Agrotourism is a part of the tourist attraction that utilizes agricultural business as a tourist attraction. This study aims to compare financial feasibility studies on several agrotourism in Indonesia. The study about financial feasibility needs to be done as a material consideration in making a business decision. The method used a literature study for secondary data collection from several journals including NPV, IRR and Net B/C Ratio. This study reviews five agrotourism, that relates with cost-benefit analysis, including Kebun Buah Mangunan agrotourism, Kampung Budaya Sidangbarang agrotourism, Bukit Ganjau agrotourism, Bina Darma agrotourism, and Jamu Ramuan Madura agrotourism. The results of this study were obtained at Jamu Ramuan Madura agrotourism that was the most feasible with an NPV value of Rp. 13,979,701,973.49, - IRR of 30.52%, and Net B/C Ratio of 10.22 which indicated this agrotourism was feasible to run. This agrotourism is the most feasible because it has the highest value among the five other agrotourism. Kampung Budaya Sidangbarang agrotourism is the lowest feasibility level because it has an NPV value of Rp. 597,264,637.59, - with a Net B/C value of 1.60 and an IRR of 15.13%. Based on this, it is expected that the results of this study can become a reference for tourism developers to see the potential of agrotourism in areas that have the best financial viability.
Maize is considered as a potential commodity to support food diversification as an alternative staple food due to its nutritional content, especially carbohydrates and protein, which are tend to equal to the rice and its high production level. The citizen of Buleleng consume maize as their daily staple food other than rice. This condition indirectly necessitates abundant maize production in this region which has the largest of harvest area in Bali however it was not as same as with its productivity particularly due to the un-optimum cultivation technical. Research about superior maize varieties has not been widely carried out in Bali, especially in the Buleleng Regency as the largest producer of maize production in Bali. Therefore, this study aims to examine the yield component performance and productivity of two superior maize varieties planted by using the legowo planting system and the habits of farmers in Buleleng Regency. Research was conducted in Gerokgak Village, Gerokgak District, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province from May to August 2019 which was built using Randomized Block Design with 4 treatments using two superior maize varieties namely Nasa-29 and Pulut Uri cultivated by legowo and farmer's habits planting system repeated 4 times. Results showed that the Nasa-29 variety has cobs with the characteristics of cob length, number of rows per cob, number of seeds per cob and weight of 1000 seeds are higher than the Pulut Uri variety, both planted by legowo and farmers' habits planting system. Differences in spacing/planting systems give the same effect on cob weight, number of rows per cob, seed weight per cob and productivity of Pulut Uri variety, but significantly affect to cob length, number of seeds per row and cob diameter. Meanwhile, the different planting systems in the Nasa-29 variety had a significant effect to almost all observed cob characteristics except for the number of rows per cob. The highest maize productivity was produced by the Nasa-29 variety. Differences in cropping systems and varieties have significantly effect to maize productivity. The Nasa-29 variety showed a more tolerant response to the cob borer pest and cob rot disease. Planting with legowo tends to reduce the intensity of pest and disease attacks compared to farmers' methods.
The technology of jajar legowo 2:1 is a technology issued by the Research and Development Agency a few years ago but dissemination of this technology is very difficult in subaks throughout the province of Bali. The Penginyahan subak is a subak that has implemented the 2:1 row legowo technology since 2011 where the area is 57 hectares with around 90 members, all of which have been applied in each planting season. This study aims to determine the relationship between the motivation of farmers and the dynamics of subak and to determine the behavior of farmers with the dynamics of subak in the success of the technology of jajar legowo 2:1. The motivation of farmers to be studied includes social motivation, economic motivation, ecological motivation and physiological motivation. Farmer behavior includes knowledge, attitudes, skills and actions. Subak dynamics refers to 8 indicators of group dynamics. The research was conducted in December 2020 – May 2021 in Subak Penginyahan, Puhu Village, Payangan District, Gianyar Regency with a survey method. The number of respondents is 50 people. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (SEM PLS). The results showed from the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) that 1) the motivation of farmers has a significant relationship with the dynamics of subak, 2). The behavior of farmers has a significant relationship with the dynamics of subak in the success of the technology of jajar legowo 2:1.
