Agriculture Development

This research study aimed to identify good agricultural practices followed by the awardee farmers of Thiruvananthapuram and Pathanamthitta districts of Kerala. Altogether, 70 awardee farmers, 35 each from the two districts constituted the sample. This research was to analyze the main good agricultural practices followed by awardee farmers in major crops of Kerala viz. coconut, rice, banana and vegetables. The major constraints faced by these farmers and the strategies to overcome it were also studied in this work. The results showed that majority of the awardee farmers followed good agricultural practices like application of a mixture of sand, salt and ash in the pit before transplanting of coconut, soaking of seeds in fresh water in jute sacks for one day and keeping wet seeds for three days for germination in the case of rice, covering of banana bunches with dried banana leaves to increase bunch size and spraying neem oil -garlic emulsion (2%) to control aphids of chilli. The main constraint faced by the awardee farmers was pest and wild animals attack.

Good agricultural practices (GAPs) and good handling practices (GHPs) encompass the general procedures that growers, packers and processors of fresh fruits and vegetables should follow to ensure the safety of their product. GAPs usually deal with preharvest practices (i.e., in the field), while GHPs cover postharvest practices, including packing, storage and shipping. This factsheet covers GAPs relating to packing operation sanitation. There are seven other Florida Cooperative Extension factsheets in the ‘Food Safety on the Farm’ series that focus on specific aspects of the GAPs program and how they relate to Florida crops and practices. Under the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), GAPs are a foundation of the Produce Safety Rule (PSR). Other than for round tomatoes in Florida (T-GAPs regulation), GAPs have mainly been a voluntary program. Additionally the PSR mandates all non-exempt operations to follow these new FSMA federal guidelines (6), but all exempt commodities and for those producers exporting to foreign countries, GAPs may still be required. Both the mandatory PSR and GAPs aim to reduce the foodborne illness burden associated with produce.

Raw Poultry

Data regarding Salmonella on raw poultry are very limited in China. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Salmonella on raw poultry at the retail level in six provinces and two national cities in China. Whole chicken carcasses (n = 1,152) were collected from three types of retail markets (large, small, and wet). All samples were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella by using the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety Inspection Service method. Of 1,152 chicken samples, overall Salmonella prevalence was 52.2%. The highest prevalence was observed in Guangxi Province (65.3%), next in Guangdong Province (64.6%), and then in Beijing (63.9%), Shaanxi Province (50.7%), Henan Province (47.9%), Shanghai (44.4%), and Fujian Province (42.4%), and lowest prevalence was observed in Sichuan Province (38.9%). Salmonella prevalence was significantly different among the six provinces and two national cities. Salmonella prevalence was highest in the wet markets (54.4%) compared with the large markets (50.3%) and the small markets (52.1%), but differences were not significant (P > 0.05). Good manufacturing practices, good agricultural practices, and hazard analysis critical control point systems for Salmonella control in poultry production at the farm, processing, and retail level should be implemented.

Abstract This study aims to determine and analyze the GAP components that have implemented by red fruit farmers. The method used in the study was a survey method of plant cultivation. The multistage random sampling method used to taking sampling sampling. The area selected for the study area uses the land ownership startification. Each village was randomly sampled as many as 10 farmers, the total number of which was 30 sampled farmers. The results showed that the farmers in the Taniwel District had not fully implemented the GAP guidelines in the cultivation of red fruit plants which included seeding methods, maintenance and post-harvest processing. This is due to the absence of outreach or counseling from the relevant Dinas regarding the GAP guidelines for red fruit plants.

Good Agricultural Practices

Desa Sibetan yang terletak di Kecamatan Bebandem Karangasem, telah terkenal sebagai sentra penghasil salak di Bali. Tanaman salak sudah diusahakan secara turun-temurun oleh hampir semua penduduk dan sudah tentu telah menjadi bagian penting bagi perekonomian dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Disamping terkenal dengan ikon salaknya, Desa Sibetan juga memiliki panorama alam yang indah, udara sejuk dan segar, aksesibilitasnya mudah dicapai, dan memiliki berbagai jenis keanekaragaman hayati salak sehingga sangat potensial dikembangkan sebagai obyek agrowisata berbasis salak. Kegiatan pengabdian dengan skim Program Pengembangan Desa Mitra (PPDM) ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengkoleksi plasma nutfah salak yang ada di Desa Sibetan, kemudian dikonservasi menjadi Kebun Botani plasma nutfah untuk mendukung Desa Sibetan sebagai obyek agrowisata berbasis salak.  Kegiatan dilakukan dari April 2017-September 2018, menggunakan pendekatan masyarakat sasaran diajak berkerja bersama-sama (working with community) dan bekerja sambil belajar (learning by doing) melalui penerapan metode Entrepreneurship Capacity Building (ECB) dan Technology Transfer (TT). Jenis kegiatan yang dilakukan yaitu identifikasi dan koleksi keragaman kultivar plasma nutfah salak, pelatihan dan transfer teknologi pembuatan bibit, penanaman hasil koleksi menjadi kebun botani plasma nutfah (arboretum), dan pemeliharaan arboretum dengan menerapkan Good Agricultural Practices/GAP. Dari kegiatan telah berhasil diidentifikasi dan dikoleksi 12 jenis plasma nutfah salak yang ada Desa Sibetan, yaitu Salak Bingin, Gondok, Getih/Merah, Gula Pasir, Injin, Kelapa, Nangka, Nenas, Pade, Penyalin, Turis/Mangku, dan Sudamala. Bibit salak hasil koleksi dikonservasi dalam satu areal khusus menjadi kebun botani plasma nutfah atau arboretum, kemudian dipelihara dengan menerapkan cara budidaya yang baik dan benar bersama peserta.   Kata kunci: agrowisata, arboretum, PPDM, salak, Sibetan.
