Global warming is a natural phenomenon that is currently taking place. Natural phenomena occur as a result of changing ecosystem balance. This can be minimized by adding vegetation which acts as an absorber of CO2 to convert CO2 into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Each type of vegetation has the potential to absorb different carbon, so this can be circumvented by using the right cropping pattern. Therefore, information about the potential for carbon stored in complex and simple agroforestry cropping patterns in KPH Batutegi is important. The purpose of this study was to analyze carbon stocks in agroforestry cropping patterns and to compare carbon stocks in simple and complex agroforestry cropping patterns in KPH Batutegi. Source of living tree biomass, dead tree biomass, understorey biomass, and litter biomass. The results showed that the carbon stored in complex agroforestry cropping patterns fell into the good category according to the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). However, the stored carbon in complex agroforestry cropping patterns is greater than the stored carbon in simple agroforestry cropping patterns, namely 765.61 tonC/ha and 356.21 tonC/ha.

Malapari (Pongamia pinnata) is a potential plant for biodiesel and has the ability to grow on marginal land. Malapari cultivation has not yet been carried out due to low economic value. Agroforestry crop patterns are expected to provide intermediate results so that people would be interested in planting malapari. Planting on coastal land requires the right technology to produce optimal growth. This study aims to determine the effect of malapari cropping patterns and evaluate biological fertilizer application in the seedling phase after planting in the field. The research uses a split plot design (Split Plot Design) with the main factors that are the pattern of malapari planting and sub-plots that are the type of application of biofertilizer. The results obtained from the study showed that the interaction of cropping pattern treatment and biofertilizer application did not give significant growth to malapari; the combination of the application of organic manure, Trichoderma spp and mycorrhiza bio-fertilizers in the nursery yielded the largest malapari diameter growth after planting in the field at the age of 3 years.

AbstractMountain regions are highly vulnerable to climate change, as they are ecologically fragile, tectonically and seismically active, and geologically sensitive. The main objectives of this study are to examine socio-ecological transformations and to illustrate the major driving forces - climate change, education and waves of modern civilization - in the Garhwal Himalaya. Data on socio-ecological systems and their patterns of change were accumulated from primary and secondary sources and through participatory rural appraisal. We present a case study where household level surveys were conducted in two villages. A total of 37 households were surveyed. Additionally, marginal farmers and extension workers were interviewed. Questions on population, migration, cropping pattern and livestock were answered by the head of the surveyed households. Population size was decreasing due to out-migration. The whole Garhwal region experienced 15.3% out-migration, while migration from the two villages was observed at 50% during the period 1990-2014. Similarly, changes in land use and cropping patterns and in the livestock population were observed. There was a decrease in the extent of land under cereals (24%) and fruits (79%), a decrease in fruit production (75%), and a decrease in the number of livestock (76%). Climate change was observed as a major driver of the decrease in production and productivity of cereals and fruits, leading to land abandonment. Education, on the other hand, was a major driver of out-migration. Further, extreme events through climate change happened more frequently and changed the landscape. This study reveals that an increase in infrastructural facilities to create jobs and sustainable land management can control out-migration and can enhance land capability.

Pauh Tinggi irrigation network planning which has an area of irrigation land of 473 ha. This irrigation plan draws water from the Pauh Tinggi Dam located in the Batanghari Hulu river, Kerinci Regency, Jambi. Population growth which is directly proportional to the increasing necessities of life, one of which is in the food sector, has made the government take the initiative to meet the needs and welfare of the community by opening land into productive areas of rice fields and fields, and making irrigation plans. In making irrigation planning, hydrological and rainfall calculations are needed to be able to make the right cropping system for farmers in Pauh Tinggi Village, Kerinci Regency, Jambi. A calculation of 17 alternative cropping patterns with different types of plant variants and different plans for the initial planting period were carried out by comparing with the mainstay debit factor (Q80). It was found that the cropping pattern is very possible always using the RICE-RICE-CROP cropping pattern. The most efficient and optimal planting pattern is the alternative planting pattern 14 in the form of RICE -RICE-CORN with Netto Field Water Requirements in tertiary plots (NFR tertiary) ranging from 0 - 1.30 ltr / sec / ha with a maximum of 1.30 ltr / sec / ha in January I, while irrigation water needs in the intake (DR intake) range 0 - 1.60 ltr sec / ha with a maximum of 1.60 ltr / sec / ha in January I.

The high deficit in the trade balance value for citrus commodities can be an indication of the need for improvements in production and especially on the quality of citrus in Indonesia. Citrus cultivation with high density cropping system (SITARA) can be one of the strategies to increase production without increasing the area of planting land. The additions of intercropping in this system can be a solution for farmers' income, when citrus plants have not yet produced. Therefore, this study was aimed to analyze the costs and benefits of intercropping cultivation done between SITARA citrus plants with three cropping patterns (geometry) and intercropping plants which stated into four packages: (1) 4x4 (double) with chili intercropping, (2) 4x4 (double) variations (watermelon, tomatoes, broccoli, mustard greens: (3) 3x4 (double) with chili, (4) 3x4 (double) soybean. The results of the analysis showed that the 4x4 m cropping pattern intercroped with watermelon, tomatoes, broccoli and green mustard provide the highest profit of Rp. 13,677,396 per 0,25 ha per year. Although the total R / C ratio is still smaller than chili, but with variations the price decline in one commodity can be supported by other commodities. This pattern turns out to be the one that provide better citrus growth than the other four patterns, which can be seen from the rootstock and scion diameter also the average plant height that is 52, 43 dan 228 cm, respectively. This can ben an indication that intercropping can be done without harming the main crop, if it gets the right treatment. To support the results, the interaction of trees (in this case citrus), soil and seasonal crops can be evaluate more deeply.

Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world due to changing climatic conditions. While a head facing the risk of food and nutrition insecurity. It is a land of variety both in terms of resources and people. The study focused on the district Thatta and its coastal district of Sindh province, to determine the complex problem-related climate change and effects; the district has received due to various climatic factors. Banana is known to be the most important fruit crop of Pakistan. It is cultivated over 34,800 hectares with the production of 154,800 tons. It is primarily grown in Sindh province because the soil and climatic conditions favour cultivating fruits and vegetables, further, this province shares 87 percent in the cultivation of the banana crop. The study aims to carry out the impact of climate change effect on banana cropping patterns. The present study aimed to observe the socio-economic characteristics of the farmers, review the present status of banana production in Sindh province, explore the status of cropping pattern in the study area, and examine climate change effect on banana cropping pattern, by using primary as well as secondary data. In Sindh province, Banana is cultivated in three main districts among them, Thatta shares 17.6 percent in the area and 17.1 percent production in the overall province. Furthermore, farmer’s perception regarding climate change, the majority proportion of farmers agreed temperature has raised and cropping pattern practices also effected and changed, while water-related issues are rising day by day in the study area.

Regional impact studies are needed to explore possible adaptation options to climate change. We estimated impacts and adaptation options for future scenarios that feature different assumptions regarding climate, cropping pattern and access to irrigation with two bio-economic farm models. Farm profit, soil organic matter balance and labor input are used as indicators of farm performance. The difference between the baseline and the alternative configurations computed by models is referred as adaptation potential, indicative of the adaptation options including the corresponding changes in cropping patterns. Our results show that as long as there is sufficient access to irrigation water, there is little incentive to change current practices, as farming is at the economic optimum, has a positive soil organic matter balance and labor requirements can be met. Conversely, if irrigation is no longer possible, drastic impacts occur, causing a need to sustainably adjust on-going farm practices. Adaptation through changed crop selection reduced losses to some extent. We conclude that the use of bio-economic models can assist in evaluating the qualitative findings of participatory studies by quantitatively assessing possible climate change impacts and adaptation measures. Strong impacts of climate change, however, cannot be offset by changes in cropping patterns and need further adaptation measures.

To improve farm incomes in developing countries, the foremost question that the farmer must address himself to is: what cropping pattern best uses the fixed resources in order to get the highest returns? During the last decade, the agricultural economists have shown great interest in applying the tools of linear programming to individual farms. Most of the studies conducted elsewhere have shown that, under existing cropping pattern, farm resources were not being utilized optimally on the small farms.[l, 4]. We conducted a survey in the canal-irrigated areas of the Punjab province of Pakistan1 to investigate into the same problem. This short note aims at identifying the opti¬mal cropping pattern and to estimate the increase in farm incomes as a result of a switch towards it on the sampled farms.
