Distribution of Bellucia pentamera Naudin In Kapalo Banda Taram Tourism Area Lima Puluh Kota Regency

Kapalo Banda Taram Tourism Area, Lima Puluh Kota Regency is one of the tropical rain forest areas in West Sumatra which has a high level of biodiversity that can be disturbed due to the presence of invasive plants, one of which is Bellucia pentamera. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of B. pentamera, to determine the effect of the number of Bellucian on the number of non-Bellucian and to determine the effect of distance from the river and light intensity on the distribution of B. pentamera. The research using the belt transect with a plot size of 20x50 m2. Data analysis using the Morisita Index and Simple Linear Regression formulas. The distribution of B. pentamera was quite large with the distribution pattern of B. pentamera sapling strata is clustered, while the tree strata had a uniform distribution pattern. The number of Bellucian individuals affects the presence of non-Bellucian individuals as indicated by a negative effect on species diversity, a decrease in the number of species, high dominance and habitat colonization which will limit resources and space for the growth of other species. The distance from the river affects the distribution of B. pentamera where the closer the distance from the river tends to increase the presence of B. pentamera, while the light intensity does not affect the presence of B. pentamera

Chili is a perishable product which require farmers to maintain its freshness. Rotten chili can not be sold causing the profits to decrease. One way to minimize the damage level of post harvest agricultural products is by applying the Good Handling Practice (GHP) system. The application of GHP will reduce the risk of contamination of fresh chili during handling, packaging, storage and transportation. The objective of this activity is to increase Kebun Berseri farmer’s group knowledge, ability and skill in handling chili post harvest and processing activities. The method of implementing this activity was extension, demonstration and evaluation. Extension activity was conducted using lecturing method. The topic discussed was related to increasing the value added, processing techniques for commercially valuable chilies, packaging techniques and a broader marketing system. Demonstrations were conducted to improve the skills of farmer’s group members in applying Good Handling Practice (GHP) correctly. The results of the evaluation showed that from these activities, farmers gained additional knowledge and new technology related to post-harvest handling and processing of chilies into shredded and chili oil.Chili is a perishable product which require farmers to maintain its freshness.
