Abstract Farmers' capacity to manage rice paddy farming is closely related to individuals' behaviour in managing the farm. Farmer capacity building program has been widely and often conducted relevant government innovation lowland rice farm and delivered to farmers. Still, the farmers cannot give a proper response to lowland rice farm management innovation, especially in terms of strengthening farmers' capacity. This study aims to: (1) determine the level of farmer capacity in managing rice paddy farmers and (2) to analyze the factors related to the capacity level of rice paddy farmers. The research was conducted in the northern part of Tangerang Regency (Pantura), the centre for rice production in the Tangerang Regency. The research was conducted from July to November 2020. Data was collected through FGD interviews and observations of 150 farmers. The data analysis used descriptive test and multiple regression. The results showed that the farmer capacity in managing lowland rice farming in Tangerang district was classified as moderate, both in resource utilization, problem identification, farming planning, and adaptability. The main factor determining the level of farmer capacity in managing rice paddy farmers is formal education and nonformal education.

Most of the population of Asia depends on consuming rice to support their lives. This implies that rice production needs attention. The existence of inefficiencies in lowland rice production could reduce rice yields for consumption, so the measurement of technical efficiency in lowland rice production needed to be studied. This research aimed to analyze the level of technical efficiency in lowland rice cultivation and identify the factors affecting it. The research was done in the Palolo and Torue subdistrict of Indonesia. The number of samples used was 249 lowland rice farmlands, consisting of 106 and 143 farmers of organic and inorganic lowland rice cultivation, respectively. The results show that land, fertilizer, seeds, and labor had a positive and significant effect on lowland rice production. The average technical efficiency of lowland rice cultivation was around 78.2%. The results also show that manager education, extension contacts, superior seeds, and organic lowland rice cultivation have a significant effect on the level of technical efficiency in lowland rice production. We concluded that there is an opportunity for farmers to increase lowland rice yields if they can manage production factors in an efficient manner. The government could provide support for farmers, such as formal and informal education, extension, superior seeds, and ready-to-use organic materials.

This study aims to determine what factors influence land conversion from lowland rice plantations to lime plantations in Watabenua Village, Landono District. The population in this study were all farmers who had converted land in Watabenua Village, Landono District, South Konawe Regency, and as many as 33 people, where all were used as samples by the census method 33 respondents. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study are the factors that affect the conversion of land from lowland rice plantations to lime plantations in Watabenua Village are the cost of citrus production. In contrast, the factors that do not affect land conversion are rice income, the distance between irrigation water sources to rice fields, the price of another product, namely oranges.

Pesticides have been widely adopted in the farming industry to control weeds, pests, and diseases in order to minimize yield losses and maintain the quality of lowland rice products; however, farmers often over-apply pesticides. This study analyzed key factors that affected the decision of lowland rice farmers in adopting pesticides and the frequency of pesticide application. A double-hurdle model was used to estimate the factors that affected the decisions of farmers to adopt pesticides and determine the frequency of pesticide application. These results demonstrate that the adoption of pesticides was high (86%) at lowland rice farms in the study area. Lowland rice farmers were found to apply pesticides an average of eight times. Gender, age, education level, access to extension, farming experience, and access to credit significantly affected the decisions of farmers to adopt pesticides in controlling weeds, pests, and diseases at lowland rice farms. The independent variable also significantly affected the frequency of pesticide application. Towards the goal, government and non-government organizations had to increase human resources through education, agricultural extension services to young farmers had to be improved. Specifically, extension material was provided on environmentally-friendly methods of controlling weeds, pests, and diseases and other alternatives to reduce the use of pesticides at lowland rice farms.

            This study aimed to analyze factors affecting lowland rice production in Uetoli village of Ampana Tete sub-district. This village is one of the centers of rice production in Tojo Una-Una district. Population of this study was lowland rice farmers in Uetoli village within which 34 respondents were selected.  Data collected was analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function analysis. The results of the study indicated that those variables such as land area (X1), number of seeds (X2), urea fertilizer (X3), phonska fertilizer (X4), and labor (X5) were simultaneously affected the rice production with F-counted value was 58.53 larger than the F-table (3.76) at 1% significance level (α) and R2 value was 0.955 indicating that 95.5% of variation in the rice production (Y) can be described by these variables. The coefficient regression was 0.429 for the land area (X1), 0.217 for the number of seeds (X2), 0.169 for the amount of urea fertilizer (X3), 0.163 for phonska fertilizer (X4), and 0.155 for the labor (X5). Keywords : Cobb-Douglas Production Function, Lowland Rice, and Regression.

This study analyzes socio-economic factors based on age, education, farming experience, labor, and land area on lowland rice farmers' decision-making using Tabela (direct seed planting) with and without tools in Ujung Tanah Village, Mare Sub-District of Bone District. South Sulawesi. This research was conducted in January-December 2020. This research was conducted in Ujung Tanah Village, Mare Sub-District, Bone District. The population in this study were all lowland rice farmers in Ujung Tanah Village, as many as 347 farmers. Determination of the number of samples was carried out in 2 ways, namely the census method for Tabela tool farmers by taking the total population of 15 farmers and for Tabela farmers without tools by taking 10% members of 10 farmer groups with 332 population numbers, determining the sample using the cluster proportional random sampling technique. With 33 farmers, the total of the samples in this study were 48 people. The data method is logistic regression analysis. The results of this study are that the socio-economic factors that influence the decisions of lowland rice farmers in the use of direct seed planting technology (Table Toola), namely the farming experience variable and the land area variable have a negative effect. In contrast, the labor variable has a positive impact.
