Nutmeg oil from South Aceh is one of the main commodities in Indonesian essential oils trading. Specially, 70-80% Indonesian nutmeg oil trading origin is from South Aceh. On the other hand, a business risk of nutmeg oil is on collectors district, so these actors to be critical point in nutmeg oil production. The objectives of this research were to determine risk factors and to design risk mitigation in nutmeg oils supply chain on South Aceh. The technique used was Failure Mode and Effective Critically Analysis (FMECA). Data collecting according to expert's survey and background and qualification of experts were academicians, researcher, and practitioners. Academicians and researchers were PhD holders with 10 years experience in agriculture development, practitioners graduate minimally, practitioners were bachelor degree holders with 15 years experience. The result of the study showed that on farmers, the highest risks were on pest and disease attack and price fluctuation, meanwhile on agro-industry actors, the highest risks were on quality product fulfillment and price fluctuation. To arrange over supply, policy analysis was needed for the establishment of business units initiated by local governments.
This research aims to investigate the effects of phosphate and lime fertilizer on the growth and production of soybean plants in a former wetland. It was carried at the Experimental Field of the Agriculture Faculty, Samudra University Langsa, at a height of 3 meters above sea level (MASL) and a soil pH of 5.5. The results showed that phosphate fertilizer had a significant effect on plant height at the age of 30 DAP, the number of pods per polybag, the number of filled pods, the weight of dry seeds per polybag, and the weight of 100 dry seeds; however, it had no significant effect on plant height at the age 10 and 20 DAP, as well as on the number of productive branches. The most effective type of phosphate fertilizer found in this research was P3 (TSP). The most effective type of lime fertilizer found in this study was K2 (Dolomite). The combination of phosphate and lime fertilizer found to have a significant effect on the number of pods per polybag and the number of filled pods. The best combination of phosphate and lime fertilizer was P3K2 (TSP + Dolomite) giving the best results.
This research aimed to obtain the appropriate dosage of rice husk biochar and tofu dreg compost for the growth and yield of corn plants. It was also to find out the interaction between biochar rice husk and tofu dreg compost on the growth and yield of corn plants. The study was conducted at the BPTP Lampineung field, Banda Aceh, from April to July 2018. The analysis used in this study was a randomized complete block design (RBD) with a factorial pattern of 3 x 3 with 3 replications. The factors studied are; a. rice husk biochar consist of 3 levels b. Tofu waste compost factor consists of 3 levels. The parameters observed included plant height, flowering age, cob length, and cob weight. The results showed that the treatment of rice husk biochar had no significant effect on plant height 15, 30, 45 DAP, the cob diameter and weight, but had a significant effect on flowering age, and had a very significant effect on plant height of 60 DAP. The treatment of various tofu dregs compost doses significantly affected plant height at 60 DAP but did not significantly affect plant height at 15, 30, 45 DAP, flowering age and cob weight. There was a very significant interaction of providing rice husk biochar and tofu compost to the length of corn cobs.
The aim of these activities was to provide input/recommendations to policymakers about the issues and problems of agricultural development from the study of technology adoption on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice. The event was held from March - November 2015 in four districts namely Pidie, Aceh Utara, Aceh Barat, and Aceh Barat Daya. The activities implemented through field studies with respondents are farmers who received the SLICM program (purposive sampling). Each district was selected one district and each district will be selected two villages. In-depth interview respondents as much as 10-20 farmers per village. Respondents were selected randomly from members of rice SLICM. Data collected consists of primary data and secondary data and processed by descriptive analysis. The results showed that the level of technology adoption on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice in Pidie, Aceh Utara, Aceh Barat, and Aceh Barat Daya districts is not influenced by the characteristics of the respondent, such as; age, education, and experience of farmers in cropping rice. Technology adoption on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice is still limited to the use of the technology components of new varieties and seed labeled. The various components of the basic technology and the integrated crop management selection of paddy rice, which have not adopted by respondents include intermittent irrigation, organic fertilizer utilization, weeding with grok. While legowo cropping system is still limited. The adoption rate on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice is influenced by several factors, among others: the implemented technology is easy, uncomplicated. The technology is also cheap but in accordance with the conditions of society and new technologies can provide more benefit to them (increased yield).
Determining on rubber marketing institutional options is influenced by the characteristics of the institutional and socio-economic of farmers. This study aimed to examine the role of the characteristics of rubber farmers in the establishment of marketing institutional options. The research was conducted by survey method. The research has been taken in two districts of West Aceh and East Aceh. The numbers of respondents were 360 farmers. Data collection was taken by observation and structured interviews to a number of "key informants" and performed Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in strengthening and completing the information required. The results show the magnitude of institutional partnership opportunities for farmers to choose the traditional institutional was significantly influenced by the negative direction by the experience of farmers in rubber farming, farmers formal education, number of family member, and number of tapped rubber trees; and significantly and positively influenced by non-formal education and total family income. Total family income has an elastic response.Keywords: Marketing Institutional, farmer Characteristics, rubber
