"Pengembangan program pengelolaan hama terpadu (PHT) nasional sejak 1989 mampu meningkatkan produksi padi di Indonesia. Namun produksi padi tahun 2001-2006 mengalami pelandaian, berada di sekitar 54 juta ton per tahun. Pada tahun 2007 pemerintah melaksanakan program Peningkatan Produksi Beras Nasional (P2BN) dengan target meningkatkan produksi 5% per tahun (2 juta ton/tahun). Salah satu upaya mencapai target produksi tersebut adalah dengan melaksanakan program Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu (PTT) melalui 60.000 unit sekolah lapang PTT (SL-PTT). Hasil evaluasi pada 2008 dan 2009 menunjukkan, produksi padi melonjak dari 54,45 juta ton pada tahun 2006 menjadi 57,16 juta ton pada 2007, dan pada tahun 2008 dan 2009 produksi masing-masing mencapai 60,33 dan 64,4 juta ton. PHT bertujuan untuk mencapai stabilitas produksi, sedangkan PTT untuk meningkatkan produksi, efisiensi penggunaan input, dan nilai ekonomi tanaman. PTT terdiri atas beberapa komponen, yaitu pengelolaan varietas padi terpadu, pengelolaan nutrisi tanaman terpadu, pengelolaan hama terpadu, pengendalian gulma terpadu, pengelolaan air terpadu, pengelolaan pestisida terpadu, sosial ekonomi, mesin pertanian, dan pascapanen. Dalam era pembangunan pertanian tangguh pada koridor otonomi daerah, diperlukan sinkronisasi antara pusat dan daerah dalam implementasi Permentan No. 45/2011 dan sinergisme antardisiplin ilmu dalam upaya meningkatan produksi dan kesejahteraan petani."

"Efforts to integrated food security and farmer empowerment have become animportant issue today. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to analyze the level of participation of farmers in their group and the empowerment of farmers in the management of rice farming and the factors associated with it, and to analyze the impact of farmer empowerment on sustainability efforts. Fieldwork was conducted in May to June 2012 in two districts in West Java, by taking 239 farmers who had attended the farmer field school. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically based on the descriptive technique and Structural Equations Modeling (SEM). Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interview and observation to support the quantitative data. The results showed that: (1) The levels offarmer participation in the farmer group and the farmer empowerment were classified as low. The Variables that significantly affected the levels of farmer participation in the farmer group were: intensity of empowerment and personality traits. The variables that significantly affected the levels of farmer empowerment were: farmer participation in the farmer group, intensity of empowerment, physical and socio-economic environment, personality traits, and availability of agricultural information. (2) The prospects for sustainability efforts were classified as low. The level of farmer empowerment significantly affected the sustainability of farming; and (3) The increasing level of farmer empowerment can be achieved by better management of empowerment process, with increasing farmer participation in the farmer group, strengthening the availability of agricultural information, and the physical and socio economic environment."

"This book brings together the worldwide knowledge of researchers from Universities and Government institutions, as well as forest industry practitioners that have worked on the pest. Importantly, it is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject since S. noctilio was discovered outside its native range around 1900. The book covers all aspects of the biology and management of S. noctilio, including aspects of the insects? taxonomy, general life history, host-plant relationships, population dynamics, chemical ecology and symbiosis with the fungus Amylostereum areolatum. The book also contains a comprehensive synthesis of the history and current status of the pest and worldwide efforts to control it, including biological control, silviculture and quarantine."

"ABSTRAKA cross sectional study on nutritional status of children from small scale farmers' household applying different cropping pattern, was carried out in Cianjur District, West Java Province, Indonesia. There were 47 households producing vegetable (VPH) and 44 households producing rice (RPH), which were selected. Children from small-scale farmers? households seem to be quite vulnerable of malnutrition. Comparation of these two groups of small-scale farmers showed that stunting prevalence among children belonging to rice farmers' households was greater than children belonging to vegetable farmers. Dietary of nutrient intake was less in children from rice group than children from vegetable group. Monthly expenditure per capita from rice farmers' households was less than vegetable farmers' households had. "

"The excessive use of pesticides in Indonesia during the 1970s and 1980s caused serious environmental problems such as acute and chronic human pesticide poisoning, animal poisoning and contaminated agricultural products, destruction of both beneficial natural parasites and pest predators, and pesticide resistance in pests. To overcome these environmental problems, since 1989 the Indonesian government has actively adopted a strategy of integrated pest management (IPM). During the first few years of the 1PM program's implementation, the program has been able to help farmers reduce the use of pesticides by approximately 56 percent, and increase yields by approximately 10 percent. However, economic literature that analyzes the impact of the IPM program on household incomes and national economic performance is very limited. The general objective of this research is to analyze the impact of the IPM program on Indonesian economic growth and household incomes for different socioeconomic groups.Introduction The chronic food shortage during the first two decades of Indonesian independence (1945-1965) stimulated the Indonesian government to establish a comprehensive food intensification program as a national priority. Achieving and maintaining self-sufficiency in food, increasing farmers' income, and providing strong support for the rapidly expanding industrial and service sectors were the main goals of this food intensification program (Oka, 1995). The food intensification program included large-scale adoption of high-yielding modern seed varieties, development of irrigation systems, expansion of food crop producing areas, increased use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, expansion of agricultural extension services, establishment of farmer cooperatives and input subsidies, and stabilization of national food crop prices (Oka, 1991).During the 1970s and 1980s, this food intensification program caused food crap production to grow at an annual rate of approximately 3.74 percent (CBS, 1973-1991). A major miracle occurred in rice production. Pushing the average annual growth rate of rice production to approximately 4.67 percent, the rice intensification program transformed Indonesia from the world's largest importer of rice, importing approximately two million tons per year by the end of the 1970s, to self-sufficiency in 1983 (Oka, 1991 and 1995)."
