Analisis Komparatif Produksi Usahatani Padi Sawah Lahan Irigasi dan Lahan Tadah Hujan Di Kecamatan Simeulu Cut Kabupaten Simeulue

Abstract

There are two types of land cultivated by rice farmers in Simeulu District, namely rainfed and irrigated land. The two types of land will cause differences in management. The difference in management will have an impact on production, and ultimately will have an impact on farmers' income. The purpose of this study was to analyze the extent to which irrigated land and rainfed land gave the results of the production of paddy rice in Sibuluh Village, Simeulue Cut District, Simeulu Regency. The location of this research was conducted in Sibuluh Village, Simeulue Cut District, Simeulue Regency. Determination of the location of the study was done intentionally (purposive sampling), with the consideration that the village has irrigated rice fields and rainfed rice fields. The method used in this study is the survey method. The results showed that the average production of lowland rice farmers using irrigated land was 2,855 Kg / Ha / MT. With the income of rice paddy farmers Rp. 9,022,009 Ha / MT. While the average farmer of wetland rice fields is 2,410 Kg / Ha / MT. With the income of paddy rice farmers in the amount of Rp.6,780,653 Ha / MT. The results of different tests showed that production and income differed very significantly between rice paddies farming irrigated with rainfed land. Increased income on wetland rice farming can only be done by increasing productivity through intensification management. Specifications can be carried out if the support of facilities and infrastructure can be fulfilled.
