ABSTRACT

The decreasing of constributions Agriculture sector to Regional Gross Domestic Product in West Sumatera for several years has force goverment to doing strategies diversification to solves this problem. One of strategy that could be chosen is by doing development in agritourism. Aims of the research are (1) to identify and to describe potential development of agritourism in west sumatera (by considering potention of natural resources, human reources, and heritage resources), (2) to identify and to describe potention of activity that could be create related to agritourism. This research using survey methode by observing all of agritourism location in West Sumatra. The result show us that there are seven type of agritourism that can be develope in West Sumatera which are (1) Plantation agritourism (2) holticulture agritourism (3) crops agritourism (4) husbandry agritourism (5) fishery agritourism (6) forrestry agritourism (7) Agroindustry agritourism and related to that, there are so many variety of potency activities that could be create to support development in agritourism such as families gathering/children playgroup, fotography, jogging track/bycycling,  horse riding, outbond, plant and harvest experience, traditional heritage attraction, enjoying ecsotic scenary, camping, bird watching etc. The opportunity of agritourism that already serve by nature should be develope and manage profesionally, so it can create adding value for agriculture bussiness itself. If all potention can develope well, it will be the new icon to encourage economic shifment in West Sumatera as precious comodity (mato galeh) in future.

ABSTRACT

Rendang eggs became popular in Payakumbuh Municipality and surrounding areas since 2002. According Supardi (2009) states that rendang egg is a typical food Payakumbuh, West Sumatera. Making rendang eggs originated from the number of eggs are cracked or broken contained in farmers layer chicken. Until now consumer demand for increased egg rendang. Rendang egg producers are still using simple equipment in the manufacturing process. Therefore, it is necessary to study the making cutting tools omelet in the process of making a simple egg rendang still using human labor as a source of driving force. This tool can shorten the cutting time omelet compared with the use of a kitchen knife. Tools produced in this study can already be used to cut the omelet with percentage yield imperfect truncated 45.78% and the percentage of perfectly clipped 50.67%. This tool generates an effective working capacity of 41.17    kg / h, when compared to manual work capacity cuts with a knife that only 13.24 kg / h. The capacity of this tool is much better that about 3.109 times that of manual cutting.

ABSTRACT

There is a strong relation between livelyhood of local indigeneous community and forest resources where they are living on. Development of natural forest into plantation or plantation forest has changed the relationship between livelyhood of local community and the forest. Forest exploitation has made the local people livelyhood disturbed and degraded. This is a qualitative descriptive research at the southern part of Jambi province especially at the district Batang Hari. Primary data had been collected with direct observation and indepth interview with the related stake holders such as: local governments, private company, universities and research institution, NGO, and the local community.   In addition, secondary data was taken from the available existing reports, maps, recommendation. Research data and information were analyzed with triangulation technique taking into account the data validity and reability. The results showed that forest cover in 1982 is 85.47% decreased to 42.84 % in 2014 within the Jambi province. It has been a decrease of forest cover up to 42.63 % within almost 30 years. The remaining forest in Jambi province is conservation forest, national park and green belt, which are also attacked by illegal logging and increased of the plantation crops. From the land cover data in 2011 there is 45.8 % plantation crops dominated mostly by oil palm (up t0 60%). There is a big difference on land ownership between the community (2 ha/ house hold) and the private company (at least 600 ha/ company). Imbalance of this land ownership has triggered conflicts between the local community, i.e. Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) Bathin 9, which have been there for hundred years and the private companies.   The life of 3.000 people of SAD Batin 9 is indangered during this 30 years.

ABSTRACT

Mangosteen comes from the region of Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. It known as the queen of fruit. Various efforts have been done to increase the production of mangosteen to become an export commodity in Indonesia. Many of these plants are attacked by pests and diseases. Pests find in the leaves of which are pests of family Gracillariidae. Each of these pests have a very distinct morphology and forms of damage. Based on it, research aimed to know the shape of each leaf with a mangosteen leafminer pests and its natural enemies. This research was conducted in Bogor regency. The study was conducted on mangosteen seeds. Then calculated the length of line every day until the larvae enter the prapupa. For natural enemies are obtained   by taking the larvae and pupal stages of pests and maintained until the parasitoids appear. Mangosteen leafminer form mines likes straight and   twisted, and mangosteen peelminer is widened. This pests always find in the upper surface of the leaves at the tip and base. Natural enemies are Hymenopteran parasitoids: Chrysocharis sp., AChrysocharis sp., and Tetrastichus sp. (Eulophidae); Elasmus sp. (Elasmidae) and each of the species of the Family Encyrtidae, Braconidae, and Eurytomidae.
