One of the efforts to anticipate the impact of climate change on rice is the introduction of new high yielding and early maturing varieties tolerant drought. The aim of this study was to examine the growth performance and potential production of several early maturing and drought tolerant rice varieties in lowland on dry season. The assessment was conducted in Majalengka regency from June to September 2019. Five varieties used were Inpari 39, Cakrabuana, Inpago 11, Rindang 1, and Luhur 1 with through application of Controlled Aerobic Rice based on Organic matter Technology (CARO). Variables observed including plant height and number of productive tillers, number of grains per panicle, percent of empty grains, and also weight of 1,000 grains. The observations results showed that five tested rice varieties showed good adaptation responses to drought stress with average productivity of around 6 to 7 t ha−1. Cakrabuana was potentially to be developed in dry season under drought stress due to its high yield potential and early maturing (85 days after planting). The early maturing and high yielding varieties in the dry season in lowland can be used as an alternative technology to increase the cropping index (CI) and rice production.

Rainfed lowland is a potential physical resource for soybean development to increase the cropping index. The study aimed to optimize the rainfed paddy fields by introducing a package which has several recommended technologies in a limited amount of water condition. The study was conducted in Sanca Village, Gantar District, Indramayu Regency from July to September 2019. The treatment was a recommended technologies package in soybean farming. The observed variables were plant height and number of branches in three growth phases, namely vegetative phase, flowering phase and maturing phase. The yield components were also observed. The collected data were analyzed by using t-test with technical cultivation of farmers’ ways as a comparison. The results showed that the recommended technology package for soybean cultivation in the dry season produced higher soybean productivity (1.25 t ha−1). Cultivation of soybeans in the dry season in rainfed lowland areas must pay attention to the suitability of varieties and availability of water sources in an effort to achieve optimal production.

The research has been conducted to find out a competitive advantage of beef cattle farming. Data used in this research was primary data collected through survey in Gunungkidul Regency, Province od Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. The location determination was cinducted in purposive based on population of beef cattle. The selected location was Sub District of Karang Mojo and Semanu. Total sample was defined in quota that is 240 beef cattle farmers, each 120 beef cattle farmers in Karang Mojo and Semanu. Sample selection was taken  random sampling.  The result suggested that (1) on the whole, without considering various production system and management that much occurred upon its actual condition, beef cattle farming in Gunung Kidul had have competitive advantage because has PCR value < 1, (2) breeding was more competitive advantage than fattening, (3) local cattle breeding has better competitive advantage than crossbreeding cattle, (4) local cattle fattening was more competitive advantage than fattening of crossbreeding cattle, (5) the competitive advantage indicates the usage of domestic resources that has been valued in actual price were quite efficient so that the beef cattle farming is proper to develop on giving economic live for its performer, and (6) the competitive advantage were acquired from the use of greenery, dedak (mixture of rice and bran), gaplek,and family force because the whole input were from field or farmer family source until there is no need cash to achieve it.

The objective of this study is to understand the influence of capital structure, sales growth and firm size on firm value in the automotive and component sub-sectors that are registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2016-2020 period. The research method used in this research is descriptive and verification methods. The findings of the study state that capital structure significantly and positively influences firm value, while there is no effect of sales growth and firm size on firm value in the automotive and component industry sub-sector companies that are registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2016-2020 period.
