Abstract

Maize is one of the primary plant cultivations on Madura Island and is usually cultivated by farmers with traditional technology and using open-pollinated local varieties. According to this condition, an experiment and a demo plot for local farmers were conducted in Larangan Slampar village Tlanakan District Pamekasan Regency. The experiment was arranged in randomized block design. The treatment was integrated plant management (IPM) using HJ21 and Bima14 hybrid and as control was conventional technology applying local Madura variety. The analyzed data indicated that IPM technology could increase plant yield and farming benefits. The highest harvest yield was shown by IPM1 with Bima 14 variety up to 6.35 ton ha-1, meanwhile existing technology (local Madura variety) only 1.22 ton ha-1 or the productivity was increased up to 422,40 %. The results of the farming analysis showed that benefit with IPM1 reached Rp 15,520,500 and B/C ratio 1,35; while existing technology only Rp 2,168,000 and B/C ratio of 0.55.
