Status Keberlanjutan Wilayah Berbasis Peternakan Sapi Potong Terpadu di Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota – Sumatera Barat

The aim of this research is to analyze the sustainability status by measuring sustainability index of Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota area in five dimensions of sustainability. The research methods was Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) that called Rap-BANGKAPET. Rap-BANGKAPET supported with Leverage and Monte Carlo analysis to determine attributes that affects the index and status of sustainability. Sustainability analysis resulted ecological dimension was less sustained (46.50%), economical dimension was sustained (69.53%), social and cultural dimension was sustained enough (55.14%), infrastructure and technology dimension was less sustained (45.48%), legal and institutional dimension less sustained (47.46%). From 73 attributes which analysed, only 24 attributes will need to settle immediately because could affects sustainability index sensitively, proven with minimum error at 95% confidence level. Prospective analysis is needed to build scenarios to increase sustainability index and sustainability status in future. There is progressive-optimistic scenarios with overall improvement at sensitive attributes could increase sustainability status of area

DETERMINATION OF SELECTION CRITERIA FOR TOMATO (SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM L.) YIELD COMPONENT IN THE LOWLAND BASED ON PATH ANALYSIS

The shifting of tomatoes cultivation from upland to lowland led to a significant decrease of tomatoes production, particularly on tomatoes varieties which are not able to adapt to lowland. Genotypes selection based on appropriate selection criteria is the most effective method to obtain tomatoes genotypes with high production in the lowland. The aim of this study was to determine appropriate selection criteria in the lowland based on high heritability value, high phenotype and genotype  correlation to production component, and character relationship closeness with production component through path analysis. This study used a randomized block design with three replications. Selection criteria was chosen based on high heritability value, significant correlations in phenotype and genotype and its high direct impact on fruit weight per plant which were the number of fruits per plant and weight per fruit characters
