Apresiasi Petani terhadap Teknologi dan Penyuluhan Pertanian dalam Peningkatan Produksi Padi di Jawa Barat

Abstract

AbstrakPenelitian apresiasi petani terhadap teknologi dan penyuluhan pertanian dalam peningkatan produksi padi telah dilaksanakan pada Bulan Januari sampai Mei 2012 di 10 kabupaten sentra produksi padi di Jawa Barat. Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan metoda survey dengan total responden 120 petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apresiasi petani terhadap teknologi dan penyuluhan dalam meningkatkan produksi padi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) Teknologi yang berperan penting dalam peningkatan produksi padi adalah: (a) teknologi peningkatan kesuburan lahan, (b) teknologi meminimalkan kehilangan hasil panen, dan (c) varietas unggul baru. (2) Teknologi yang diapresiasi tinggi kinerjanya oleh petani adalah; varietas unggul baru, dan peningkatan kesuburan lahan, sedangkan teknologi kehilangan hasil panen diapresiasi kurang, sehingga ketiga teknologi tersebut merupakan faktor yang sangat berperan dalam peningkatan produksi padi. (3) Prequensi kehadiran penyuluh mempunyai peranan penting dalam upaya peningkatan produksi padi, tetapi kinerjanya diapresiasi rendah. Implikasi hasil penelitian ini adalah: (a) Diperlukan kebijakan Pemerintah Daerah melaui Peraturan Daerah untuk meningkatkan kesuburan lahan melalui pemanfaatan jerami, dan kebijakan penambahan jumlah serta fasilitas penyuluh pertanian. (b) Penyediaan varietas unggul baru melalui pengembangan dan pembinaan penangkar benih serta meningkatkan peranan Balai Benih Padi Jawa Barat, dan (c) meminimalkan kehilangan hasil panen melalui penerapan kelembagaan jasa panen dan penerapan Power Tresherr. Kata Kunci: teknologi, penyuluhan pertanian. Abstract Study of farmers appreciation on technology and agricultural extension for increasing rice production has been carried out in January to May 2012 in ten rice producers districts in West Java. Research conducted by survey method with a total of 120 farmer respondents. The objective of the study were to identify and implement agricultural extension technology that can increase rice production. The results of this study showed: (1) The important to increase rice production in West Java includes: (a) soil fertility, technology increased, (b) minimize in lost crops technology, (c) new varieties. (2) The technology was mostly appreciated by farmer was new high yield varieties and soil fertility improvement technology, while minimizely yield lost tehnology otherwise. It was thesefore,both tehnologies is on consider as importantce in increasing rice yield.(3) outreach activities that have an important role in increasing rice

Determinants of Transmigrant Households’ Income in Settlement Unit 3 Pagar Banyu, Ulu Talo District, Seluma Regency

“…This is because almost all transmigrant households allocate their land to farming, so this will have a significant impact on farm yields. Therefore, technology that can increase agricultural production from available land plots will greatly assist farmers in increasing income (Subarna, 2013). Wordofa et al (2021) emphasize the need for multiple and complementary technologies for smallholders.…”

Comparison of Production Levels and Rice Farming Income Using Technology And Corporate Farming (Case Study In Gapoktan Tani Mandiri Dalangan Village, Tawangsari District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java)

“…Meanwhile, according to Mardikanto (1993), technology is a behavior of new products, information and practices that are not widely known, accepted, used or applied to some members of the community in a certain location in order to encourage individual change and / or all members of the community concerned. Technology that has an important role and is needed in efforts to increase rice production is a technology that can mobilize farmers to increase their rice production, while the technology in question is technology to increase land fertility, technology to minimize crop loss, and new superior varieties (Subarna, 2013).…”
