Improving the productivity of upland rice through the implementation of Largo Super technology in dry land of Aceh Province

Abstract

Largo Super is a technology component that was assembled into a technology package for integrated dryland rice cultivation based on jajar legowo 2:1 planting. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in upland rice productivity with the application of Largo Super technology. This research was conducted in 1 Ha dry land at Sarah Panyang Village, Pidie Jaya Regency from September to December 2019. This study used a factorial randomized completely block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The first factor was variety (V), namely V1 = Inpago 8; V2 = Inpago 9 while the second factor is the technology package (T) which consisteds of 2 (two) factors, namely T1 = Farmer technology and T2 = Largo Super Technology. harvest (GKP) / hectare. The results showed that the Inpago 8 (V1) variety had a significant effect on plant height growth, number of tillers, number of productive panicles, number of total grains, number of empty grain and yield of tons/ha. Meanwhile, the number of tillers, panicle length and number of filled grains of Inpago 8 (V1) and Inpago 9 (V2) varieties were not significantly different. The Largo Super technology package gave the highest yield (5.09 tons ha-1) followed by the farmer technology package (3.57 tons ha-1) and there was an increase in productivity of 42.57%.
