Tujuan dari penelitian yaitu untuk mengetahui tingkat pendapatan dan tingkat kelayakan usahatani padi sawah di Desa Tatakalai Kecamatan Tinangkung Utara Kabupaten Banggai Kepulauan. Adapun metode tingkat keberhasilan usahatani dilihat dari ukuran perbandingan antara penerimaan (Retum) dan biaya (cost), menggunakan Retum Cost Ratio (R/C). Hasil Analisis Total Produksi yang di peroleh petani responden sebesar 77.650 Kg/35 ha/musim tanam  atau rata – rata sebesar 2.588,33 Kg/1,16 ha/musim tanam . Tingkat harga yang diterima sebesar Rp 10.000/ Kg, sehingga penerimaan yang diterima petani responden sebesar Rp 25.883.333,33/ 1,16 ha/ musim tanam.  Total biaya yang dikeluarkan petani responden padi sawah di Desa Tatakalai sebesar 4.708.152,76 sehingga pendapatan yang diterima oleh petani responden pada usahatani padi sawah rata-rata sebesar Rp 21.175.180,56/1,16 ha/ musim tanam sehingga di peroleh Nilai R/C Ratio 5,49 menggambarkan bahwa setiap 1 rupiah pengeluaran dalam usahatani padi sawah tersebut akan menghasilkan 5,49 satuan penerimaan.  Hal ini menunjukkan hasil perhitungan R/C ratio > 1 yang di peroleh usahatani Padi Sawah maka dapat memungkinkan untuk dilakukan usahatani dan pengembangan padi sawah di Desa Tatakalai

Soil physical and chemical properties are the main factors that significantlyinfluence vanilla production. This study aimed to identify the soil’s physicaland chemical properties, determine the soil fertility status, and evaluate the soilsuitability for vanilla plants cultivated at three villages in Tinangkung UtaraDistrict. This research has been carried out at the long-term monoculture of thevanilla plantation. The soil fertility properties have determined based onphysical properties such as texture (pipete method) and chemical propertiessuch as pH, organic C content (Walkey and Black), P2O5 (olsen) and K2O(HCL25%), base saturation/KB dan cation exchange capacity/CEC ) NH4OAcpH7). The data then matched to PPT soil fertility and BBSDLP land evaluationcriteria for the vanilla plant. The result showed that the soil in the study sitehas clayey texture, neutral soil reaction, moderate KB and P2O5, and moderateto high CEC. On the other hand, the soil exhibited lower content of organic Cand K2O. Despite soil fertility status determined as low, the evaluation analysisresulted marginally suitable, which could be optimised to highly suitable.

The good quality patchouli plants, it takes patchouli cuttings that have good initial vegetative growth. The initial vegetative growth in plants is an important phase that supports the further growth of patchouli until the productive phase. To produce patchouli plants with good initial vegetative growth, fertilization is necessary to ensure the availability of nutrients needed in the metabolic process of patchouli plants. Patchouli plants require adequate amounts of nutrients, especially macro nutrients such as nitrogen and others which can be done by administering NPK with the right dose and frequency of administration. The results showed that (1) the treatment of patchouli cuttings (treatment B) had a very significant effect on the growth of patchouli at week 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 WAP. Meanwhile, the concentration of liquid NPK fertilizer (treatment A) had a very significant effect only at the age of 10 and 12 WAP for the number of leaves. (2) The treatment of the number of patchouli cuttings (treatment B) had a significant effect on the growth of patchouli at week 4 WAP, had a very significant effect at week 2,6,8 and 12 WAP. As for the treatment, the concentration of liquid NPK fertilizer (treatment A) had a significant effect on week 8 MST and had a very significant effect at week 10 and 12 MST for the number of shoots (3) There was an interaction between the two treatments, namely at the age of 10 and 12 MST while on the number of shoots only occurred at the age of 12 MST

This study aimed to determine the carrying capacity of land and production factors in the development of cocoa production in the Banggai Regency of Central Sulawesi. This research was conducted in 23 sub-districts of the Banggai Regency. Determination of respondents using cluster sampling method or grouping based on area or population location with 114 cocoa farmers. The research data were obtained from primary data, i.e., interviews, questionnaires. In contrast, secondary data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency, the Banggai Regency Agriculture Office, and the Center for Research and Development on Agricultural Land Resources. The variables analyzed include regional economics (used LQ and SSA), land carrying capacity (DDL), and the production factors were land area (X1), number of workers (X2), fertilizer costs (X3), and pesticide costs (X4). Thus, this study indicated the direction of land allocation based on the regional economy, land carrying capacity, and cocoa production factors. Overall, cocoa plants could be developed in the Banggai Regency with an area of 419,236.9 hectares. However, there was a need for sound land use data management and intensive cocoa cultivation assistance to increase comparative and competitive human resources and improve the economy for the welfare of the cocoa farming community in the Banggai Regency.

Jambu mete merupakan kualitas unggulan di Desa Malik Makmur. Sebagian besar usahatani jambu mete adalah perkebunan rakyat. Total luas areal perkebunan jambu mete di Desa Malik Makmur pada bulan Mei tahun 2018 adalah sebesar 152 Ha dengan jumlah produksi 98 ton. Penelitian yang dilakukan di Desa Malik Makmur, Penentuan responden dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode sensus dengan total 86 orang petani. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa: Koefisien X1 (Luas Lahan) = 1,782 artinya luas lahan mengalami peningkatan sebesar 1%, sementara Bibit, tenaga kerja dan sanitasi dianggap tetap maka akan menyebabkan kenaikan produksi Mete di Desa Malik Makmur Kecamatan Bualemo sebesar 1,782%.  Koefisien X2 (Bibit) = -0,255 artinya Jika penggunaan bibit ditambahkan sebesar 1%, sementara Luas Lahan, tenaga kerja dan sanitasi dianggap tetap maka akan menyebabkan penurunan produksi Mete di Desa Malik Makmur Kecamatan Bualemo sebesar -0,255%.  Koefisien X3 (Tenaga Kerja) = 0,157, artinya Jika Tenaga Kerja mengalami peningkatan sebesar 1%, akan menyebabkan kenaikan produksi Mete di Desa malik Makmur Kecamatan Bualemo sebesar 0,157%. Koefisien X4 (Sanitasi) = -0,026 artinya Jika Sanitasimengalami peningkatan sebesar 1%, sementara Bibit, tenaga kerja dan lahan dianggap tetap maka akan menyebabkan Penurunan produksi Mete di Desa malik Makmur Kecamatan Bualemo sebesar -0,026%.
