Strategi Pengelolan Wisata Pedesaan Berbasis Topografi Alam Perbukitan di Desa Pule Kec. Pule Kabupaten Trenggalek

Pule village topography is a hilly area that has economic potential if it is managed well. The functions of it are as water absorption and earthquake defense, besides that the hilly area also can be as ecotourism for the alternative strategy of economic enhancement and for ecosystem education. This research-based service aims to empower the community economy and apply the education that is integrated with nature through participatory method related to the goals achieved. The first result, officially opened the ecotourism with the views of Kekep Hills. The second, the forming of community-based tourism (Pokdarwis) as the management of ecotourism. The third, the education that is integrated of nature becomes the educational and fun media. It was created by using ecotourism pattern to grow the awareness of conservation for childhood

Simulation of turbulent flow over the hill

An airflow around a hilly area is simulated by numerically solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations within the open OpenFOAM 2006 package. To simulate turbulence, standard turbulence models implemented in OpenFOAM 2006 were used together with wall functions. The results of numerical calculations were compared to the numerical data obtained using the CFL3D and FUN3D packages.

Research on the Scale of Agricultural Land Moderate Management and Countermeasures Based on Farm Household Analysis

The scale of agricultural land management was scientifically measured to provide a theoretical reference for improving the efficiency of agricultural land utilization, optimizing the industrial structure, and effectively solving the “three rural problems”. Based on 368 microfarmers’ agricultural land management questionnaire responses, the Cobb–Douglas production function was used to measure the average household size in different zones of Shawan City, Xinjiang, and then to calculate the total scale of moderate management in the region, and to divide the supplementary and reduced zones of arable land. The proposed countermeasures and suggestions for achieving the scale of moderate management from the perspectives of both people and land are presented. The results show the following: (1) the average suitable operating scales of households in the hilly area, the agricultural area in the oasis plain, and the oasis–desert interlace area were 5.15, 9.28, and 7.74 ha, respectively. (2) The moderate total scales of operation in the low hilly area, the middle oasis plain agricultural area, and the lower oasis–desert ecotone were 60,380, 112,510, and 115,500 ha, respectively. (3) Two areas, the low mountainous and hilly areas and the oasis plain farming areas, are supplementary areas of arable land, which should be supplemented by improving the management capacity of farmers, cultivating two new agricultural business entities, increasing land transfers, developing modern agriculture, and reducing the degree of fragmentation of arable land. The oasis–desert staggered area is the area where the scale of arable land is reduced. We should vigorously implement the work of retreating land and reducing water, and guide farmers to engage in secondary and tertiary industries so as to reduce the scale of arable land.

Influence of abiotic factors on incidence of thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood of cashew in Gujarat

A study was carried out on cashew variety Vengurla-4 at farmer’s field in hilly area of the Dangs district, Gujarat, India during 2017-18 and 2018-19 to examine the association of pest occurrence with abiotic factors like temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind speed and evaporation. Consistent weekly observations were recorded on the per cent incidence of thrips on three arbitrarily selected trees. The weather-related data was collected for the study from meteorological observatory located at Hill Millet Research Station, Waghai, the Dangs, Gujarat for the retro of two years. The damage by thrips on apple and nut was initiated in the month of January. After ward, damage found rising and it was maximum in the month of February. After the month of February, the damage went on lessening leisurely and almost absent by the end of April. Per cent incidence of thrips exposed non-significant correlation with temperature, relative humidity, sunshine, wind speed and evaporation.

Impact of environmental factors on infestation of cashew leaves by leaf miner, Acrocercops syngramma Meyrick in Gujarat

Studies were conducted in a cashew plantation at Waghai, Gujarat, India during 2017 – 19 on cashew variety vengurla- 4 throughout two consecutive years to determine the pest status of leaf miner, Acrocercops syngramma Meyrick and their relation with environmental factor. Damage to cashew leaf by leaf miner was prevailed only from July to December with maximum damage (2.19%) in the month of November 45th SMW in hilly area of the Dangs. Further, pest infestation on leaves found to have significant positive correlation with maximum temperature, mean temperature, bright sunshine and evaporation, while negative with morning relative humidity, evening relative humidity, mean relative humidity and wind speed.
