Central Java was the largest shallot producing province in Indonesia with the Boyolali Regency as one of the main producers. Selo sub-district was the main contributor to organic shallot production in Boyolali Regency. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of farmers who cultivate organic shallots and to determine the production factors that affect the yield of shallots in the Argoayuningtani Farmer Group. The data used in this research are primary data and secondary data. Sampling was done by using the census method and the data analysis method used was multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the respondent farmers were generally young people and had a good enough education to develop organic agriculture. Production factors in the form of labor and biological pesticides have a significant effect on the yield of shallots. Variables of seeds, manure, and the land area had no significant effect on onion production. Further guidance needs to be carried out and developed because generally, farmers who work and join farmer groups are young and educated farmers, making it easier to develop organic agriculture in Boyolali Regency. Training is needed to make organic fertilizers and biological pesticides with active microbial ingredients that have been tested to increase shallot production.
The success of agricultural enterprises is closely related to various factors, including climate change that cannot be controlled by humans. Climate greatly affects the risk of horticultural production, one of which is shallot. The purpose of this study was to determine the income, profits of farmers, and the feasibility of cultivating shallot plants in the highlands of Selo, Boyolali. This research was conducted in Senden Village, Selo District, Boyolali Regency. The basic method used in this research is descriptive. Methods of data collection using questionnaires and observations. The results of the research showed that the total cost was Rp. 7,754,932.53, the revenue is Rp. 14,566,666.67, and the income is Rp. 8,064,783.3. The result showed that the shifting of seeds during the high intensity of rainfall in Selo District, Boyolali Regency was feasible to be developed. The findings also showed that there are simple ways of shallot cultivation to respond to climate change. Most costs are spent on buying shallot seeds. To reduce the cost of production facilities, farmers are expected to be able to make their shallot seeds so that profits can be maximized.
Organic farming is increasingly being applied to several agricultural commodities, one of which is rice as a rice-producing commodity and as a staple crop of most of Indonesia's population. In addition, the benefits of organic rice for the environment do not damage the environment, do not pollute the environment with synthetic chemicals and increase natural environmental productivity, as well as creating a balanced and sustainable ecosystem. The location of this research was conducted in the Pangudi Bogo farmer group in Dlingo Village, Mojosongo District, Boyolali District. The Pango Bogo group has received certification from the organic seloliman certification body (LESOS) and has consistently met the requirements of the SNI SOP GAP guidelines and the Internal Control System Document (ICS). This research uses descriptive analysis to illustrate the application of organic rice farming SOP-GAP. The influence of internal and external factors on the decision, the application of SOP-GAP and the handling of crop yields was tested using spermant rank correlation analysis. Based on the results of this study. SOP-GAP is a way to cultivate organic rice, which is to plant rice without using chemicals as a supplement or to repel pests and weeds. This SOP_GAP covers the types of maintenance, fertilization, irrigation and pest control activities. Maintenance is generally carried out by farmers by following organic farming instructions. Organic products and one of them is organic rice is a product that is currently of concern to consumers, especially consumers with upper middle economic level. This is because organic products are products that do not contain chemicals which have recently been the subject of discussion that chemicals in food ingredients cause various diseases. For those who have a sufficient economic level, then their attention is focused on health which is currently very expensive. That's why they turned to organic food products.
Heavy metals contaminants in land agriculture are environmental problems and to reduce the food safety, so that too needed for the research of Pb, Cd and Cu decrease absorption by plants using organic chelating agent i.e. substance of humus (humic and fulvic acid) in there manure. The research was done with completely block design, in Gagaksipat, Ngemplak, Boyolali; heavy metal analysis in manure, land and seeds use atomic absorption spectrophotometer-flame (AAS Jena Contr AA 300 German). It was aimed to identify contaminants of Pb, Cd, and Cu in sweet corn and soybean seeds. The research treatment were doses of cow manure: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 kg per hectare. The results showed that's enrichment coefficient (EC) Pb and Cu in sweet corn seeds had low accumulator plants categories, whereas the EC plumbum soybean seeds had low accumulator plants categories, whereas the EC copper soybean seeds had moderately accumulator plants categories, and EC cadmium in the sweet corn and soybeans seeds were undetectable. Exposure of Pb and Cd in corn sweet and soybean seeds were undetectable, while of Cu in sweet corn and soybean seeds 2.03 and 12.39 ppm respectively. Contaminant of Pb, Cd and Cu exposure in land sweet corn post-harvested were 30.99; undetectable and 60.58 ppm respectively. While Pb, Cd and Cu exposure in land soybean post harvested were 33.24; undetectable and 56.26 ppm respectively.
Onion farmers in Tawangmangu are currently experiencing difficulties due to changes in rainfall. As a result, they are planting garlic and then intercropping with shallots. This decision will have a direct impact on farmers' income. This study aims to determine the effect of farmers' decisions in intercropping garlic with shallots on farmers' income in the Tawangmangu District. This research was conducted in Tawangmangu District with a simple random sampling method to determine the sample size of 49 respondents. The method of data analysis used a two-stage least square. The decision to intercrop shallot and garlic does not affect farmers' income. The age of the farmer influences the decision to do intercropping. A farmer's income is influenced by land area and the use of Phonska fertilizer. To increase farmers' income, using fertilizers with similar elements must be paid more attention to when fertilizing plants.
