EFISIENSI PRODUKSI SISTEM USAHATANI PADI PADA LAHAN SAWAH IRIGASI TEKNIS

Abstract

Product efficiency of lowland rice field farming system research had been conducted
in technical irrigation on July to November 2005 in Uepai, Konawe district, Southeast
Sulawesi province. Purposive sampling was used to choose location based on Agro
Ecological Zone (AEZ). This research aimed to know farmer’s rationality in using production
factor. Multiple regression linear was used to analysis the factors influencing production and
was continued by allocate efficiency test. The result showed that harvest area, pesticide, and
labors have positive effect on production factors. Then, to find maximum benefit, farmer
needed reduce the use of SP-36 fertilizer. Therefore, to reach both optimum production and
advantage need to extend harvest area, addition of pesticide and labor, and to reduce SP-36
fertilizer dosage.
