Abstract

One of the technological innovations to increase rice productivity is the Jajar Legowo (double row) planting method. The research aimed to examine the rice planting technology jajar legowo, in two ways: manual and transplanter machine, on freshwater swampland. The research was conducted on 6 ha in West Martapura, Banjar Regency and involved 6 cooperator farmers. The superior varieties used were Inpari 30 and Inpari 32. The results showed that the average grain yield was higher with the transplanter (8.10 t/ha), compared to manual planting (6.90 t/ha). The yield of grain planted with transplanter + manure increased grain yield by 1.2 t/ha (increased by 17.4%). Treatment by transplanter gave income of IDR 20,401,500.00, and R/C = 2.70 higher than manual row planting (income IDR 16,959,500, R/C = 2.59). Transplanter also reduce labor costs for planting (IDR 750,000 per hectare), and reduce planting times.
