In Indonesia, maize has replaced rice as the staple food. However, many farmers fail to achieve optimal maize growth rates and yields because the maize planting techniques developed by them depend only on their knowledge and understanding of the relevant sciences relevant to maize planting. To determine the effect of applying different spacing and planting depths on the growth and yield of maize was the objective of this study. A factorial RAK model with two factors was used in this study. There were three levels of planting distance notation (J) in this RAK: 70 x 25 cm for Planting Distance 1, 70 x 40 cm for Planting Distance 2, and 75 x 50 cm for Planting Distance 3. There were also four levels of planting depth notation (K): 3 cm for Depth 1, 5 cm for Depth 2, 7 cm for Depth 3, and 8 cm for Depth 4. The results showed that it could really affect the growth and yield of corn at the correlation of spacing 75 x 50 cm and depth 5 cm. Farm women also contribute to this activity with their experience and skills because the higher the presence of farm women who contribute will make the results of corn farming higher.

This research aims to analyze the comparison of lowland rice harvest costs between traditional methods and the use of combine harvester technology in Padang Siring Village, Seginim District, South Bengkulu Regency. A total of 56 farmers were research respondents, consisting of 28 farmers using combine harvesters and 28 farmers using traditional methods. Primary data was collected through observation and interviews, while secondary data came from related agency documents. The research results show that the average cost of harvesting using traditional methods reaches IDR 2,560,000, while the cost of harvesting using a Combine Harvester is IDR 1,865,000, with a cost difference of IDR 695,000. Combine Harvester provides higher cost efficiency because it only requires IDR 500/kg for production wages and harvest time is shorter, namely one day for one hectare. In contrast, traditional methods require more labor and time, so they are more expensive. Reasons why farmers choose traditional methods include muddy land conditions, narrow rice fields, and inconsistent harvests. This research concludes that the use of a Combine Harvester is more efficient in terms of cost and time, but its implementation is still hampered by land conditions. It is hoped that this study can become a reference in encouraging the adoption of appropriate technology in the agricultural sector to support sustainable food self-sufficiency.

This study compares the economic resilience of Indonesia and Thailand in agricultural commodities such as rice, sugar, mangosteen, and mango. Both countries are agricultural countries in Southeast Asia and each makes a major contribution to the production and export of these commodities. Secondary data from government reports, international organizations, and previous research were used in a qualitative descriptive study. The results of the analysis show that Thailand excels in rice and mango production due to the use of advanced agricultural technology and efficient export strategies. However, Indonesia has great potential in the sugar and mangosteen industries, but faces challenges in production efficiency and competition in the international market. Through diversification policies and technological innovation, Thailand can adapt to the challenges of climate change and market price fluctuations. In contrast, Indonesia needs to improve agricultural infrastructure, increase supply chain efficiency, and create policies that help smallholder farmers. To improve economic resilience in these sectors, the study suggests increased regional cooperation and investment in technology.

The potential is 67 tons of grain or RP. Rp. 536,000,000 which can be used for agricultural zakat in Nogosari Village. 2. The Nogosari Village community's awareness of the implementation of zakat is quite good, but their understanding of agricultural zakat is still low, so they share some of their harvest as gratitude for the results they have obtained.

Acute respiratory infection, or ARI, is an acute inflammation that most often occurs in children. It is caused by infection with microorganisms, bacteria or viruses or without or accompanied by inflammation of the lung parenchyma (David, 2019). Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 shows that lower respiratory tract infections reduce life expectancy by 2.09 years in sufferers (WHO, 2019). The group most at risk is toddlers. This research uses a case study approach. Participant 1 was a three-year-old child patient who underwent ARI, data collection using interviews, observation, and physical examination. The tools and instruments used in this research were eucalyptus aromatherapy (eucalyptus oil), warm water and a family nursing care assessment format. After the data was collected, data analysis was carried out using the nursing process. The intervention emphasized airway clearance, but it was not adequate, so Eucalyptus aromatherapy was given for three days. The final evaluation was reached on the 3rd day, and the problem was resolved. The evaluation results showed that giving Eucalyptus aromatherapy to a three-year-old child who had respiratory problems was very effective so that on the third day, the child no longer experienced shortness of breath, the secretions were no longer there, and breathing became more accessible. Conclusions and suggestions for research sites should be made on how to apply eucalyptus aromatherapy to ARI to help expel secretions and relieve breathing.

This study aims to determine and evaluate the Performance of the Food Crops Agriculture Service in the 2018-2023 Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution Program (Case Study of Rice Farmers, in Seso Village, Ngada Regency). Using a qualitative descriptive approach with Atik Septi Winarsih's theory and Robbins' theory which highlights Responsiveness, Responsibility, Accountability, Punctuality, Work Commitment. The study involved 12 Informants.The results showed that in the subsidized fertilizer distribution program, employees of the Food Crop Agriculture Office of Ngada Regency have not carried out their duties in accordance with the needs of farmers on agricultural land, this is due to communication deficiencies such as in terms of providing infrastructure, fertilizer stocks, and the problem of changing fertilizer price increases and in terms of special training in accessing the E-RDKK system. One of the factors that hinders access to this system is that farmers do not understand the use of the E-RDKK system through android phones and the lack of knowledge that farmers have. The Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office has also not provided sufficient facilities and infrastructure on farms because there are many delays in distribution that take more time than the specified time. Services at the Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office have not been in accordance with the implementation in the field so that farmers' needs have experienced delays in service. Another form of participation that supports the sustainability of the subsidized fertilizer distribution program is by conducting socialization activities. The form of participation that is carried out is contrary to community expectations where the completion time is delayed from the time that should be determined.
