Diseminasi Teknologi Asam Humat Pada Budidaya Padi Sawah Di Kecamatan Palimanan Kabupaten Cirebon

Abstract

DISEMINASI TEKNOLOGI ASAM HUMAT PADA BUDIDAYA PADI SAWAH DI KECAMATAN PALIMANAN KABUPATEN CIREBON
 Strategic steps to increase rice production in the government continue to be increased to meet domestic needs through the dissemination of technological innovation. One solution is the introduction of humic acid technology to streamline and improve the soil considering that the Palimanan District has the potential for lowland rice that can be developed. This study aims to analyze the description of technology dissemination and behavior of farmers, analyze the factors that influence the technology dissemination and behavior of farmers in use of humic acid in rice cultivation, and develop strategies to improve the process of technology dissemination to improve the behavior of farmers in the use of humic acid. This research was conducted in the village of Cilukrak, Palimanan sub-district, Cirebon regency, from April to June 2020. The research sample was 48 farmers determined through the Random Sampling Cluster technique. The variables of this study consisted of internal factors, external factors, the dissemination process, and farmer's behavior. Data collection is done through primary and secondary data. Data were processed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques and multiple regression and Kendall's W. The results showed that the process of dissemination of humic acid technology 72.9% included in the high category and the behavior of farmers 70.2% included in the medium category. Factors that significantly affect farmer's behavior are farmer education, land area, and dissemination process. Strategies to increase dissemination of humic acid and farmer's behavior can be done through increasing the intensity of farmer groups' meetings and functions.

Innovation Characteristics in Configuring Farmers’ Digital Literacy on E-Reporting Polygon in Wukirsari Indonesia

“…The high intensity of the meeting will boost the innovation dissemination process. This corresponds with a study by [1] which states that the high intensity of meetings will improve the existing innovation dissemination process. The higher the intensity of the meetings held, the higher the innovation dissemination process that occurs.…”

“…Nonetheless, there are multiple benefits that can be gained from agricultural digitalisation such as a program of e-reporting polygon prompted by the Ministry of Agriculture. Previous study mentioned that when the literacy level of farmers is low, farmers are unable to optimally functionalize technology [1]. Therefore, to survive in the midst of technological onslaught, ones must balance that with the ability to respond to the technology itself.…”

Performance Improvement of Ginger Farmers in Peatland, Kubu Raya District

“…Most of the respondent farmers have a relatively low level of education (elementary school) regarding their understanding of the production function of farming, resulting in a lack of interest for farmers to innovate new things regarding renewable agricultural technology (Apriliya et al, 2020). Respondent farmers have an elementary education level with a percentage of 42.11% and SMP/MTS education with a percentage of 31.58%.…”

Keberlanjutan Penerapan Teknologi Padi Sawah Ramah Lingkungan dalam Aspek Kapasitas Petani dan Sifat Inovasi di Sulawesi Tengah

“…Hal ini sesuai dengan hasil penelitian Rahayu et al, (2019) yang menyatakan bahwa pengelolaan usahatani padi sawah ramah lingkungan di Desa Karya Mukti Kabupaten Donggala Sulawesi Tengah adalah efisien. Hasil penelitian yang mendukung efisiensi pengelolaan usahatani padi sawah ramah lingkungan juga terdapat di daerah lain (Apriliya et al, 2020;Domiah & Januar, 2019;Sularso & Sutanto, 2020). Pada tingkat lapangan petani akan memilih sistem pengelolaan usaha yang sesuai atau menguntungkan bagi petani.…”
