Exploration carried out in the filosphere area (leaves) and rhizosphere area (roots) in upland rice plants to get the type of microbes that have potential that can be utilized as biological fertilizer sources, such as N2 fastening microbes, plant growth microbes or phosphate solvent microbial as well as those acting as natural enemies. The research was conducted by location survey method. Determination of location is done by purposive sampling, which is the location of upland rice cultivated by farmers in Kulawi District. The results showed that 10 isolates were isolated from epiphytic and endophytic microbes and endophytes. Morphological tests showed differences in color, shape, elevation, edge, texture and size and the coloring test showed that the bacteria had Coccus cell forms, Bacill, Diplococcus and Semi-Bacillus.

The relationship between several characters of yields is very important for developing effective selection criteria. The total correlation between the result character and the result component may be misleading as a result of its relationship with other characters. Separating the total correlation into direct and indirect effects provides a more significant explanation of the cause of the relationship between dependent variables such as yield and independent variables such as yield components. This study aims to determine several traits that can be used to make selections indirectly and directly to increase the yield of upland rice. This research has been carried out on agricultural land in the village of Tamarenja (Kalama), Sindue District, Donggala Regency. Starting from August to December 2019, using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven genotypic cultivars and three groups of cultivars so that there were twenty one experimental plots. The results showed that the number of leaves, leaf length, number of tillers, number of productive tillers, flowering age, thickness of seeds and weight of 1000 grains had a positive and significant correlation to yield. Flowering age, 1000 grain weight, and number of tillers are some of the characteristics that have a high direct effect and significant correlation to upland rice yield.

Potensi keanekaragaman tumbuhan liar yang bermanfaat sebagai obat-obatan masih banyak diabaikan oleh masyarakat. Permasalahan ini terjadi antara lain karena pengetahuan yang dimiliki masyarakat masih tergolong rendah. Program pengembangan desa mitra bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pertisipasi masyarakat dalam mendukung tercapainya pusat konservasi tumbuhan obat (TO) di Sulawesi Tengah. Metode yang diterapkan adalah community development atau pengembangan masyarakat dengan langkah-langkah operasional adalah pembentukan kebun konservasi dan klinik tumbuhan obat dengan sasaran mengusahakan sebanyak mungkin tumbuhan yang berpotensi sebagai tumbuhan obat tradisional sebagai sumber plasma nutfa agar tidak punah dan menjadi sumber informasi. Hasil pelaksanaan pelatihan teknik konservasi tumbuhan obat untuk mendukung progam penyediaan obat herbal di Sulawesi Tengah kepada masyarakat di Desa Pakuli Kecamatan Gumbasa berlangsung dengan baik dan dapat diadopsi oleh masyarakat yang diindikasikan dengan kegiatan penanaman tumbuhan obat oleh masyarakat di halaman pekarangan rumah masing-masing. Pelaksanaan penyuluhan yang diikuti sebanyak 35 orang peserta dari 2 kelompok mitra dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat yang ditandai dengan meningkatnya ketrampilan pada saat praktek budidaya tumbuhan obat, baik yang dilaksanakan di areal konservasi maupun di lahan pekarangan. Dengan konservasi tumbuhan obat terutama yang tergolong langka, maka masyarakat dapat mendekatkan diri dengan tumbuhan obat langka tersebut untuk kepentingan penyediaan obat herbal bagi anggota keluarganya
