Abstract West Java Province is one of the centers of rice production in Indonesia. The use of improved varieties continues to be pursued to support the increase in production. This study aims to analyze the performance and problems of distribution and the use of improved varieties in rice farming. The study was conducted in Majalengka and Cianjur Districts in 2020. The study sample consisted of 60 rice farmers and research-related institutions. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively by calculating the percentage of the distribution area and qualitatively descriptive. The results of the study show that in Cianjur District, from a total distribution area of 154,075 ha (in 2019), the distribution area of Ciherang and Mekongga varieties is 36.46% and 35.88%, respectively. While in Majalengka District, on the contrary, from the total area of 127,957 ha, the distribution of new improved varieties was more dominant, namely for Inpari 32 and Inpari 43 at 67.25% and 7.28%, respectively. Problems faced in the spread of new improved rice varieties include limited availability of seeds, limited demonstration plot activities, and resistance of varieties to pests and diseases. In rice farming activities in the study area, new high-yielding varieties produce relatively higher productivity compared to old improved varieties. In order to increase the spread of new improved varieties of rice, it is necessary to provide adequate seed support, description of the improvedity of improved seeds, demonstration plots, as well as support for government policies and programs for the development of new improved varieties.

Central Sulawesi’s rice productivity in 2019 was lower compared to that in 2018. One of the problems for the low productivity of paddy in Central Sulawesi is the application of low quality of seeds. Ministry of Agriculture through Central Sulawesi AIAT has introduced a numbers of new high yielding varieties (HYV) to increase rice production and productivity. To support the dissemination of new HYV, it is important to study the rice varieties that mostly used by farmers in Central Sulawesi. The objectives of this study are to identify the rice varieties and the preferred characteristics of rice varieties that farmers usually used in Central Sulawesi. This study used primary and secondary data. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables and graphs. The results show that most farmers in Central Sulawesi use Mekongga, Ciherang, and Cisantana varieties, and local varieties such as Peluncur, Dewi, Ntabone and others. Farmers generally prefer varieties which tend to produce higher yields and resistant to pests and diseases. To maintain the availability of the varieties in Central Sulawesi, it is important to train farmers to become breeders.

Food needs will continue to increase due to year by year, Indonesia's population continues to increase, while the amount of food production cannot compensate for the increase in population. To guarantee national food security, the Indonesian government continues to strive to procure sufficient amounts of rice, including the use of high-yielding seeds, balanced and efficient use of fertilizers, control of pests and diseases, etc. These efforts are only focused on achieving targeted rice production but have not paid attention to the level of income obtained by farmers when cultivating rice compared to cultivating other agricultural commodities. The research was aimed to: (1) determine the income level of a rice farmer, especially in Sidrap District, which is a rice barn area in South Sulawesi Province; and (2) to determine the feasibility of rice farming in the area. One indicator of the feasibility of rice farming can be known based on the value of R / C ratio as well as Break Even Point (BEP) production and Break Even Point (BEP) prices. This study found that the level of income obtained by rice farmers in Pitu Riawa Subdistrict, Sidrap District was Rp. 13,624,672 / ha and was feasible to be cultivated with R / C ratio> 4.24; BEP production of 358 kg; BEP price of IDR 1,152 / kg.

Abstract. Permana S, Iskandar J, Parikesit. 2018. Local knowledge on rice variations (landraces) of the Naga Community, West Java, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 1: 1-8. Ethnobotanical studies have indicated that diversity of local varieties of crop plants and associated local knowledge has seriously eroded in many developing countries across cultures, including West Java, Indonesia, due to many factors such as agricultural modernization, development of market economy, government policies and human population increase. This paper gives an account of the local knowledge or the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) about the rice varieties (landraces) of the wet rice fields, management of wet rice farming and also factors influencing local knowledge of rice landraces of the wet rice fields of the Naga community, West Java, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative ethnobotanical methods. The result of study shows that the Naga community has still maintained a rich TEK on local rice landraces. About 15 landraces of wet rice have been recorded which are distinguished by Naga community based on traditional knowledge. They also manage various local rice landraces and wet rice farming activities including seed selection, preparing nursery and land, planting, crop and pest management, harvesting and storage of harvested rice based on the TEK embedded in their culture.

The development of rice irrigated farming is constrained by the conversion of land agricultural to non-agricultural. Therefore, policy to develop upland rice production in dryland and rainfed lowland is increasingly being implemented. Efforts to expand the application of technological innovations as a lever of upland rice production have intensified by introducing new superior varieties of upland rice. This research aims to analyze farmers' attitudes and satisfaction levels with introducing upland rice to attributes based. The location of this research is in Tegalgiri Village, Nogosari District, Boyolali Regency. Primary data were obtained through a survey method of 35 farmers who planted the Rindang 1, Rindang 2, Inpago 10, and Inpago 12 varieties. Farmer attitudes were analyzed using the Fishbein Multi-attribute Model, while farmer satisfaction level was analyzed using the customer satisfaction index (CSI). The results are the attributes "production" and "resistance to pests and diseases" were agronomic performance which was the most essential and primary consideration for farmers in choosing varieties. Farmers have a positive attitude towards the four new superior varieties. The meaning is that farmers want to adopt and plant the new superior varieties of upland rice. Farmers' satisfaction levels are in the "satisfied" to "very satisfied" category of the four new superior varieties. Hopefully, the new superior upland rice varieties that were introduced can be a choice of varieties by farmers.   Keywords: atributtes, farmer’s attitude, satisfaction level, upland rice, superior varieties

One of the efforts to improve rice production and productivity In Provinsi Jambi is by using Senam Dua (Sekali Tanam Dua Kali Panen). Senam Dupa means one-time cultivation with two harvests, a rice-farming approach in tidal land that combines traditional rice cultivation systems (Crop Index 100 local rice varieties) with intensive farming (high-yielding variety) in one overlay to achieve Crop Index 180. Kecamatan Berbak is one of the rice production centers in Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi. Senam Dupa has been introduced in order to increase rice production In Kecamatan Berbak. This is due to the tidal type of rice field in Kecamatan Berbak, and difficult water regulation, so it is not possible to plant two times. The increased rice production and productivity will be followed by increased farmers income. The purpose of this research are to know the income of rice farming that using Senam Dupa system and conventional system, and to see the difference of farmer income. This research uses primary data that obtained from farmer interviews with a questionnaire guide. Then the obtained data is tabulated and processed with SPSS software. The analysis methode used in this research is the difference of two means test methode. The results of this research indicate that Zhitung (5,099) ≥ Ztabel (1,645), so that the hypothesis stating that the income of Senam Dupa is higher than the conventional rice farmers is acceptable. Senam Dupa rice farmers income Rp. 2,050,588,7 /ha/month at 95% degree of confidence significantly higher than the income of conventional rice farmers that is equal to Rp. 1.770.083.06 /Ha/month.Keyword : Senam Dupa, Kecamatan Berbak, Farmer Income.Salah satu upaya peningkatan produksi dan produktivitas padi Di Provinsi Jambi adalah dengan cara Senam Dupa (Sekali Tanam Dua Kali Panen). Teknologi Senam Dupa diistilahkan dengan sekali menanam dua kali panen, yaitu sebuah pendekatan usaha tani padi di lahan pasang surut yang memadukan sistem budidaya padi tradisional (IP 100 varietas padi lokal) dengan pertanian intensif (varietas unggul) dalam satu hamparan sehingga mencapai IP 180. Kecamatan Berbak merupakan salah satu kecamatan sentra produksi padi yang terdapat pada Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi. Guna peningkatan produksi padi Di Kecamatan Berbak  telah diperkenalkan sistem Senam Dupa. Hal ini dikarenakan jenis sawah pada Kecamatan Berbak adalah sawah pasang surut, dan pengaturan tata air tidak mudah, sehingga tidak memungkinkan untuk melakukan penanaman dua kali. Peningkatan produksi dan produktivitas padi akan diikuti dengan peningkatan pendapatan petani. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui besarnya pendapatan usaha tani padi yang menerapkan sistem Senam Dupa dan sistem konvensional, serta melihat perbedaan pendapatan petani yang menerapkan sistem Senam Dupa dan petani yang menerapkan sistem konvensional. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer yang didapatkan dari wawancara petani dengan panduan kuesioner, kemudian data yang diperoleh ditabulasi, dan diolah dengan software SPSS. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode uji beda dua rata-rata. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Zhitung(5,099) ≥ Ztabel (1,645) sehingga hipotesis yang menyatakan bahwa pendapatan petani padi sistem Senam Dupa yang lebih tinggi dari petani padi sistem Konvensional dapat diterima. Pendapatan petani padi sistem Senam Dupa Rp. 2.050.588,7 /Ha/bulan secara signifikan pada derajat kepercayaan 95% lebih tinggi dari pendapatan petani padi sistem Konvensional yaitu sebesar Rp. 1.770.083,06 /Ha/bulan.Kata Kunci : Senam Dupa, Kecamatan Berbak, Pendapatan Petani Padi

The study investigated the adoption of improved rice varieties by farmers in Bende Local Government Area, Abia State, Nigeria. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select a total of 120 rice farmers. Descriptive statistics and tobit regression model were employed to analyze the data. Results showed that cumulatively 73.3% of the farmers fell within the age range of 20-50 years, most (86.7%) of the rice farmers were literate. More than half (57.5%) of the rice farmers are females. Result further indicated that 43.3% had household sizes of 5-8 persons. A fair proportion (33.3%) had been in rice production for 11-15 years, while majority (73.3%) belongs to farmers’ associations. Fairly good (51.6%) were aware of the improved rice varieties and used it, while a substantial number (93.3%) number of the farmers cultivated swamp rice. MAS 240 variety (mean=3.13), Faro 7 variety (mean=2.95), Faro II variety (mean=2.75), Faro 8 variety (mean=2.70.) and Faro 48 variety (mean=2.68) were highly adopted by farmers in the area. The Chi square value of 7.290 was significant at 1.0% probability level and indicates goodness of fit of the model used. Coefficient of age (-0.023), and gender (-1.967) were negative and significant at 10.0% and 1.0% level of probability respectively. The coefficient of education level (0.041), farm size (0.940), farming experience (0.206) and membership of farmers’ association (0.168) were significant at 5.0% and were positively related to adoption of improved rice varieties. Farmers encountered various problems of paucity of funds (35.8%), scarcity of inputs (22.5%), and dearth of information (20.89). Based on these findings it was recommended that rice farmers should form cooperative societies to enable them raise funds for buying agricultural equipment to boost rice production. More young male farmers should be sensitized and motivated by the state government to take up rice production since female farmers dominate rice production in the area. Extension agencies should increase the level of information dissemination and teaching to the rice farmers’ clientele.Key words: Adoption, Improved Varieties, Rice

<p>In the middle of 1980s, rice self-sufficiency in Indonesia has been achieved, but the growth of rice production slowed down since the 1990s. Narrow genetic variability of released rice varieties contributed largely to the occurrence of leveling of potential rice yield over the past decades. To enlarge the genetic variability, an intersubspecies crossing of Koshihikari (japonica) and IR36 (indica) has been performed. Through this crossing, three high yielding and high yield quality promising lines of KI 37, KI 238, and KI 730 have been obtained. The objective of this study was to evaluate the superiorities of these lines through multi-location yield trials, pests, diseases, and grain qualities examinations. Examination methods used followed the release food crops variety procedure issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. The result of examinations showed that the average yield of KI 730 was 7.47 t/ha, it was significantly higher than that of Ciherang (6,73 t/ha). KI 730 has a good grain quality, with translucent milled rice, a high percentage of milled rice (78.0%) and head rice (91.01%). The texture of its cooking rice was soft, sticky, with the amylose content of 20.41%. In addition, pests and diseases resistances of KI 730 were better than those of other lines tested. After evaluation by National Food Crops Release Variety Team, the KI 730 line was released as a national superior variety with the name of Tropiko. Tropiko should become an alternative variety to grow widely in order to increase national rice production and farmers income.</p>
