Abstract

This research aimed to analyze production and income of rice farming with system of seeding direct and seeding indirect with a variety of input usage. This research was conducted with descriptive and comparative methods that described and compared rice farming with system of seeding direct and seeding indirect. The number of samples that were taken amounted 74 household heads. Samples on seeding direct system were taken by census, amounted 34 household heads. Seeding indirect system was determined by 40 household heads (20% of 197 farmers of seeding indirect system), sampling was done by simple random. The result of research showed that rice farming with seeding direct system could save labors when compared with seeding indirect system. The income average of rice farming with seeding direct system were bigger than seeding indirect system. Rice farming with seeding direct system had a prospect to be developed on irrigated rice land with labors that were rare and expensive. However, the application of this system needed to be balanced with the usage of fertilizers, herbicides and reapers, so that labors efficiency could occur.
