Introduction of high yielding varieties of red onion (Allium ascalonicum) is an effort that can be done to increase red onion production in West Kalimantan. This research aims to introduce new varieties that can adaptive for the conditions of the land in West Kalimantan in order to obtain location-specific varieties as well as to accelerate the deployment of red onion Agency for Agricultural Research and Development. The research was conducted from May to July 2014 at the Visitor BPTP Plots of West Kalimantan. Research using randomized block design with four replications. The varieties used are Katumi, Bima, Mentes, Pikatan and Manjung. Variables observed included: height of plant (cm), number of tillers (clumps), number of leaves (strands), bulbs diameter (mm), weight bulbs (g), production (tons / ha). The results showed that of the five varieties of onion were tested superior results achieved ranged from 6.11 to 9.37 tons / ha. The Varieties Bima and Katumi to give the highest production of 9.37 tons / ha and 9.09 tons / ha. Both of these varieties are recommended for development in West Kalimantan.

Rice Inpari-IR-Nutri Zinc is a biofortified product with a high zinc content compared to other types of rice. This study aimed to obtain the best planting system and the number of seeds in increasing the growth and yield of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc. This study used a Divided Plot Design which was repeated four times. There was a total of 32 treatment combinations. The planting system (S) is placed as the main plot consisting of S1 (4: 1 Legowo Planting System) and S2 (Tile Planting System), while the number of seeds (J) as sub-plots consists of J1 (1 seed), J2 (3) seeds), J3 (3 seeds) and J4 (7 seeds). The planting system and the number of seeds had a significant effect on the variables of plant height, total tiller number, number of productive tillers, the weight of 1,000 seeds, panicle length, and rice production of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc. The use of seeds of 1 and 3 plants produced 4.74 and 4.60 tons/ha. The legowo 4: 1 planting system had 4.88

Demonstrasi Farming merupakan salah satu metode penyampaian hasil-hasil penelitian dan pengguna kepada petani dan pengguna lainnya melalui peragaan teknologi untuk mempercepat adopsi teknologi. Tujuan kegiatan mendiseminasikan inovasi teknologi varietas unggul baru padi melalui Demonstrasi Farming dalam rangka mempercepat adopsi teknologi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Kelompok Tani Nek Sama, Desa Aur Sampuk, Kecamatan Sengah Temila, Kabupaten Landak dengan waktu pelaksanaan dimulai bulan Juni sampai dengan Oktober 2021.  Paket teknologi budidaya padi dilakukan dengan pendekatan Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu (PTT). Variabel yang diamati meliputi : 1). Implementasi Inovasi Teknologi Demfarm Padi, 2). Produktivitas Padi dan 3). Penyebaran dan peluang Adopsi Teknologi. Hasil kegiatan Demfarm menunjukkan introduksi Varietas Unggul Baru (VUB) yang  dikombinasikan dengan pendekatan PTT mampu meningkatkan produktivitas padi untuk Varietas Inpari 32 sebesar 39,00 % dan Varietas Inpari 37 sebesar 33,33 % dibandingkan produktivitas teknologi eksisting petani.  Inovasi teknologi Demfarm Padi yang berpeluang untuk diadopsi meliputi; penggunaan varietas unggul (91,67 %), penggunaan benih bermutu/bersertifikat dan perlakuan benih (88,33 %), pengendalian hama terpadu sesuai OPT sasaran dengan pendekatan PHT (91,67 %), sistem olah tanah sempurna (81,67 %) dan sistem tanam bibit 2 – 3 batang per rumpun (76,67 %). Diseminasi teknologi melalui Demfarm Padi dan Temu Lapang memberikan respon yang baik kepada petani kooperator maupun petani lainnya baik di wilayah lokasi pelaksanaan maupun di luar wilayah pelaksanaan melalui keunggulan teknologi yang didemonstrasikan sehingga dapat dijadikan contoh dan media bagi pengguna teknololgi

Selection of varieties and number of seedlings per hole in rice plants is closely related to the shape of canopy, the rate of plant growth and the age of plant which determine the ability of plants to intercept and absorb solar radiation intensity. This research aimed to improve the Radiation Use Efficiency of rice by selecting plant canopies based on varieties and number of seeds per hole. Research was conducted from November 2015 to May 2016, in Landak Regency, West Kalimantan. A Split Plot Design with three replications was adopted to evaluate three varieties (Sembada-168, Inpari-30, and local varieties) as main plot, and the number of seedlings per planting hole (one, three, five, and seven seedlings per planting hole) as sub plot. Result showed that there was no interaction between varieties and the number of seedlings per hole to Radiation Use Efficiency (RUE) on rice. RUE on local variety was lower than Sembada-168 and Inpari-30. One seedling per hole had higher RUE than seven seeds with value of 3.36 and 2.17 % respectively. The number of seedlings showed that RUE of one and three seedlings per hole were higher than seven seedlings per hole.

Mutu beras secara umum dipengaruhi oleh faktor genetik dan lingkungan. Sesuai dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) 6128:2015, mutu beras giling  meliputi kriteria rendemen beras kepala, rendemen beras giling, persentase beras pecah, dan derajat sosoh. Tujuan penelitian  adalah untuk mengidentifikasi mutu beras di berbagai pengilingan padi dan hubungannya dengan standar mutu beras konsumsi di Kalimantan Barat. Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2018 dengan objek penelitian unit penggilingan padi, kemudian dilanjutkan analisa karakteristik mutu beras di laboratorium. Lokasi penelitian merupakan sentra utama penghasil beras yaitu Kabupaten Sambas dan Kubu Raya. Komponen mutu yang di amati meliputi meliputi, ukuran dan bentuk beras, kadar air, derajat sosoh/derajat putih, persentase beras kepala, butir pecah, butir menir, butir kuning-rusak, dan butir mengapur). Hasil penelitian di dua Kabupaten menunjukkan mutu yang relatif sama,  kadar air <14%, bentuk butiran ramping (rasio p/l:3,0-3,4), berukuran panjang (6.6-6,8 mm), persentase beras kepala (>65%), berwarna putih (derajat sosoh >90%), butir patah <28%, menir <2%, butir mengapur <4%, butir kuning-rusak <5%, tingkat kepulenan nasi sedang (kadar amilosa 21-23%) dengan tekstur nasi sedang (konsistensi gel 56~60 mm), dan kadar protein 7%. Pemahaman akan pentingnya tentang mutu beras di tingkat penggilingan masih relatif  rendah. Diperlukan sosialisasi standar dan labeling komponen mutu beras secara intensif sehingga pemilik penggilingan padi termotivasi meningkatkan mutu beras.
