Studi Ex-Ante Teknologi Produksi Lipat Ganda Cabai Merah pada Musim Hujan: Studi Kasus di Kabupaten Garut, Jawa Barat (Ex-ante Study of Chili Multiple Production Technology in the Rainy Season: Case Study in Garut District, West Java)

Abstract

<p>Teknologi Produksi Lipat Ganda (Proliga) cabai merah merupakan paket teknologi yang terdiri atas beberapa komponen teknologi yang dirangkai sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan produktivitas cabai merah hingga 20 ton/ha. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan studi awal mengenai sifat inovasi dan potensi adopsi paket teknologi Proliga cabai merah berdasarkan persepsi petani. Sebuah demplot teknologi Proliga cabai merah dilakukan di Kecamatan Banyuresmi, Kabupten Garut, Jawa Barat. Demplot tersebut melibatkan 30 orang petani partisipatif untuk dapat melihat seluruh komponen teknologi dari awal pesemaian hingga panen. Setelah demplot dipanen, petani selanjutnya ditanya mengenai persepsi mereka terhadap paket teknologi yang diperkenalkan berdasarkan dimensi-dimensi karakteristik inovasi, yaitu: keunggulan relatif, kesesuaian, kerumitan, kemudahan untuk diamati, dan kemudahan untuk diuji coba. Selain itu juga ditanyakan mengenai sejauh mana potensi adopsi dari masing-masing komponen teknologi oleh petani. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden memberikan jawaban positif terhadap komponen-komponen teknologi yang diperkenalkan berdasarkan lima dimensi karakteristik inovasi. Meskipun terdapat responden yang memiliki sikap negatif terutama pada dimensi kesesuaian, secara keseluruhan komponen-komponen teknologi yang diperkenalkan memiliki karakteristik inovasi yang tinggi dan sangat tinggi. Mayoritas petani menyatakan sikap yang positif terhadap potensi adopsi paket teknologi Proliga cabai merah.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>Cabai merah; Produksi lipat ganda; Sifat inovasi; Persepsi petani</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Multiple Production Technology (Proliga) of chili is a technology package consisting of several technological components so that it can increase the productivity of chili up to 20 tons/ha. This study aims to conduct an initial survey of the characteristics of innovation and the potential for adoption of the chili’s Proliga technology package. A demonstration plot for chili’s Proliga technology was conducted in Banyuresmi Subdistrict, at Garut District, West Java. The demonstration plot involved 30 participatory farmers in being able to see all technological components from the beginning of the nursery until harvested. After the demonstration plot is completed, farmers will be asked about their perceptions of the technological package introduced based on the dimensions of innovation characteristics, such as relative advantage, suitability, complexity, easiness to observe, and trialability. It was also asked about the extent of the potential adoption of each component of technology by farmers. The results showed that the majority of respondents gave definite answers to the components of technology that were introduced based on the five dimensions of innovation characteristics, although there were still many respondents who had negative attitudes especially in the dimensions of suitability. Overall the technology components introduced have high and very high innovation characteristics. The majority of farmers expressed a positive attitude towards the potential adoption of the chili’s Proliga technology package.</p>

Economic Value and Farmers’ Response of Chili Proliga Technology In Rembang Regency, Central Java

“…This is evident by the scores of each attribute of 2.34 ≥ 3, being in the "Adopting" category (Table 7). The results of this research, however, are not in line with the findings by [33] who mentioned that more than 50% of farmers potentially adopted superior labeled chilli varieties, sterile nursery, barrier planting, and mulching. These four attributes were the technology components that farmers were most interested in.…”

“…This is because the farmers were used to buying ready to plant seeds or planting without treatment. The results of the current study are in line with the findings by [33] who stated that more than 50% of the farmers had a negative perception of the technology components using sterile nursery methods. The sterile nursery method is quite complicated because it takes a longer time and higher costs than ordinary nursery.…”

Chili double fold production technology as promising innovation for increasing farmer income in Gorontalo, Indonesia

“…Proliga is a chili cultivation technology package that is expected to increase productivity up to two times (double) from the current productivity. Chili Proliga technology consists of assembled several technological components so that it is expected to increase the productivity of red chilies up to 20 tons/ha [9]. Chili Proliga technology combines components of cultivation technology such as the use of high yielding chili varieties, application of healthy nurseries, regulation of plant populations and spacing, balanced fertilization, pests and disease control, efficient use of water during the dry season, mechanization, and harvesting technology.…”
