This study aims to evaluate the effect of grafting and budding techniques on the growth and success of avocado (Persea americana) plant propagation. Grafting and budding techniques are vegetative methods commonly used in horticultural plant propagation to maintain the genetic quality of the parent plant. The study was conducted using avocado plants with grafting and budding techniques on the rootstock. The parameters observed included the level of success of unification (compatibility rate), shoot growth rate, survival percentage, and growth in stem diameter and plant height during a certain period. The results showed that the grafting technique provided a higher success rate than the budding technique on certain varieties, with a survival percentage reaching 85%. However, the budding technique showed advantages in the parameter of shoot growth rate, especially on varieties with specific or better environmental adaptation. This study shows that choosing the right propagation technique, depending on the characteristics of the variety and environmental conditions, is a key factor in supporting the success of avocado plant propagation. These findings are expected to be a reference for farmers and researchers in optimizing the production of high-quality avocado seedlings.

Introduction: Digital transformation in the agricultural sector has become an urgent need to increase efficiency and productivity, especially in tropical regions that are rich in natural resources but face challenges in adopting technology. Purposed: To analyze the socio-economic factors influencing the adoption of precision agricultural technology by farmers in tropical agro-ecological areas. Research method: A quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design was used in this study, with a sample consisting of crop farmers selected randomly. The independent variables analyzed include age, education, income, land area, access to credit, and participation in farmer groups, while the dependent variable is the level of adoption of precision technology. Results: Logistic regression showed that education, income, access to credit, and participation in farmer groups have a significant impact on the adoption of precision technology. In contrast, land area did not show a significant effect on technology adoption. Access to credit and education had a very strong influence on the adoption decision, followed by income and participation in farmer groups. This study suggests the need for improving access to education, providing adequate financing schemes, and empowering farmer groups to enhance the adoption of precision agricultural technology in tropical areas. Thus, policies supporting precision agriculture technology are expected to improve productivity and sustainability in the region.  

Background: Increasing droughts caused by climate change have significant impacts on the agricultural sector, particularly on household food security. Purposed: To examine farmers' perceptions of the impact of horticultural crop diversification as an adaptation strategy to improve food security in drought-prone areas. Research Method: A quantitative approach using a survey method based on questionnaires distributed to farmers involved in horticultural crop diversification. Household food security was measured using the Household Food Security Index (IKP), and linear regression analysis was used to assess the impact of crop diversification on food security. Results: Horticultural crop diversification can improve household food security, particularly in drought-prone areas. Social, economic, and agricultural resource access factors have a significant impact on food security, with access to agricultural resources having the greatest effect. The validity and reliability tests show that the instruments used in this study are valid and reliable. In addition, the normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests indicate that the data meet the assumptions required for regression analysis. This study concludes that horticultural diversification is an effective adaptation strategy in dealing with the impacts of climate change and improving household food security, with recommendations to increase access to agricultural resources and support crop diversification programs in drought-prone areas.

Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue hemorrhagic fever. Every year it is estimated that 390-400 million dengue infections occur throughout the world, and 270 million of them occur in Asia, including Indonesia. In Indonesia, dengue cases have spread to all provinces. Based on data from the Ministry of Health, in 2022, the number of dengue cases will reach 131,265 cases. The number of dengue fever deaths reached 1,135 cases with 73% occurring in children aged 0-14 years. So far, dengue fever has been prevented using a fogging program with chemicals and supported by the community who also use chemical mosquito repellents. However, using chemical mosquito repellents is very dangerous for human health. This education aims to provide knowledge to the public regarding how to prevent dengue fever by using plants as an alternative mosquito repellent and as a means of preventing dengue fever. The methods used in this education are lectures and assessing knowledge regarding dengue fever and mosquito repellent plants using questionnaires. The results of the education show an increase in public knowledge regarding dengue fever and mosquito-repellent plants with a mean score of 60 to 85. In conclusion, there is a need for education regarding the prevention of dengue fever and the use of mosquito-repellent plants around us.

Ngadilegi Utara Hamlet is one of the hamlets of Plintahan Village, Pandaan District, which has great potential in the agricultural sector. However, global climate change has caused problems that Ngadilegi Utara farmers, especially the Madulegi Farmer Group, must face in cultivating crops. The impact of global climate change can trigger the emergence of plant pest organisms (OPT) which can affect the achievement of quality to meet market demand (consumers). Meanwhile, farmers in Ngadilegi Utara Hamlet still carry out crop cultivation activities on open land which is very potential for pest and disease attacks, and can be disrupted by environmental stress. Cultivation innovation using a screenhouse is one solution to overcome the problem in order to increase plant productivity. The screenhouse was built with a size of 6 x 8 meters using a hollow and galvanized C frame. The roof uses UV plastic with a thickness of 200 microns, the walls use insect net with a density of 50 mesh, and the base is covered using tarpaulin. The construction of the screenhouse in Ngadilegi Utara Hamlet is considered to reduce the attack of plant pest organisms (OPT) and environmental stress factors, so that farmer groups in Ngadilegi Utara Hamlet can increase crop productivity well.

Sektor pertanian, terutama produksi tanaman pangan merupakan pilar perekonomian di Indonesia dengan sentra produksi berada di Nusa Tenggara. Salah satu penyebab penurunan produksi tanaman pangan adalah kekeringan yang disebabkan oleh perubahan iklim. Kekeringan dapat dihitung dengan Standardized Precipitation Index yang merupakan indeks untuk mengukur tingkat keparahan kekeringan suatu wilayah. Tingkat keparahan kekeringan suatu wilayah dapat mencapai nilai tertinggi yang dapat digunakan untuk memperkirakan periode kejadian kekeringan yang terjadi secara berulang. Selanjutnya hasil estimasi tersebut dapat digunakan untuk memperoleh nilai Return Period yang merupakan rata-rata waktu kekeringan yang terjadi dengan menentukan keparahan kekeringan maksimum. Untuk mengantisipasi kekeringan yang terjadi secara berulang, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan identifikasi karakteristik kekeringan dari Return Period berdasarkan profil geografis Nusa Tenggara. Data yang digunakan adalah data observasi curah hujan bulanan selama periode tahun 1985 sampai 2014 yang menggambarkan kejadian kekeringan yang telah terjadi untuk masa sekarang dan data skenario curah hujan bulanan selama periode tahun 2016 sampai 2100 berdasarkan Representative Concentration Pathways yang menggambarkan iklim di masa akan datang. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa Return Period secara geografis memberikan gambaran untuk berbagai wilayah. Pada wilayah karakteristik iklim lebih basah terlihat adanya pengurangan curah hujan, sedangkan wilayah karakteristik iklim lebih kering tidak mengalami pengurangan curah hujan yang signifikan. Secara umum dapat diketahui bahwa beberapa tahun ke depan prediksi kekeringan Pulau Nusa Tenggara menunjukkan tingkat keparahan kekeringan yang tidak terlalu parah dengan periode berulang yang lebih sering terjadi.
