<p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong><strong> </strong></p><p><em>The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectivity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation on shallot yield with three techniques of irrigation. This research was conducted at Gagasari Village, Cirebon from May to August 2016. This research was arranged in split plot design with two factors. Irrigation technique as main plot consisted of three levels i.e. without water logging, intermittent, and using water logging. Rates of AMF as sub plot consisted of three levels i.e., 0, 10, and 15 g per plant. The result showed that rates of AMF affected water content of plant. The rates 15 g per plant of AMF gave the highest of water content of plant (65%). Furthermore, the highest of biomass was resulted by water logging treatment. Phosphorus content of plant was not affected by AMF inoculation.  Inoculation of AMF increased shallot bulb weight per plant when it was combined to intermittent and water logging treatment. Based on regression test to AMF rates at water logging treatment, the optimum rates to increase weight of shallot bulb was 6.71 g AMF per plant. That rates potentially gave 23.53 g per plant of shallot bulb.</em></p><p><em>Keywords: intermittent, phosphorus content, water content, water logging </em></p><p align="center"><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong> </p><p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas dari inokulasi cendawan mikoriza arbuskula (CMA) terhadap produksi bawang merah dengan tiga teknik pengairan yang berbeda. Hifa CMA dapat membantu proses penyerapan air dan unsur hara pada tanaman terutama fosfor (P). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Desa Gagasari, Kabupaten Cirebon dari bulan Mei sampai Agustus 2016. Terdapat dua faktor perlakuan yang disusun dengan rancangan <em>split plot. </em>Petak utama adalah teknik pengairan yang terdiri atas tiga taraf yaitu selalu tergenang, <em>intermittent</em>, dan tidak tergenang. Anak petak adalah dosis CMA yang terdiri atas tiga taraf yaitu tanpa CMA, 10 g per tanaman, dan 15 g per tanaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang nyata dosis CMA terhadap kadar air tanaman. Kadar air tanaman tertinggi (65%) diperoleh dari pemberian dosis 15 g per tanaman. Serapan P tanaman tidak dipengaruhi oleh penambahan CMA. Bobot kering tanaman tertinggi (20.23 g per tanaman) diperoleh dari perlakuan teknik pengairan dengan penggenangan. Inokulasi CMA efektif meningkatkan bobot umbi per tanaman pada teknik pengairan <em>intermittent </em>dan selalu tergenang. Berdasarkan hasil uji regresi terhadap dosis CMA pada kondisi selalu tergenang, dosis optimum untuk meningkatkan bobot umbi per tanaman yaitu 6.71 g CMA per tanaman. Dari dosis tersebut diperoleh potensi bobot umbi per tanaman 23.53 g per tanaman.</p>Kata kunci: <em>intermittent</em>, kadar air, penggenangan, serapan P

Baduy tribe is one of traditional community that live in Banten, Indonesia. They live in groups that still uphold to their ancestors' habits especially in farming. The purpose of this article is to explain their habits and prohibitions in their community in perspective of soil and water conservation. We used direct observation and literature review to describe the prohibitions. There are several prohibitions that they adhere to such as they cannot enter to the larangan forest, they are not allowed to tillage and change the contour of soil, using the chemical in farming (pesticide and inorganic fertilizer), making an irrigation that can change the river flow, and they can cultivate some crops in specific area. All of those rules prevent the environmental damage such as erosion, landslides, flood, drought, and water pollution. The other advantage of the prohibition is preservation of the biodiversity. Their traditional life makes a unique way for them to save the forest and river including springs from the environmental damage.

Tanaman bawang merah merupakan komoditas hortikultura yang memiliki nilai ekonomi yang strategis. Untuk menunjang pertumbuhan dan meningkatkan produksi tanaman bawang merah maka diperlukan berbagai upaya, diantaranya penambahan bahan organic sebagai pupuk. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis keragaan pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman bawang merah kultivar Bauji dengan pengaturan dosis pupuk kandang ayam. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dengan tiga perlakuan dosis pupuk kandang (0, 20 dan 40 ton/ha) dan setiap perlakuan diulang empat kali. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan dosis pupuk kandang ayam memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman pada 14 HST, jumlah daun pada 14 dan 21 HST. Sedangkan pada komponen hasil pengaturan dosis pupuk kandang ayam tidak berpengaruh nyata pada bobot basah dan bobot kering per petak. pH dan kandungan hara tanah berpengaruh terhadap penyerapan pupuk kandang yang diberikan

Gedong Gincu mango (GGM) is a leading commodity in the Cirebon district. It’s cultivated intensively in five sub-districts and is a source of income for the community. The study aimed to analyze the contribution of the agriculture sector to community welfare, especially in the Cirebon district. This research was conducted from August to October 2020 in the five sub-districts that produce GGM. Descriptive, quantitative field surveys were provided to 300 participants and multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the agricultural sector has contributed to the GRDP, but the extent to which it does so varied between the five sub-districts. The agricultural sector in the Sedong and Greged sub district had the highest contribution to the GRDP, but they both have the lowest score on the Human Development Index (HDI). This suggested that the existence of a leading GRDP does not guarantee high community welfare in GGM producing areas. HDI was found to have a strong correlation to the GRDP of an area. Economic development affects community welfare as suggested by the HDI. Keywords: gedong gincu mango, human development index, gross regional domestic

Filter mud and boiler ash are sugar factory wastes that have benefits as a soil amendment. The huge quantities of unutilized filter mud and boiler ash was a fuel of this study. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of sugarcane wastes to planting media for bud chips sugarcane nurseries. This experiment was used randomized group design with three different planting media, consisting of filter mud and soils (P1), boiler ash and soils (P2), and soils only (P3). The sugarcane seeds used were bud chips sugarcane with Bululawang varieties. The results showed that the application of sugar factory wastes in planting media was able to enhance the sugarcane plant growth, including the amount of leaves, the diameter of stem, wet and dry weight of plants in 8 weeks after planting. Sugarcane wastes did not significantly improve the height of plants dan plant roots. Combinations of filter mud and soils has the highest value of vegetative growth compared to other media.
