Optimal use of tidal swampland by implementing technology innovation “Panca Kelola” to enhance farmer’s income in Central Kalimantan Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract Rice production in swampland can increase farmers’ income through intensification activities based on local wisdom. This study aims to determine the household income of farmers by implementing the Innovation Technology “Panca Kelola”. This technology has components namely: water management, land preparation, ameloriation and fertilization, high yielding variety and pest control. The method of data collection is done through a survey with direct interviews to farmers using a questionnaire. The results showed that the implementation of Technology Innovation “Panca Kelola” has economic prospects to be developed on a large scale with R/C> 1 and MBCR> 2. The increased income of cooperator farmers was 60.73% (IDR. 20,363,987,- household−1 year−1) compared to non-cooperative farmers.
