Vol. 22 No. 3 (2025): Jurnal Ilmiah Pertanian

Jurnal Ilmiah Pertanian Volume 22 Issue 3 (2025) features six peer-reviewed articles addressing key themes in contemporary agricultural science, including crop protection, sustainable production systems, agro-industrial innovation, value chain analysis, and risk management in tropical and smallholder-based agriculture. The contributions combine experimental studies, field evaluations, socio-economic analyses, and conceptual perspectives to respond to practical and systemic challenges in developing agricultural regions. This issue includes studies on the in vitro antifungal activity of plant-derived acetogenin–curcumin extracts against Fusarium spp., the growth response of pakchoi (Brassica rapa L.) to bio-slurry liquid organic fertilizer intervals, and crop improvement through putative polyploid induction in emprit ginger for bacterial wilt suppression. An integrated production risk analysis of clove plantations in West Sumatra further highlights multidimensional challenges in commodity-based farming systems.

In addition, the issue presents an agro-industrial study on the valorization of pineapple peel waste into nata de pina, demonstrating opportunities for value addition and circular economy practices. A perspective article on sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) value chains in smallholder systems broadens the scope by examining structural and institutional constraints affecting coordination, inclusiveness, and value creation. Through its diverse contributions, this issue emphasizes applied innovation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary thinking in support of resilient and responsible agricultural systems.
