A Meta-Analysis of the Use of Genetically Modified Cotton and Its Conventional in Agronomy Aspect and Economic Merits

Rising the area of growing Genetically Modified (GM) cotton mostly derived from the yield gain and income gain both GM cotton and conventional cotton is affected by seed cost, pesticide cost, management and labor cost. Therefore, planting GM cotton should be considering both agronomy aspect in yield gain and economic dimension in income gain. Those aspects are not only for GM cotton but also for conventional cotton. This paper is a meta-analysis as a synthesis of current research by searching literature both peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed. A meta-analysis depicted that individual study mostly favor GM cotton in yield gain, seed cost and pesticide cost. However, in terms of pesticide cost a meta-analysis prone to favor non GM cotton. Moreover, a meta-analysis revealed that the positive impact in the differences of GM cotton and conventional cotton as the evidence of the publication is highly significant.

Study of Farmers Adopting Technological Innovation on Cocoa Farming System%253A The evidence in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia

Cocoa beans have been existed in Indonesia particularly for smallholder farmers as the cash crop of household in the rural area. Todays its productivity is going down due to the aging cocoa three, pest and diseases. Introducing technology into the farmers group as the alternative way for income diversification based on the cocoa commodity. This study was conducted in East Kolaka District of Southeast Sulawesi Province. Purposive sampling technique was used to select four sub districts of Aere, Ladongi, Lambandia and Tinondo. In each sub district, we chose two sample villages by purposive sampling based on the number of cocoa growers per village and selected 15 farmers respectively based on the random technique due to the homogeneity of the population. In total, we selected eight villages as our sample villages with a total sample size of 120 households. Five components of technology has been introduced, viz. Introducing utilization of cocoa shell for bio-char, utilization of cow dung as organic fertilizer, making cocoa powder for instant beverage, utilization of cocoa shell as the alternative feed cow, and utilization of cow dung as Bio-Gas. This study results show that most farmers have a good and positive response by following or implementing recommended technology. The results of open interviews with farmers at the study site show that the technology introduced is technically feasible based on indicators of easiness of technology application (uncomplicated), easily access to technology, available of supporting materials and inexpensive, easily labor used, and easily in supporting facilities and infrastructure. A good response of farmers indicated that introduced technology has been implemented and adopted by farmers. Moreover, these technology have been implemented which economically feasible, technically easy, culturally done by farmers and environmental friendly

Corporate farming model for sustainable supply chain crude palm oil of independent smallholder farmers
