Lahan rawa pasang surut ke depan memegang peranan penting dalam peningkatan produksi padi untuk mendukung swasembada pangan. Percepatan swasembada pangan dapat dilakukan melalui demontrasi plot teknologi budidaya padi. Untuk mendapatkan paket teknologi pengelolaan terpadu yang adaptif mendukung pengembangan padi di lahan rawa pasang surut, dilakukan  kegiatan diseminasi pada lahan petani Desa Matang Danau, Kecamatan Paloh, Kabupaten Sambas, Provinsi Kalimantan Barat. Kegiatan dilakukan pada musim kemarau (MK) 2018, musim hujan (MH) 2018/2019 dan MK 2019 masing-masing seluas 50 ha yang terdiri dari 5 ha paket teknologi introduksi (P1) dan 45 ha paket teknologi petani (P2). Teknologi yang diterapkan terdiri: penggunaan varietas unggul, penyiapan lahan, pengelolaan air, sistem tanam jarwo 2:1, dan pengelolaan hara. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui catatan kegiatan harian dan survei. Hasil kegiatan diseminasi  menunjukkan bahwa hasil padi unggul pada MK 2018 berkisar antara 2,44 - 5,39 ton/ha GKG, musim hujan 2018/2019 berkisar 7,3 - 8,4 ton/ha  GKG dan MK 2018 2,4 -4,4 ton/ha. Secara ekonomi dari  perbaikan teknologi budidaya padi varietas unggul  sebanyak 8 varietas pada MK 2018, 5 varietas pada MH 2018/2019  dan 6 varietas pada MK 2019 mempunyai prospek baik untuk dikembangkan pada skala luas. Persepsi petani terhadap budidaya padi unggul introduksi pada skala peringkat setuju.

Introducing high yield varieties to farmers by demonstration plots is one of efforts to accelerate the adoption of these varieties. The objective of study was to determine the preferences of farmers on the characteristics of rice high yield varieties on medium freshwater swampland. The study was carried out on farmer's land at Hamayung village, Daha Utara subdistrict, Hulu Sungai Selatan regency in 2017. There were 20 selected farmers as samples by simple random sampling. Collected data were farmer characteristics and rice morphology that obtained by interviews with farmers using questionnaires and farmer observations on plant growth of 10 rice high yield varieties in the field before harvesting.  The obtained data were tabulated, grouped and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that (1) the most preferred performance of plants was plant age, panicle length, plant type, grain shape and plant height and (2) Mekongga, Inpari 30, Inpara 6, Inpari 9, Inpari 17, Ciherang and Inpara 8 were the preferred variety (from the most preferred order) varieties based on their agromorphology.

Rice production in swampland can increase farmers’ income through intensification activities based on local wisdom. This study aims to determine the household income of farmers by implementing the Innovation Technology “Panca Kelola”. This technology has components namely: water management, land preparation, ameloriation and fertilization, high yielding variety and pest control. The method of data collection is done through a survey with direct interviews to farmers using a questionnaire. The results showed that the implementation of Technology Innovation “Panca Kelola” has economic prospects to be developed on a large scale with R/C> 1 and MBCR> 2. The increased income of cooperator farmers was 60.73% (IDR. 20,363,987,- household−1 year−1) compared to non-cooperative farmers.

To understand the potential for increasing rice production on burnt peatlands, a demo farm (demonstration of grouped farming and fishing) which is a collaboration between Balittra and BRG which covers an area of 38 ha in Talio Hulu Village, Pandih Batu District, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan in 2020-2021. This study aims to discover the farmers' perceptions of the technology components and performance of rice cultivation technology. The activities have been carried out on farmers' land by applying “Five Management” technology include (1) water management techniques; (2) land preparation, (3) amelioration and fertilization (4) utilization of new high yielding varieties with high yield potential, and (5) integrated pest and disease control. Data were collected from 24 cooperating farmers by survey method. Primary data were collected by conducting direct interviews with farmers using a structured questionnaire. The data collected was tabulated and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that burned peatlands have the potential to increase rice production. The results showed that burned peatlands have the potential to increase rice production.. The response of farmers to the components of rice cultivation technology is positive. The five technology components that have the highest value with a value of 95.83% are (1) water regulation in paddy fields, (2) the utilization of ash and urea fertilizer in the nursery, (3) the utilization of manure and lime as ameliorant, (4) the utilization of urea fertilizer, SP-36, and NPK, and (5) the utilization of natural phosphate. The farmer's perception of the Five Management technology is positive.  Economically, rice farming of the Inpara 2 variety is efficient (R/C = 1.14).
