The Impact of Cropping Systems on Rice Production in Rice-Based Intensive Agroecosystems

Abstract Agricultural technology is one method used to increase agricultural output. The jajar legowo (jarwo) planting system and a transplanter machine are that believed rice production. This study aimed determine the viability of lowland farming using different cropping systems machines. research was done in Village Kragan, Gondangrejo Sub-district, Karanganyar District, during third season (MT III) 2021. activity conducted on 2,7 hectares fields owned by farmers treated with (1) manual tiles, (2) jarwo, (3) jarwo machine. Early-maturing variety M70 D planted. data were qualitatively quantitatively analyzed. Superior varieties early maturing planted row assistance produced highest GKP productivity 9,390 kg/ha, an 6.7% over treatment 17.37% existing tile/existing system. Jarwo also generated greatest profit, IDR 30.558.285 (RCR = 2.33) or greater (16.32 per cent) than 29.34 cent current At price 4,400/kg HDG yield between 8,000 kg HDG/ha, TIP 4,030,85 4,416.23 TIH 1,888,78 2,316.44. Thus, employing has been demonstrated be very feasible practicable at site. Government extension services must play role socialization significance mechanization plantation so can directly benefit.
