The agricultural sustainability in rainfed land through the application of largo super technology packages

Abstract

This research of largo super technology packages aimed to observe the effect of the complete and incomplete technology packages in rainfed land. This research was conducted in Desa Baru, Batang Kuis District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatera from July to October 2019. The tested treatments were packages of A, B, C, D and farmer method (as comparison). The treatments were arranged according to a randomized block design with three replications on a 4x5 m2 plot. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the tested Largo Super technology packages have different effects. The more complete the components of the technology package provided, the higher the yields and the level of profit obtained. On the other hand, the less technology components provided, the lower the yields and the level of profit provided. On average, the application of direct seeding method with Jarwo planting system provided the higher yields and profit level than the farmer method that using the Tegel planting system. The increase in rice yields according to direct seeding method with the Jarwo planting system, because it is followed by an increase in the plant population.
