<p>Usahatani bawang merah telah menjadi sumber penghidupan utama bagi sebagian petani di Kecamatan Kintamani, Kabupaten Bangli. Namun, biaya usahatani yang dibutuhkan semakin meningkat dan dapat berdampak terhadap penurunan efisiensinya. Pengkajian ini bertujuan menganalisis kelayakan paket teknologi usahatani bawang merah. Pengkajian terdiri atas tiga perlakuan dan 15 ulangan, yakni: p0 = teknologi eksisting (jarak tanam 23 cm x 23 cm + 12,5 – 15 ton pupuk kandang ayam/ha + 330 kg Urea/ha + 300 kg ZA/ha + 360 kg NPK 16:16:16/ha + pestisida kimia); p1 = jarak tanam 20 cm x 15 cm + 5 ton kompos kotoran sapi/ha + 500 kg ZA/ha + 600 kg NPK 16:16:16/ha + feromon exi + pestisida kimia; dan p2 = jarak tanam 23 cm x 23 cm+ 5 ton kompos kotoran sapi/ha + 500 kg ZA/ha + 600 kg NPK 16:16:16/ha + feromon exi + pestisida kimia. Lahan yang digunakan seluas 1,35 ha melibatkan 15 orang petani. Luas setiap perlakuan adalah 300 m2 sehingga luas lahan yang digunakan pada masing-masing petani adalah 900 m2. Penanaman dilakukan pada April 2106. Kelayakan usahatani dianalisis dengan pendekatan R/C rasio. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa paket teknologi p2 memiliki kelayakan lebih baik daripada teknologi eksisting.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>Kelayakan; Feromon exi; Jarak tanam; Kompos sapi</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Shallot farming has become the main source of income for some farmers in Kintamani District, Bangli Regency. However, the facts that shallot production costs tend to be more expensive over the year may have negative impacts to farm efficiency and farmers’ income. This study was aimed to analyze the feasibility of shallot farming technology packages alternative. The study consisted of 15 replications and three treatments, namely: p0 = existing technology (spacing 23cm x 23cm + 12.5 – 15 tons chicken manure/ha + 330 kg Urea/ha + 300 kg ZA/ha + 360 kg NPK 16:16:16/ha + chemical pesticides); p1 = spacing of 20cm x 15cm + 5 tons cow compost/ha + 500 kg ZA/ha + 600 kg NPK 16:16:16/ha + sex pheromone + chemical pesticides; and p2 = spacing of 23 cm x 23 cm + 5 tons cow compost/ha + 500 kg ZA/ha + 600 kg NPK 16:16:16/ha + sex pheromone + chemical pesticides. Land used is 1.35 ha involving 15 farmers. The area of each treatment is 300 m2, so the area of land used in each farmer is 900 m2. Planting was done in April 2106. The feasibility of shallot farming was analyzed by R/C ratio. The result of analysis showed that, technology package on p2 has a better feasibility than existing technology.</p>
Maize is one of staple food sources. The low productivity of maize at farm level tends to change the maize harvest time from old harvest time for food need into the young one for commercial need and feed purposes which is considered more profitable by farmers. This study aimed to determine the income and feasibility of maize farming by applying different harvest times. The study was conducted in 2020 in the dry land of Musi Village, Buleleng Regency, Bali with participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approach involving 30 farmers. Data collected included input and output of maize farming. Data analysis used partial budget analysis to determine income and feasibility of maize farming. The results showed that maize farming at early harvested has 2.1 times higher income than that at optimal maturity harvested. With R/C ratio of 1.74, maize farming at early harvested was more profitable and feasible. If the farming pattern is applied continuously, it will reduce the supply of maize as staple food reserve. Therefore, policies from local government and arrangement from farmers in maize farming are needed so that the interests of fulfilling the needs of staple food as well as increasing farmers’ income can still be achieved.
Most soybean farming in Indonesia is still performed conventionally. Farmers are less interested in cultivating soybeans because the production yields are relatively small. This research aims to determine the factors influencing production, production inefficiency of soybean, and the technical efficiency (TE) and economic efficiency (EE) level of soybean farming. Primary data were collected using a survey method of soybean farmers in paddy field areas in the Tabanan Regency of Bali Province, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the stochastic frontier approach using the Frontier 4.1 analysis tool. Factors that positively affected the increasing soybean production were land area, urea and NPK fertilizers, and soybean seeds. The factor positively affecting soybean production inefficiency was a farming experience. The average TE value was 0.77, implying that soybean farming in the study area was efficient. However, the EE value below 0.70 implied that soybean farming was inefficient. Based on soybean farmers’ farming experience, TE and EE values were getting lower. The low value of EE was suspected of causing farmers’ low interest in cultivating soybean.
One of the natural resources that has the potential to improve the performance of rural farmers is the use of yards. Various efforts have been made by the Ministry of Agriculture, one of which is the Agricultural Innovation Gardens (Tagrinov), which has been a model for government offices. This research was conducted in Bengkel Village, Buleleng Regency, in October-December 2019. The number of respondents was set at 30 farmers implementing the program. The study aim is to identify the level of group adoption of disseminated technological innovations that are profit-oriented farmer groups. The basic research method is descriptive method, using survey technique. The classification of the level of farmer adoption of the technology is divided into 3 categories (high, medium and low) using intervals. The adoption rate analysis for the herd level used the formula N = SA x IA. Followed by analysis of farm income using the following approach: Pd = TR - TC. The results showed the effectiveness of increasing farmers’ knowledge by 64.68% (quite effective), farmers’ attitudes towards the material increased by 3.86 (good category), group adoption rate by 88.11% (high adoption) and as a whole can provide additional income for farmer groups of Rp.752.556,-/month.
Klungkung Regency is one of cayenne pepper centre producers in Bali. Mostly, cayenne pepper farming system in Klungkung Regency is done by applying traditional cultivation therefore cayenne pepper productivity in this regency still low. Agriculture technology dissemination such as the utilization of manure fertilizer is required to introduce to the farmers. The goal of this study was to understand the growth responses of cayenne pepper crop to the dosage of manure fertilizer application and mulch types. The research was conducted in July to December 2020 using Factorial Block Randomized Design with treatments were dosage of fertilizer manure namely 10ton/ha; 20 ton/ha; 30 ton/ha and mulch types namely straw and silver-on-black plastic mulch, replicated for 4 times. Parameters observed were plant height, stem diameter and branches amount during vegetative period and fruit weight, fruit length and fruit diameter during generative period. The results showed that interaction between dosage of manure fertilizer and mulch types significantly affected to overall parameters during vegetative and generative period except fruit diameter. Cayenne pepper growth was lower by application of 30 ton/ha of manure fertilizer compared to 10 ton/ha and 20 ton/ha. The utilization of silver black plastic mulch gives the better growth response than straw mulch.
