To survive in the competition, educational institutions must maintain the quality both in terms of the teaching staff used and in terms of the learning provided to students. This study examines the effect of service quality, learning quality, and promotion strategies on parents' decisions in choosing primary schools for their children. Purposive sampling technique was used in the data collection process, where the respondents were the parents of students from ABC primary school as many as 100 respondents. The test results show that the quality of the teaching staff, the quality of the learning methods used, and the school's promotion strategies are essential aspects that parents consider in determining the primary school for their children.

ABSTRACT This research purposes know the growth and tubers yield of potato (G0) under various thickness of cocopeat media and time of sundstrom nutrient giving. The research was carried in the screen house in Pandansari, Paguyangan district from October 2014 until January 2015. The research used Randomized Complete Block Design with 2 factor and 3 repetitions. The first factor was the thickness of media with three levels; 10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm. The second factor was the time of nutrient solution giving with two levels; once for three days and once for six days. The results of the research showed that the thickness of cocopeat media 20 cm was good for plant height, total of leaves, wide of plant leaves, and improve the roots length 23.6 %. Time of nutrient giving once for three days was good for plant height, total of leaves, wide of plant leaves, weight of fresh plant, weight of dry plant and the result was good for stolon effectiveness (49.84%), weight of fresh tuber (137.85 g), and weight of dry tuber (21.55 g). The treatment of cocopeat medium thickness and time of nutrient giving had not been able to provide increased yield of potato tuber (G0).

Sistem perbenihan nasional masih mengandalkan sistem produksi konvensional dan masih perlu meningkatkan kapasitas teknologi produksi benih kentang yang efisien untuk kemandirian benih di pusat-pusat produksi kentang. Pemberdayaan penangkar benih melalui teknologi aeroponik diharapkan dapat meningkatkan motivasi masyarakat dalam penerapan inovasi teknologi benih kentang nasional. Kegiatan meliputi pelatihan untuk meningkatkan aspek pengetahuan inovasi teknologi aeroponik dan sistem perbenihan kentang nasional. Melalui demplot percontohan sistem aeroponik dan pembibitan pada media steril di rumah tanaman, dan dengan pendampingan intensif diharapkan dapat meyakinkan masyarakat tentang manfaat teknologi aeroponik untuk memproduksi benih kentang bagi komunitas petani kentang. Secara umum, kegiatan telah dilaksanakan sesuai rencana dengan kinerja fisik sebesar 100%.

The morpho-physiological response study of three shallots varieties on the water surface variation level of the trench aims to find plants that are tolerant of water shortages. The study was conducted in the rice fields of Pulosari village, Brebes District, Brebes Regency, Central Java, Indonesia for three months (January to March 2019). The experimental design used was a separate plot design with three replications. The main plot of trench water surface height (T) is T1 = 10 cm, T2 = 20 cm and T3 = 30 cm. The subplots of shallot variety (V) are V1 = Bima, V2 = Yellow and V3 = Sumenep. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance at 5% error level, if there is a real difference found, the study would be followed by the Least Significant Difference Test (LSD) level 5%. The results showed that the condition of water shortage was very influential on the morpho-physiological response of three shallots varieties.

Kawasan pesisir masih memiliki banyak lahan marginal yang potensial untuk budidaya pertanian. Salah satu aspek penting dalam budidaya di wilayah pesisir adalah penggunaan air yang efektif untuk pertumbuhan tanaman yang optimal. Metode irigasi tradisional tidak terlalu efektif dan berbiaya tinggi. Makalah ini menyajikan desain irigasi otomatis berdasarkan kelembaban tanah untuk lahan berpasir. Sensor kelembaban tanah berupa probe sederhana dan biaya rendah dibangun dalam sistem otomatis berbasis Arduino-Mega sebagai alat pengendali utama. Algoritma dua set point Kontrol On-Off yang dapat disesuaikan penerapannya untuk menjaga kelembaban tanah berpasir pada kisaran kapasitas lapang dan titik layu permanen. Pengujian probe kelembaban tanah menunjukkan respon yang cukup cepat dan tidak linier terhadap perubahan kelembaban tanah. Sistem irigasi dapat bekerja dengan baik pada set point yang diinginkan (antara 12% dan 20% kelembaban tanah berpasir). Pompa listrik 125W yang digunakan mampu melayani 8 sprinkler untuk tiap petak lahan (@ 1x2 m2).
