The Agricultural Potential Of Indonesia

The Agricultural Potential Of Indonesia

Indonesia said the country's Jambrut at the equator, “gemah Ripah Lohjinawi” said the Javanese. I think that is the case, if we look at the 2010 – 2014 renstra agricultural potential, particularly in the areas of Indonesia, an agricultural farming potential of What Indonesia?
Proverbial stick of bamboo so plants, people say our soil ground of heaven,
This review I for some upload phase, given the potential for such a large number of agricultural Indonesia.


1. The agricultural potential of Indonesia's first : biodiversity and Agroekosistem.

Indonesia has the potential of natural resources, including the germplasm, which overflows (mega biodiversity). Bio-diversity of terrestrial Indonesia is the largest number two in the world after Brazil, whereas when including marine biodiversity, Indonesia is the largest number one in the world. This can be seen with the various types of agricultural commodities in food crops, horticulture, orchards and farms which have long sought as a source of food and income for the community. A supported plurality of biodiversity of today with the distribution of geographical conditions of the low and high; abundance of sunshine and rainfall intesitas almost evenly throughout the year in most regions; as well as a plurality of types of soils allows today's preserved various types of plants and animals native to the tropics, as well as the commodity introduction of tropical sub areas evenly throughout the year in Indonesia.
Variety and magnitude of the number of germplasm of plants and animals, both native to the tropics and the introduction of the commodities that have to adapt to the tropical climate, on the other side is the source of genetic material that can be engineered to produce superior crop varieties and klone and the cattle.
The agricultural potential of Indonesia, much utilized by other countries such as Netherlands, France, America etc in getting germplasm among other seed-seed farm, in the implementation of the checklist has been developed to form agricultural seeds industry. Most of the productnya was brought to the land of the Westerner. This is based on information from the workforce (native Indonesians)

2. The agricultural potential of Indonesia in the second agricultural : lands Indonesia has the potential availability of land big enough and not yet utilized optimally. Data from academic studies carried out by the Directorate General of Land and Water Management, Ministry of agriculture in 2006 showed that the total land area of Indonesia's 202 million ha, is divided into 123 million ha (64.6 percent) is the cultivation and the remaining 67 million ha (35.4 percent) is a protected area. Of the total cultivated area, potentially to an agricultural area 101 million ha, including wetlands covering an area of 25.6 million ha, dry land crop season 25.3 million ha and dry land crops yearly 50.9 million ha. Until recently, the area of agriculture, potentially to an already cultivated into agricultural area by 47 million ha, so that the remaining 54 million ha of potentially agricultural area for the expansion.

3. The agricultural potential of Indonesia a third much more, if there's time to look at a very famous natural beauty of this.
Number of extents and the distribution of forests, rivers, swamps and lakes as well as rainfall is quite high and evenly throughout the year was a natural potential to meet the needs of water for agriculture
If managed properly. Reservoirs, dams, water and soil as well as embung surface water as well as other very potential for supporting the development of agricultural enterprises.

Agricultural potential is very comforting to Indonesia, at the break we need entertainment amongst the bustle of the Office. Moreover, for the tourists very need fresh green scenery of the nan as the eye can see, the green of the tropical plants there is a very impressive second to none in the world.

Maximum Fruitless Coffee

Coffee plants are very fertile in the tropics

"That's the impact of the high rainfall," said a resident in the village of Sidomulyo Subdistrict Sumbermanjing answers the question "I Love Indonesia" about the lack of fruit masel coffee coffee plants generated there, whereas the tree looks thrives. Under normal circumstances, the fruit of the coffee will be lined up along the coffee tree branches. Are the fruit of the coffee that is not how much menggerombol. Even among them already damaged before it is picked.

The village that administratively enter Sidomulyo Subdistrict Sumbermanjing are at an altitude of 375 m above sea level. Geomorfologinya is a hilly and steep around areas adjacent to the South seas, namely Indonesia Ocean/Indian Ocean. Geologically, the area is composed of limestone rock formations which seen intermittent alternating volcanic rock. Even among discovered also a kind of metamorphic rock. The soil is relatively lush vegetation cover in the form of agriculture with plantation.

As in thepost-– right before, that the area was producing plantation area of clove, coconut, coffee, banana, mangosteen, durian, and some other agricultural products. The area is also rich in minerals and minerals. Extreme rainfall as a result of global climate disruption "La Nina" plantation down, resulting in a product like coffee. It appears powerful influence of the climate (in this case to the high rainfall) to the development of plant fertilization, coffee plantation is no exception.

Coffee grown in the village there are two types, namely robusta and Arabica coffee. But that seems to dominate the robusta coffee plant plantation residents. There have since robusta featuring smaller than Arabica coffee is easier treatment and soil pests and diseases.

The Hill Remains in Mining Area

 Natural phenomena Indonesia

 

There are at least three places ever see related phenomena in the picture on the side. The remaining hills in the area of the phenomena of mining. All three are on the karst. Two phenomena in the former mining Limenstone in district Pagak and in district Kalipare. Being the third one, as shown in the figure on the side, found at the site of mining piropilit which is currently still actively exploited in Sumbermanjing. All three were in the stands foursquare like the thumb who raised up to the peak of overgrown by vegetation.

"I Love Indonesia" only suspect that the rest of it occurred because the constituent rocks that form the rest of it has a high level of violence. Mine workers were leaving for granted because it remains Hill steel equipment they use unable tore and destroyed the Hill. Even according to the word that, for the rest of the Subdistrict's remains solid despite Pagak around it were demolished using dynamite. Hence how the rock hardness according to Moh scale? What minerals that make up the rocks?

As we know together that to declare the hardness minerals, experts often use the Moh scale is expressed with numbers from 1 to 10. One example, a scale of 1 to 2, the scale of mineral talk to gypsum, calcite scales, scale 3 to 4 to scale, the scale of 5 to fluorit apatit, ortoklas, scale 6 to 7 scale for quartz, the scale of 8 to 9 scale, topas for corundum, and scale of 10 for diamonds (Understanding Earth in Adi Susilo, 2010). Take only the next mineral Quartz.

This new Mineral quartz can be divided when using steel-fisted. So what's the rest of the Hill many contain quartz? Could be, because in the piropilit quarry in the vicinity that piropilit itself also contains Quartz. Piropilit and quartz are both in a group of silicate minerals. Nevertheless not closed presumably Hill rest contains corundum, considering there is corundum can also happen in the process of metamorphosis in batugamping. What's piropilit has a similar color with corundum. Color of corundum is gray, blue, pink, red, yellow, green, and violet (red-violet), or black.

Even in its site http://skywalker.cochise.edu/wellerr/mineral/corundum/nineral-prop.htm,, Roger Weller also describe the sample images that are brown corundum, in addition to pink. So the violence there in the hills of the minerals that it remains in the scale of 9? Then the next question is, why if it's not all alleged corundum taken? What they don't know? Or what because it is not economical? That's a series of questions that might be able to gain many more questions can be asked. Practically it should take some of the remains were then tested in the laboratory of physical and chemical carefully.

The result is definitely known, mineral-what is contained in the rest of it and obtained the conclusion that the mineral sebab-musababnya was abandoned just asthe rest of the Hill.

Flower Soka In Indonesia

Soka Flower Indonesia native plants

 

I am interested with this flower because of three things. First, this vibrant and growing interest around the neighborhood where I live, including in my workplace. Second, there's never been a friend recommends trying in the field of mass planting flowers soka. Third, when I was a child his nose had conceded this fruit plants soka.

The flower is a lot of life around the neighborhood where I live. Once out of the House, my gaze has always been disuguni by Red meronanya flowers of this shrub vegetation endearing. His Latin name plant Ixora Sp. This flowering year-round, although never taken care of though. From my observation that glimpse, soka can live on land with the State of the type of sharing the weight though, i.e. on the textured clay or even a textured clay.

Initially I assumed it only live on the island of Java. It turns out that according to http://free.vlsm.org, soka spread not only in Java but is also found in Sumatra island and the island of ternate in the name of the area respectively. Soka consists of two types.  

According to http://www.tanindo.com, two types of soka soka it is native to Java (Ixora Javanica) and soka hybrid. Three examples of soka Ixoca Coccinea hybrid that is, Ixoca, and Ixoca Chinensis Fulgen. Soka local (see picture) of the original Java height can reach more than 4 m. Circumference of the base of the stem can reach 40 cm. 

Rods of this dark-colored dikotil that sometimes accompanied spots by lichens are much attached to the stem, branches, and twigs with a taproot. Its relatively hard. The shape of the leaves tapering to the size of the maximum length of 2 cm and a width of 24, leaves the Central 9, 6 cm. The color red flowers with clustered. Being for soka hybrid in all things, its size is smaller.  

The advantages of a hybrid color flowers are more soka varied and easily cultivated. The color of flowers there are hybrid soka red, Orange, pink, yellow, etc.

In his speech, http://free.vlsm.org explains that this in addition to having the soka a beautiful flower, as well as nutritious as new drug cuts by mashing the smooth stems and roots that then smeared onto the injured. Are chemical content of soka it is saponim and flavonoida.

Among the public, plants the soka often as an ornamental plant. The ornamental plant hobbyists often put him in the gardens as outdoor plant because it is all about soka living in the open, although it can also be used as an ornamental plant in the room (indoor). In addition, clumps of flowers soka often used by some communities to flower sow. As the flower blooms soka often sow, mixed with rose, jasmine, ylang ylang flower, flower kanthil, etc.  

The flower is the flower which sow by some communities for studded in certain places, for example, in the Tomb or for a certain ritual activities. It needs a flower soka for these activities is relatively high. Meanwhile supply is not balanced. It caused the pengepul flowers soka should get around to different villages to seek such interest from House to House. Yet many people are mengebunkan these flowers specifically as a plant holtikultura.  

Lantara was a friend of mine a while nyeletuk, offered me to mengebunkan soka. "But the soka required to interest the local soka original sow is, not that small it (IE not soka hybrid). Soka is small it does not conduct "says a friend. "Later if successful, let me know. My friends who will buy the merchant rates sow crops flower sokanya results. I've tried to harvest, but to no avail "imbuh a friend. Initially I was interested.  

Thought I, land in front of the libraries of the school and in some other place that allows planting soka. Was reflected in the mind, the land of sleep in front of the library was later so flushed by flower soka, students who participated in extracurricular landscaping can be new knowledge and experience, in addition to later be revenue from the sale of flowers. However the shadow that I break myself after a friend had said to flower sow.  

Although secretly I trying to harvest them in the House that I live to add to the collection of ornamental plants. Venture planting I did using the cuttings of the stem. In this way that I did so to find the fruit is not as easy to find the flowers. In addition there have when planting soka can by using the way stem cuttings. But what happened? It turned out the way that I did not succeed. Rod's on the ground that the soka it dries.

I was surprised when I was a kid can find fruit soka to created toys and then put the nose which was lodged in the nostrils. Father-in-law had panicked. Father-in-law did not dare to remove it from fruit soka nostril grandson, although he was a paramedic who work operate on patients. Often doing surgery. It turns out that paramedics are also human beings. Deal with patients that there is no blood link directly can toughen up, but once faced his grandson's own conditions of different psychological novels.

CLIFF KAOLIN

A picture listed kaolin cliffs on the side of the upright is a cliff as high as more or less 2, 40 m, composed of minerals kaolin. Cliff kaolin was formed because of outcrops made man. The cliff is land belonging to residents in it there are building homes and yards. The cliff is located in the village of kaolin Kedungbanteng Subdistrict Sumbermanjing, Malang.  

That's one of the locations of field-college students majoring in Physics-Geology/Geophysics study programs FMIPA  Brawijaya University (UB) Malang, East Java. College square is guided directly by the Chairman of the Department of physics/Geophysical Studies Program, Adi Susilo, P.Hd on Sunday, June 12, 2011. In the activity of this Adi Susilo, p. Hd invites principal SMAN 1 Sumbermanjingwetan Drs. Ibnu Harsoyo and Senior Teacher of SMAN 1 Pagak to subjects geography of Iswahyudiharto, S.Pd.

Minerals Kaolin, kaolin (Al2O32SiO4.2 H2O) is one example of high-quality, software, and not plastis. The minerals constituting is kaolinit, nakrit, and little violence between 2-2.5 and the weight of its kind 2.6-autoconf. As it appears on the image, the color of the minerals it is white, gray, white and pinkish.  

In addition there is also a kaolin that is colored gray, yellowish, or pinkish. Deposits of kaolin goes through weathering and decomposition of igneous and metamorphic rock rich in aluminum silicates (gramit, greissen, and porfiri quartz). Deposit of kaolin can also occur by the process of kaolinisasi on the rocks of the felsfatik, where the mineral potash minerals-silicates and aluminium feldspar was changed to kaolin.

When a student asked the owner of the benefits of kaolin, land which is above the cliff suddenly said, "to paint Yes Sir". It is true, one of the benefits of kaolin in everyday life is for the manufacture of paint. In addition, kaolin was also utilized for ceramics; refractory materials; porcelain; the material mix in the paper industry, textile, rubber, pharmaceuticals, shoe Polish, toothpaste, compounds, and other chemical industries; as well as the plaster walls. Remember! Refractory used in making a shuttle belonging to the United States it comes from kaolin.

Difference Igneous Out Products Of Mount Semeru and Kelud

The lithosphere is derived from lithos and sfer/fer/faira. Lithos meaning stone and fer means layers. Thus the lithosphere means rock. Is the science that study it's Geology. A branch of Geology which studies rocks is called Petrology. The branch of Geology which studies the minerals or mineral is called Mineralogy. Was the study of crystals is called Kritalogi. 

The lithosphere is often called the skin of the Earth/Earth's crust (crust). The parent of all the rocks in the lithosphere is the magma (molten rock). According to the process of occurrence and its formation, the rock in the face of the Earth are classified into three groups of rocks. Rocks-rocks are:

1. igneous rocks
2. rocks of sedimentary deposits/(other rock)
3. Metamorphic Rocks

Igneous rocks (igneous rock rock) is a rock that is formed because the magma freezes through a process of cooling. Based on the freezing of magma, igneous is distinguished into three kinds, namely: 

Igneous in (inner igneous rock rock) is formed in igneous magma (batholit), located deep within the Earth and having the process cooling in a very long time. The rock is often called the rocks the rocks of the abisis plutonic rocks/.

1. igneous korok/gang/porfirik (' korok'igneus rock or hypabyssal rock) are the igneous rocks formed in the korok/gang/the pipes drain a volcano (in diatrema) or in the formation of other intrusion.
2. igneous out/efusif (outer igneous rock rock/effusive rock) are the igneous rocks formed in the Earth's surface with a relatively quick process of freezing.

For the next study we only leads to igneous. Considering the formation of this rock in a relatively quick, of rocks has its crystal grain characteristics: subtle, even amorphous and partially exposing the holes the former existence of a trapped gas.

One example is andesitic igneous rocks out. Andesite according to Bagja Waluya (2007: 110) was "rock leleran of diorit, fine-grained minerals, the composition mineralnya with diorit, grey". Next Bagja Waluya mentions that the volcano in Indonesia produces rocks andesite lava in the form of piroklastika. A lot of rocks andesite containing hornblende andesite called hornblenda, while many contain piroksin called andesite piroksin.

As such, the two images that according to the rock seems to me is an andesitic rock. The image below is the outer product of igneous mountain most high and most active on the island of Java, i.e. volcanoes Semeru. Characteristics of rock colors gray "kehijau-biruan: java-language". Are the images of the outer product of igneous kelud which shows the typical grey colour rocks andesite. Both volcano is a mountain range in Central Java to the 

East, including on the bow of the Sunda arc--Banda, extract from sirkum the Mediterranean. Even the two volcanoes in East Java province was only a straight km in the past, the rocks of the andesite is used for materials of the temple. One example in candi Penataran at mBlitar. Being at the moment, these rocks are widely used for building foundations, paved roads, as well as speaker for the construction of the concrete. 

Rocks of andesite unsweetened/sheet used for stone decorations on the walls of the settlements are located.
