FAKTOR-FAKTOR PENENTU EFISIENSI TEKNIS USAHATANI JAGUNG LAHAN KERING: STUDI KASUS DI KABUPATEN KUPANG PROVINSI NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR, INDONESIA

The research has been conducted in Kupang District of Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, focusing of maize dryland farming of small holders. Main problem of maize dryland farming is low productivity and high inefficiency. Objectives of the research are to know small holders maize farming income, factors influence production and technical efficiency of maize dryland farming systems. Questioner survey method was used to collect data. Thecnical Efficiency Effect model of translog production function were used to analyzed data. Results showed that, firstly, farmer’s maize income per ha is low (19,01%) compared to its potential income. Secondly, maize farming production system is mostly efficient that is 74% of total farms. Factors that important to influence maize productivity efficiently are land, seed, labour, and interaction between those factors. Thirdly,factors as sources of maize production inefficiency are farming experience and number of family members. Improving productivity and technical efficiency of small dryland maize farming should be focused on the two last factors in order to enhance famers food security during the year

PENGOLAHAN KERIPIK PARE DAN STIK KELOR PADA KELOMPOK TANI UIMATKULI DAN MOENFEU DI KELURAHAN BATAKTE KECAMATAN KUPANG BARAT KABUPATEN KUPANG

Kelompok Tani Uimatkuli dan Moenfeu secara umum memiliki mata pencaharian sebagai petani yang mengelola lahan pertanian dan bersifat musiman, dengan menanam tanaman palawija dan tanaman hortikultura. Masalah dan kendala utama yang dihadapi petani pada umumnya hasil pertanian di konsumsi begitu saja atau di jual ke pasar tanpa dilakukan pengolahan lanjutan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh minimnya pengetahuan masyarakat dalam memanfaatkannya menjadi berbagai olahan produk dan kurangnya pengetahuan sebagian masyarakat tentang nilai gizi dari produk tersebut. Tujuan pelaksanaan kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan mitra tentang pengolahan pare dan kelor. Pendekatan yang dilakukan adalah pendekatan partisipatif mitra dengan rangkaian kegiatan meliputi penyuluhan dan pelatihan pembuatan keripik pare dan stik kelor. Hasil pengolahan pare dan kelor ini diharapkan dapat dimanfaatkan oleh Kelompok Tani Uimatkuli dan Moenfeu sebagai alternatif untuk meningkatkan gizi keluarga dan menambah nilai jual yang akan berdampak pada peningkatan pendapatan keluarga

STRATEGI PENINGKATAN PENDAPATAN PETANI PADI SAWAH DI KABUPATEN MALAKA

Tujuan penelitian dengan judul Analisis Pendapatan Petani Padi Sawah di Kabupaten Malaka adalah : 1) Mengetahui model kemitraan  pemda  Malaka dalam  meningkatkan pendapatan  petani padi sawah . 2).Mengetahui besar pendapatan petani padi sawah yang menggunakan  sistem tata tanam Jajar Legowo dan sistem non Jajar Legowo di Kabupaten  Malaka. 3).

PENGARUH UMPAN ALAMI DAN UMPAN BUATAN TERHADAP HASIL TANGKAPAN MENGGUNAKAN PANCING LAYANG-LAYANG DI PERAIRAN KABUPATEN MALAKA

Abstrak - Salah satu sumberdaya perikanan ekonomis penting yang dihasilkan oleh perairan Rainawe adalah ikan cendro (Tylosurus sp) yang dikenal dengan nama lokal sebagai ikan Manuk. Alat tangkap yang umum digunakan untuk menangkap ikan cendro ialah jaring insang permukaan, jaring insang hanyut dan pancing tonda; tetapi pancing layang-layang lebih mudah dioperasikan dan menjadi populer di Kabupaten Malaka. Keberhasilan menangkap ikan dengan pancing layang-layang sangat bergantung pada ketersediaan umpan alami dan umpan buatan. Umpan alami dan umpan buatan hanya digunakan pada bagan saat   musim tertentu, hal ini berarti bahwa pancing layang-layang tidak dapat dioperasikan sepanjang waktu setiap bulan.Penelitian ini menggunakan umpan alami dan umpan buatan untuk mengetahui pengaruh terhadap hasil tangkapan pancing layang-layang.Penelitian ini telah dilakukan di perairan Kabupaten Malaka, dengan menggunakan metode eksperimental. Dua jenis umpan yang digunakan, yaitu umpan alami ikan tembang (Sardinella sp) dan umpan buatan yang berupa ikan berbahan karet. Analisis data menggunakan uji t. Hasil tangkapan  selama  penelitian  berjumlah  28  individu  ikan  Cendro  yang  terdiri  dari  21  individu  hasil tertangkap dengan umpan alami dan 7 individu hasil tertangkap dengan umpan buatan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan umpan alami tidak berbeda nyata dengan umpan buatan pada pancing layang-layang untuk menangkap ikan cendro di perairan Kabupaten Malaka. Kata Kunci : Pancing Layang-Layang, Umpan Alami, Umpan Buatan, Kabupaten Malaka   Abstract - One of the important economical fisheries resources produced by Rainawe waters is cendro fish (Tylosurus sp), known locally as Manuk fish. Common fishing tools used to catch Cendro fish are surface gill nets, drift gill nets and trolling fishing rods; but kite fishing is easier to operate and has become popular in the district of Malacca.The success of catching fish with kite fishing is very dependent on the availability of natural and artificial baits. Natural bait and artificial bait are only used on charts during certain seasons, which means that kite fishing cannot be operated all the time every month. This study uses natural bait and artificial bait to find out the effect on the catches of kite fishing.This research has been carried out in the waters of Malacca regency, using experimental methods. Two types of bait are used, namely natural bait Tembang fish (Sardinella sp) and artificial bait in the form of fish made from rubber. Data analysis using t test. Catches during the study were 28 Cendro fish consisting of 21 caught by natural bait and 7 caught by artificial bait. The results of the analysis showed that the use of natural bait was not significantly different from the artificial bait on kite fishing to catch cendro fish in the waters of Malacca regency.

POTENSI VEGETASI PADA EMBUNG DI DESA BANFANU KABUPATEN TIMOR TEGAH UTARA SEBAGAI PENDUKUNG KETERSEDIAAN DAN KONSERVASI AIR

Nowdays, the necesity of the water go up on every sectors, so that it caused the water go down because of the management is not good enough. The purpose of this study is to know the kinds of the vegetation that found in the haze, that can be benefit to suport the water availibility and conservation, to know the potency of the vegetacy as the water availibility and conservation an also to know the society role to support it. This study is started from December 2020 until March 2021 placed in haze Banfanu village, North Central Timor regency. This study is used the qualitative and quantitave method. To collect the data and analysing the writer used an interview, observation and documentation. The determination estimasy data analysing is used point center quarter method (PCQM) to count point index value (PIV), the variety index shanon winner and averrage index. This study is made on twelve simpling with the vegetation data that is pick out from the tree, pilar and seedling. The result of this study is indicated that there are 28 species in the haze at the Banfanu village that consist of 16 families from 404 individu is devided in seedling, pilar and tree. The vegetation that could be benefit the water availibility and concervation is Switenia mahagoni, Casuarina junghuniana, Syzygum aqueum, Bambusa vulgaris, Ficus benjamina, Pandanus dubius Spreng, Paraserianthes falcataria (L) Nielsen, Anacardium occidentae L, Psidium Guajava L, Timonius sericeus (Deft) K. Schum, Syzygium cimunu L. The vegetation that indicate to keep up the water avalibility concervation is Bambusa vulgaris, the vicus kind is switenia mahogani, and iti is supported by the data analysis is higher index point value to tree strata is tectona grandis with IPV 74.50% and the lower IPV is Musa paradisiaca with IPV 1.80%. The higher point value for the pilar is Gliricidia sepium with IPV 92.13% and the lower is Vachellia leucophloea with IPV 2.99%, the high IPV for seedling is Tectona grandis with IPV 46.80% and the lower is switenia mahogani L and Sesbiana grandiflora with IPV 0.90%. The variety index value Shanon Winner and the averrage index categorize is lower. The vegetacy kind in the haze of Banfanu village categorize lower variety vegetacy, bad productivities, the condition is not rateable and lower pressure, but the ratebale index happend because of the domination on the kind certain species and in generally the kind of plant that growth up is limited. In other hand, the knowledge of the society is not enough to keep the water availibility and concervation and also the vegetacy is a polemic to the society
