Judul: Tingkat Persepsi dan Adopsi Petani Padi terhadap Penerapan System of Rice Intensification (SRI) di Desa Simarasok, Sumatera Barat
Abstrak: System of Rice Intensification or SRI is one of the methods in rice cultivation techniques. SRI is a rice cultivation practice that gives more attention to the conditions of better plant growth, especially in the root zone compared to traditional cultivation techniques. The aims of this study are to identify the perception and adoption level of farmers’ adoption in implementing SRI method and to analyze the factors that influence the adoption of SRI method. A questionnaire survey was conducted at Simarasok Village, Baso Sub-district, Agam District, West Sumatera to 35 farmers by purposive sampling. The data were processed by using logistic regression. The results showed that 57.1 percent of respondents had a good perception of the adoption of SRI while the remaining 42.9 percent had a bad perception. Meanwhile, the adoption rate of farmers was 51.4 percent of respondents have implemented the method in accordance with the guidelines of SRI and the remaining 48.6 percent have not yet. Logistic regression analysis showed that there were three variables that significantly affect the rate of SRI adoption which are farming experience, age and level of perception.

Judul: Income Analysis and Factors Affecting Willingnes to Adopt for SRI Organic Method in Rice Farming (Case Study: Bumi Harapan Village, Wita Ponda Subdistrict, Morowali District, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah)
Abstrak: Analisis Pendapatan dan Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Willingnes to Adopt Metode SRI Organik Pada Usahatani Padi (Studi Kasus : Desa Bumi Harapan, Kecamatan Wita Ponda, Kabupaten Morowali, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah). Dibimbing oleh HASTUTI dan DEA AMANDA. Indonesia mencapai swasembada beras nasional tahun 1984 dengan sistem pertanian konvensional, prestasi tersebut tidak berkelanjutan karena dihadapkan berbagai masalah. Menyikapi permasalahan tersebut, inovasi pertanian padi organik dapat diterapkan. Pertanian Organik berbasis kearifan lokal diperkenalkan untuk pengembangan pertanian organik adalah System of Rice Intensification (SRI) Organik. Tujuan penelitian (1) menganalisis persepsi petani terhadap penggunaan metode SRI Organik, (2) menganalisis perbandingan pendapatan padi Organik dan padi konvensional, (3) menganalisis faktor yang memengaruhi kesediaan adopsi metode SRI Organik. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis skala Likert untuk mengetahui persepsi petani, analisis pendapatan untuk mengetahui perbandingan pendapatan, dan analisis regresi logistik untuk mengetahui faktor yang memengaruhi kesediaan adopsi. Hasil persepsi penggunaan metode SRI Organik pada petani yang mengadopsi metode SRI Organik yang tertinggi yaitu produksi padi SRI Organik yang lebih tinggi dan sehat, persepsi terendah teknis budidaya SRI organik yang rumit. Persepsi terhadap penggunaan metode SRI Organik pada petani yang belum mengadopsi metode SRI Organik tertinggi yaitu SRI Organik menggunakan pupuk dan pestisida ramah lingkungan, persepsi terendah yaitu ketersediaan tenaga kerja pertanian produktif dan terampil terbatas. Analisis pendapatan menunjukan R/C ratio lebih dari satu artinya usahatani menguntungkan. Faktor yang signifikan memengaruhi petani mengadopsi padi metode SRI Organik yaitu pengalaman, pernah mendapat pelatihan dan status kepemilikan lahan.

(Case Study: Bumi Harapan Village, Wita Ponda Subdistrict, Morowali District, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah). Supervized by HASTUTI and DEA AMANDA. Indonesia achieving national rice self-sufficiency in 1984 with a conventional farming system, this achievement is not sustainable because it is faced with various problems. In response to these problems, organic rice farming innovations can be applied. Organic agriculture based on local wisdom introduced for the development of organic agriculture is the Organic System of Rice Intensification (SRI). The objectives of the study (1) were to analyze farmers' perceptions of the use of the Organic SRI method, (2) to analyze the income comparison between Organic and conventional rice, (3) to analyze the factors that influenced the willingness to adopt the Organic SRI method. This study uses a Likert scale analysis to determine farmer perceptions, income analysis to determine income comparisons, and logistic regression analysis to determine factors that influence adoption willingness. The results of the perception of the use of the Organic SRI method on farmers who adopt the Organic SRI method are the highest, namely the production of organic SRI rice which is higher and healthier, the lowest perception of complicated organic SRI cultivation techniques. The highest perception of the use of the Organic SRI method in farmers who have not adopted the Organic SRI method is Organic SRI using environmentally friendly fertilizers and pesticides, the lowest perception is that the availability of productive and skilled agricultural labor is limited. Income analysis shows that the R/C ratio is more than one, meaning that
