Abstract
<p>This study aims to analyze the impact of an integrated disease management (IDM) on chilli. Chili disease control technologies that include crop barrier with corn and Crotalaria, and compost tea have been introduced to farmers in Magelang and Brebes. A qualitative approach was used to assess and estimate the socio-economic impact of agricultural research. The study was conducted in 2011. The results showed that based on land use chili, the net economic benefits generated was relatively low. There were only a few farmers who have adopted the technology on chili peppers. Furthermore, the survey also illustrates that three years after its introduction in 2007 the technology status at farm level was just at consciousness phase. Learning of this fact, a thorough evaluation of the technology on chili pepper should be done immediately. Research institutions which have developed the technology should encourage bottom-up initiatives and build a shared commitment to complete the implementation of a clear strategic plan. The adoption of the strategic plan should include the integration of research activities with promotional activities for example by revitalizing participatory approaches to awareness of farmers.</p>

Farming of vegetables, including chili, plays an important role in agriculture economy
In line with the description above, this study aims to analyze the impact of integrated disease management (IDM) chilli and analyze the adoption
Most farmers who obtained IDM tecnology were interested in comparing its performance with convensional technology, that is growing chili without crop border
Summary
Farming of vegetables, including chili, plays an important role in agriculture economy. This provide more income and employment than cereal and staple crops sectors (Ali 2006; Johnson et al, 2009; Weinberger and Genova II, 2005; Weinberger and Lumpkin, 2007;) as well as healty foods because of high vitamins and essential micro-nutrients (Latifah et al, 2014). White et al (2007) reported that chili production uses 20% of the vegetable land but only produces 12% of the total vegetable output due to low average yields. Whereas, both cabbage and potato use only 6.3% and 6.8% respectively of the vegetable land and have much higher
