Abstract
Mixed Crop and Livestock (MCL) farming provides opportunities for smallholder farmers to increase farm efficiency by using crop and livestock waste as the farming input resources. This study examined the correlation between farmer’s adoption level of MCL and their characteristics. Data were collected by multistage random sampling method through questionnaire for 132 smallholder farmers in five districts (Bandongan, Candimulyo, Kaliangkrik, Ngluwar and Salam). The processing of feed from crop waste and fertilizer from livestock waste technologies was the determinant of adoption level. It was divided into 3 categories, i.e. low, medium and high level. Results showed that 68.94% of respondents were in the low level, 21.97% was in the medium level and 9.09% was in the high level. There was a significant relationship between consulting to extension agents, number of training, farmers’ length of group membership, experience on raising livestock, and ruminants’ type raised by farmers toward adoption level on the technology of MCL farming.
