Optimal use of tidal swampland by implementing technology innovation “Panca Kelola” to enhance farmer’s income in Central Kalimantan Indonesia

Abstract

Rice production in swampland can increase farmers’ income through intensification activities based on local wisdom. This study aims to determine the household income of farmers by implementing the Innovation Technology “Panca Kelola”. This technology has components namely: water management, land preparation, ameloriation and fertilization, high yielding variety and pest control. The method of data collection is done through a survey with direct interviews to farmers using a questionnaire. The results showed that the implementation of Technology Innovation “Panca Kelola” has economic prospects to be developed on a large scale with R/C> 1 and MBCR> 2. The increased income of cooperator farmers was 60.73% (IDR. 20,363,987,- household−1 year−1) compared to non-cooperative farmers.

Financial feasibility of introduced rice cultivation technology on tidal type B (case of Belanti Siam Village, Pandih Batu District, Pulang Pisau Regency)

“…The use of inbred varieties included Inpara 2, Inpari 3 and Agro Pawon. These results are in line with the results of research by [6] that the application of Panca Kelola cultivation technology in tidal type B, that the yield of the 5.53 ton ha -1 Agro Pawon variety range from 4.5 to 6.47 ton ha -1 in dry season 2019 and 5 .25 ton ha -1 in the range of 5.10 -5.55 ton ha -1 in wet season 2019/2020. [23] stated that farmers like the Inpara 2 rice variety because of plant morphology, resistance to pests and diseases, quality of grain and rice and the taste of rice.…”

“…Local rice production ranges from 2.5 -3.5 ton ha -1 while high yielding rice is 3.17 ton ha -1 [4,5]. The productivity of high yield rice varieties on tidal type B could be increased through the application of appropriate cultivation technology with yield of 5.9 -6.3 ton ha -1 [6,7] and 2.7 -5.3 ton ha -1 on burnt peatlands [8].…”
