Persepsi Petani terhadap Tingkat Kekritisan Risiko Usahatani Bawang Putih dan Strategi Manajemen Risikonya (Studi Kasus di Kabupaten Temanggung)

“…Faktor risiko kenaikan harga input produksi berkaitan dengan peringkat kesebelas risiko produksi yang dianggap kritis oleh petani yaitu kelangkaan pupuk. Kelangkaan pupuk berdampak pada penurunan produksi dan produktivitas bawang putih karena tidak dapat memenuhi prinsip pemupukan 6T yaitu tepat jenis, tepat jumlah, tepat harga, tepat tempat, tepat waktu, dan tepat mutu (Kautsar et al, 2020). Mekanisme alokasi pupuk bersubsidi melalui e-RDKK dan distribusi melalui kartu tani belum memberikan solusi bagi kelangkaan pupuk di tingkat petani.…”

Penanggulangan Kelangkaan Pupuk Kimia Dengan Pembuatan Biosaka Dan POC Di Desa Selomukti Kecamatan Mlandingan Kabupaten Situbondo

“…Terkait dengan masalah kelangkaan pupuk, ada beberapa penelitian sebelumnya seperti Penelitian Kautsar et al, (2020) faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kelangkaan ini melibatkan realisasi pupuk yang lebih rendah dari usulan RDKK, dosis pemakaian yang tidak sesuai, pola distribusi yang tidak sesuai, kemampuan pengelolaan perencanaan pupuk yang rendah, dan ketidaksesuaian harga pembelian pupuk dengan HET yang berlaku. Penelitian Maulia et al, (2023) bahwa kelangkaan pupuk subsidi disebabkan oleh ketidaksesuaian antara permintaan/usulan petani dan realisasi pemerintah.…”

“…Edukasi perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan dampak negatif tersebut. Dosis pupuk yang dianjurkan oleh pihak dinas pertanian setempat disesuaikan dengan kondisi lahan, dan tujuannya adalah efisiensi penggunaan pupuk untuk mencapai produktivitas maksimal dan mencegah kerusakan nutrisi tanaman (Kautsar, et al, 2020).…”
