Abstract

Yogyakarta Special Region did not include the production center of shallots in Indonesia, but farmers in Selopamioro Village, Imogiri District, Bantul Regency have used biological pesticide input. This study determines the costs, benefits, and feasibility of environmentally friendly and conventional shallot farming in Selopamioro Village, Bantul Regency. The research location is in Nawungan Hamlet as a shallot center that uses biological pesticide input. Respondents, each as many as 35 farmers taken by census on environmentally friendly shallot farmers, and simple random from conventional shallot farmers. Descriptive analysis was used to determine the cost, benefits, and feasibility of farming. The results showed that the production per hectare was 13.8% lower in environmentally friendly shallots, namely 7,876 tons/ha. The environmentally friendly shallot farming costs are 30.54% lower than the conventional shallot farming costs, but the profits obtained are 12.39 % higher. Both farms are feasible, but land, capital, labor, and R/C values are higher in environmentally friendly shallot farming.
