Abstract Coconut plantations are dominated by smallholders characterized by limited land area, low productivity, and low added value. The low productivity is partly due to the old age of the plants. The performance of coconut plantations can be improved, among others, through replanting smallholder plantations, but the implementation is still low, mainly due to financing constraints. This study aims to develop a financing scheme to support coconut replanting programs in smallholder plantations. The analysis used is Interpretative Structural Modelling for strategy mapping. The strategy for accelerating the smallholder coconut replanting program is related to developing the seed system, capacity building of farmers and farmer organizations, and technology support. The implementation of coconut replanting consists of nursery establishment, seed distribution, and planting and cultivation management. The financing scheme is a replanting financing method that includes the provision of funds, the scope of the use of funds, and the mechanism for using funds. Various financing models were built, consisting of the Self-Financing Scheme, the Companion Fund Financing Scheme, and the Program-Based Financing Scheme. These various schemes accommodate variations in conditions in coconut development centers in Indonesia. Through the financing scheme, it is also possible to map the roles of each stakeholder involved.

This research was conducted in order to test how much influence product quality, price and brand to the volume of sales at PT. Gemilang Jaya Bella bracelets Spring Bed Semarang. Independent variables include variable product quality, price and brand while the dependent variable is the volume of sales.In determining the data to be studied sampling technique used is the census. Census is a sampling technique when all members of the population used as a sample .. Respondents were selected is the consumer stores PT. Gemilang Jaya Bella bracelets Spring Bed Semarang. Thus obtained sample was 50 respondents. Data analysis methods used to perform hypothesis testing is multiple linear regression analysis.Based on the results of research that has been conducted on all data obtained, the importance of the research that 1). There is a positive and significant effect of the variable quality of the product (X1) to sales volume (Y). 2). There is a positive and significant impact on price variable (X2) to sales volume (Y). 3). There is a positive and significant impact on brand variables (X3) to sales volume (Y). 4). There is a positive and significant effect of the variable distribution channels (X4) to sales volume (Y)

An experiment was laid down in a screen house to determine the distribution of weed seeds at different soil depths and periods of cultivation of sugarcane in Ilorin, Nigeria. Soil samples from different depth levels (0-10 cm, 11-20 cm and 21-30 cm) were collected after harvesting of canes from three different land use fields (continuous sugarcane cultivation for > 20 years, continuous sugarcane cultivation for < 10 years after long fallow period and continuous sugarcane cultivation for < 5 years after long fallow period) in November, 2012. One kilogram of the sieved composite soil samples was arranged in the screen house and watered at alternate days. Germinating weed seedlings were identified, counted and then pulled out for the period of 8 months. Land use and soil depth had a highly significant (p £ 0.05) effect on the total number of weeds that emerged from the soil samples. The 010 cm of the soil depth had the highest weed seedlings that emerged. There was an equal weed seed distribution at the 11-20 cm and 21-30 cm depths of the soil. Sugarcane fields which have been continuously cultivated for a long period of time with highly disturbing soil tillage practices tend to have larger seed banks in deeper soil layers (11-20 cm and 21-30 cm) while recently opened fields had significantly larger seed banks at the 0-10 cm soil sampling depth.
