Policy of providing chemical fertilizers at low prices through the subsidies continue to increase every year, causing inefficient use of fertilizers by farmers and in turn lower the productivity of the land. The study was conducted in the province of West  Java and Central Java in 2012, aims to (1) evaluate the costs and revenues of non commercial organic fertilizer and (2) analyzing farm income and the factors that affect  rice  production.  Total  farmer  respondents  interviewed  60  farmers  with  30 farmers  who  earn  program  Organic  Fertilizer  Processing  Unit  (UPPO)  and  30 farmers who do not follow the program UPPO. To determine the effect of the use of organic fertilizers used in rice cultivation model of linear production function CobbDouglas and financial analysis or benefit cost ratio (B/C). The results showed good organic fertilizer production enterprises in the form of solid or liquid organic fertilizer is quite profitable. Farmers earn net income of  Rp.  83-112 per kg of organic fertilizer in 6 weeks. The amount of chemical fertilizers used on semi-organic rice farming is reduced  by  approximately  50%  of  the  amount  of  chemical  fertilizers  used  in  nonorganic farming. The use of labor in  semi-rice  organic  farming  is  higher than nonorganic farming, especially at  the  stage of cultivation and weeding. R/C ratio of semiorganic rice farming is greater than non-organic rice which indicates that the semiorganic rice farming more profitable financially.

Plant-to-plant variation for corn (Zea mays L.) forage-quality traits has not been adequately described. A field study was conducted for 2 yr, using hybrids with a range in maturation, each grown at two sites. Precipitation and temperature deviated considerably from normal in both growing seasons. Ten consecutive plants were harvested from each plot and separately analyzed for forage-quality traits. Differences among the forage-quality variables were consistent for the hybrid maturity groups, and data were pooled for analysis. When the product of variance × total cost was minimized, sample size was not greatly different for any of the measured variables when the cost ratio was low. If the cost per plot is 10 times that of the cost per plant, the product of variance × total cost is minimized at 9 plants plot−1 for whole-plant digestibility. When detection limits were considered but not costs, whole-plant digestibility was the least variable trait and grain proportion was the most variable trait among the traits measured. If a detectable difference of 20 g kg−1 in whole-plant digestibility between hybrids is desired, it would require sampling 4 plants plot−1, while a difference of 20 g kg−1 in stover digestibility could not be detected with an infinite number of plants per plot. Grain proportion explained a relatively small portion of the variation in whole-plant digestibility and was better related to stover-quality traits. Key words: Corn, maize, forage quality, variation, stover, grain

Profitability is a very important element for a business or company. Profitability ratios are usually used to see how the effectiveness and efficiency of a business in the use of venture capital. The factors that affect the level of profitability in this study are the cost of production, production, sales and profits. This research discusses how to compare the profitability of organic and inorganic rice farming. The analysis was conducted on 13 samples of organic rice farmers and 30 samples of inorganic farmers domiciled in Lombok Kulon Village, Bondowoso Regency. This study uses two types of profitability, namely Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Return On Capital Employed (ROCE). The test uses the Independent sample t-test and the Mann Whitney Test, depending on the results of the normality test data. The test results show that there are differences in the level of profitability of organic rice farming and inorganic rice farming. The test results with the statistical difference test also showed that there were significant differences in the comparison of the profitability levels in the two agricultural systems. Thus it can be concluded that there are significant differences in the level of profitability of Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) in organic and inorganic rice farming systems. Keywords: Profitability Ratio, NPM, ROCE, Organic Rice and AnOrganic Rice.

The area of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) production in the Eastern Plains of Nepal is decreasing every year due to several factors, including increasing cost of cultivation, lower yield, lower and delay payment, insect and diseases problems. A study was conducted to analyze the productivity and profitability of sugarcane production in this region, where, a randomly selected 80 sugarcane farmers from Sunsari and Morang districts were administered with the questionnaire to collect data between 2017 and 2018. Results of the study revealed that farmers were male dominant (67.50%) with average landholdings of 1.30 hectares (ha). The dominant age group in the farming community was 51 to 60 years and 58.75% of farmers had a primary level of education. The sugarcane production in the study area was profitable with benefit and cost ratio (B/C) 1.38 and 1.34 for main and ratoon crops, respectively. The net income was NRs. 91369.70 and NRs. 36065.00 for main and ratoon crops, respectively. The coefficient of multiple determinations (R2) was 0.79, which means that variations in the explanatory variable explained 79.80% of the variation in the dependent variable. Lower productivity, unscientific price fixation, and delay payment of the sugarcane by the sugar mills were the major problems found in the study area. Labor expenses constitute half of the total cost of cultivation, so mechanizations are needed to lower the cost and increase the profit. Co-coordination among different stakeholders, including the government entity, is required for scientific pricing and sustainable production of sugarcane.
