Factors Affecting Farmers in the Implementation of Integrated Agricultural Systems in Langkak Village

“…Due to the implementation of integrated agriculture, there is no large influence on the education variable, all farmers can implement an integrated agricultural system without any educational status for each individual farmer. According to Nur Rahmawati (2018), in her research, education is a variable that is not significant for the sustainability of rice farming because it has a P-value of 0.985 which is greater than α = 10 percent, which shows that education is not significant. The Exp (B) value of the education variable is 1.010 with a coefficient value of 0.010, which means that adding one level of education category has a tendency to increase the level of certified seed selection by 1.010 times.…”

Lebih lanjut, adanya keterkaitan antara pengetahuan dan keterampilan dengan tindakan ditunjukkan pada hasil penelitian yang menyebutkan bahwa faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku kewirausahaan petani padi semi organik antara lain tingkat pendidikan, pengalaman petani, dan partisipasi petani dalam pelatihan (Rahmawati et al, 2018). Bertolak belakang dengan hal tersebut, berdasarkan hasil diketahui bahwa pengetahuan, keterampilan dan sikap yang baik mengenai pemupukan khususnya pada kelompok tani kelas pemula dan lanjut tidak diikuti dengan tindakan kelompok tani dalam mengatasi keterbatasan pupuk bersubsidi.…”
