The study of entrepreneurship and the adoption of innovations in farming so far shows a one-sided approach using a single equation model. It is not able to explore more in-depth information to improve farm management. This study aims to study (i) the performance of farming, (ii) the role of entrepreneurship and the adoption of innovative tractor use, and (iii) find the relationship between entrepreneurship, adoption of innovation, and the application of cultivation technology to the performance of lowland rice farming. The study was conducted in the village of Mattiro Ade, Patampanua sub-district, Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi province. The survey was done on 50 lowland rice farmers who applied the tractor and combine harvester technology. The study uses a descriptive approach and the method of path analysis (partly least square). The results showed that the technology of tractor and combine harvester could improve farming performance, with an average yield of 6.62 tons of rice per hectare, a profit of 21.9 million rupiahs per hectare, with an R/C ratio of 3.21. Farmers exhibit perceptions of entrepreneurship and technology adoption at moderate levels. Farmers show limitations in access to information, loans or venture capital, and training in the use of tractors. The adoption of innovations by farmers deals with obstacles in terms of tractor operations, tractor prices, and the weak role of farmer groups. Entrepreneurship and technology adoption have a significant role in increasing the performance of lowland rice farming, where technology plays a role as an intervening variable. This research has important implications, namely the provision of extension workers and the empowerment of farmer groups to facilitate technology adoption and increase entrepreneurial entrepreneurship in farm management.JEL Classification: L26, O35, Q12

<p>Smallholding rubber productivity in Indonesia is still relatively low due to low cultivation technology adoption. The characteristics of smallholder plantations, with limited land tenure and capital, require a specific approach compared to large plantations. This article is aimed to inform rubber cultivation innovations to improve smallholder rubber productivity. Land conservation can increase the opportunity for developing rubber in sub-optimal environments such as peatlands, tides and high-elevated areas. Plant breeding activities in Indonesia have resulted IRR superior clones series with high yield potential (more than 1,500 kg/ha/yr), vigorous growth, and resistance to main diseases. Modification of planting space can increase land productivity and alternative income for farmers during immature period. To obtain the high yield, the clonal typology harvesting system supported by latex diagnosis can optimize the potential of clones and prevent tapping panel dryness (TPD). To increase technology adoption at the farm level, the role of extension workers, farmer groups, and support from the government is required.</p><p>Keywords: Rubber, farmers, technology, productivity</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p><strong>PERAN TEKNOLOGI BUDI DAYA DAN POLA TANAM PILIHAN PETANI DALAM MENINGKATKAN PRODUKTIVITAS KARET RAKYAT </strong></p><p>Produktivitas tanaman karet rakyat di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah, terutama disebabkan oleh adopsi teknologi budi daya belum optimal.

Biogas Technology

Environmental degradation and rapid climate change have forced researchers and practitioners to find sustainable practices to save the world. Increasing energy demand is not only consuming scarce natural resources, but also damaging the climate and overall ecosystem. In this regard, biogas technology is beneficial in two ways—by meeting the energy demand and saving natural resources. Pakistan is an agricultural country and has a high potential for producing energy through biogas technology. Therefore, this study aims to find farmers’ intentions of adopting biogas technology in Pakistan by employing the extended norm activation model. Furthermore, the moderating role of social media was explored. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from farmers and results were extracted by using Partial least square structural equation modelling software. The results suggest that awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, environmental concern and perceived consumer effectiveness positively and significantly influence personal norms of the farmers. Consequently, personal norms affect farmers’ intentions of adopting biogas technology in Pakistan. The moderating role of social media was also confirmed by the results. This study considers the notable insights of biogas technology adoption in Pakistan. Finally, the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.
