Padi (<em>Oryza sativa</em>) merupakan tanaman pangan yang sangat penting di dunia setelah gandum dan jagung, karena beras masih digunakan sebagai makanan pokok sebagian besar penduduk dunia terutama Asia. Beras merupakan komoditas strategis di Indonesia yang mempunyai pengaruh besar terhadap kestabilan ekonomi dan politik. Pertanian organik merupakan kegiatan bercocok tanam ramah lingkungan dengan meminimalkan dampak negative bagi alam sekitar yaitu menggunakan varietas lokal, pupuk, dan pestisida organik dengan tujuan untuk menjaga kelestarian lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui : 1) Besarnya biaya dan keuntungan usahatani padi organik. 2) Pengaruh faktor produksi terhadap&nbsp; produksi usahatani padi organik. 3) Tingkat efisiensi penggunaan faktor produksi pada usahatani padi organik.</p> <p>Metode penentuan lokasi penelitian dilakukan secara sengaja atau <em>porposive sampling</em>. Metode penentuan sample petani dilakukan secara <em>simple random sampling.</em> Analisis data menggunakan analisis fungsi produksi <em>Cobb – Douglas</em>. Analisis biaya dan analisis NMPx/Px.</p> <p>Hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan : 1) Pendapatan usahatani padi organik dalam satu kali musim tanam dengan luas lahan sebesar 0,18 Ha sebesar Rp 3.333.367/UT/MT atau Rp 18.333.519/Ha/MT, dan asumsi harga padi organik pada saat penelitian tersebut sebesar Rp 6800/Kg, dengan total penerimaan pada usahatani padi organik adalah sebesar Rp 6.858.933/UT/MT atau Rp 37.724.132/Ha/MT, dan total biaya usahatani sebesar Rp 3.525.566/ Ha/MT atau Rp 19.390.613/Ha/MT.2) Faktor produksi benih berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap produksi padi organik, sedangkan faktor produksi pupuk kandang berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap produksi padi organik, sedangkan faktor produksi pestisida nabati dan tenaga kerja berpengaruh nyata terhadap produksi padi organik. 3) Faktor produksi benih dan pestisida nabati masih belum efisien, sedangkan pupuk kandang dan tenaga kerja tidak efisien.</p> 2024-02-19T13:42:56+07:00 Copyright (c) http://ejournal.utp.ac.id/index.php/JRUCS/article/view/3279 The Role of Youth in Enhancing Community Economic Welfare through the Development of Tourism Villages(A Study at the Pleseran Camp Earth Tourism in Nglurah Village, Tawangmangu, Karanganyar Regency) 2024-02-19T16:19:17+07:00 Elsa Masda Marlena, elsa.marlena93@gmail.com Trio Handoko trio.handoko@gmail.com Achmad Choerudin ac@gmail.com <p>Youth is part of a group of people who cannot be separated from all social problems.

Test With Application Of Several Kinds Microbia Consortium Its Influence On Growth and Yield 2024-02-19T16:17:25+07:00 Tyas Soemarah Koernia Dewi tyaskd@lecture.utp.ac.id Agus Budiyono agus.budiyono@lecture.utp.ac.id Teguh Supriyadi teguh.supriyadi@lecture.utp.ac.id Endang Suprapti endang.suprapti@lecture.utp.ac.id Herdyanto Putro herdyanto.pitro@gmail.com siti mardhika sari yogica8@gmail.com <p>Shallots are one of the horticultural commodities that Indonesian people need. The use of bacterial consortia in shallot cultivation is expected to be useful for increasing soil fertility due to soil biochemical processes. This research aims to determine the effect of applying a microbial consortium from several products to the growth and yield of several shallot varieties. This research was carried out using a Split Plot Design with a split plot method which consists of two factors, namely: 1. Red onion variety, (V1: local rubber variety; V2: white local variety; V3: local Javanese varieties), 2. Types of decomposing plants (microbial consortium), : (P0: Control; P1: M21; P2: EM4; P3: Beka Decomposer). The research results showed: (1) The variety test showed very significant plant height, number of leaves, fresh stover weight, dry stover weight, tuber diameter, fresh tuber weight per bunch, tuber dry weight per bunch, and tuber dry weight per plot. However, there was no real difference between the number of bulbs per plant and the number of bulbs per plot. (2) The combination of microbial consortia with shallot varieties showed significantly different results regarding the number of leaves and bulb diameter. However, there were no real differences in plant height, fresh stover weight, dry stover weight, number of tubers per plant, number of tubers per plot, fresh weight of tubers per bunch, dry weight of tubers per bunch and dry weight of tubers per bunch. (3) The research results showed that the highest yield was obtained from the combination of V2P1 with the treatment of local white varieties of shallots and the application of the M21 microbial consortium with an average value of 150.27 g/plot (16,905 kg/ha or 16.9 tons/ha).</p> 2024-02-19T13:41:02+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Rural and Urban Community Studies http://ejournal.utp.ac.id/index.php/JRUCS/article/view/3356 Consumer Satisfaction Regarding Anthurium Ornamental Plants (A case study conducted in Nglurah Village, Tawangmangu District, Karanganya Regency) 2024-02-27T14:13:52+07:00 Feri Setiawan setiawanferi11@yahoo.com Mahananto irmahanantomp@gmail.com <p>Ornamental plants encompass a wide array of plant species cultivated for their aesthetic beauty, resulting in diverse variations. Anthurium, known for its varied leaf patterns, presents an advantage in facilitating the creation of new hybrids. This study aims to identify and examine the characteristics of Anthurium ornamental plant consumers and analyze their satisfaction levels in Dusun Nglurah, Tawangmangu District, Karanganyar Regency. Employing a qualitative research method, this study utilized accidental sampling for data collection, incorporating both primary and secondary data sources through questionnaires and interviews. Findings reveal that the highest percentage of consumer satisfaction with Anthurium ornamental plants falls within the 20-30 age group (31%), predominantly comprising high school graduates (69%) employed as shop assistants, private sector employees, civil servants, farmers, or banking professionals (40%). Furthermore, 73% of consumers visit ornamental plant centers, with 67% citing plant variety as their primary purchase motivation. The majority of consumers (72%) purchase fewer than three plants, preferring a maximum price range of 0-5 million Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) (85%). Anthurium is the preferred plant species among consumers (53%), typically displayed in pots (WS = 0.84). Attributes such as rarity, uniqueness, variety, and price of the plants also scored a WS value of 0.84. Overall consumer satisfaction with Anthurium ornamental plants at the Ornamental Plant Center falls within the "satisfied" category, with a CSI value of 83.80%.</p> 2024-02-19T15:35:57+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Rural and Urban Community Studies
