Feasibility of rice farming jajar legowo planting system in Dramaga, Ciomas, and Tamansari Sub-District, Bogor Regency

Abstract

The area of land that applies the Jajar Legowo planting system is still little, it indicates there were only fewer farmers who applied this technology. Even though the implementation of that system is efficient to increase rice production and farmers' income in the Sub-District Dramaga, Ciomas, and Taman Sari. This study aims are to determine the application of rice farming with the Jajar Legowo planting system and to analyze the feasibility of farming in Dramaga, Ciomas and Tamansari Districts, Bogor Regency. The data obtained were processed quantitatively and qualitatively. Farming feasibility analysis used R/C and B/C ratios. The Jajar Legowo planting system applied by farmers was a 2:1 type, the area of the Jajar Legowo planting area was between 200 m2 – 1,500 m2 with an average yield of 1,214 kg per 1,000 m2. The results of the feasibility analysis of farming obtained an acceptance value of IDR 6,678,571 the total cost is IDR 3,226,190 therefore; farmers get income of IDR 3,452,381 in one growing season within an area of 1,000 m2. Obtaining an R/C value of 2.07 and a B/C value of 1.07, rice farming with the Jajar Legowo system is feasible and able to increase the farmer’s income.
