Abstrak: Integrated Crop Management (ICM) is a technology that can be used to increase rice productivity. Though it has been implemented since 2008, only few farmers that implement the ICM. Therefore this study was conducted to measure the level of ICM implementation, to seek the determinants of ICM implementation and to find out the effect of ICM implementation on farm production, farm income and farm efficiency in Ciherang Village, Dramaga, Bogor, West Java. The result of this research indicated that the ICM implementation level of ICM farmers is higher (over 50 percent) than the ICM implementation level of non-ICM farmers (under 50 percent). The low ICM implementation was caused by the higher cost on farm operation and labor. ICM Implementation in Ciherang was affected significantly by some factors such as age, farming experience, education, family size, land area, land tenure, rice farming purposes and ICM field school experience. rice farming significantly produced higher total R/C ratio than conventional rice farming.

Abstrak: Riceis a commodity that has been still the staple food of Indonesia so far. Riceis also acommodity that canaffect thesocio-economic conditions, andstate politics. However,related to the currentrice commodities in Indonesia, rice store that has suffered the drawback. Farmer sare required to participatein building the strength of the national food through increased productivity. The claimis often hampered by the powerlessness of farmers in the ability to apply (adoption) the technology. Integrated Crop Management (ICM) is one of the government's efforts to realize the successful achievement of sustainable self-sufficiency through increased productivity. ICM is a participatory holistic approach tailored to site-specific conditions. Therefore, it is not a technology package that must be applied by farmers in all locations. ICM goal is to improve the livelihoods of farmers through the application of appropriate technology to local conditions. The success of a program is influenced by knowledge, skills, and attitudes of actors/doers (farmers) in the field. Research to be conducted is expected to provide feedback information to the farmers' understanding towards this methods asthe efforts to increase rice productivity. This study took place in Pancawati village Caringin bogor. Research subjects in this study are all members of farmer groups in the Pancawati village Caringin bogor. The sampling technique used is using census technique, so the respondents in this study are the entire population of the 125 farmers. Data analysis in this study uses descriptive analysis and SEM (Structural Equation Model) by using PLS program. The analysisconducted inthis study, it can be concluded thatthe responsesof farmers towards this method in improvingrice productivityare good. This can be indicated byrespondents perceptions ofthe knowledge, skillsandgood attitude. Based on the SEM PLS,the knowledge and skills affect productivity but higher skills than the loading factor productivity of knowledge that is more influenced by the skills of farmers but farmers have not been able to make modifications because of conceptual knowledge or lack of knowledge that needed assistance because it involves the application of field and field of technical skills to be successful applying the method of PTT. In the long term knowledge is also needed so that farmers can provide innovation input, modify the method of PTT, PTT method helps application problems. It is shown by the different manner in which the attitude variable does not affect productivity.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Tubuh Buaya Senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii)
Abstrak: Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan buaya besar yang rentan punah dan hanya dapat ditemukan di rawa dataran rendah, danau dan sungai di Sumatera bagian timur, Kalimantan dan Jawa Barat (Indonesia), Serawak, Semenanjung Malaysia (Malaysia) serta Brunei Darussalam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet tubuh buaya senyulong yang dikaitkan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian ini menggunakan satu set preparat skelet tubuh buaya senyulong. Parameter penelitian meliputi pengamatan bentuk bagian skelet yang khas, mengukur panjang dan lebar tulang, serta dibandingkan dengan skelet tubuh jenis buaya lain, biawak air (Varanus salvator) maupun literatur yang terkait dengan sistem skelet tubuh hewan. Karakteristik anatomi skelet tubuh buaya senyulong relatif mirip pada jenis buaya lain. Beberapa karakteristik yang ditemukan yaitu, proatlas pada os atlas, os axis hanya memiliki zygapophysis caudalis, bagian lateral dari ossa vertebrae cervicales yang dilengkapi dengan cervical ribs, memiliki jumlah costae sternalis yang banyak, rangkaian ossa gastralia pada abdomen, ossa vertebrae lumbales memiliki zygapophysis cranialis dengan sudut >90o dari sumbu tubuh. Selain itu, os vertebrae caudalis I memiliki caput cranial dan caudal, ossa vertebrae caudales memiliki processus transversus yang semakin memendek ke arah caudal. Di medioventral tulang ini ditemukan ossa chevron dengan hemal arch sampai menjelang akhir ossa vertebrae caudalis. Skelet tubuh buaya senyulong memiliki hubungan yang kokoh dan kompak untuk menunjang fleksibilitas tubuh untuk berjalan, berenang dan berburu mangsa
