Purwati-Yamada(2005)EvaluationDeterminateTomatoVarietyCultivationWestJava_JIRCAS-IVEGRI.pdf

This paper reports on three experiments evaluating Japanese tomato varieties for use in Indonesia. The experiments evaluate these varieties based on yield comparisons with the standard Indonesian variety, fruit characteristics for fresh and processing and seedling growth using three low cost, locally sourced seedling raising media. Results of each experiment are reported and discussed separately. The paper details the yield differences and summarises fruit characteristics including discussion of suitability for fresh or processing sectors. The experiments indicate the need for improved root knot nematode resistance in the Japanese varieties. The authors discuss options for improving productivity of Japanese varieties such as improved seedling preparation through good seedling media and the impacts of the different seedling media on seedling characteristics and yield. The paper does not make any recommendations or draw any conclusions from this work.

VanDenBrink(2012)ProductionTrueSeedShallotsIndonesia_IVEGRI.pdf

Traditional Indonesian shallot production is based on seed bulbs but True Seed Shallots (TSS) could improve competitiveness of the industry. This study assesses numerous factors such as, seed raising mixtures, sowing depth and furrow fill, productivity comparison of TSS cultivars and seed bulb cultivars, plant density and nitrogen fertilisation, for their impact on shallot growth and production. Each experiment is reported on and discussed separately. The report discusses the impact of these different factors on a range of shallot characteristics such as emergence, growing period, yield, bulb size, bulb colour and storage quality. The results lead the authors to identify areas for additional research such as the impact of nitrogen fertiliser on storage quality of bulbs and the mechanism through which stable manure improves seedling emergence. The authors conclude that TSS could be a viable option for improving the competitiveness of Indonesia's shallot production. TSS yield's averaged 70 and 113% higher than the seed bulb cultivar 'Bima curut' but exhibited a 2-3 week longer growing period. The report discusses optimal nitrogen fertiliser rates and plant densities for the TSS and seed bulb cultivars.

Sujarwo-Saghaian(2013)ProfitGapAnalysisSmallScaleProductionShallotCaseStudyEastJava_UniKentucky.pdf

This paper explores the allocation of inputs in small-scale shallot production with a view to increasing efficiency and raising farmers' profits. The research uses primary data gathered through a survey of 43 farmers in one village in East Java. It applies double-log production function and polynomial cost function to measure the profit gap. Three simulations are used for input allocation based on low, medium and high input costs. The findings show that land, labour and seed are the most important group of inputs for production, followed by the fertilizer phosphate. Seeds were found to be used efficiently in all three simulations. However, allocation of labour, pesticides and potassium all exceeded optimum use. In contrast, inputs such as land, phosphate and nitrogen were under-utilized. The profit gaps for low, medium and high input costs were calculated at 4.72 per cent, 13.96 per cent and 17.92 per cent, respectively. The research concluded that the gap between actual and optimum profit for shallot farmers was significant, but could be improved with efficient input allocation.

KruijssenEtAl(2008)CollectiveActionMarketingUnderutilizedTropicalFruitSouthSoutheastAsia.pdf

This paper examines collective action as an option for addressing obstacles for smallholders linking to markets, specifically for marketing of underutilised tropical fruits. These are of importance for nutrition, cultural value and contribution to income and improved market chains will increase income and incentives for production to maintain diversity. The report includes a description of the conceptual framework for collective action. The report comprises three cases studies as examples of good marketing practices for biodiversity. These include: kokum in India; cowa in Thailand; and pomelo in Indonesia. The results briefly describe each case study including the crop and its production, the driver for the collective action, the structure and conduct, performance and biodiversity. The discussion focuses on the characteristics of collective action in practice, and in particular how they relate to each case study including collective action as a social process, transaction costs, improved market chains, networks for information change, social learnings and incentive, decision and investment issues. The authors also outline the factors that may limit the success of collective action and highlight that alternative strategies such as vertical integration may need to be considered.

HusenEtAl(2012)InductionFloweringYieldMangoHybridPaclobutrazol.pdf

Development of mango hybrids is one strategy to improve mango quality to a level suitable for export markets, however, the duration of the juvenile phase is currently an obstacle. This paper outlines the use of the plant growth regulator, Paclobutrazol, to induce flowering and also assesses the impact on yield. The research involved a randomised block design with two levels of Paclobutrazol treatment and 20 accessions of mango hybrid. Results are presented and discussed based on the impact on induction of flowering and yield. Induction of flowering results are discussed in terms of various characteristics such as number of flowering plans and duration of appearance of flowers, number of flowers per plant, number of peduncles, width and length of inflorescence. Yield was presented in terms of number of fruit per plant, number of fruit harvested, weight of harvested fruit and yield. The authors conclude that Paclobutrazol significantly induced flowering and improved yield, however, yield appeared to be more affected by genetics.

SaenongEtAl(2010)AccelerationSeedDistributionThroughCommunityBasedSeedProductionNTT.pdf

This article presents the findings of a study that introduces community-based seed production of new open-pollenated maize varieties that are suited to the local environment, as well as the sociological conditions and farmer's preferences, in East Nusa Tenggara. It aims to accelerate distribution of these high quality seeds in sufficient quantities and at affordable prices in order to increase maize productivity for farmers. Experiments were conducted over a two year period in one village in Kupang district, recording grain yield, return:cost ratio, income generation, rate of distribution, and farmer's responses to the new varieties. Results show that the new variety of seed introduced by community-based seed production was well adopted by local farmers and sold at acceptable prices. Seed growers received a benefit of Rp 10,476,000ha-1 at a return:cost ratio of 2:9. The authors conclude that community-based seed production is suitable for extension to other villages where farmers have difficulty accessing high-yield seed varieties that are suited to both their agroclimatic zone and personal preferences.

Hosang(2010)AgronomicPerformanceLandraceCertifiedSeedsMaizeWestTimor.pdf

Maize yields in West Timor average around 2 t/ha, but have the potential to reach more than 4 t/ha with improved varieties, agronomy and nutrition. This paper explores the agronomic and physical characteristics of West Timor's landrace maize and production systems to determine the best approach for improving maize production and yield in West Timor. The research trials five maize varieties—three West Timor landrace populations and two open pollinated varieties—and grows them in the villages of Benlutu and Mnelalete in East Nusa Tenggara. The study used a spilt plot experimental design with three replications. The findings demonstrated wider variability in yield and agronomic performance of landrace maize with regard to seedling emergence, plant and ear height compared to certified improved open pollinated varieties. This crop-stand variability is probably due to low seed viability resulting from poor storage conditions, variable seasonal climatic conditions and/or high genetic variability within the landrace populations. The authors affirm that the impact of genetic variability and the enhancement of agronomic management of landrace maize will be investigated in future research.

Maize is an important commodity in Nusa Tenggara Barat province as it has a strategic role in meeting the food needs of the people and the demand of feed industries in the region. However, raising productivity to meet the growing demand for maize requires the use of hybrids with high yield potential. This paper examines the potential yield of hybrids of harapan grown in dryland agro-ecosystems. Research was carried out in Perigi village—the centre of dryland maize production—in Suela subdistrict of Lombok Timur during the 2005/2006 rainy season. Fourteen hybrids were tested using a randomized complete block design with four replications. The tested hybrids were relatively similar in plant height and ear length. For control purposes, Bima-1 and BISI-2 hybrids were also used. The findings reveal that of the 14 tested hybrids, six were higher yielding than the controls, including Nei92002/Mr4 (9.22 t ha-1), Mr4/B11-209 (8.95 t ha-1), G193/Mr4 (8.53 t ha-1) and B11-136/Mr14 (8.30 t ha-1). Despite these encouraging results, the authors note that these hybrids need to be tested further for wider adaptation before they are released commercially.

Yield potential and gap analysis of maize production in Sulawesi, Indonesia

Hadijah-Margaretha(2010)YieldPotentialGapAnalysisMaizeProductionSulawesi_ICeRI.pdf

This paper explores maize productivity and the yield gap in maize production in five provinces of Sulawesi. The research is based on secondary data collected for the period of 2001 to 2007 on harvested area, production, seed distribution and productivity. The findings revealed that average maize production and productivity varied significantly across the five provinces, from 64,664 tons in Central Sulawesi to 698,198 tons in South Sulawesi and from 2.21 t/ha in Southeast Sulawesi to 3.39 t/ha in Gorontalo. The paper documents the main constraints to production, including biophysical (e.g. pests and diseases and soil fertility), socio-cultural (e.g. poor production facilities and failure to use high quality seed and fertilizer), economic (e.g. high input prices and limited farmer capital) and institutional (e.g. lack of extension services). In general, there remains a large yield gap (3-6.5 t/ha) between farm level yields and yield potential for several superior varieties, both hybrid and composite, in Sulawesi. The authors propose that this yield gap could be overcome by the availability of a package of locally specific planting technologies that could be easily and quickly adopted by farmers.

Utilization of lowland rice in increasing maize production in Indonesia

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:12:36 +0000

FadhlyEtAl(2010)UtilizationLowlandRiceIncreasingMaizeProductionIndo_ICeRI.pdf

Cropping intensity of rice in lowlands in Indonesia is decreasing, presenting an opportunity to increase cropping intensity by planting maize. In this paper, Fadhly et al. suggest that in order to increase maize production, which does not meet the current demand for feed in Indonesia, maize cropping systems could be shifted to lowlands by promoting increased cropping intensity using rice-rice-maize, rice-maize-maize or rice-maize-fallow cropping patterns. Lowland areas planting rice once or twice per year are 2,832,816 and 4,558,568 ha, respectively, across Java, Sumatra, Bali and Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan and the Sulawesi Islands. Planting maize after rice has been shown to provide high profits for farmers because maize prices tend to increase at that time to their highest level. High yield obtained by planting hybrid varieties, along with high prices, are resulting in the annual expansion of maize areas in the lowlands. The authors note, however, that irrigation is an important factor in maize farming on lowlands. Farmers generally use drilled wells and irrigate their maize crops by using engine pumps, but drainage must be prepared to avoid excess water due to unpredictable rains.
