The use of E- learning in English Language Teaching (ELT) has been strongly promoted since the pandemics Covid-19 is widely spread. Many researches have been conducted to find the best digital online learning to be used in the classroom. However, little to no research investigates about the most suitable digital online learning for the students living in the remote area whereas, especially in Indonesia, there were so many remote areas. Thus, this paper assists to describe the best digital platforms to be used in the remote Area. There were 15 ELT students involved as the participants. The chosen students were the students living in remote area. The instruments were a questionnaire. The result showed that Messenger Application, especially WhatsApp is the most preferred by the students living in the remote area, following by LMS represented by google classroom, and the last is video conference, particularly zoom. The finding of this research can become a consideration for the educators, especially teaching in remote area, in selecting the digital platform in online learning.

Masyarakat Kelurahan Lambung Bukik Kecamatan Pauh Kota Padang mayoritas bermata pencaharian bertani tanaman hortikultura, palawija, tanaman hutan (Sungkai dan gaharu) dan beternak sapi dan ayam. Kelompok Tani Sungkai Permai memiliki pohon gaharu yang telah berumur 2-5 tahun yang mana bibitnya diperoleh melalui kegiatan Elok Nagari CSR PT Semen Padang. Saat ini pohon gaharu tersebut sudah dapat berpotensi baik melalui inokulasi pathogen jamur pada pohon gaharu guna membentuk gubal gaharu yang bernilai ekonomi, maupun pemanfaatan daun menjadi minuman kesehatan. Kegiatan ini bertujuan: 1). masyarakat mengetahui cara budidaya tanaman gaharu, dan mengetahui manfaat dari tanaman ini serta tahu cara mengolah bagian dari pohon gaharu seperti gubal dan daun menjadi bahan baku minuman teh, 2). memberikan keterampilan khusus bagi anggota kelompok tani sehingga diharapkan dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu usaha mandiri; 3). memberdayakan masyarakat dalam memanfaatkan lahan kosong melalui pola tanam agroforestri tanaman gaharu dengan tanaman perkebunan, 4). sebagai bentuk kegiatan kemasyarakatan dari Universitas Andalas, khususnya Fakultas Pertanian. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di kelompok Tani Sungkai Permai Kelurahan Lambung Bukik Kota Padang. Kelompok tani Sungkai Permai telah memperoleh pengetahuan tentang budidaya tanaman gaharu serta pemanfaatan teh melalui metode partisipatif dan pelatihan berupa demonstrasi dan demplot melalui penanaman lebih kurang 150 batang bibit gaharu sebagai bahan baku teh melalui pola agroforestri. Kelompok tani Sungkai Permai telah memperoleh pengetahuan pemanfaatan bagian gaharu menjadi teh gaharu sebagai minuman dan obat kesehatan dari daun dan gubal gaharu. Bahan baku daun dan gubal gaharu yang berasal dari pohon gaharu sekitar lahan petani di kelurahan Limau Manis atau daerah lain dapat dikelola oleh kelompok Tani Sungkai Permai dapat menjadi peluang usaha produktif sebagai teh dan obat dalam bentuk minuman kesehatan untuk meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a plant prefetch queue of five seasonal vegetables that are much in demand in Indonesia. Potato needs tend to increase every year in line with population growth and development of the food processing industry are made from raw potatoes. In general, potato production in Indonesia is still relatively low and still do to meet their import requirements. But the government has always sought to boost the national potato production. One of the efforts to improve potato production with the use of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and fungi Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). The use of microorganisms PGPR and Mycorrhizae naturally associated with plant roots and have the ability to improve plant growth. The purpose of this study is to obtain the best interaction between species rhizobacteria and mycorrhiza on the growth of potato plants. This study is a two-factor factorial experiment with three replications in a randomized block design. First factor is type rhizobacteria which are without rhizobacteria, RZ3.L2.1, RZ3.L2.2, RZ3.L2.5. The second factor is the type of mycorrhizal wich are Glamus mycorrhiza, mycorrhizal and mycorrhizal Acaulospora sclerocystis, Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and DNMRT 5%. The results showed that the best treatment for the growth of the potato crop is rhizobakteria RZ3.L2.2 with mycorrhizal glamus.

The purpose of this study was to obtain The best dose of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (FMA) and the best maize varieties for the growth and high yield of plants in coal mining tailings. This research was conducted using a completely randomized factorial design with 2 treatments. The first factor was the dose of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (6 treatments). The second factor was 4 varieties of corn. Data was analyzed statistically using the F-test at the 5% significance level. Significant differences were further tested using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test also at the 5% level. Parameters measured were: percentage of roots infected with the Arbuscular mycorrizal fungi during growth and at the time of harvest, kernel with per plant. A dose 25 grams of FMA was the best dose for growth and yield of Bisi-2 with avarage production 179,8 gram per plant in coal mining tailings.
