Sistem Informasi Kalender Tanam Terpadu  (SI KATAM Terpadu) merupakan salah satu inovasi teknologi yang dihasilkan oleh Badan Litbang Pertanian. Penerapan teknologi pada usahatani jagung hibrida merupakan salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan produktivitas. Kelayakan teknologi secara ekonomi merupakan syarat mutlak bagi suatu teknologi agar diadopsi oleh petani.  Penelitian ini  bertujuan untuk: 1) menghitung keuntungan usahatani jagung hibrida dengan penerapan rekomendasi teknologi pada SI KATAM Terpadu KM 2017  dan, 2) menganalisis kelayakan usahatani jagung hibrida dengan penerapan rekomendasi teknologi pada SI KATAM Terpadu MK 2017. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Juli-Agustus 2017 di lahan 11 orang petani kooperator seluas 4 ha di Kelurahan Kemumu Kecamatan Arma Jaya Kabupaten Bengkulu Utara. Data yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan adalah data primer berupa data usahatani yang dikumpulkan pada farm record keeping. Teknologi yang diaplikasikan adalah pendekatan penerapan SI KATAM Terpadu dengan menggunakan varietas Bima 19 URI dan Bima 20 URI. Keuntungan usahatani dihitung menggunakan analisis keuntungan sedangkan kelayakan usahatani diukur dengan nilai R/C ratio dan B/C ratio. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa usahatani varietas Bima 19 URI memberikan keuntungan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan Bima 20 URI dengan nilai secara berturut Rp 13.312.862,-/MT/ha dan Rp 8.560.862,-/MT/ha. Usahatani jagung hibrida dengan penerapan rekomendasi teknologi pada SI KATAM Terpadu MK 2017 secara ekonomi menguntungkan yang ditunjukkan dengan nilai R/C ratio >1 dan secara ekonomi usahatani ini layak untuk dikembangkan karena memiliki nilai B/C ratio >0.

Adoption of the crop-livestock system (CLS) technology innovation is influenced by internal and external factors of farmers. The purpose of this study was to determine the influencing factors of CLS adoption technology innovation for beef cattle in South Bengkulu Regency. The research was carried out from January to April 2020 at the location of the Integrated intensive livestock village (Integrated ILV) in South Bengkulu Regency located at 5 villages. Data were collected through a census involving 73 farmers i.e.  farmers’ characteristics, performance of the extension agents, attributes  of CLS innovation, communication channels, farmers' attitudes towards innovation, and the farmer adoption of CLS. Data analysis using SEM-PLS method. The results showed that farmer adoption of CLS was significantly influenced by the performance variables of the extension agents and the attributes of innovation, but not influenced by communication behavior and farmers’ attitudes.

Processing shallots into fried onions is one of the agro-industry businesses with the main raw material of shallots. The fried onion home industry is a downstreaming of agricultural commodities by providing added value from the raw materials of shallots, in the process of production competition the industry must conduct management that will produce raw materials to ensure obtaining products. The purpose of this study was to determine the operating income of fried onions and determine the management of raw materials in the "Uda Saprudin" fried onion industry in Bengkulu City. The method used in this study is the calculation of income, R / C ratio, and management of raw materials using EOQ, Safety Stock, Reorder Points, lead time and total inventory costs. This research is a case study conducted in February 2019 with the data used is the data of the past year (2018). From the research results obtained R / C value of 1.36 and the management of raw material requirements recognized EOQ value: 6.546 Kg, Reorder Point value: 6.329 Kg / Month, lead time: 0.5 months and Total inventory costs: Rp. 163,676,047 per year.

Based on oil palm yield data in Bengkulu Province, it shows several regions with varying production numbers. For this reason, it is necessary to group the potential oil palm producing areas to find out which areas produce palm oil in large or small quantities. Production shared is usually done based on the name of the oil palm producing district. Therefore, a method is needed to facilitate the grouping of oil palm producing areas. With the clustering approach, the division of regional groups can be carried out based on planted area and production. Analysis K-Means makes it easier to group an area with the largest, medium and low yields of oil palm. From the analysis results, it can be seen that the priority areas for oil palm rejuvenation in Bengkulu Province are Mukomuko District with locations in Air Rami, Pondok Suguh, Teramang Jaya and Penarik Districts.
