Pengaruh Penggunaan Traktor Terhadap Pendapatan dan Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja pada Usahatani Padi di Kabupaten Sambas

Abstract

Developmentof agriculture mechanization in Sambas Regency is needed in order to support the increased of rice production. Technically, agricultural mechanization is expected to increase the productivity of the land and, economically, it is expected to increase farmers' income. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of tractor usage on income and availability of labor in rice farming. This research was conducted in Sambas Regency, using survey method. The results showed that the use of tractors for soil processing significantly increased the productivity and income of rice farming. The use of tractors on soil treatment has increased productivity by 667 kg/ha. The use of tractors on land treatment also increased revenues by Rp.2.843.400,-/ha, although raising the cost. In-house labor and farming families are available for soil cultivation, but farmers generally prefer to use the tractors for soil treatment.The use of tractors has reduced the use of labor, thus accelerating land preparation and planting activities. Farmers who do not use tractors because of environmental factors farming, namely the unavailability of irrigation.

The Study of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Adoption by Farmer in Improving Lowland Rice Farming

“…Furthermore, the effect of entrepreneurship on technology and the influence of individual farmers on technology shows a significant negative coefficient. These prove that technology can reduce production costs (Amrullah & Hadi, 2016;Suyatno et al, 2018), which in this study are measured by the costs of fertilizers, pesticides, tillage, seeds, and harvesting work. This research reveals that age and education indicators contribute significantly to the individual character of farmers.…”

“…The influence of entrepreneurship variables on innovation adoption and technology have been revealed by many researchers (Boso et al, 2013;Gundry et al, 2014;Wei et al, 2019). Likewise, the effect of technology on farm business performance is related to the efficiency and productivity improvement (Suyatno et al, 2018). Furthermore, the effect of entrepreneurship on technology and the influence of individual farmers on technology shows a significant negative coefficient.…”

“…The use of hand tractor machines in the Banten area, on average, saves work time as much as 7.8 hours a workday, saving costs 400 thousand rupiahs per hectare, and generates a profit of 800 thousand rupiahs per hectare compared to the manual method (Amrullah & Hadi, 2016). A study (Suyatno, Imelda, & Komariyati, 2018) shows that tractor machine in land management can increase productivity by 667 kg per hectare, and increase income by 2,843 million rupiahs per hectare. Bachrein, Ruswandi, & Subarna (2009) revealed that tractor supply services have grown, with farmer participation above 96%, generating a revenue-cost ratio of 1.36 and a payback period of 2.74 per year, and a break-even point of 30.77 ha per year.…”

Keragaan Usaha Pelayanan Jasa Alat Dan Mesin Pertanian (UPJA) dalam Pemanfaatan Alat Mesin Pertanian di Kabupaten Madiun

“…Hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa hampir semua petani merasa bahwa UPJA sangat bermanfaat, sehingga keberadaan UPJA sebagai lembaga ekonomi yang menyediakan penyewaan alsintan sangat dibutuhkan oleh para petani. Penelitian yang pernah dilakukan di Kabupaten Sambas, Kalimantan Barat oleh Suyatno, et al (2018) diketahui bahwa traktor sangat mempengaruhi tingkat produktivitas padi. Pengolahan tanah bukan dengan traktor di Kecamatan Tebas menghasilkan produktivitas padi 2,2 ton/ha.…”

Analisis Komparasi Efisiensi Ekonomi Usahatani Jagung Varietas Pioneer 36 dan NK 212 di Kelompok Tani Maju Desa Karangpasar Kecamatan Tegowanu Kabupaten Grobogan

“…Jumlah tenaga kerja dapat dikurangi dengan memanfaatkan teknologi mesin pertanian berupa traktor dan manual plant seeder sehingga menghemat penggunaan tenaga kerja. Suyatno et al (2018) menambahkan bahwa penggunaan mesin pertanian akan mengurangi penggunaan tenaga kerja sehingga lebih efisien dan meningkatkan hasil produksi pertanian.…”
