National food security must be maintained because the food need of the Indonesian population in the next few years will still continue to increase. Since there is no food diversification for their staple food, rice role will still dominate. More over, the conversion of irrigated rice fields functions is also increasing. This reality must be addressed with policies and the application of efficient lowland rice production technology so that it is still able to meet national food needs while the income of wetland rice farmers increase. This study, combined an experimental production technology and descriptive methods on the farmer income aspect institutional strengthening. The aim of the research is to increase the added value of irrigated rice fields, which area is believed to be increasingly shrinking, while on the other side still produce rice as the main national food and also produce the addition of animal food in the form of fish coulde. Data obtained in the previous study showed that combination of water dept of a 10 cm with 50 cm width is the best treatment for the development of rice and fish togethere. This treatment is used as well as basis for testing the MINAPADI-SRI pattern with more varieties and types of fish, which is expected to obtaine more practical and profitable combinations. The research was conducted in the Split plot design where fish species (Tawes, Mas, and Nila) as the main plot and the rice varieties (PB42, Batang Piaman, and Beras Merah) as sub plot. The results showed that the PB42 gave higher yield compared to two the other varieties where tilapia and goldfish were which maintained in the technically irrigated rice fields.

Peanut  is  one important plant in Indonesia as source of protein. Productivity of peanut in Indonesia  is still low than USA, China and Argentina. We need to improve  our cultivation technic  and then increase it’s  productions. The aimed of this research was to find the best combination between NT45 organik fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer dosage for increasing growth and yield of  peanut. This research was done from August until December 2015. The research used 3 x 3factorialinCompletely Randomized Design with three replications. The first factor was NT45 organic fertilizer dosage consisted of three levels : 80, 160 and 240 g/plant. The second factor was SP36  fertilizer dosage consisted of three levels : 0, 50 and 100  kg/ha. The result showed that NT45 organic and phosphate fertilizers interacted each other affecting the growth and yield of peanut. Application of 160 g/plant NT45 organik fertilizer and  0 kg/ha SP36 fertilizer showed the best growth and yield of peanut. This indicates  that NT45 organic fertilizer could be used alone without addition of phospate fertilizer and it is increasing economical efficiency.
