Penelitian ini bertujuan: menganalisis perbedaan persepsi petani atas karakteristik inovasi PTT padi sawah antara etnis Lampung, etnis Jawa dan etnis Bali; dan menganalisis faktor yang mempengaruhi persepsi petani atas karakteristik inovasi PTT padi sawah. Metode penelitian adalah survey pada petani peserta SL-PTT padi sawah sebanyak 286 petani. Lokasi penelitian di Kabupaten Lampung Barat mewakili petani etnis Lampung, Lampung Selatan mewakili petani etnis Jawa, dan Lampung Tengah mewakili petani etnis Bali. Analisis data berupa analisis perbedaan varians dan analisis regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi atas karakteristik inovasi oleh petani etnis Lampung, Jawa, Bali berbeda nyata. Petani etnis Bali mempunyai persepsi inovasi paling tinggi sedangkan petani etnis Lampung paling rendah. Persepsi atas karakteristik inovasi keseluruhan etnis petani dipengaruhi secara nyata oleh sikap terhadap perubahan, keberanian untuk berisiko, kompetensi model, status model, dan peran kelompok tani. Untuk mempercepat adopsi bagi petani etnis Lampung perlu pembelajaran inovasi PTT padi sawah yang mudah dipahami sesuai karakteristiknya, melalui pemberdayaan peran kelompok, peran tokoh yang ditiru, dan meningkatkan intensitas penyuluhan.
