To improve farm products particulary cattle production, The goverment ofBondowoso District did through some policy : (1) extension program, (2) artificial insemination and (3) forage development.Although the program has been launched, there are still many problems occured. It is indicated by decreasing population of cattle, the declined result of artificial insemination and decreasing of meat production. The purpose of this research to find out the effect of extension program, artificial insemination and the development of forage on the increasing of beef cattle in Kabupaten Bondowoso. This research used explanatory research with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The result showed that the extension program didn’t effect improvement of beef cattle production, but the production can be improved by artificial insemination and forage development.

This study aims to determine the effect of land area, number of seeds, labor, fertilizer, and pesticides on rice production in the Village Karawana Sub District Dolo. The population in this study are all farmers who cultivate rice farming rice fields totaling 417 farmers, farm consisting of 279 people using certified seeds and 138 people who use the seed is not certified, with a sample size of 60 people that is considered representative of the population, of which 40 people who use certified rice seeds and 20 people use rice seed is not certified. Data were analyzed using multiple linear analysis Doglass Cobb. The results of the production analyzes show that the independent variable (Xi) jointly significant effect on the dependent variable (Y) it is indicated the value of the F-count equal to 96.734> F-table 2.034. the coefficient of determination (R2Adj sq) of 0.925, meaning 92.5% of the variation rice production that use certified rice seeds (Y) can be explained by the variable land area (X1), seeds (X2), labor (X3) fertilizer (X4), and pesticides (X5), while the other 7.5% can be explained other models. Area of land, seed, labor, fertilizer, and pesticides simultaneously can affect the production of paddy rice farming that use certified rice seeds in the Village Karawana District of Dolo. T-test results showed independent variables (land area (X, labor (X3), fertilizers (X4), and pesticides (X5), very significant effect on production (Y), except for number of seeds (X2) had no significant effect. While for seed which is not certified the results of production analysis showed that the independent variable (Xi) jointly significant effect on the dependent variable (Y) it is indicated the value of the F-count equal to 84.902> F-table 2.009, the coefficient of determination (R2Adj sq) of 0.957, meaning 95.70% variation of rice production that use certified rice seeds (Y) can be explained by the variable land area (X1), seeds (X2), labor (X3), fertilizers (X4), and pesticides (X5), while the other 4.3% can be explained other models. The land, seed, labor, fertilizer, and pesticides simultaneously may affect rice production which uses rice seed is not certified in the Village Karawana District of Dolo, the t-test results shows the independent variables (land area (X1), the number of seeds (X2), labor (X3), fertilizers (X4), and pesticides (X5), very significant effect on output (Y). Rice production that use certified seed significantly different compared to rice production which uses seeds were not certified in the Village Karawana District of Dolo.

Shallot (Allium wakegi Arakic.v. Lembah Palu) is a horticulture commodity prospective as a very good business opportunity, since becomes the major ingredient of fried shallot, the most unique souvenir of Palu. The productivity however, is generally low due to lack in availability of good seed and seed production technology. The purpose of this study is to develop seed production technology through multiplication of somatic embryos. This assessment is the second part of research stages regarding the development of shallotsomatic embryo technology in Central Sulawesi. The first stage of the research is setrilization and callus induction of Lembah Palu shallot. This second stage is maturation dan germination of somatic embryos.The experiment was arranged as factorial completely randomized design, comprising of two factors. The first factor was 2,4-D concentration; consisting of three levels i.e 0.00, 0.25 and 0.50 mg/L. The second factor is kinetin concentration with the same levels as in 2,4-D. Each treatment combination was replicated three times, thus there were 27 experimental units. The result showed that addition of kinetin in MS basal media strongly affected the percentage of mature embryos and the percentage of mature embyos producing shoots, with the highest rate was obtained from the media fortified with 0,50 mg/L kinetin (26,913% and 43,318% respectively). Addition of 2,4-D to the MS basal media tended to inhibit the rate of regenerating shoot from the embryos. There is no interaction between 2,4-D and kinetin concentrations in affecting maturation and germination of the somatic embryos.

This study aims to determine : Feasibility of broiler farming in Wadaslintang District, the method basic was used in this research is survey method with the research location Wadaslintang District Subdistrict Wonosobo. Sampling technic was used 43 farmers. Based on the results that broiler farming in Wadaslintang the needed total average cost is Rp 8,927,929.77 average total revenue is Rp 20,653,290.70, the average income is Rp 13,487,185.60, an average profit is Rp 11,725,360.93. Rated R/C ratio is 2.31, productivity of capital π/C ratio is 131.33%, labor productivity Rp 544.223,71/HKO, farmer income is Rp 13,487,185.60 > land rent value is Rp 1,353 per production period 488,37, meat chiken production > BEP value of meat chiken production1744.54 > 403.00, Income > BEP value of income is 20,653,290.70 > Rp 4,759,218.42, meat prices > BEP prices Rp 11.838,77 > Rp 5.117,62, if the price decline is not exceed 56.78%, the farmers do not losses, its mean that broiler farming is feasible to grow up

Beliefs about profitability of different locations and the decision of how long to fish in a particular location are likely to affect the variability of fishermen’s incomes. This paper examine the Maximization of income of the fishermen fishing In the village of Tete B Tojo Una-Una. Data analysis using LINDO analysis. The population in this research are 54 house hold from fisherman pancingulur. Respondent performed by using simple random sampling method, therefore the number of samples in the study are 37 families. The analysis showed that the maximum income of fishermen fishing in the village Tete B is Rp 40.036.480,00 with the total production of 15.667 kg produced for one month period of catching. Resources used to obtain the maximum income is 4.856,67 liters of gasoline, lubricants or oils 47 liters, ice is 3.446.67packs, consumption is Rp 6.000.333,33 and cigarette is 1.096,67 wrap.

The goals of this experimen were to obtain the best concentration of 2,4-D with 15% coconut water to induced cacao callus, and the best concentration of BAP with 15% coconut water in callus propagation. This was experimental research which arranged by Completely Randomized Design, consists of two steps, callus induction and callus propagation. Callus induction from cacao flowers used several concentrations of 2,4-D combined with 15% of coconut water. In callus propagation, the medium treated by various concentrations of BAP with 15% of coconut water. This research was undertaken during period of time February until April 2016 at Laboratory of Forestry Biotecnology Forestry Faculty of Tadulako University. Data was analysed with analysis of variance and difference between treatment were determined by using BNJ at 5%. The result showed that the best medium for callus induction was 2.0 mg/L of 2,4-D with 15% of coconut water (K3). This medium produced callus in 13.50 days after induction with 99,17% of explants producing callus. Treatment of 2 mg/L of 2,4-D + 1.0 mg/L of BAP + 15 % of coconut water (SK6) was giving best response in callus propagation. This medium produced 0.55 ml volume of callus, white-yellowish callus with crumb textured which were active in cell proliferation

The aim of this research is to determine growing season land paddy with use tradisionally climate prediction base on indegenious knowledge and tradisional wishdom from society where they live on remote area. The data of growth and yield of land paddy was collected at Powelua Village, Donggala regency, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The method of this research use survey and interview in depth to farmer who planted land paddy. The result show that their knowledge to predict climate for growing season land paddy has to used both the climate data
