6.17%), moisture content (2.27-3.85%), ash content (7.76-21.53%), and the preference test results for color (slightly like-very like), aroma (slightly like-very like), and taste (slightly like-like). It is concluded that the sap acidity level (pH) significantly affects the moisture and ash content of palm sugar, but does not significantly affect the reducing sugar content. The best brown sugar was obtained at pH 8 treatment, which resulted in a lighter color, smooth texture, low moisture content (2.27%), ash content (15.31%), and reducing sugar content (3.21%).

Pola Pertumbuhan Pendederan Ikan Nila (Oreochromis Niloticus) Pada Keramba Jaring Tancap Kolam Tanah Di Rengasdengklok, Karawang, Jawa Barat
This study was conducted to understand the growth pattern of tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus) when cultivated in earthen ponds with a fixed net cage system. The location of the practice is at PT. Suri Tani Pemuka Rengasdengklok, Karawang, West Java. The main focus of this activity is to see the relationship between the length and weight of fish during the maintenance period, as well as to assess the comparison of the growth of length and weight of fish for each sampling and the survival rate (SR) of fish. From the results of the observation, it is known that the b value in the analysis of length and weight is 0.72220, which indicates that growth is negative allometric - meaning that fish grow faster in length than in weight. In addition, the survival rate of fish reached 76.4%, which is quite high and indicates that the maintenance conditions are running quite well. Fixed net cages (KJT) are a fish maintenance method that has several advantages, namely it can avoid water predators and is able to limit the circulation of fish so that it facilitates harvesting, but the growth rate is still influenced by other factors including water quality and feed. With this method, fish can grow more safely and optimally. It is hoped that the results of this practice can be an illustration and reference for other cultivators who want to apply similar methods.

Analysis of the Carrying Capacity of Rice Commodity Agricultural Land Management in North Kolaka Regency
Agriculture is the main sector that supports the rural economy in North Kolaka Regency, with rice as a staple food commodity for the community. However, population growth, climate change, and the conversion of rice fields are serious challenges to the availability of local rice food. This study aims to analyze the availability of rice food, the need for rice fields, and the carrying capacity status of agricultural land in North Kolaka Regency, as well as projecting the needs of the next five years. The research method uses a descriptive quantitative approach with secondary data from BPS, Bappeda, and the Food Crops and Horticulture Service, as well as primary observations for field verification. The analysis included the calculation of rice food availability based on land productivity, food needs based on per capita consumption, and the Land Carrying Capacity Index (IDDL) with the Odum, Howard, and Issard formula. The results of the study showed that the average availability of rice food reached ±7,000 tons/year, with an uneven distribution between sub-districts. Some areas such as Ranteangin and Batu Putih are in surplus conditions, while other sub-districts tend to have deficits or do not have significant production. The IDDL shows a downward trend due to a reduction in harvest area of about 2.1% in the last five years, while food needs increase as the population grows. Projections over the next five years show that the risk of deficit is even greater if there is no policy intervention. These findings confirm the need for strategies to strengthen regional food security through agricultural intensification (increasing planting index, superior seeds, irrigation efficiency), sustainable rice field protection (LP2B), and diversifying local food. The results of the research are expected to be a reference for local governments in spatial planning, land conversion control, and sustainable food security policy formulation.

Analisis Kebutuhan Petani Terhadap Mesin Tanam Padi Dalam Mendukung Asta Cita Swasembada Pangan di Indonesia
The government has launched Asta Cita, one of its objectives being to strengthen the country's defense and security system and promote national independence through self-sufficiency in food, energy, and water, as well as in the creative, green, and blue economies. This Asta Cita program is very realistic, because the Indonesian people have extensive rice paddies planted. However, many young people now refuse to become farmers because it requires a lot of labor and is not profitable. Most rice cultivation carried out by farmers in Indonesia employs traditional planting methods that require a relatively large labor force, accounting for 25-30% of the total rice production workforce, thereby affecting national rice production. The availability of rice planting machines is not yet a solution, because the price of the machine is expensive and the seeds are too short, namely 10-15 cm in length, so that during planting, water must be removed until the planted seeds are around 20 cm tall. This causes grass to grow abundantly, because the rice seeds are not optimally irrigated. Therefore, research on the development of rice planting machines is urgently needed to support the Asta Cita food self-sufficiency in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to design a rice planting machine according to the needs of farmers and land topography. This study uses the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method because this method is very suitable for use in developing products that are in accordance with consumer expectations and desires. The results of this study indicate that farmers need rice planting machines that are affordable, fast, easy to maintain, lightweight, readily available for spare parts, reliable in all types of soil, ergonomic, 15 cm long, non-slip. Therefore, the development of rice planting machines is crucial to assist farmers in the rice planting process and support food self-sufficiency.

The Influence of Socio-Economic Conditions on Family Food Consumption (Study: Fishermen's Households of Beneficiary Families (KPM) in East Wara District, Palopo City)
Family food security is a strategic issue, especially for fishing families who receive government food assistance (KPM). Socio-economic conditions such as gender, age, education, income, and access to food greatly determine food consumption patterns and diversification. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a total sampling of 52 fishing families who received KPM in East Wara District, Palopo City. Primary data were obtained through surveys and interviews using questionnaires that included demographics, consumption patterns, income, and spending. The analysis was carried out descriptively by relating socio-economic factors to food consumption. The results showed that the majority of respondents were women (96%) with a dominant age over 41 years old (68%). The level of education is relatively low, where 37% have a junior high school education and 35% high school, with no college graduates. Food consumption patterns still rely heavily on marine fish as the main source of protein. However, food diversification is still limited due to low purchasing power and limited nutritional knowledge. Rice assistance from the government's food reserves has been proven to ease the burden of household expenditure on carbohydrate sources, thus potentially opening up space for budget allocation to other foods. Conclusion: These findings confirm that socio-economic and demographic factors greatly affect the consumption patterns of fishing families. Low education and purchasing power are the main obstacles to food diversification, while the dominance of women's roles provides opportunities for more effective nutrition interventions.

Interaksi Dosis dan Intensitas Urea Daun pada Serapan N serta Hasil Padi Rawa
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop that serves as the primary source of carbohydrates for the majority of the Indonesian population. Swamp lands have distinctive characteristics due to prolonged water saturation, often leading to nitrogen losses through denitrification, volatilization, and leaching processes. This study aims to determine the extent to which variations in the dosage and intensity of foliar urea fertilizer application can affect nitrogen distribution in plant tissues (roots, stems, and leaves) and how it influences the grain weight per plot. The study used a completely randomized block design (CRBD) with 3 replications. The first factor was the concentration of urea solution, consisting of 4 levels: 3% (D1), 6% (D2), 9% (D3), and 12% (D4). The second factor was the intensity of urea fertilizer application, consisting of 3 levels: once (I1) (2 weeks after planting), twice (I2) (2 and 4 weeks after planting), and three times (I3) (2, 4, and 6 weeks after planting). The application of urea fertilizer on leaves with variations in dose and intensity significantly affects nitrogen uptake and rice grain yield. Increasing the dose up to 12% and applying it up to three times enhances nitrogen uptake and grain yield. A dose of 9% with three applications produces the highest nitrogen uptake, while a 12% dose results in the highest grain weight without a significant difference between one and three applications

Analisis Faktor yang Memengaruhi Peningkatan Pendapatan Usaha Petani Bawang Merah di Kabupaten Kolaka Utara
This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the income of shallot farming in North Kolaka Regency. The independent variables studied included farmer experience (LN_X1), amount of fertilizer (LN_X2), land area (LN_X3), and labor (LN_X4), while dependent variables were shallot farming income (LN_Y). Cobb-Douglas production function methods and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data with the help of SPSS 27. The results of the analysis showed that the four independent variables had a significant influence on farming's income simultaneously, with an F value of 658.017 and a significance of 0.000. The land area variable had the greatest partial influence, with a coefficient of 1.385 and a significance of 0.000, while the variables of labor and fertilizer had a positive influence, with significance of 0.014 and 0.038, respectively. However, the farmer's experience did not affect income (significance 0.374). A coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.989 indicates that the model can explain 98.9% of income variations. Other factors outside the model affect the rest of the variation. The results show that increasing the income of shallot farmers can be achieved through the efficient use of input, as well as the strategic role of land access and labor.
