Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Desa Tanjung Pering, Kecamatan Indralaya Utara, Kabupaten Ogan Ilir, Sumatera Selatan di lahan petani dengan agroekosisten lahan kering, dimulai Februari 2020 sampai Agustus 2020.Adapun tujuan daripada penelitian ini untuk mengetahui daya hasil darike-empat varietas cabai merah yang ditanam dengan menerapkan komponen teknologi proliga.  Luasdemplot 4000 m². Perlakuan varietas unggul cabai merah yakni: Tanjung-2, Lembang-1, Inata Agrihorti berasal dari Balai Penelitian Tanaman Sayuran dan AYU (eksisting).Teknologi yang digunakan yaitu teknologi proliga menerapkan lima komponen teknologi. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi :  tinggi tanaman, jumlah cabang, berat buah/tanaman, panjang buah, berat 100 buah dan produksi.   Metoda yang digunakan adalah pengamatan langsung di lapangan. Data yang diperoleh disusun secara tabulasi dan dianalisis dengan uji statistik yaitu uji kesamaan nilai tengah (uji–t). Berdasarkan hasil analisis statistic bahwa Produksi tertinggi dicapai oleh varietas Lembang-1(11 ton/ha) diikuti oleh AYU (9,8 ton/ha), Tanjung-2 (9,5 ton/ha) dan produksi terendah Inata AgriHorti (3,8 ton/ha).

The research objective is to recommend the sale of the best ornamental plant species to lovers of ornamental plants by using decision support system techniques. Ornamental plants are a type of ornamental plants that can survive in various conditions. In this case ornamental plants are also very vulnerable to disease such as root rot, shoot rot and others. Many types of ornamental plant sellers do not know how to handle ornamental plants that have diseases or symptoms when they occur. The study was conducted in Simalungun District with a sample of thirteen traders selling ornamental plants using observation and questionnaire distribution techniques. Selection of ornamental plants based on the types in this study include: Orchid Plants (A1), Tulips (A2), Bougenvil (A3) and Jasmine (A4). The assessment criteria used include: Plant height (C1), Plant quality (C2), Plant type (C3) and Plant age (C4). The method used in this research is Simple Additive Weighting. The results showed that Orchid Plant (A1) was the best alternative for selling ornamental plant species (V1: 0.91) and Jasmine (A4) as a second alternative (V2: 0.8).

Shallow swamps can be used for rice production during the dry season. The problem that occurs is lack of water. The technology needed to overcome these problems is drought tolerant superior varieties. The purpose of this study is to obtain superior varieties tolerant to drought on shallow lebak swampy. The study was conducted from April 2019 to August 2019. The varieties used were Situ bagendit, Rindang 1, Rindang 2, and the Siam (local) as comparison. Data collected included: plant height, number of productive tillers, number of grains per panicle, number of filled grains per panicle, number of empty grains per panicle and production. The method used is direct observation in the field. The data obtained were compiled by tabulation and analyzed by statistical tests namely the similarity test of the middle value (t-test). The results showed that the varieties Situ Bagendit, Rindang 1, and Rindang 2 had better numbers of productive tillers, number of grains per panicle, and number of filled grains per panicle than Siam varieties. The highest production was achieved by the Situ Bagendit variety, namely 4.6 tonnes/ha. Meanwhile, the production of Rindang 2, Rindang 1, and Siam varieties were 4.4; 4.0; and 2.0 tonnes/ha.

Juwita Y, Karman J, Hutapea Y, Suparwoto S. 2020. Suitability of rubber plantation land intercropped with corn (Zea mays L) plants in Kelurahan Betung. Jurnal Lahan Suboptimal: Journal of Suboptimal Lands 9(1): 73-79.Rubber is one of the leading commodities of plantations in South Sumatra, especially in Banyuasin District. The opportunity for unused footpath land is a big potential in increasing farmers' income. In Betung Village, besides rubber, the community also raises livestock such as cows. This study aimed to provide information on the actual soil fertility status and see the suitability of the land in the study area when planted with corn plants, as well as the recommendations for the needed technology. The study used a survey method and the soil samples were taken using purposive random sampling method by determining the point diagonally and analyzed in the laboratory. The results of the study showed that the land suitability class at the location was according to the marginal with the limiting factors of water availability (rainfall) and nutrient retention (KB and pH). To obtain optimal corn production results, it is recommended to prepare a rainwater collection area and the addition of lime and organic matter.
