Abstract
Rice harvesting is carried out by farmers both conventinal and machinery. The evaluation of energy consumption in this study was conducted to determine the total energy uses during harvesting for three harvesting method (conventional, semi-machinery, and combine harvester). The result show, detail of harvesting energy requirement using combine harvester are 151.64 MJ/ha of engine energy, 1381.53 MJ/ha of fuel energy, and 18,95 MJ/ha of human energy. However, manual harvesting only human energy (104,4 MJ/ha). Harvesting with semi machinery (a sickle and power thresher) consist of engine energy (7.92 MJ/ha), fuel energgy (752.73 MJ/ha), human energy (95.81 MJ/ha). The highest energy requirement for harvesting method of Indonesian farmers is uding combine harvester, meanwhile combine harvester have highest capacity and efficiency.
