This research aims to determine the performance of new varieties of farm (VUB), lowland rice through an integrated approach to crop management (ICM) in the village of Gle Aneuk Indrapuri, Aceh Besar District. Field assessment is from cooperative farmers who have lowland rice varieties with treatment, such as Cimelati, Bondoyudo, Ciherang, Kalimas, VUTB Fatmawati and IR-64. In each of these rice varieties applied packages introduced PTT technology. The result indicates that reviewed the six varieties suitable for cultivated and developed. Judging from the performance of agronomic VUTB Fatmawati better compared with 5 other varieties. VUTB Fatmawati have the greatest production (7.75 tonnes / ha) with a profit-making Rp.6.074.750, -. Fatmawati lowland rice farming system with ICM pattern is more feasible to be developed because the RC has the largest ratio (2.09) compared with the varieties Cimelati (2,06), Kalimas (2,04), Bondoyudo (2,02), Ciherang (1,51) and varieties of IR-164 (1,39).Key words: farming, rice, varieties, integrated crop management

<p>The integrated crop management approach on rice is aimed to increase the productivity on fields with the constraint of limited land area. This present research was aimed to analyze<br />the impact of the implementation of integrated crop management to grain yield and its efficiency on the lowland farming. The study was conducted in three districts representing the lowland rice production center in Bali, i.e. Tabanan, Buleleng and Gianyar, involving 216 respondents, over two cropping seasons. Sampling of the respondents was using stratified simple random method. Data were analyzed using a stochastic frontier production function with the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method. The results showed that the aggregate of rice production was affected by land area, amount of seeds, N fertilizer, organic fertilizer, pesticides, labor and age of seedling. Rice yield was higher in the dry season applying legowo planting pattern, followed by intermittent irrigations, IPM and planting varieties other than IR64. Technically, both ICMFS alumni farmers and non ICM-FS alumni were considered efficient, with an efficiency rate of more than 70 percent, but only<br />ICM-FS alumni farmers allocated the inputs efficiently, and therefore economically move efficient. Socio economic factors which were significantly affected the aggregate technical<br />inefficiencies were age of farmers, level of education, farming experiences, and the number of land plots. Technical inefficiency of the lowland rice farming was lower when ICM-FS alumni farmers work on their own lands.</p>

The purposes of this study were to determine the level of adoption of integrated crop management ’jajar legowo’ innovation in lowland rice cultivation, related factors, household income of lowland rice farmers after adopting the innovation, and to know the relationship between the adoption rate and the welfare of farmers. This research was conducted in Palas Jaya and Pulau Tengah Villages, Palas District, South Lampung Regency. Respondents were 68 rice farmers taken proportionally and randomly from each of the two villages. Adoption of ‘jajar legowo’ planting system in Palas Jaya and Tengah Tengah Villages of Palas District, South Lampung Regency was high (92.64 percent). Factors related to the adoption were characteristics of innovation, characteristics of farmers, the role of extension workers, and household welfare of wetland rice farmers. Annual household incomes of rice farmers adopting integrated crop management were Rp24,251,188.24 consisting of Rp18,310,012 from on farm, Rp5,058,823.53 from nonfarm and Rp882,352.94 from off-farm activities. There is a significant correlation between the level of adoption of innovation in integrated crop management of paddy rice and household welfare of rice farmers.Key words: adoption, income, welfare

<p>Water and fertilizer scarcity amid the increasing need of rice production challenges today’s agriculture. Integrated crop management (ICM) is a combination of water, crop, and nutrient management that optimizes the synergistic interaction of these components aiming at improving resource use efficiency, i.e. high productivity of water, land, and labor. The objectives of the study were to investigate the effects of crop establishment method, organic matter amendment, NPK management, and water management on yield of lowland rice. Five series of experiments were conducted at Sukamandi and Kuningan Experimental Stations, West Java. The first experiment was focused on crop establishment method, i.e. plant spacing and number of seedlings per hill. The second, third, and fourth experiments were directed to study the effect of NPK and organic matter applications on rice yield. The fifth experiments was designed to evaluate the effect of water management on rice yield. Results showed that 20 cm x 20 cm plant spacing resulted in the highest grain yield for the new plant type rice varieties. Organic matter and P fertilizer application did not significantly affect grain yield, but the yield response to P fertilization tended to be stronger with organic matter amendment. Split P application did not significantly increase grain yield. The use of a scale 4 leaf color chart reading resulted in a considerable N fertilizer saving without compromising rice yield. Intermittent irrigation technique saved water up to 55% without affecting yields, resulting in a 2-3 times higher water productivity.</p>

Gender inequalities in development programs is problem that still going on. One of program from the government that relate to agricultural development policies and apply the principle of gender mainstreaming is Integrated Crop Management Field School Program (SL-PTT) in rural areas. The general purpose of this research is to analyze the level of gender equality in SL-PTT program, and analyze the relationship between the level of gender equality with success rate of SL-PTT program. This research using quantitative data with survey method using simple random sampling technique and analyzed by cross tabulation and Rank Spearman. This research supported by qualitative data with in-depth interviews. The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between the level of gender equality  and success rate of SL-PTT program.Keywords: gender analysis, gender equality, the success rate of the program================================================ABSTRAKProgram pembangunan yang belum memenuhi adanya kesetaraan gender menjadi permasalahan yang sampai saat ini berlangsung. Salah satu program dari pemerintah yang berkaitan dengan kebijakan pembangunan pertanian yang menerapkan prinsip pengarusutamaan gender adalah program Sekolah Lapang Pengelolaan Tanaman terpadu (SL-PTT) di perdesaan. Tujuan umum penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tingkat kesetaraan gender program SL-PTT, dan menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat kesetaraan gender dengan tingkat keberhasilan program SL-PTT. Penelitian ini menggunakan data kuantitatif dengan metode survei dengan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dianalisis menggunakan tabulasi silang dan Rank Spearman didukung dengan data kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif dan signifikan antara tingkat keterlibatan peserta SL-PTT  dengan tingkat keberhasilan program SL-PTT.Kata Kunci :  Analisis gender, kesetaran gender, keberhasilan program
