Soybean varieties suitability in agroforestry system with kayu putih under influence of soil quality parameters 1 The existence of soybean varieties and soil type interaction causes differences in productivity of soybean varieties in agroforestry systems with kayu putih. Soil quality parameters (physical, chemical and biological characteristics) will affect the productivity of soybean varieties. The objective of this study was to reveal the relationship between soil quality parameters with soybean varieties suitability in agroforestry system with kayu putih over three locations in which their soil type were different, i.e. Lithic Haplusterts, Ustic Epiaquerts and Vertic Haplustalfs. The study was conducted from May to August, 2018 in Menggoran Forest Resort, Playen District, Gunungkidul Regency, Special Province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The highest yield of soybean per hectare on Dering I grown in Lithic Haplusterts and Ustic Epiaquerts was 1.38 and 1.27 tons.ha -1 , respectively, while Grobogan in Ustic Epiaquerts 1.24 tons.ha -1 . Dering I showed the mean of the highest yield and most suitable in all soil types, while Gema showed the mean of the lowest yield and not suitable in all soil types. Soil quality parameters that had a significant influenced on the production of soybean varieties in agroforestry systems with kayu putih were chemical characteristic consisting of availability of P, Mg, NH 4 + , Mn and Ca.

<p>Kentang merupakan sayuran yang memiliki prospek untuk mendukung program diversifikasi pangan. Akan tetapi saat ini produksi di dalam negeri masih rendah akibat penggunaan benih yang kurang bermutu. Sistem irigasi tetes berpeluang untuk diterapkan pada produksi benih kentang G0. Penelitian  bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh frekuensi dan volume fertigasi terhadap produksi benih G0 kentang pada sistem irigasi tetes. Penelitian  dilaksanakan sejak bulan Mei sampai dengan September 2016 di Rumah Kassa Desa Cikahuripan, Lembang, Bandung Barat, Jawa Barat dengan ketinggian 1.200 m dpl. Percobaan menggunakan rancangan petak terpisah (split plot design) dengan rancangan acak kelompok lengkap dan tiga ulangan. Sebagai petak utama adalah frekuensi fertigasi sebanyak 3, 5, dan 7 kali. Sebagai anak petak adalah volume fertigasi (ml) setiap aplikasi, yaitu 100, 200, 300, dan 400. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terjadi interaksi antara perlakuan frekuensi dan volume fertigasi terhadap semua peubah pengamatan. Frekuensi fertigasi terbaik terhadap bobot ubi per tanaman umur 100 HST adalah lima kali, yaitu jam 7, 10, 12, 14, dan 16. Volume fertigasi terbaik terhadap jumlah ubi ukuran besar umur 100 HST adalah 300 ml per aplikasi per polibag. Volume dan frekuensi fertigasi terbaik ini diharapkan tidak saja meningkatkan produksi benih, tetapi juga keuntungan usahatani yang diperoleh. Perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menginduksi pengumbian dengan mengalihkan ukuran ubi menjadi peningkatan jumlah ubi sebagai tujuan produksi benih G0.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p><em>Solanum</em> tuberosum L.; Irigasi tetes; Fertigasi; Frekuensi; Volume</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Potato is one of vegetables that can be used as an alternative to support food diversification programs. But the potato production domestically is still low because of low quality seed. One of the potato seed technologies that can be developed is arragement of fertigation volumes and frequencies on drip fertigation. The objective of this research was to determine the best fertigation volume and frequency in G0 potato seed production in drip irrigation. This research was conducted from May to September 2016 at Screen House Cikahuripan Village, Lembang, Bandung on 1,200 m asl. The treatments were arranged in split plot design with randomized complete block design and three replications. The main plot was fertigation frequency which was consisted of three levels; 3, 5, and 7 times per day. The subplot was fertigation volume which was consisted of four levels; 100, 200, 300, and 400 ml per aplication. The result showed there was no interaction between fertigation frequency and volume on all observation. The best fertigation frequency on tuber weight per plant at 100 day after planting was five  times, i.e. 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16 o’clock. The best fertigation volume on number of big tuber at 100 day after planting was 300 ml per application. The best fertigation volume and frequency will increase not only seed production, but also profit of bussiness. Next research will be done to induction tuberization by transfering measurement of tuber to increase the amount of tuber as goal of production of G0 potato seed.</p><p> </p>

Pak choy is a popular crop for a lot of people because it is easily cultivated, short-lived, and it has economic value. Its productivity can be improved by adding organic matters. Aside from providing benefits to crops, the continuous use of organic materials can establish an organic farming system. This research aimed to determine the effects of vinasse and different types of organic fertilizers as well as to obtain the correct combination of the two for the growth and yield of pak choy (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis (L) Hanelt). It was conducted in November 2015-February 2016 in the agricultural land of the Center for Agricultural Training and Self-help Rural Area, i.e. the Organic Farming of Merapi (P4S TOM) in Balangan, Wukirsari, Cangkringan District, Sleman Regency, the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The experiment used the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) that composed by two factors. The first factor was the quantity of vinasse that consisted of 3 levels: 0 l/ha (V0), 25.000 l/ha (V½), and 50.000 l/ha (V1). The second factor was the types of organic fertilizers that consisted of 4 levels: no organic fertilizer (P0), heart-leaved moonseed (P1), eggshell (P2), and catfish (P3). The combination of 50.000 l/ha of vinasse and without organic fertilizer was able to improve leaf surface area. The combination of 25.000 l/ha of vinasse with no organic fertilizer became the best combination in the pak choy growth and yield.

The jackfruit needs keep increasing for household comsumption, industry and plant conservation. This requires efforts to increase productivity through the development and maintenance of the plant that more intensive and efficient. An aspect to consider in efforts to increase productivity is the plant nursery. The experiment was ained to know the effect of soaking water of jackfruit seed (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk.
