Growol is a traditional food made from cassava and processed through soaking/spontaneous fermentation. Growol has the potential as a prebiotic because of its resistant starch content. Currently, growol processing uses the local cassava variety of Martapura. It is cooked by steaming, whereas there are many cassava varieties, and the cooking method also affects the growol characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical changes of cassava with different varieties and cooking methods during growol processing to obtain growol with the potential as a prebiotic. This research was conducted in a completely randomized design with two factors, namely cassava varieties ("Ketan", "Lanting," and "Mentega") and cooking methods with a variation of: steaming, autoclaving, and pressure cooker. The samples were analyzed for their moisture, starch, and amylose content at each processing stage. Growol with high amylose content was evaluated for its prebiotic index using probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus. The results showed that processing growol with an autoclave of Lanting variety produced a high amylose content of 11.65 ± 2.33% with a prebiotic index of 0.16 ± 0.02.

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.

For thousands of years, the Dayak Ngaju people in Central Kalimantan have practiced a traditional rice cultivation system called Manugal, which involves planting rice directly on the ground without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. This method relies on rainwater and natural materials, and it is guided by the teachings of the Kaharingan belief system, recognizing rice as a divine manifestation, and adhering to the traditional calendar. However, the Green Revolution and the globalization of modern food production, initiated in the late 1960s, introduced intensive agriculture, chemical inputs, and high-yielding crop varieties. This modernization marginalized local traditions, including Manugal, in Central Kalimantan. This qualitative descriptive case study examines the background of the Green Revolution and its impact on Manugal, the ecological consequences of agricultural modernization, and the comparison between Manugal and modern monoculture farming systems. The study aims to propose strategies for maintaining the Manugal tradition and achieving ecological sustainability.

Coffee is an agricultural product that not only functions as a fresh drink, but also comes from an annual plant. Indonesia is known as one of the largest countries in coffee production in the world after Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia in 2017. There are two of the most commonly known varieties of coffee, namely arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) and robusta coffee (Coffea canephora). Due to the similarities between the two types of coffee beans, many people, especially those who are not experienced in the world of coffee, have difficulty telling the difference. Therefore, we need a tool that can help overcome this problem, such as smartengine which can classify arabica and robusta coffee beans. The development of this smartengine follows the Software Developer Life Cycle method using a spiral approach which involves several cycle stages. The first stage involves creating a deep learning model using the Deep Learning Life Cycle method which consists of several steps. In the second stage, deep learning models are provided as a service that can be used by other applications through application programming interfaces (APIs). For smartengine implementation, Google Colab with Keras API and TensorFlow backend is used. This smartengine has the ability to detect coffee beans and also allows the retrain process if needed. Testing is carried out using the blackbox method, where the feature functionality of the smartengine is tested. This research succeeded in developing a smartengine that can detect Arabica and Robusta coffee beans.
