Abstract East Java Province is one of vegetable-producing areas; however, performance of vegetable production has not been identified. The performance will be an important indicator of regional agricultural economic development of the region. This paper aims to provide farm analyses of leading vegetable farming in East Java Province. East Java Province is one of the potential production areas for vegetables. Secondary data were collected from the Agricultural District Services of Malang, Blitar and Kediri in 2018. Five vegetables namely chilies (big and small), eggplant, yard-long bean, and tomato, which were considered leading commodities in the region, were selected for these analyses. A factor share approach, which is commonly used for financial analysis of farming systems, was employed in this study. Other financial analytical approaches were also used to alternate selection criteria. As a deterministic approach used in this study, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the profitability of each vegetable commodity. The results show that chili and tomato are more labor-intensive, at which suitable for regions with an abundance of rural labor. Each vegetable has a positive profit, and thus recommended grow vegetables to increase households’ income. Big-chili is superior in terms of absolute profit, and it is recommended that big-chili can be used as the main crop. In terms of R/C-ratio and factor share, eggplant is superior, it is recommended that eggplant can be used as an alternative crop.

AbstractWe analyzed the productivity levels of smallholder farms in northern Thailand practicing different ‘clean and safe’ vegetable farming systems or conventional vegetable (CV) production. ‘Clean and safe’ farmers are categorized into three groups based on their use of synthetic chemicals: organic, pesticide-free and safe-use. Farm-level data on vegetable production were collected from random samples of farms operating these farming systems. A standard stochastic production frontier model and a metafrontier model were estimated for each system to obtain estimates of technical efficiency (TE) with respect to their cohorts, metatechnology ratios (MTRs, showing the extent of technology gaps between farming systems) and overall productivity measures. Productivity levels were found to vary moderately between farming systems. ‘Clean and safe’ farms achieved a higher mean TE score than conventional farms, indicating a more efficient use of inputs in producing a certain level of output within their system. However, their MTRs were significantly lower than those of conventional farmers, indicating greater production technology constraints because of the need to conform to strict guidelines. All four farming systems had at least one farmer who could overcome the technological constraints to achieve the highest possible output regardless of the technology used. Effective assistance providers were found to be crucial for farmers to achieve high productivity in the organic farming system. Improvements are needed to raise low productivity levels through technology transfer, value chain improvement and farmer capacity in production and marketing. The required improvement strategies differ among farming systems.

Economic Study of Leaf Vegetable Farming and Vegetable Marketing Channel Systems in Ende Regency.This study aims to conduct an economic study of leaf vegetable farming and vegetable marketing channel systems in Ende Regency. This research was carried out in several sub-districts which were the center of vegetable production in the traditionally cultivated Regency of Ende. The sub-districts that were the object of research were Kelimutu Subdistrict, Lepembusu Kelisoke, Detusoko, Wolojita. The observation variables in this study were farming income, farming costs, economic life of farming, and vegetable distribution systems. Variable analysis using financial analysis was used to determine the criteria for evaluating investment feasibility of vegetable farming. This financial analysis uses NPV and B / C Ratio. Based on the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the B / C ratio is 12.6, which means that the vegetable farms of Ende District respondent farmers deserve to continue to be cultivated. While the NPV value is Rp. 20,912,730.34. Vegetable distribution of leaves of respondent farmers in Ende district using a direct sales system to retailers on the market. Based on the values ??obtained, the vegetable farms of farmers in Ende Regency are worthy to continue.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of GRSV infecting tomatillo and eggplant, and it is the first report of GRSV infecting pepper in the United States. This first identification of GRSV-infected crop plants in commercial fields in Palm Beach and Manatee Counties demonstrates the continuing geographic spread of the virus into additional vegetable production areas of Florida. This information indicates that a wide range of solanaceous plants is likely to be infected by this emerging viral pathogen in Florida and beyond. Accepted for publication 27 June 2011.

SUMMARYAhipa is a legume of great interest for the production of raw materials (starch, sugar, oil and proteins) for industrial use. Its yield potential and ability to fix atmospheric N2 in association with rhizobia makes it an attractive option for low input agriculture systems. At present, it is cultivated on a very small scale as a food crop in a few South American countries. Little information is available on symbiotic N2 fixation in ahipa and no work has been performed on strain selection for inoculant production. Soils in southwest Europe are devoid of specific rhizobia able to nodulate on ahipa. Selecting rhizobia for symbiotic effectiveness from a collection led to the isolation of strains which provided greater shoot growth and N content under controlled conditions. In the field, inoculation at sowing with the selected strains increased significantly seed and tuberous root yield and seed protein content. The amount of N2 fixed, estimated by 15N natural abundance, reached 160–260 kg N ha−1. In previous work, ahipa appeared to be a promising alternative crop for the production of industrial raw materials. The results of the present study showed a yield increase in tuberous roots and seeds when applying effective rhizobia inoculants. Furthermore, a positive soil N balance was left after its cultivation making ahipa even more interesting for sustainable farming systems.

Vegetable production in urban gardens of Ouagadougou contributes to food security, but water for irrigation is often of low quality. This is particularly acute if irrigation water is taken from wastewater polluted channels. This study aimed at (i) verifying to what degree irrigation water quality is correlated with contamination of lettuce with Escherichia coli, total coliforms, and Salmonella spp., and (ii) assessing effects of post-harvest handling on pathogen development during the trade chain. We tested pathogen removal efficiency on lettuce by applying post-harvest washing. Irrigation water of production areas in Ouagadougou (n = 10) showed a mean E. coli load of 2.1 × 105 CFU 100 mL−1. In 60% of the cases, irrigation water did not meet the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO) for safe irrigation water, and in 30% of the cases, irrigation water was contaminated with Salmonella spp. Loads of total coliforms on lettuce leaves ranged from 2.9 × 103 CFU g−1 to 1.3 × 106 CFU g−1, while E. coli averaged 1.1 × 102 CFU g−1. Results on post-harvest handling revealed that microbial loads increased along the trade chain. Overall, half of all lettuce samples (n = 60) were tested positively for Salmonella spp. The experiment showed that appropriate post-harvest handling could prevent the increase of total coliforms.
