Water Management through Canal Blocking to Improving Rice Productivity in Langsat Permai Village, Bunga Raya District, Siak Regency, Riau Province

Abstract

The low productivity of paddy in Langsat Permai Village, Bunga Raya District, Siak Regency, one of them is causes the unavailability of sufficient water for crop cultivation, so it is necessary to do water management by making canal blocking to be used on rice plants in the area. This is done to meet the water needs of rice plants during the dry season. Therefore, assistance is provided through water management in Langsat Permai Village, Bunga Raya District, Siak Regency. Mentoring strategies are carried out by discussing directly with farmer groups about the impact of making canal blocking. Through this activity, the availability of water for rice plants during the dry season is fulfilled. Production of 1 Ha of rice before the blocking canal produced 4-5 tons/harvest to 6-7.8 tons/harvest after the canal blocking.

Pengembangan Produksi Pertanian dengan Sistem Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) di Desa Langsat Permai Kecamatan Bunga Raya Kabupaten Siak

“…Beberapa kegiatan yang telah dilakukan yaitu pembangunan canal blocking, pembuatan rumah kompos, dan pengadaan hewan ternak beserta kandang (Hapsoh et al, 2018). Dampak dari kegiatan pembangunan canal blocking tersebut menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan produktivitas pertanian terutama tanaman padi pada tahun 2018 mencapai 7-8 ton/Ha (Dini et al, 2019), produksi cabai pada tahun 2018 mencapai 14-15 ton/Ha , dan pembuatan canal blocking meningkatkan beberapa parameter pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman cabai (Hapsoh et al, 2019). Selain meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman, jumlah lahan sawit yang dikonversi menjadi lahan pertanian padi dan cabai terhitung sampai tahun 2018 sebesar 18 Ha dan ini akan terus terjadi peningkatan.…”

“…Pembangunan canal blocking tersebut sangat berdampak pada meningkatnya hasil produksi tanaman cabai di Desa Langsat Permai pada tahun 2017 mencapai 10-11 ton/Ha, dimana produksi ini meningkat dari 2016 hanya sebesar 8 ton/Ha. Selain tanaman cabai, pembangunan canal blocking di Desa Langsat Permai juga meningkatkan produktivitas padi dari 4-5 ton/Ha menjadi 6-7,8 ton/Ha (Dini, Hapsoh, Wawan, Ranuda, Rahmayuni, 2018).…”

Performance assessment of existing canal-blocking in restoration management of peatland conservation

“…The above shows that the main and biggest challenge to avoid the repetition of peatland fire and smog is to keep the peatland from risk during the dry season [5], [6]. Therefore, accurate and fast action in the prevention and management of disasters, remembering that canal blocking is useful in increasing the water level depth of an area [7] and works to maintain the decline speed of extreme water surface [8] during the dry season and fire-prone.
