Shallots productivity can be increased through improved cultivation by using high-quality varieties and organic fertilizers. The objective of the present study was to determine the growth and yields of shallots with the application of “Kompota”; the organic fertilizers enriched with microbes (Azospirillum sp, Azotobacter sp, and Aeromonas sp). The experiment was carried out from April to July 2020 in Panimbang Jaya village of Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province. The study used a randomized block design, consisting of 4 treatments and 8 replications. Treatment (P1): Urea 180 kg/ha+SP-36 100 kg/ha+NPK Phonska 500 kg/ha+KCl 60 kg/ha, (P2): chicken manure 5 ton/ha+Urea 180 kg/ha+SP-36 100 kg/ha+NPK Phonska 500 kg/ha+KCl 60 kg/ha, (P3): Petroganik 1 ton/ha+ Urea 180 kg/ha+SP-36 100 kg/ha+NPK Phonska 500 kg/ha+KCl 60 kg/ha, (P4): Kompota 1 ton/ha+ Urea 180 kg/ha+SP-36 100 kg/ha+NPK Phonska 500 kg/ha+KCl 60 kg/ha. The variety used was Bima. From the results, P4 gave the best plant growth with plant height 47.01 cm, the number of leaves 43.55 strands, the number of tubers 11.54 per clump, and gave the highest shallot yields (9.57 ton/ha). During the Covid-19 pandemic, with the average selling price of shallot bulbs of IDR 25,000/kg, farmers gained IDR 174.744.000/ha/season.
Banten Province on the 2019 year has to harvest area of corn was 66,356 ha with 331,865.38 tons production and the highest production in Pandeglang Regency. The purpose of this study was: 1) Knowing the pattern of corn farming in Banten Province, 2) Knowing the factors of production that affect corn production. 3) Knowing the cost factors that affect the cost of corn production. The analytical method used multiple linear analysis of the Cobb Douglas production and cost function. The results of the study were: 1) The planting pattern of corn was corn-corn - fallow. Dominant varieties were NK-212 (75.8%), Bima (12.1%) and BISI-18 (12.1%). Average productivity in RS 2018/2019 was 3.44 tons of dry shelled ha-1. The B/C ratio is 0.7, it’s mean financially not profitable.2) Factors that significantly affect corn production were: number of seeds, amount of manure, and number of tractors rent, and variety dummy. A cumulative elasticity value of 1.0 means corn farming was efficient. 3) Factors that significantly influence the cost of production were liquid herbicide prices and human labor costs. Increasing corn productivity still needs to be done with the use of proportional farming inputs.
Pasta cabai merupakan hasil olahan cabai yang memiliki prospek yang cukup menjanjikan. Masalah pemasaran erat kaitannya dengan masa simpan produk. Diperlukan adanya metode untuk menduga umur simpan dari pasta cabai yang akan dipasarkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan umur simpan pasta cabai dengan menggunakan metode Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT) dengan pendekatan Arrhenius. Penelitian menggunakan 5 perlakuan konsentrasi Natrium Benzoat, yaitu 0 g/kg bahan, 0.25 g/kg bahan, 0.5 g/kg bahan, 0.75 g/kg bahan dan 1 g/kg bahan. Penyimpanan dilakukan pada suhu 20 oC, 25 oC dan 40 oC. Pengamatan dilakukan pada hari ke 0, 4, 8, 12 dan 15. Parameter kritis yang digunakan yaitu nilai kesukaan dari panelis. Digunakan 10 orang panelis untuk menilai setiap sampel pasta cabai dengan skor 1 sampai 6 (1=tidak suka sekali, 2=tidak suka, 3=agak tidak suka, 4=agak suka, 5=suka, 6=suka sekali). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendugaan umur simpan pasta cabai pada sampel pasta cabai yang diberi penambahan natrium benzoat sebesar 0 g/kg bahan, 0.25 g/kg bahan, 0.5 g/kg bahan, 0.75 g/kg bahan dan 1 g/kg bahan yaitu secara berurutan sebesar 3.37 hari, 12.63 hari, 12.93 hari, 14.75 hari, dan 63.30 hari pada suhu 25 oC. Penggunaan natrium benzoat sebanyak 1 g/kg bahan merupakan dosis maksimal yang diizinkan sesuai Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan RI No. 722/MENKES/Per/IX/1988.
