Abstract

In irrigated wetland agro-ecosystem, the sowing of rice seeds is carried out directly on the condition of the ground not waterlogged. Direct seed planting system (called ‘Tabela’) is the planting of rice plants without going through the nursery and removal of seedlings. Cultivation of direct rice seed crop categorized into 2 sections, such as: scatter (sonor/brodcast) where the seeds are sown evenly, while the Tabela array with the drum seeder spaced 25 cm between rows. The result shows that technology have the comparative advantage than transplanting method in rice cultivation. Adoption of direct seeded rice influenced significantly by land ownership, cost of planting and maintenance, planting season, researcher or extension worker guidance and location. Based on the result, the Tabela technology is suitable to be developed in the region where there is a shortage of agricultural labor occurs. It reduces labor and cost for planting and maintenance which increase income of the farmers. However, the socialization of direct seeded rice technology is still needed guidance from researcher and extension workers. The characteristics of farmers influence in receiving information from agricultural extension workers, such as through interpersonal communication through agricultural extension visits to individual farmers, group communication through plot demonstrations, and also through mass communication through brochures, posters, leaflets, manuals and electronic media (television, radio, internet).
