Moreover, partially, cultural factors, social factors, personal factors, psychological factors, and physical evidence had a significant effect on consumers’ coffee purchasing decisions at Resto Banaran 9

Shallot 'lembah palu' variety is the main raw material for fried onion industry in Central Sulawesi. This study aims to examine the LEISA technology package through the use of liquid and solid organic fertilizers from agricultural waste in order to obtain the quality of shallot bulbs that are good as raw material for fried onions. Research using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was repeated 4 (four) times. Treatment consists of: (A)= without organic fertilizer; (B)= liquid organic fertilizer (Biourin 40 mL/L of water); (C)= solid organic fertilizer (bokashi goat manure 20 ton/ha); (D)= solid organic fertilizer (bokashi goat manure 10 ton/ha) + liquid organic fertilizer (Biourin 20 mL/L of water); (E) = solid organic fertilizer (bokashi goat manure 20 ton/ha) + liquid organic fertilizer (Biourin 40 mL/L of water); (F)= solid organic fertilizer (20 ton/ha bokashi mixture of goat manure and shallot residues); (G)= solid organic fertilizer 20 ton/ha bokashi mixture of goat manure and shallot residues)+liquid organic fertilizer (Biourin 30 mL/L of water); (H)= solid organic 10 ton/ha bokashi mixture of goat manure and shallot residues)+liquid organic fertilizer (Biourin 60 mL/L of water; and (I)= solid organic fertilizer 30 ton/ha bokashi mixture of goat manure and shallot residues)+ liquid organic fertilizer (Biourin 60 mL/L of water). The results of the study were (i) the combination of types and doses of organic fertilizer in general resulted in higher growth and yield of shallots compared to without organic fertilizers, and (ii) a combination of solid organic fertilizer (mixture 20 ton/ha bokashi goat manure and shallot residue), produce number of  leaves, leaf dry weight, fresh weight per tuber, and fresh weight of tuber per hectare higher than without organic fertilizer.

Paddy is one of the important cereal crops as food a main  food for a third of the world's population, including Asia. Production of paddy rice plants can be improved through plant genetic improvement. The ebjective of this study was examine the genetic diversity, heritability, and correlation between the characteristics of several local upland rice cultivars. This study was carried out in Tamarenja Village, Sindue District, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. It was began in May to October 2018. A Randomized Block Design with eight cultivars as a genotypic treatment and reapeted three times was used in this study. There were 24 trial plots in total. Variables observed included plant height, number of leaves, length of leaves, number of tillers, number of productive tillers, age of panicle exit, panicle length, harvest age, number of seeds per panicle, seed length, seed diameter, weight of 100 seeds, and total yield. The results showed that the genetic influences were more dominant than the environment on all observed variables except the weight of 100 seeds and seed diameter. The number of seeds per panicle, the number of tillers and the number of productive tillers were traits that have a high value on heritability and genetic progress. Panicle length, seed diameter and weight of 100 seeds were characteristics that have a high genetic correlation coefficient on upland rice yields. The weight of 100 seeds has a direct influence and high genetic correlation to the results so that it can be used as a direct selection criterion to increase upland rice yields.

Bacterial leaf blight disease caused by Pantoea ananatis has been reported affects some species of Allium spp. Here, we determined the species of Allium spp. that are not the hosts of the P.ananatis through a host range test. The study designed as a completely randomized design with five replications. Pathogenic bacteria of P. ananatis inoculated to shallot, onion, spring onion, garlic, chives, leek, and cung spring onion in the greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture Tadulako University. The incubation period and symptoms of after inoculated by P. ananatis then observed. The results showed that four llium species (onion, onion, scallion, and garlic) were hosts of    P. ananatis while the other three species (chives, leek, and cung spring onion) were not hosts of   P. ananatis.

Population growth and regional expansion has increased land needs for settlement, agriculture, and trade in the Palu watershed causing much pressure on the upper part of the watershed where Miu watershed is situated  The general aim of the research was to generate strategy for sustainable land resources management in the Miu watershed as a buffer zone of the Lore-Lindu National Park.  The objective of the research were 1) to predict soil erosion and sedimentation, 2) to analyze the feasibility of dominant farming systems, 3) to analyze rural development, and 4) to analyze community preference on land use priority. The erosion and sedimentation, and feasibility research was conducted through soil survey and socio-economic approach.  The rural development index was determined using secondary data taken from related institution such as demography, regional structure and infra structure, and industrial-trade condition. The preferential analysis of land use priority for 10 years ahead was done using focus group discussion with farmer community leaders.  The soil erosion rate was light - heavy whilst the soil erosion index was low - very high estimated by the USLE.  The relationship between the river debit and suspended load at the upper and lower part of the watershed was found to follow the equation of Y= 0.001X^1.366 (R²= 0.65), and Y = 0.001 X^1.409 (R² = 0.66), respectively. Three villages included Pakuli, Pandere, and Bolapapu had high index of rural development whereas low index was found in Lonca, Bangga and Tangkulowi.  The high-low order of land use priority was agro forestry, cacao monoculture, fresh water fishery, wetland rice, ruminant grazing, mixed culture of rice, soy bean, cassava and maize, and poultry farming.

The research objective was to identify the impact of enso towards households’ farmer income in impenso region. Data were collected from 250 farmer households which were randomly selected in ten villages at six subdistricts of Donggala Regency. All the farmers were interviewed with an aid of questionnaire. Data collected were tabulated and analysed using a multiple regresion model. Dummy variable was applied to identify the impact of enso towards households’ farmer income. The analysis showed that R² was 60.9% with an F-value of 139, indicating that there was the impact of enso on households' farmer income. The households’ farmer income in the year without enso was shown to be higher than that in the year with enso.

Palm oil is one of the leading commodities in the world market that contributes to the Indonesian economy. In fulfilling market demand but environmental friendly, the Indonesian government issued a policy of sustainable standards known as the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) principle. This study aims to determine the farmers' perception of ISPO in the community of oil palm farmers in West Java. This study designed as qualitative research. The results show that not all standards were sustainable. ISO has been applied to oil palm plantations in West Java. For this reason, government efforts were needed to assist farmers in implementing the ISPO

Central Sulawesi is the largest cocoa bean producer in Indonesia. However, cocoa production constrained by important diseases. Currently, data about cocoa beandamage due to pathogen infection have not been updated. This study observed the incidence of major diseases in cacao plantations, included pod rot, canker, and vascular-streak dieback (VSD). The study located at the largest cacao plantation in Palolo, Central Sulawesi. The observation pronounced that the cacao trees in the study sites were infected by the pathogens of pod rot, canker, and VSD with different incidence levels. VSD was a disease with the highest incidence and distribution in the cacao plantations. Besides, this study also described the symptom of the disease.
