Mengapa Petani Thailand Makmur ?

Kami sarikan dari Koran Harian Serambi Indonesia di Citizen Reporter pada hari rabu tanggal 12 September 2012, disebutkan bahwa penyebab Petani Thailand Makmur adalah karena : pemerintah Thailand memproteksi petaninya, maksudnya pemerintah Thailand membantu dan menganyomi dengan sungguh2 terhadap warganya yang petani. Disamping itu juga pemerintah Thailand membagi kawasan2 pertanian, misal untuk daerah A diplot pertanian sayur2an dan daerah B buah2an dan seterusnya. Juga pemerintah Thailand menyediakan sarana pelabuhan2 laut yang memadai untuk menunjang hasil pertanian  ditiap-tiap wilayah tersebut supaya memudahkan untuk diexsport.

Lantas bagaimana dengan Aceh (khususnya) dan Indonesia (umumnya),????

Penyiapan Lahan

Maaf ya..kami bukan tipe manusia yang cepat menyerah ( Bukan sombong lho). Biasanya gelondongan seperti ini diangkut oleh "Nok", namun karena "Nok" sudah duluan dibooking orang lain maka terpaksalah kami sendiri yang menjadi "Nok" nya. Kami bertekad akan menyiapkan lahan secepat kami bisa...

Jembatan

Puas rasanya menatap jembatan yang hampir rampung kami kerjakan, letih dan penat tak terkira namun tak terasa setelah melihat kalau ternyata potongan2 pohon kelapa dan pinang berhasil dan selesai kami angkat ke tujuan. Seberat apapun "masalah" ternyata jika ada "kemauan" benar2 pasti ada "cara" penyelesaiannya..."Nok oh Nok"...

Gubuk, Gudang, Rangkang, Huma.

Sebuah Lahan Pertanian sangat memerlukan Sarana untuk dijadikan tempat berteduh, orang menyebut sarana tersebut dengan berbagai macam sebutan. Ada yang menyebutnya dengan Huma, Gubuk, Gudang, Rangkang atau lain2, yang jelas itu adalah maksudnya sarana untuk dijadikan sebagai tempat berteduh dari terik matahari atau guyuran hujan dan sekaligus tempat menyimpan bahan2 atau alat2 pertanian baik berupa cangkul, alat semprot, pupuk dan lain2.
Langit Agro pun tak ketinggalan dalam soal itu.Terlihat gambar mulai saat proses pertama pembangunan sampai selesai. Adapun luas bangunan tersebut  adalah 4 X 7 M.

Persiapan Pembangunan Jalan

Sedang mempersiapkan Chainsaw untuk membabat belukar yang akan dibangun jalan terobos untuk menuju Lahan Penanaman Pepaya Alue Punoe . Ini " kejadiannya " pada Sabtu tanggal 08 September (ceria) 2012.

Survey Lokasi Gudang Alue Punoe

Tim Langit Agro sedang menentukan tempat yang cocok untuk membangun Gudang yang akan dipersiapkan untuk tempat menyimpan alat2 pertanian sekaligus untuk tempat rehat dan Mushalla.

Pemerintah Aceh dan Kawasan Agropolitan

Pengertian Kawasan Agropolitan

Kamis, 06 September 2012 01:30 administrator

Sesuai Undang-Undang Nomor 26 Tahun 2007 tentang Penataan Ruang, Kawasan Agropolitan adalah kawasan yang teridiri dari satu atau lebih pusat kegiatan pada wilayah pedesaan sebagai sistem produksi pertanian dan pengelolaan sumber daya alam tertentu yang ditunjukkan oleh adanya keterkaitan fungsional dan hirakhi keruangan satuan sistem permukiman dan sistem agribisnis ( Pasal 1, Ayat 24). Untuk itu agropolitan merupakan suatu pendekatan pembangunan melalui gerakan masyarakat dalam membangun ekonomi berbasis pertanian (agribisnis) secara terpadu dan berkelanjutan pada kawasan terpilih melalui pengembangan infrastruktur perdesaan yang mampu melayani, mendorong, dan memacu pembangunan pertanian di wilayah sekitarnya.

Prinsip dasar pengembangan kawasan agropolitan adalah : (1) Agropolitan merupakan pendekatan pembangunan kawasan perdesaan berbasis agribisnis (Kimbun, Kunak, Kawasan TP dan Kawasan Sayur dan Buah-Buahan); (2) Pengembangan agropolitan merupakan program utama dan kegiatan terpadu lintas sektor dengan pendekatan bottom up; (3) Penetapan kawasan agropolitan dimulai dengan penataan detail kawasan dalam bentuk cetak (blue print); (4) Perencanaan disusun secara bersama antara instansi pemerintah, masyarakat tani, dan swasta/dunia usaha dan dimasukkan dalam Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah di Pusat dan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Daerah di Provinsi, Kabupaten/Kota; dan (5) Pengembangan kawasan agropolitan harus berdasarkan Master Plan yang disepakati oleh seluruh pemangku kepentingan.

Pengembangan Kawasan Agrpolitan bertujuan untuk : (1) Menumbuhkembangkan pusat pertumbuhan ekonomi baru berbasis pertanian (agribisnis) di perdesaan; (2) Membuka lapangan kerja baru bagi masyarakat perdesaan melalui kegiatan-kegiatan ekonomi berbasis agribisnis; (3) Menumbuhkembangkan lembaga-lembaga ekonomi di perdesaan; (4) Meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat; dan (5) Mewujudkan tata ruang ideal antara kota dengan desa yang saling mendukung melengkapi dan memperkuat.

Untuk kriteria kawasan, pengembangan kawasan agropolitan harus memiliki : (1) Daya dukung sumberdaya alam dan potensi fisik yang memungkinkan (kesesuaian lahan, agroklimat, dan agroekologi) untuk dapat dikembangkan sistem dan usaha agribisnis berbasis komoditas unggulan; (2) Komoditas pertanian unggulan yang dapat menggerakkan ekonomi kawasan; (3) Perbandingan luas kawasan dengan jumlah penduduk, ideal untuk membangun sistem dan usaha agribisnis dalam skala ekonomu dan jenis usaha tertentu; (4) Tersedia prasarana (infrastruktur) dan sarana produksi dasar yang memadai seperti pengairan, listrik, transportasi, pasar lokal dan kios sarana produksi; dan (5) Memiliki suatu lokasi yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai pusat pelayanan, penghubung dengan daerah/kawasan sekitarnya yang terintegrasi secara fungsional..

.Kira2 apakah Pemerintah Aceh bisa mewujudkan (kalau tidak bisa semua) salah satu kabupatennya untuk menjadi Kawasan Agropolitan "sejati".?..Semoga Kabupaten Bireuen akan menjadi Kawasan Agropolitan yang "sejati". , dan kami dari Pepaya Langit Agriculture siap mendukungnya..Amiin..!

Jenis dan Macam Pepaya

Jenis Tanaman Buah Pepaya Pepaya merupakan tanaman buah berupa herba dari famili Caricaceae yang berasal dari Amerika Tengah dan Hindia Barat bahkan kawasan sekitar Mexsiko dan Coasta Rica. Tanaman pepaya banyak ditanam orang, baik di daeah tropis maupun sub tropis. di daerah-daerah basah dan kering atau di daerah-daerah dataran dan pegunungan (sampai 1000 m dpl). Buah pepaya merupakan buah meja bermutu dan bergizi yang tinggi.

JENIS TANAMAN

1) Pepaya Jantan

Pohon pepaya ini memiliki bunga majemuk yang bertangkai panjang dan bercabang-cabang. Bunga pertama terdapat pada pangkal tangkai. Ciri-ciri bunga jantan ialah putih/bakal buah yang rundimeter yang tidak berkepala, benang sari tersusun dengan sempurna.

2) Pepaya Betina

Pepaya ini memiliki bunga majemuk artinya pada satu tangkai bunga terdapat beberapa bunga. Tangkai bunganya sangat pendek dan terdapat bunga betina kecil dan besar. Bunga yang besar akan menjadi buah. Memiliki bakal buah yang sempurna, tetapi tidak mempunyai benang sari, biasanya terus berbunga sepanjang tahun.

3) Pepaya Sempurna

Memiliki bunga yang sempurna susunannya, bakal buah dan benang sari dapat melakukan penyerbukan sendiri maka dapat ditanam sendirian. Terdapat 3 jenis pepaya sempurna, yaitu:

Pepaya (Boh Putek) Wikipedia

PAPAYA
Carica papaya L.
Caricaceae
Common Names: Papaya, Papaw or Paw Paw (Australia), Mamao (Brazil), Tree Melon.
Related Species: Babaco (Carica pentagona), Mountain Papaya (C. pubescens), Chamburo (C. stipulata).
Origin: The papaya is believed to be native to southern Mexico and neighboring Central America. It is now present in every tropical and subtropical country.
Adaptation: Papayas have exacting climate requirements for vigorous growth and fruit production. They must have warmth throughout the year and will be damaged by light frosts. Brief exposure to 32° F is damaging and prolonged cold without overhead sprinkling will kill the plants. Cold, wet soil is almost always lethal. Cool temperatures will also alter fruit flavor. Papayas make excellent container and greenhouse specimens where soil moisture and temperature can be moderated.
DESCRIPTION
Growth Habit: The papaya is a short-lived, fast-growing, woody, large herb to 10 or 12 feet in height. It generally branches only when injured. All parts contain latex. The hollow green or deep purple trunk is straight and cylindrical with prominent leaf scars. Its diameter may be from 2 or 3 inches to over a foot at the base.
Foliage: The leaves emerge directly from the upper part of the stem in a spiral on nearly horizontal petioles 1 to 3-1/2 feet long. The blade, deeply divided into 5 to 9 main segments, varies from 1 to 2 feet in width, and has prominent yellowish ribs and veins. The life of a leaf is 4 to 6 months.
Flowers: The five-petalled flowers are fleshy, waxy and slightly fragrant. Some plants bear only short-stalked female flowers, or bisexual (perfect) flowers also on short stalks, while others may bear only male flowers, clustered on panicles 5 or 6 feet long. Some plants may have both male and female flowers. Others at certain seasons produce short-stalked male flowers, at other times perfect flowers. This change of sex may occur temporarily during high temperatures in midsummer. Male or bisexual plants may change completely to female plants after being beheaded. Certain varieties have a propensity for producing certain types of flowers. For example, the Solo variety has flowers of both sexes 66% of the time, so two out of three plants will produce fruit, even if planted singly. How pollination takes place in papayas is not known with certainty. Wind is probably the main agent, as the pollen is light and abundant, but thrips and moths may assist. Hand pollination is sometimes necessary to get a proper fruit set.
Fruit: There are two types of papayas, Hawaiian and Mexican. The Hawaiian varieties are the papayas commonly found in supermarkets. These pear-shaped fruit generally weigh about 1 pound and have yellow skin when ripe. The flesh is bright orange or pinkish, depending on variety, with small black seeds clustered in the center. Hawaiian papayas are easier to harvest because the plants seldom grow taller than 8 feet. Mexican papayas are much larger the the Hawaiian types and may weigh up to 10 pounds and be more than 15 inches long. The flesh may be yellow, orange or pink. The flavor is less intense than that the Hawaiian papaya but still is delicious and extremely enjoyable. They are slightly easier to grow than Hawaiian papayas. A properly ripened papaya is juicy, sweetish and somewhat like a cantaloupe in flavor, although musky in some types. The fruit (and leaves) contain papain which helps digestion and is used to tenderize meat. The edible seeds have a spicy flavor somewhat reminiscent of black pepper.
CULTURE
Location: Papayas like to be warm with both sunshine and reflected heat, so the hottest place against the house where nothing else seems happy is an ideal location. They also like to be as free from wind as possible, although this is not as critical as their need for sun. Papayas can be grown successfully in shade, but the fruit is rarely sweet. They are best planted in mounds or against the foundation of a building where water can be controlled.
Soils: Papayas need a light, well-drained soil. They are easily killed by excess moisture. The soil needs to be moist in hot weather and dry in cold weather. Since this is the opposite of California’s rain pattern, in addition to good drainage, plastic coverings to prevent over-wetting in winter may also be worthwhile. Papayas do not tolerate salty water or soil.
Irrigation: Watering is the most critical aspect in raising papayas. The plants should be kept on to the dry side to avoid root rot, but also need enough water to support their large leaves. In winter the plant prefers to remain as dry as possible. A plant that has been injured by frost is particularly susceptible to root rot.
Fertilization: The fast-growing papaya requires regular applications of nitrogen fertilizers but the exact rates have not been established. Feed monthly and adjust according to the plant’s response. They can take fairly hot organic fertilizing such as chicken manure if used with deep irrigation after warm weather has started. Phosphorus deficiency casuses dark green foliage with a reddish-purple discoloration of leaf veins and stalks.
Pruning: Papayas do not need to be pruned, but some growers pinch the seedlings or cut back established plants to encourage multiple trunks.
Frost Protection: Papayas need warmth and a frost-free environment, but can often withstand light freezes with some kind of overhead protection. This can be provided by building a frame around the plants and covering it with bedding, plastic sheeting, etc. when frost threatens. Electric light bulbs can also be used for added warmth. Potted specimens can be moved to a frost-secure area. Prolonged cold, even if it does not freeze, may adversely affect the plants and the fruit. Mexican papayas are more hardy than Hawaiian varieties.
Propagation: Papayas are normally propagated by seed. To start a plant, extract the seeds from ripe papayas and wash them to remove the gelatinous covering. They are then dried, dusted with a fungicide and planted as soon as possible (the seeds loose their viability rapidly in storage). Plant the seeds in warm (80° F), sterile potting mix. Seeds should be planted in sterile soil as young papaya seedlings have a high mortality rate from damping off. Potting soil can be sterilized by mixing 50-50 with vermiculite and placing in an oven at 200° F for one hour. Under ideal conditions the seeds may germinate in about two weeks, but may take three to five weeks. Gibberellic acid can be used to speed up germination in some seasons. Seedlings usually begin flowering 9 – 12 months after they germinate.
Seedling papayas do not transplant well. Plant them in large containers so the seedlings will have to be transplanted only once, when they go into the ground. Transplant carefully, making sure not to damage the root ball. To prevent damping off, drench the potting mix with a fungicide containing benomyl or captan. Set the plants a little high to allow for settling. A plastic mulch will help keep the soil warm and dry in wet winter areas, but remove it as soon as the weather becomes warm. Plant at least three or four plants to insure yourself of having females or plant hermaphroditic plants.
Papaya plants can also be grown from cuttings, which should be hardened off for a few days and then propped up with the tip touching moist, fertile soil until roots form. Semihardwood cuttings planted during the summer root rapidly and should fruit the following year.
Pests and diseases: Thrips, mites and white flies as well as In red spider and fruit spotting bugs are potential problems in some areas. The plants may also be attacked by mildew, anthracnose, root rot and various virus diseases Fruit flies often ruin the fruit in Florida and Hawaii. Nematodes can attack the roots and are often a factor in the decline of individual plant. Gopher damage can be avoided by planting in wire baskets. Papaya plants should probably be replaced every 4 years or so.
Harvest: Papayas are ready to harvest when most of the skin is yellow-green. After several days of ripening at room temperature, they will be almost fully yellow and slightly soft to the touch. Dark green fruit will not ripen properly off the tree, even though it may turn yellow on the outside. Mature fruit can be stored at 45° F for about 3 weeks. Papayas are often sliced and eaten by themselves or served with a myriad of other foods. They can also be cooked to make chutney or various desserts. Green papayas should not be eaten raw because of the latex they contain, although they are frequently boiled and eaten as a vegetable. In the West Indies, young leaves are cooked and eaten like spinach. In India, seeds are sometimes used as an adulterant in whole black pepper.
