Peatlands, as a type of ecosystem, are widely accepted to contribute to biodiversity, climate regulation, and human well-being. In comparison, it is reported that mismanagement of peatlands has resulted in a decline in environmental quality. To overcome this obstacle, the government should continue to investigate various cultivating strategies that allow for rapid propagation in order to accomplish the peatland restoration goal as efficiently as possible. However, due to the involvement in land restoration operations that initially met with little support from peatland farmers, their socioeconomic situation warranted further investigation. Therefore, this study examined the socioeconomic values associated with agricultural operations. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method and was conducted in Tumbang Nusa Village, Jabiren Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, a region prone to peatland fires. The data were collected via interviews with 45 key informants. Land ownership, plant species, farmer motivations, farmer income, the value of forests to peatland farmers, and their understanding of peatlands and management were all collected. The findings indicate that successful peatland cultivation and management have benefited the farmer community. Land tenure is divided into two categories for peatland farmers: those derived from a 2-hectare transmigration quota and those acquired through a sale process. They, in general, have a firm grasp on peatlands and how to manage them, despite past failures due to ineffective techniques. They grow both short-and long-term plants, with the majority motivated by a desire to increase income from peatland cultivation and management. They earn between USD 2,277 and USD 7,286.4 per year from agricultural and non-agricultural products, placing them in the category of high-income individuals. While farmers from Java and indigenous people manage peatlands differently, they share a common goal: preventing peatland fires so they can continue to reap the economic benefits of land management through farming. Finally, they believe that the forest is necessary for survival, believing that peatland forests must be protected in order to survive. However, this study demonstrates that they continue to require guidance and assistance with sustainable peatland management that takes into account the socioeconomic functions of peatlands, strikes a balance between environmental protection and local community development,

Using technology is, of course, the better option [45][46][47]. Furthermore, the government's agroforestry efforts can broaden the plant variety available.…”

Current studies on tropical peatlands in Indonesia are mostly focused on the impacts of management practices on the environment. Studies on efforts to conserve and rehabilitate the degradation of tropical peatland involving farmers through agroforestry systems have been limited. By employing the qualitative survey with semi-structured interviews and field observations to agroforestry locations in two villages of Tumbang Nusa and Kalampangan, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia aims to fill those research gaps. The results showed that the main motivation of farmers in starting agroforestry activities was the understanding that there would be limited trees in the future, and planting trees with a combination of intercrops provided adequate income. Agroforestry farmers who devote considerable time to agroforestry can meet the family's economic needs. Although further guidance is not typically provided, government intervention through tree planting programs also stimulates agroforestry activities. Intensive management of intercrops in various types can provide a good income. For intensive intercropping options, farmers follow market demand, while less intensive farmers prefer plants that do not require intensive management. Trees planted in agroforestry systems are only given fertilizer at the initial planting stage. Some farms receive fertilizer subsidies from government support programmes, but fertilizers are obtained from intercropping at the following stage. The study results imply that the community needs to get knowledge and training on agroforestry, which can be a way of conserving and rehabilitating tropical peatlands and a source of income.

This study was conducted to evaluate the biocontrol potential of Trichoderma sp., and vermicompost on the management of Sclerotium rolfsii and chilli plant growth under peatlands agro-climatic conditions. The research was conducted under the laboratory as well field condition of Palangka Raya University in a completely randomized factorial design. As a treatment, four doses of Trichoderma sp. i.e. 0, 5, 10, and 15 g/box, and three doses of Vermicompost i.e. 0, 100, and 200g/ box was used individually and in combination and each treatment have three replications. Three kilograms of sterilized peat soil planting media were placed in the 36 plastic boxes and Trichoderma sp., and vermicompost was applied 1 week before the chilli seeds are planted. After 10 weeks of plantations, observations related to the disease intensity and chilli growth and yield were recorded. The results of the study revealed a synergistic effect of Trichoderma sp. and vermicompost combination in controlling the stem rot disease caused by S. rolfsii. Individual and combined application of Trichoderma and vermicompost had an effective range of 73.33-100% over the control. Further, among the various tested treatments, a combination of Trichoderma sp @ 5g/box with vermicompost @ 200g/box and individual application of Trichoderma sp @ 10g/box were found superior in the management of stem rot disease. In the case of chilli growth parameters, the results of the study suggested that the application of vermicompost had a significant effect on the chilli plant's growth and yield, while the application of Trichoderma sp. significantly affects the chilli plants number of leaves.
