Study of Assorted Fermentation Methods Conducted by Local Farmers on the Quality of VCocoa Beans (Theobroma Cacao L.). Various fermentation methods have been done by local farmers, however there has been no report on the quality of cocoa beans from those methods. This study aims were to identify various ways of cocoa beans fermentation conducted by local farmers; to compare between quality of fermented beans produced by local farmers and suggested quality of fermented beans; and o obtain a simple fermentation method which resulted in good quality beans and suitable practice for local farmers. The research wasconducted in Tabanan Regency, Province of Bali through field survey with observation and interview method, and supported with literature study. According to field observation and analysis of fermented cocoa beans taken from the local farmers, it can be concluded that most of local farmers did not fermented their kakao seeds. Thus, the fermentation done by utilizing a plastic sack, a bamboo basket or a wooden box lined and covered with banana leaves. The research also found that implementing similar fermentation methods to the seed did not always resulting similar quality of cocoa beans. Finally, the simplest method for local farmers to ferment the cocoa seed was the fermentation by utilizing basket lined and covered with banana leaves with at least 90kg wet beans.
Concept of Landscape Cropping Based on Balinese Gardening Characteristics in New Kuta Golf Landscape. The golf course consists of two areas: the game zone and the non-game zone (out of boundary) which are generally designed with beautiful landscapes as an attraction for golfers. Landscape of New Kuta Golf that located in Bali should represent the local wisdom of Balinese landscaping. Concept of landscape cropping based on Balinese gardening characteristics in New Kuta Golf landscape was raised as a research topic to identify landscape conditions and create a golf course design concept with Balinese garden characteristics. The research was used survey method with observation technique and literature study. Stages of this research was a reference in the design which includes the stage of inventory, analysis and synthesis, and conceptualization. The results showed that landscape conditions found on the golf course New Kuta Golf was applied concept to the concept of Catur Desa. Catur Desa produces four plant zones that is Wisnu Zone, Iswara Zone, Brahma Zone, and Mahadewa Zone. This concept is uses the point of compass to determine the colors of plants applied. The results of this study were expected to uplift and preserve the cultural heritage and philosophy of Balinese landscaping.
One of the efforts to increase soil productivity, fertilization efficiency and yield increase is the application of environmentally friendly fertilization technologies. The purpose of the study was to determine the the growth response and yield of mustard greens to the application of organic fertilizer, and which organic fertilizer gave the highest yield. This research was an experiment in the greenhouse of the Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University using polybags. The research method used a completely randomized design (CRD), with 3 treatments each with 3 levels, and repeated 4 times so that 36 treatments were obtained. The treatments given were vermicompost fertilizer (KS0 = no vermicompost, KS1 = 5 t/ha, KS2 = 10 t/ha); goat manure (KK0= without goat manure, KK1= 5 t/ha, KS2= 10 t/ha); and organic fertilizers sold on the market (K0 = without organic fertilizer application, K1 = 5 t/ha, K2 = 10 t/ha). Each polybag was filled with 2 plants so that the total plants were 72 plants. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the application of organic fertilizers (compost, vermicompost and goat manure) can increase growth and yield compared to no organic fertilizer application. The application of organic fertilizer 10 tons/ha, gave the highest yield, for a plant height of 35.00 cm; number of leaves 16.25 sheets, 79.29 g, fresh weight and 67.88 g dry weight (compost fertilizer), 34.98 cm, 21.75 sheets, 84.54 g, and 69.72 g (vermicompost fertilizer) , and 35.98 cm, 25.50 sheets, 72.83 g and 61.25 g (goat manure). It is recommended that the cultivation of mustard greens can be done by providing any type of organic fertilizer because it helps growth and yield.

Its illegal function which was a park area has the highest value (87%). This result also found there were three comfort variables which was low; circulation (50,9%), safety (59,7%), and thermal. Maintenance and management improvement, safety street furniture addition, and rearrangement of pedestrian paths in TIDR were recommended to improve the TIDR comfort.
Assessment of the Visual Quality and Sapta Pesona Aspect on Bali Zoo Landscape in Singapadu Traditional Village, Gianyar.
