    Effect of sucker weight and seedling site on the growth of sago seedlings (Metroxylon sago Rottb.) in Papua
    (IOP Publishing, 2021-01-01) Soplanit, Alberth; Rumbarar, Merlin K.; Beding, Petrus; IOP
    This study aims to obtain sucker weight and appropriate seedling site as a source of sago seeds by using seedling techniques in polybags to improve seed quality on sago cultivation. The experiment used a factorial design arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. Factor A, namely sucker weight, consisted of <999 g, 1000-1499 g, 15001999 g and > 2000 g. Factor B is the seedling site, consisting of laying seeds in the field, greenhouse and paranet of 60%. The results of the study showed that there was no interaction between the sucker weight combined with the seedling site, but the sucker weight had a significant effect on the number of rachis and the number of primary roots per plant and the percentage of life seedlings. Higher rachis growth was 3.8 obtained from medium-sized sucker weights (1000-1499 g and 1500-1999 g) and the highest number of primary roots was 41.3. It is obtained at sucker weights of 1000-1499 g. Meanwhile, the higher percentage of seedling survival was obtained at medium to large sucker weights of 66.3-71.0%. Thus, multiplication of sago seeds using medium-sized sucker on polybag media is highly suggested

    System Integration of Paddy-Cattle in Wetland Areas of Merauke Regency Papua
    (International journal of Agriculture Innovation and Research, 2018-06-23) Tiro, Batseba MW; Usman; Beding, Petrus; Kementrian Pertanian
    Abstract – Aside from being a rice development area, Merauke Regency is also a center for beef cattle development. The more intensive the use of land for agriculture, the dependence of livestock feed supply from agricultural byproducts/waste will be greater Commodity of rice and beef cattle is very potential to be developed in Merauke Regency, because in addition to producing main products (rice and meat) also produce side products (straw, bran, manure). The cattle system integration system of paddy-cattle is one of the alternatives in increasing the production of rice, meat, milk, and increasing farmers' income. This study aims to evaluate the utilization of fermented straw fodder for beef cattle and the utilization of compost from livestock for the growth of rice crops. The results of the study indicate that paddy-cattle integration can increase farmer income by 68.42% with 1 ha and 11 cattle planting area. The integration of livestock system of paddycattle gives benefits to farmers, because : 1). Agricultural waste (rice straw and rice bran) is available and can be utilized as a source of quality feed through the fermentation process to reduce feed costs, and 2). Waste of livestock that has not been utilized optimally can be utilized as organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility and also as a source of income.
