“…Nyawade et al ( 2019) reported intercropping potatoes with any of the cover crops reduced nutrient and soil loss and runoff. The substantial contribution of potato in reducing the amount of soil lost from the highland areas was also reported by Saida et al (2016). But, CIP (2013) and Nyawade et al ( 2019) argued that cultivation practices done to plant potato before and after planting and ease of harvesting after crop maturity leads to soil degradation, erosion and leaching of nutrients.…”

“…Farmers' in the highlands and undulated areas of the major potato growing belts in the country helps to protect their soil from erosion owing to its early planting time, early land cover by canopy, ridge method of planting serving as bunds unlike the late after rain on-set and at based planted common staple cereals and pulse crops. Saida et al (2016) also reported the substantial contribution of potato in reducing the amount of soil lost from the highland parts of the country. The other group argues that potato accelerates soil erosion owing to its morphological characteristics of shallow root systems requiring well prepared soil than other crops for expansion of surface running brous root system and tuber development in one hand and also ease of harvesting after crop maturity that usually involves intensive soil tillage throughout the cropping period, which often leads to soil degradation, erosion and leaching of nutrients.…”

Assessment of farmers’ perception on potato farming systems was carried out with the main objective of investigating the perception of farmers’ on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in the farming systems in north western Ethiopia. Secondary and primary sources of data were collected. 9.8% farmers went through off farm activities. They had an average potato production experience, livestock number and farm size of 36.81 years, 5.17 and 1.63ha, respectively. These farmers allot on average 0.47 ha (28.83%) of their land for potato production. The dominant potato growing season was the main season (65.1%), followed by irrigation season (25.7%) and with residual moisture (9.2%). 16.6% produced potato used as seed, 48.55% for household consumption and 25.73% sold in the near bye market with very low price (2.17 Birr/kg) as income source. On average there were two commonly grown varieties per farmer. They were losing such local potato varieties which had different quality attributes to be used in different breeding/agronomy programmes and best fit to degraded lands. Farmers ploughed their land 3.34 times before planting potato and used 2.13 t/ha potato seeds at planting as seed rate. 14.4% used their own seeds, 73.5% purchased from the surrounding market, 10.2% from their neighbors and 1.9% from the agricultural offices. Most farmers (63.0%) used fertilization, crop rotation mainly with potato (35.1%) and terracing technique (1.9%) as traditional technique of soil fertility management. Generally, farmers in the surveyed area believed that potato can ameliorate the soil fertility and protect their soils from erosion. Researches should be conducted to minimize number of ploughing in potato production. NGO’s, GOs and universities should take responsibilities to multiply and disseminate improved potato seeds and in the conservation of important local varieties. Trainings should also be given to farmers on production and usage of certified potato seeds on potato production.

The Effectiveness and Valuation of Using Silt Pit to Reduce Erosion and Nutrient Loss of Andosol

et al. 2022

The silt pit is a method of soil management that functions to accommodate and absorb surface runoff. The research aimed to determine the silt pit effectiveness for erosion reduction and nutrient loss. The research is located at 576 above sea level (asl) in Sukamantri village, Taman Sari district, Bogor Regency. The experiment used a randomized block design with three replications and a slope group. The treatments were R0 (without silt pit); R1 (silt pit); R2 (silt pit + mulch); R3 (silt pit + mulch + biopore tube), R4 (silt pit + mulch + biopore tube + vertical crop tube). The highest runoff-decreasing occurred on R4 treatment, which pressed down 29.38% runoff. The highest value of erosion-decreasing occurred on R2 as 68.74% and followed by effectiveness in reducing the loss of 71% Organic C, 76% available P, and 67% total N. The dry seeds peanut yield was around 0.54 - 0.86 Mg ha-1, dried pods was 0.96 - 1.33 Mg ha-1, and dried biomass was 5.16 - 6.23 Mg ha-1 and not significantly different between all treatments. This study recommends that farmers apply silt pit innovation technology with a combination of mulch, biopore, and mature green media because the incremental B/C ratio was 1.175. It is a good economic indicator for farmers.

“…A sustainable potato business that uses pesticides and inorganic fertilizers requires the support of local governments, businesses, and potato farmers in solving various problems. Research on the agricultural analysis of the sustainability of potato commodities was also carried out by Saida et al (2016). They assessed the multidimensional scaling (MDS) method with five factors: ecology, economy, institution, technology, and social.…”

The sustainability level needs to be measured and analyzed comprehensively using a representative measurement model. The main objective of this study was to develop a sustainable environmental management system for food crop agriculture. The proposed hybrid measurement model integrates the inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) effects and geographic information systems (GIS) with the Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed model was implemented in a potato farming system in six sub-districts in Wonosobo, Indonesia. From an environmental perspective, that is, methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O), emissions were measured using the Raspberry Pi. Then, we added GHG spatial mapping by considering the environmental quality index. Sustainability levels were classified into three classes. We then measured the economic viability, social acceptance, and spatial perspective index (Si). The results showed that the value of sustainability was >0.1 without considering Si, meaning that all samples showed conditions above the threshold for sustainability. However, after adding Si, namely altitude, slope, soil texture, temperature, and rainfall, the N1 and N2 samples had values >0.1. In contrast, N4 and N6 showed values <0.1. The proposed model can measure and analyze the sustainability of a sustainable food crop system. This model has also successfully proposed a strategy by increasing environmental sustainability in the Garung sub-district using the ANP Super Decision. We propose an alternative strategy: government regulation, strengthening agricultural institutions, disseminating emissions and environmental aspects, and academic assistance. In future research, this model can be used to control CH4, CO2, and N2O emissions.
