ABSTRAKCV Frinsa Agrolestari sebagai salah satu perusahaan kopi berfokus pada pemberdayaan dan pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) petani mitra untuk memproduksi biji kopi berkualitas tinggi, menjaga kelestarian bumi, serta meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat petani kopi. Pengembangan masyarakat perlu terus dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Bentuk pengembangan masyarakat harus bersifat partisipatif dengan melakukan analisis masalah dan merumuskan perencanaan kegiatan untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengembangan masyarakat yaitu simulasi pembuatan pupuk organic cair dan evaluasi kegiatan dengan pembagian kuisioner. Limbah ampas kopi tersedia di petani kebun mitra tani CV Frinsa Agrolestari, namun belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Pemanfaatan limbah ampas kopi dilakukan dengan pembuatan Pupuk Organik Cair (POC). POC diaplikasikan pada tanaman yang dimiliki oleh petani mitra kopi. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa para petani sebagian besar memiliki keinginan dalam pemanfaatan limbah ampas kopi dan merasa puas dengan sosialisasi pemberdayaan masyarakat. Kata kunci : kopi, mitra tani, pemberdayaan masyarakat ABSTRACTCV Frinsa Agrolestari as one of the coffee companies that focuses on human resource (HR) empowerment and development for farmer partnership to produce high quality coffee beans, maintain the sustainability of the earth, and improve the welfare of the coffee farming community. Community development needs to continue to be done to improve the community welfare. The form of the community development must be participatory by conducting problem analysis and formulating activity planning to solve the problem.The method of implementing community development activities is simulating the manufacture of liquid organic fertilizer and evaluation activities were carried out by distributing questionnaires. Coffee ground waste is available in farmer partnership in CV Frinsa Agrolestari, but has not been optimally utilized. The utilization of coffee grounds waste is done by making Liquid Organic Fertilizer. Liquid Organic Fertilizer is applied to their crops owned by coffee farmers. The evaluation results showed that farmers mostly have a desire in the utilization of coffee ground waste and are satisfied with the socialization of community empowerment.Key words : coffee, community empowerment, farmer partners

Pruning coffee plants is intended to stimulate generative growth that increases productivity to reach optimal. Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) makes it possible to exploit the production potential of plants. Pruning management, combined with the PGR in coffee plants, is expected to improve flowering and berry growth. The research was conducted for 7 mo from October 2017 to April 2018 at Gunung Gede, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. A split–plot design with two treatment factors was used in this research. Pruning was placed as the main plot consisting of two levels, namely without (P0) and with pruning (P1). The PGR application was placed as a subplot, consisting of three dosages, namely without PGR (Z0), and concentrations of 0.3 mL L–1 (Z1) and 0.4 mL L–1 (Z2). The results showed, the pruning treatment significantly influenced microclimate, number of branches, B0, B1 and B2, number of berry sets, and berries. Pruning treatment had a very significant effect on microclimate, plant height, number of branches, number of coffee fruits, yields crops–1, and productivity. Interaction both significantly affected plant height and B0. The best dosage had not yet been found.

The oil palm should be replanted if it is 25 years old. The area of replanting of open oil palm will make the soil become dry, dense and will be easily washed so it will become less fertile. Therefore, soil conservation efforts are needed. Intercropping system pattern can be used as an alternative to land conservation in oil palm replanting area. The experiment was conducted at Cikabayan Experimental Estate, Bogor Agricultural University from February 2018 to May 2018. Research conducted using a completely randomized design environment with three replications. The treatment used in this research is corn monoculture, peanut monoculture, intercropping 1 row corn + 1 row of peanuts and intercropping 1 row of corn + 2 rows of peanuts. The results of the growth of corn showed that intercropping treatment gived higher plant growth, stem diameter and more leaf compared to corn monoculture. Similar results were also shown in peanut plants where intercropping treatment showed higher peanut growth compared to peanut monocultures. In yield per hectare variables showed that monoculture treatment yield higher than intercropping system. Treatment of corn and peanut monoculture yields per hectare greater than the intercropping treatment. However, the equilibrium ratio of the intercropping shows the result> 1. NKL ratio of intercropping treatment 1 row of corn + 1 row of peanut is 1.40 and intercropping 1 row of corn + 2 rows of peanuts 1.46.

Coffee is one of the plantation commodities that play an important role as a source of foreign exchange for the country. One alternative to overcome the land decrease in rural area is to utilize urban farming in the form of a vertical planting system. This study aimed to obtain alternative techniques for planting coffee seedlings using vertical farming and to determine the effect of vertical planting with several growing media on the growth of coffee seedlings. The study was arranged in a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four treatments, namely: 1) conventional nursery; 2) topsoil verticulture nursery; 3) topsoil and compost media verticulture, and 4) topsoil, compost, and husk charcoal media verticulture. The data were analyzed using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The observed variables included observations of the morphology of coffee seedlings and verticulture environmental factors. The results showed that vertical planting on the vegetative growth of coffee seedlings was not significantly different from conventional planting. Topsoil planting media and husk charcoal in vertical planting did not significantly affect the morphological growth of coffee seedlings. The combination of topsoil, husk charcoal and compost gave the best plant height of 12.4 cm at 13 weeks after planting.

Tanaman merupakan tanaman penghasil devisa negara no 2. Salah satu penyebab produktivitas karet rendah adalah petani perkebunan rakyat yang kurang menguasai teknologi budidaya yang tepat dan jarang menggunakan klon-klon unggul anjuran sesuai standar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan jenis klon dan penambahan pupuk terhadap keberhasilan okulasi cokelat dan pertumbuhan bibit karet. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada tanggal 14 Januari - 1 April 2020 di Kebun Pasir Ucing, PT Pasir Ucing, Bandung, Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua faktor yaitu perlakuan klon batang atas okulasi coklat yaitu : (K1) Klon PR 261 dan (K2) Klon PR 300 serta perlakuan Pupuk yaitu : (P1) Tanpa Pupuk dan (P2) Pupuk. Setiap perlakuan diulang tiga kali dan setiap satuan percobaan terdapat tiga bibit, sehingga total perlakuan yaitu 36 satuan percobaan. Pengamatan yang diamati yaitu; bahan Tanam, prosentase keberhasilan okulasi, prosentase daun, tinggi tunas, diameter tunas dan pemeliharaan Bibit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan klon batang atas PR 261 lebih baik dibanding klon batang atas PR 300. Penambahan pupuk menghasilkan pertumbuhan tinggi tunas bibit karet sebesar 6,97 cm dan diameter sebesar 0.29 cm. Kombinasi Perlakuan klon PR 261 dan pupuk urea 4 g polybag-1, Sp-36 2 g polybag-1 dan KCL 1 g polybag-1 meningkatkan pertumbuhan bibit karet.
