Marginal coastal land has not been able to be utilized optimally by communities around the coast for agriculture. So far, coastal sand land has limited management and is considered to be poor. With the limited beach sand land, efforts need to be made to increase its productivity by providing soil improvement materials and by the right way to fertilize. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of applying soil amendments and doses of TSP fertilizer to marginal coastal land. The location of this research was carried out in Sidorejo Village, Langsa Lama District, Langsa City with an altitude of ± 10 m above sea level. This research was structured using a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK), as the first factor, namely the type of soil amendment material P1 (husk charcoal), P2 (wood charcoal), P3 (zeolite) and P4 (clay), the second factor was the level of TSP fertilizer dose, namely D0 (0 kg)/ha), D1 (100 kg/ha), D2 (150 kg/ha), D3 (200 kg/ha) and D4 (250 kg/ha). Data were analyzed using anova (F experiment) from the 5% and 1% levels. If the treatment has a real effect, then continue with the BNJ test at the 5% level. The research results showed that the type of soil amendment material had a very significant effect on the parameters of number of branches and number of pods per plant. The best results were found in the soil amendment type P2 (husk charcoal). And the dose of TSP fertilizer has a very significant effect on the number of pods per plant. The best results were obtained on D4 (25 g/polybag).

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 research aims to analyze the palm oil agribusiness partnership pattern implemented by PT. Bengkulu Sustainable Palm Oil in Kedurang Ilir District, South Bengkulu, along with its impact on farmer partners. The research method was carried out descriptively with a qualitative approach, using primary data through in-depth interviews and secondary data from related documents.

Bengkulu Sawit Lestari acts as the core that guides and purchases the results of plasma farmers. The conflicts that occurred were relatively low, with the majority of partner farmers stating that there were no physical or significant conflicts. From an economic aspect, partner farmers produce an average of 4,038 kg of FFB per month, with a selling price of Rp. 1,948 per kilogram, resulting in net income of Rp. 5,512,443 per month after deducting costs. In conclusion, this agribusiness partnership succeeded in increasing farmer productivity and income, despite deficiencies in training and financial reporting by the company. It is recommended that companies and farmers jointly write written sanctions in agreements, increase training, and provide monthly financial reports to strengthen partnership relations.

The t-test showed that all variables influenced farmers' interest in cultivating patchouli because they had a t count that was greater than the t table (X1 = 7.895, X2 = 3.556, X3 = -3.708, X4 = 10.347> t table 1.81246). from the results of the f test, it shows that the four variables (X1, X2, X3, X4) have a simultaneous effect on the dependent variable (Y) with a calculated f value of 45.345> f table 3.48. The determination coefficient test (R Square) shows an R Square value of 0.948, meaning that the independent variables can explain the dependent variable by 94.8%.

Indonesia as an agricultural country rich in natural resources, relies heavily on agriculture to support its economy, especially in Central Java where the majority of the population are farmers. However, many rural areas, such as Tegalrandu village in Srumbung, Magelang, face challenges due to limited agricultural knowledge and resources. This study aims to empower farmers in Tegalrandu by improving their agricultural practices through the use of compost as a sustainable fertilizer. This study uses the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) methodology, which focuses on local strengths and assets to catalyze community-driven development. Participants included local farmers who were engaged through a series of workshops and hands-on training in compost production using household waste and natural activators. The results showed that farmers successfully produced high-quality compost, leading to improved soil health and crop yields. In addition, the community showed increased knowledge and confidence in sustainable agricultural practices. This study underscores the importance of participatory approaches in agricultural development, highlighting the potential of composting to not only increase crop production but also foster economic resilience among rural farmers. The implications extend beyond local agricultural practices, suggesting that similar empowerment strategies can be applied in other rural contexts to promote sustainability and community development.
