Utilization of maggot as a substitute for protein source feed ingredients can be a solution to overcome the high cost of feed. However, the inappropriate growth media caused the growth of maggots to be inhibited. Palm kernel cake, vegetable and fruit waste have high nutritional content which has the potential as a medium for growing maggots. The purpose of this study was to determine the best growth of maggot on various growing media. The treatments given in this study were P0A = 100% palm kernel cake; P0B = 100% vegetable and fruit waste; P1 = palm kernel cake 75% + vegetable and fruit waste 25%; P2 = palm kernel cake 50% + vegetable and fruit waste 50%; P3 = palm kernel cake 25% + vegetable and fruit waste 75%. The results showed that the use of growing media from mixing 25% palm kernel cake + 75% vegetable and fruit waste (P3) gave better results as a growth medium for the effectiveness of the growth of maggot. This is due to the nutritional needs of maggots for its growth have been met from the nutritional content and organic matter available in optimum quantities in the growing media. It was concluded that the growing media from palm kernel cake with vegetable and fruit waste had effectiveness in increasing the growth of maggot.

Green leafhopper is one of the important pests found in eggplant cultivation, especially in the Solanaceae family. To control the attack of green leafhoppers, in general, farmers will spray pesticides. This activity is an activity that aims to determine the effectiveness of lemongrass leaf extract for controlling green leafhopper attacks on eggplant plants tested. This activity was carried out at the Experimental Field of the Horticultural Crop Cultivation Study Program, Rejang Lebong State Community Academy. This activity was carried out from February to March 2022. In its implementation, this activity used an experimental design with a single Completely Randomized Design where each treatment was P0 (without spraying lemongrass leaf extract), P1 (Spraying Lemongrass Leaf Extract with a Concentration of 100 ml/ L), and P2 (Spraying Lemongrass Leaf Extract with a Concentration of 250 ml/L). the results of observations made it was known that there was a decrease in the population of green leafhoppers on plants after spraying treatment with lemongrass leaf extract. Although the analysis did not show a significantly different effect.

Coffee as one of export commodities requires a good management strategy to maintain its continuity while also increasing both quality and quantity, for example by developing more efficient agricultural techniques. The purpose of this study was to reveal the knowledge of farmers in Taba Tebelet Village about a good smallholder coffee plantation management and give priority to coffee plantation management recommendations. A survey was required to collect primary and secondary data. Observation results and structured interviews were considered as primary data and secondary data were supporting data used for qualitative analysis. The technique used for data collection through survey was called snowball technique which was based on the random sample selection method. The focus of recommendations for good smallholder coffee plantation management in Kepahiang Regency was obtained through SWOT analysis, then to determine the priority of those management recommendations using QSPM (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix) analysis. The SWOT analysis has resulted 4 recommendations of management. They were (1) intensive and organic farming (TAS 1.36); (2) conducting training/counseling on organizational and plantation management (TAS 0.63); (3) legality of coffee quality (TAS 0.22); and (4) public-private partnership related to the procurement of production input for coffee plantations (TAS 0.46). The priority for a coffee plantation management strategy was determined based on the order of TAS value (Total Attractive Score), where the implementation of the highest score should be prioritized in overcoming deficiencies and threats that occur in coffee plantations
