Abstract

<em><span>Domestic rice needs will continue to increase, it is estimated that national rice needs in 2035 will reach 36 million tons. Meanwhile, national rice production capacity is experiencing slow growth or tends to be stagnant. So that it needs an increase in productivity or technical efficiency through the Integrated Crop Management</span><span lang="IN"> (ICM)</span><span> model approach. This study aims to analyze the level of rice ICM technology implementationand the factors that influence the level of rice ICM technology implementation and its effect on the technical efficiency of rice farming in Bogor Regency. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling method, a sample of 60 farmers in the District of Cariu, Pamijahan, and Leuwisadeng </span><span lang="IN">of </span><span>Bogor Regency were analyzed using the scoring method, multiple linear regression models, and the stochastic frontier analyze method. The results showed the level of rice ICM technology implementation in Bogor Regency was classified as moderate (71</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>54 percent), while the technology component with the highest level of application was jajar legowo spacing of 2:1 (98</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>50 percent) and the lowest was the use of manure (27 percent). Factors that influence the level of rice ICM technology implementation at α level of 5 percent are non-farm income with an estimated value of 3</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>318, intensity of SLPTT and non SLPTT training with an estimated value of 2</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>236, and dummy farmer's employment status with an estimated value of 2</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>127. While the experience factor of farming with an estimated value of 0</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>110 and the duration of formal education of farmers with an estimated value of 0</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>403 has an effect on the level of α of 10 percent. </span><span lang="IN">T</span><span>he level of rice ICM technology implementation with an estimated value of -0</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>0855 and farmer access to obtain credit with an estimated value of -0</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>0348 has an effect on the technical efficiency of rice farming at α level of 1 percent, while the land ownership status with an estimated value is -0</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>2527 at α level of 10 percent. The average level of technical efficiency of rice farming in Bogor Regency is not optimal (67</span><span lang="IN">,</span><span>4 percent), this is due to, among others, the application of technological components that are still relatively low or not as recommended by </span><span lang="IN">ICM</span><span>. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase motivation and farmer participation in implementing </span><span lang="IN">ICM</span><span> technology optimally and sustainably to help meet national rice needs.</span></em>
