Abstract

Agricultural research and development agencies have produced several new improved rice varieties (NIRVs) over the past few years with various advantages to dealing with climate change and increasing rice production. However, until now, the adoption of NIRVs is still relatively low. This paper aims to determine the performance and problems of adopting NIRVs and recommend strategies for accelerating the adoption of NIRVs by increasing seed availability through the role of Seed Mandiri Village. This paper is the result of a review of several research results and relevant literature. Of the many NIRVs that have been released, until now, their distribution is still very limited. Most farmers still use improved rice varieties that have been released for a long time, such as Ciherang, Mekongga, and IR64. The low level of availability of NIRV seeds on a commercial scale is one of the inhibiting factors for the adoption and spread of NIRVs. Optimizing the role of the Seed Self-Reliant Village can increase the availability of NIRV seeds. Seed Self-Reliant Village in various regions can be encouraged to carry out sustainable breeding of NIRV seeds, especially for location-specific NIRV seeds. Thus, it is expected that these efforts will increase the adoption of NIRVs so that they can further have implications for increasing rice production and meeting national food needs.

Abstract

Productivity of shallots is influenced by the use of production inputs, including the use of pesticides. This study aims to see a portrait of the behavior and use of pesticides in onion cultivation in Cirebon Regency. The location was purposely selected with consideration as the shallot producing center. The survey was conducted in the first week of September 2020. The primary data collection was carried out by direct interviews with respondents using a questionnaire. The selection of respondents employed a random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis. From the results of the analysis, it can be seen that: (i) 25% of farming costs are used to buy pesticides, (ii) 64% of farmers buy pesticides for controlling pests and diseases attack, (iii) 36% of farmers read labels on pesticide packages and 45 % of farmers read the pesticide spraying manual. (iv) 68% of farmers use pesticides exceeding the recommended dose and 77% of farmers mix 2 to 3 brands in dealing with pests and diseases. In order to maintain the health of farmers, not to damage the environment, and to buy pesticides as needed, it is suggested that the Integrated Pest Control Field School Program needs to be re-implemented.
