EFFECTIVITY AND PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION OF THE BIOLOGICAL POLLINATOR OF Apis mellifera L. IN TORAJA COFFEE PLANTATION MONOCULTURE

Plant flowers and another part of plant in the form of nectar, ekstranutfialnectar, resin and or pollen were abundant and still wasted in the Toraja coffee plantation monoculture Coffea arabica Usda. Apis mellifera L. honey bees is known as one of biology pollinator is easily manipulated and can convert plant flowers into products of high economic value, but its effectivity as a biology pollinator, unknown in monoculture plantations Toraja coffee C. arabica Usda. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and product production of biology pollinator of the A. mellifera L. honey bees in Toraja coffee monoculture plantations. Analysis of data to distinguish between treatments (pollination with bees) with no bees used testing the equality of two average t-distribution. The results showed that the the management of A. mellifera L. honey bees as biology pollinator in Toraja Coffee plantations C. arabica Usda , is very effective in improving the quantity amounted to 18.75 % and quality amounted 6.4 % of the coffee fruit production per season. The amount of production diversification of A. mellifera L. honey bees in Toraja coffee plantations are 5 types of products with an average amount of production, ie 0.85 kg of honey, bee pollen 0.51 kg, 0.37 kg beeswax, propolis 0.21 kg and 0.15 kg of bee venom per colony per flowers season.Key words: effectivity, product diversification and biology pollinator

Assessment of Forest Road Network Alternatives for Pine Resin Extraction

Pine resin, one type of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), is important for Indonesia.   In addition to its high economic value, pine resin also has bright domestic and international market prospects.  Utilization of commercial pine resin has been carried out in Indonesia, but the forest road network required for extracting pine resin has not been specifically planned. To date, the planning and selection of forest road network  in  forest management in Indonesia are intended only for the extraction of  timber products and have not been integrated with the use of NTFPs; also,  they have not considered the economic, ecological, and social aspects a whole. Planning and selection of forest road network have focused more on economic aspects only. This study aimed at planning and assessing the forest road network for extracting pine resin by considering the economic, ecological, and social criteria.  Decision-making method used  to select the best  forest road network was utility analysis.  Indicator used  included road length, road density, a correction factor for manual carrying of pine resin, pine resin carrying distance, road construction cost, and productivity of carrying and extracting pine resin. The result of  the utility analysis indicates that an  alternative of forest road network for extracting pine resin has no the whole best indicators, but it has the highest utility value.  This study suggested that the use of the utility analysis help the decision makers to selects process for forest  road network alternative easily and rapidly
