If the manuscript is sent is not in accordance with the standards Jurnal Ilmu Pertanian (Journal of Agricultural Sciences) will be returned to the author for correction. Some corrections / suggestions from reviewers for each manuscript will be sent to the author before it is accepted / approved for printing. The last manuscript has been corrected author must be returned along with the comments of the reviewer. Some revisions are usually required after review and final acceptance is generally dependent on the results of the revision.

The size, number, and the manufacturer of the material should be shown in a common name. Treatment, experimental design, and statistical methods should be described in detail. The method generally known or analysis can be briefly described by quoting the relevant reference.
