Judul: Analisis Usahatani Tomat Berbasis Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP) di Kecamatan Lembang, Bandung Barat
Abstrak: Tomatoes’ farming potential is not supported by the resources of land and productivity has been fluctuating in recent year, so the Ministry of Agriculture Republic of Indonesia arrange Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) of tomato farming. SOP implementation is expected to increase farmer’s revenue through the production increase, but on the other side SOP implementation will increase the operational cost that decrease farmer’s revenue. The methods used in this study are a qualitative and quantitative analysis method. Qualitative analysis method is used to determine the general description.Quantitative analysis is used to analyze the cost and revenue by farm income analysis, input-output efficiency, and the factors that influence the production of tomato.The results show that analysis of a tomato farm based on Standar Operational Procedures (SOP) is more effective and efficient than the conventional tomato farm

Judul: Analisa usahatani dan pemasaran tomat di Kecamatan Lembang, Kabupaten Bandung Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa keadaan usahatani dan pemasaran tomat di kecamatan Lembang, dengan melihat biaya produksi, saluran pemasaran, struktur, tingkah laku dan keragaan pasar, serta menghitung marjin pemasaran pada setiap rantai pemasaran dan pada akhirnya menilai efisiensi pemasaran. Kecamatan Lembang dipilih sebagai daerah penelitian, karena merupakan salah satu dari daerah sentra produksi sayur-sayuran untuk daerah Jawa Barat, dan sekaligus sebagai daerah KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) penulis. Penelitian dititik beratkan pada pendekatan komoditi, sehingga perlu penelusuran dari tingkat usahatani sampai konsumen akhir. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Mei sampai Juni dan dilanjutkan pada bulan September untuk pengambilan data sekunder, sedangkan untuk menghitung marjin pemasaran diambil data pada tanggal 27 Mei 1986. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa luas panen dan produksi tomat di kecamatan Lembang selalu berfluktuasi. Rata-rata luas panen adalah 102.75 ha/bulan, dengan produksi rata-rata 1 258 ton/bulan.

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.
