Corn is a superior crop and its production centers are in the Grobogan and Pati Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. This plant is partly cultivated in farm fields and forest land owned by Purwodadi Forest Control Area (in Indonesia known as 'Kawasan Penguasaan Hutan – KPH) as an intercrop during re-planting of tropical hardwood, namely teak. Corn has become one of the significant side hustles for most of the residents in KPH with high incomes. Unfortunately, this high corn production was not accompanied by adequate postharvest technology. Some vital problems occurred, especially during raining season, like fungi, undesired germination, and many more. Therefore, the weight loss of corn production is still very high. This activity aimed to assist farmers by changing how farmers look at the quality assurance of the produced corn products and improving farmers' postharvest corn practices. This activity's method was introducing corn harvesting machines, namely corn sheller machines, and improving the farmers’ knowledge about the quality control of corn. The activities were carried out to allocate five (5) units of corn sheller units to five Forest Village Community Institutions (in Indonesia known as 'Lembaga Masyarakat Desa Hutan,' LMDH) who were the targeted partners. The activities of sharing the knowledge regarding good postharvest for corn were going well and the participants gave excellent responses and actively participated.

<p>Adopsi Kapas transgenik yang diinlroduksi secara terbatas sejak tahun 2000 di tujuh kabupaten di Sulawesi Selatan perlu dicvaluasi kebcrlanjutannya Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor - faktor yang mempengaruhi peluang keberlanjutan petani dalam mengadopsi kapas transgenik di daerah introduksi yaitu tujuh kabupaten di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Kerangka penelitian yang digunakan adalah peluang keberlanjutan adopsi dipengaruhi oleh karaktcr subyek, karaktcr inovasi, dan lingkungan fisik dan sosial. Dengan kriteria sebaran dan luas kapas transgenik, pola sebaran curah hujan, dan waktu panen maka daerah yang terpilih adalah Kabupaten Bantaeng, Takalar, Gowa, dan Bulukumba, dan penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus-September 2002. Metode pengambilan contoh petani digunakan metode acak sederhana, karena homogenitas Icarakter yang diinginkan relatif tinggi. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi berganda yang pendugaannya dengan metode maximum likelihood. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa lebih dai 50% petani berpeluang untuk bcrhenti mengadopsi. Hal ini antara lain disebabkan ketidakmampuan petani untuk menanggung resiko usahatani kapas transgenik yang tinggi, sedang pendapatan yang diharapkan kurang stabil. Selain itu adopsi berpeluang besar akan berlanjut di daerah yang iklimnya sesuai dan kompatible dengan musim dan pola tanam yang ada.</p><p>Kata kunci: Kapas transgenic, adopsi, keberlanjutan, resiko usahatani, pendapatan</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Analysis of sustainability of transgenic cotton adoption in South Sulawesi</strong></p><p>The adoption of transgenic conon that has been introduced since 2000 in seven regencies of South Sulawesi need to be evaluated further. The objective of the study was to analyze factors which influenced the adoption of transgenic cotton by the farmers in the introduction area. The research frame used is sustainability of adoption depend on characteistics of subjects and innovation and physical and social environment. Citeia used to determine research area were distribution and coverage of transgenic conon farms, distibution pattern of rainfall, and time of harvest. The area chosen were Regency of Bantaeng, Takalar, Gowa, and Bulukumba. The sampling method used was simple random sampling, since the population was relatively homogen. The results of the analysis indicated that more than SO % of the farmers had a chance to stop adopting the transgenic conon. Il happened because the farmers were uncapablc to take the isk of transgenic coton farming which was very high, while the income rom this farming was not stable. However, the adoption of transgenic cotton is potential in the area where the climate is suitable and compatible with the seasons and existing farming system.</p><p>Key words: Transgenic coton, adoption, sustainability, farm risk, income</p>

Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the main actor of wine fermentation but at present, still little is known about the factors impacting its distribution in the vineyards. In this study, 23 vineyards and 7 cellars were sampled over 2 consecutive years in the Bordeaux and Bergerac regions. The impact of geography and farming system and the relation between grape and vat populations were evaluated using a collection of 1374 S. cerevisiae merlot grape isolates and 289 vat isolates analyzed at 17 microsatellites loci. A very high genetic diversity of S. cerevisiae strains was obtained from grape samples, higher in conventional farming system than in organic one. The geographic appellation and the wine estate significantly impact the S. cerevisiae population structure, whereas the type of farming system has a weak global effect. When comparing cellar and vineyard populations, we evidenced the tight connection between the two compartments, based on the high proportion of grape isolates (25%) related to the commercial starters used in the cellar and on the estimation of bidirectional geneflows between the vineyard and the cellar compartments.

Central Java has a variety of cultures and customs that are very unique and interesting to learn, one of which is a farming system for people who live around the mountains with uneven and sloping land. The writing of this article aims to describe a farming system in Central Java society called 'Nyabuk Gunung', namely how to grow crops by making rice terraces formed according to contour lines. The research method used in this research is to use a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques of literature studies, field observations and farmer interviews. Literature study is a method used to collect data or sources related to the topics raised in a study. The results of this study indicate that the Nyabuk Gunung farming system was created by the surrounding community in addition to utilizing existing land, also to prevent erosion and landslides on their land. Plants planted by the community in the form of suitable plantation crops are located in the highlands, such as tea, coffee and other vegetable crops. The Nyabuk Gunung farming system can be a solution for agriculture in the Central Java region which has mountainous topography as land conversion and prevents natural disasters such as landslides.

Corn is a staple crop for Indonesian people because most of his life is from the agriculture sector. To increase the productivity of corn, another thing to be aware of is looking at the quality of the corn products. Through empirical observation and observation, research explores and extracts data through the concept of data mining so that neglected data becomes useful. Thus determining the quality of corn production is an important task to help the farmers in determining the classification process. Missing value is a problem in maintaining a quality data. Missing value can be caused by several things, one of which is caused by an error at the time of data entry. Missing value will be a problem when the amount of data in large quantities, so it is very influential in the survey results. Therefore on this research proposed K-NN imputation method to handle missing value data. The results showed the accuracy of the C 4.5 algorithm classification process on the corn production dataset that experienced a missing value accuracy value of 92.90%. Whereas if done with special handling using the method K-NN imputation on the handling process missing value best value at k = 5 of 94.50% with this that the proposed method increases significantly.

Farmers have difficulty in developing community forest and their derivative products because they are constrained by funds. So, The Ministry of Environment and Forestry issued a credit program to delay cutting down trees. Loans use trees as collateral for credit. The experimental site is in Kawengen Village Ungaran East Ungaran, Semarang Regency Central Java Province (7˚1021 N 110˚4814 W) at 216 m above sea level. Data is obtained from Lestari farmer grup. Lestari farmer group is a farmer organization that participates in the delayed cutting down trees credit program.The purpose of the study was to find out the implications of implementing credit program to delay cutting down trees for sustainable community forest management. The study indicated that delayed cutting loan is beneficial for farmers and forest suistainability. The result is the delay in cutting trees useful for providing longer opportunities of tree life, thus trees can be functioned ecologically and economically longer. On the other hand, if it fails to pay, there will be fragmentation of community forest land. The ecological and economic functions of trees will also be lost.

In 1987, the Forestry Research Advisory Council of Canada (FRACC) proposed to provide an annual cross-Canada survey of research priorities and emerging concerns for the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM). This proposal was accepted by CCFM, to improve dialogue and research coordination. Subsequently, representatives of the forest research advisory bodies in each province and territory met with FRACC to prepare this report.The aim of forest research is to develop environmentally sound, integrated systems of forest land management which will improve the sustainable supply of economic timber and fiber and enhance other benefits, particularly recreation opportunities and habitats for fish and wildlife.Four general areas are identified for attention as research priorities: (1) managing the forest as an integrated ecosystem; (2) renewing the forest; (3) protecting the forest; and (4) producing improved products from the "new forest". These areas are elaborated below. Improving technology transfer is universally recognized as a very high priority.Research advisory structures are now in place in all jurisdictions and all have, or soon will have, the participation of industry. Present research programs are considered to be scientifically and technically sound, but significant additional funding is required and some redirection and further coordination will improve effectiveness.
