Salah satu program penerapan sistem tanam jajar legowo dilakukan di Desa Ciasmara, Kecamatan Pamijahan, Bogor. Meskipun didukung oleh pemerintah kenyataan di lapangan masih terdapat petani yang tidak menerapkan sistem tanam jajar legowo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pendapatan usahatani padi dengan sistem tanam jajar legowo dan non-jajar legowo yang meliputi struktur biaya dan penerimaan usahatani. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Ciasmara dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 30 petani yang terdiri dari 14 petani jajar legowo dan 16 petani non-jajar legowo.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
