Gumantar Village, Kayangan District in North Lombok Regency, has a reasonably large area of ​​dry sandy land. This dryland has the potential to be developed as a cayenne pepper-producing area in the off-season (rainy season) because the possibility of waterlogging is very low. However, very few farmers grow cayenne pepper outside of the season in Gumantar Village, and the failure rate due to pests and diseases is very high. This extension aimed to motivate farmers to grow cayenne pepper out of season by providing knowledge on cultivation procedures and techniques for managing plant pests and diseases. The method used was by meeting, discussion, and plot demonstration. Evaluation activities were carried out using two methods, namely ex-ante and summative. Overall, it can be said that the extension activities had a positive impact on the participants, as indicated by the high motivation of farmers to grow cayenne pepper out of season. Participants' satisfaction with the presented materials, along with the visualization results of the demonstration plot, were the main keys to the success of the extension.

This study aimedseedling derived from stem cutting to determine the effect of various media on the growth of drum stick (Moringa oleifera Lam.). Experiment was conducted from March to May 2017 in the nursery located in Dasan Agung, Mataram, with altitude of 16 meters above sea level. The method was experimental method with 6 media treatments: soil, soil+sawdust, soil+cocopeat, soil+corncob, soil+bamboo leaf, and soil+charcoal rice husk. The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design with 5 replications and 5 unit series. The result shows that the media significantly effect on the growth ofsedling stem cutting. The best media forseedling derived from stem cutting were mixture media of soil+ricecharcoal andsoil+cocopeat

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh berbagai dosis pupuk kascing terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil sawi pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) di polibag. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Oktober 2021 sampai Desember 2021 di Desa Padamara, Lombok Timur. Dalam penelitian ini terdapat 5 perlakuan, yaitu 0, 50, 75, 100 dan 125 gr/tanaman. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok dengan 5 ulangan dan pada masing-masing ulangan dibuat 5 unit serial, sehingga diperoleh 125 unit percobaan. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis varian (ANOVA) pada level 5%, dan dilanjutkan dengan uji jarak berganda Duncan (DMRT) pada level 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh pemberian pupuk kascing terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil sawi pakcoy. Pemberian pupuk kascing dengan dosis 125 gr/tanaman memberikan hasil terbaik pada semua parameter (tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, lebar daun, bobot basah tanaman dan bobot kering tanaman).

ABSTRAKBuah kelor (Moringas oleifera L.) yang secara fisik berukuran panjang dan memiliki banyak biji di dalamnya tentu akan menyebabkan perbedaan tingkat kematangan biji dan kemudian perbedaan pada viabilitas benih yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ekperimental ini terdiri atas dua percobaan, yaitu percobaan pertama bertujuan mengetahui viabilitas biji dari tiga posisi biji dalam buah dan percobaan kedua bertujuan mengetahui pertumbuhan bibit tanaman kelor hingga umur dua bulan dari masingmasing posisi biji pada buah tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa posisi biji dalam buah kelor berpengaruh nyata terhadap viabilitas benih, namun berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap pertumbuhan bibit hingga umur dua bulan. Biji-biji pada posisi di pangkal dan tengah dari buah memiliki viabilitas lebih baik dibandingkan biji-biji pada posisi di ujung buah. Kata kunci: berat biji, pemasakan, perkecambahan, posisi biji ABSTRACT Fruits of Moringas oleifera L. is physically long and has many seeds in would certainly cause differences in seed maturity level and then difference in seed viability. This experimental research consisted of two experiments, the first experiment was aimed to find out the seed viability of the three seed positions in the fruits and the second experiment was aimed to determine the growth of the Moringa seedlings up to two months age from each seed position. The results shows that the seed position was significantly affected the viability of the seeds, but were not affected to the growth of seedlings until the age of two months. The seeds in position at the base and the middle of the fruit have better viability than the seeds in position at the end of the fruit.

The ddevelopment of an efficient technique for vegetative propagation would be a benefit for the nursery industry for the production of some clones with desirable characters. This study was conducted to develop a vegetative propagation protocol of Moringa oleifera using some different sizes of cutting started from April to July 2017. The factorial experiment was used, in which the first factor was stem cutting length (25cm, 50 cm, and 75 cm), and the second one was stem cutting diameter (3.0-4.0 cm, 4.1-5.0 cm, and 5.1-6.0 cm). This experiment was designed using Completely Randomized Design with five replications, and each replication contained10 seedlings. The results show that the seedling growth was affected by stem cut diameter and length alone during three months nursery period. To produce more valuable seedlings, the vegetative propagation using stem cutting ranging should use 50-75 cm in length and/or 3.0-6.0 cm in diameter.
