Abstract

The Proliga Technology Package (Multiple Fold Production) is one of the newest cultivation technology innovations produced by the IAARD. This technology targets productivity to double from existing conditions. The productivity of red chilies in North Sumatra in the last five years has been low, around 3-9 tonnes / ha.The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in increasing the productivity of Proliga technology, which reaches 20 t / ha and it was more profitable than the farmer^s method.Proliga technology production costs were more expensive than farmer technology. This is due to the additional cost of making a healthy nursery as well as an increase in costs for harvesting wages. The total wage cost became Rp 95 million and the total production cost becomes Rp 171,569,250, with B / C values ranging from 0.48 to 2.65. The profit received by farmers on this Proliga technology is IDR 416,180,750 per hectare for 10 months Implications of Proliga technology innovation increase productivity and income of red chili farmers
