The high availability of slurry from palm oil mill effluent, solid, and boiler ash with their nutrient contents make those three materials are potential to be processed become organic fertilizer in the form of pellet so it tends to has slow release characteristic. This research aims to analyize characteristic of organic fertilizer pellet from slurry of palm oil mill effluent as slow release fertilizer by analyzing its physical characteristics, NPK content, and NPK releasing rate in soil.Slurry was processed become solid fertilizer in the form of pellet using pellet mill with tapioca adhesive 5%. Pellet was made from slurry, solid, and boiler ash which were mixed with ratio 1:1:1, 1:2:2, 2:1:1, 2:2:1, 2:1:2, 1:0:0 (only slurry). This research ware analysis of physical characteristis (length, diameter, and density) and analysis of NPK content. N content was analyzed using Kjeldahl method, P content using spectrophotometer, and K content using Atomic Absorbtion Spectrophotometer (AAS). Then it was continued with analysis of NPK releasing content in latosol soil.The average length of pellets was 31–48 mm, diameter was 5,42 – 6,28 mm, water content was 0,426 – 0,976%, particle density was 1,04 – 1,34 g/cm3, and bulk density 0,49–0,63 g/cm3. Organic fertilizer pellet in six formulas contained N+P2O5+K2O about 5,93–8,08%. The highest content (8,08%) was produced from 1:0:0 pellet, followed by 2:1:2 formula (7,53%), and 1:2:2 formula (7,25%). Until the 10th days, the releasing of N element was about 1,99 – 3,18%, P element was 0,063– 0,075%, and K element was 43,54 – 62,26%.
Brown sugar is one of the palm derivative products that have high economic value and has very good prospects for development. Commerce is a trading activity that combines the flow of goods and services from the level of production to consumption. This study aims to determine the share margin received by each channel of the brown sugar commerce at Kulon Progo Regency. This research, which was conducted in May-July 2020, used a descriptive method. The method of determining the research location used the purposive sampling method. Determination of the number of informants is determined by the snowball method with a total of 60 informants. Methods of data analysis using cost analysis tools and marketing margins. The results showed that the marketing margin obtained at the farm level was Rp1.706/kg while the collectors were Rp4.375/kg. Product variations being developed are printed coconut sugar, wet neutral brown sugar, dry neutral brown sugar, and flavor variants.
The development of information technology is so rapid, of course it provides benefits to the community, one of which is the use of websites. Desa Kiran in using the website is still not optimal, as a result there is a lack of content published on the website. The existence of these problems assisting content creation and website management is important to be followed up in order to help Admin Staff and Volunteer Workers (TKS). The purpose of providing assistance is to assist Admin and TKS staff in creating content and managing websites. The method used is the application of science and technology in the form of assistance in content creation and website management. The implementation of mentoring is done through lectures, questions and answers, and direct practice. The result of this assistance is that the Admin and TKS staff can create content and manage the website well.
Climate change significantly impacts agricultural production, food security, and livelihoods of rural communities in Sukabumi District. This study examines the relationship between climate change, agricultural production, food security, and the livelihoods of rural communities in the Sukabumi District. The study used a qualitative approach, including household surveys, interviews with key informants, and focus group discussions, to gather in 20 villages. Studies have found that climate change has led to a decline in crop yields, which has led to food insecurity and decreased incomes and livelihood opportunities for rural communities. Studies have also found that rural communities have used various adaptation strategies to cope with the impacts of climate change. However, these strategies are not enough to fully address the challenges faced by rural communities. The study's findings highlight the need for effective adaptation strategies to help rural communities cope with the impacts of climate change. In addition, the study findings point to the need for more investment in climate change research and monitoring, especially at the local level, to better understand the impact of climate change on rural communities and to provide foundational information for evidence-based policymaking and decision-making. Studies have limitations, including limited sample size and reliance on self-reported data. Future research could use a longitudinal design and incorporate more objective measures of agricultural productivity and food security to understand better climate change's impact on rural communities in Sukabumi District.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
