Abstract

Seasonal variability has become a major constraint for rice farming in rainfed and simple-irrigated areas. This study aimed to analyze the effect of seasonal changes on rice farming productivity in Kaloling Village, East Sinjai District, Sinjai Regency. Seasonal change was measured using three indicators: planting time shift, water availability condition, and increasing pest attack, while productivity was measured through land, labor, capital, technology adoption, and planting intensity indicators. The study employed a quantitative descriptive-associative approach. The population consisted of 411 members of 12 farmer groups, and 41 respondents were selected using proportionate sampling. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that planting time shift had a negative and significant effect on rice farming productivity (t = -7.723; p < 0.001), water availability condition had a positive and significant effect and became the dominant factor (t = 8.086; p < 0.001), and increasing pest attack had a negative and significant effect (t = -2.203; p = 0.034). Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affected rice farming productivity (F = 23.444; p < 0.001), with an R-square value of 0.655. These findings indicate that adaptive strategies should prioritize water management, synchronized planting calendars, and integrated pest control to sustain rice productivity under seasonal uncertainty.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of extension intensity, extension materials, extension methods, and extension workers’ competencies on the knowledge levels of rice farmers. The study employed a quantitative approach using descriptive and associative (causal) research methods. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 41 farmers selected using proportionate sampling, and then analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS version 26. The results of the study indicate that, individually, extension content (Sig. = 0.002) and extension methods (Sig. = 0.000) have a positive and significant effect on farmers’ knowledge levels, whereas extension intensity (Sig. = 0.109) and extension workers’ competence (Sig. = 0.266) do not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, all four variables had a significant effect on farmers’ knowledge levels, with an F-calculated value of 142.947 and a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.941 indicates that 94.1% of the variation in farmers’ knowledge levels can be explained by the research model, while 5.9% is influenced by other factors outside the model. The results of this study indicate that the quality of materials and the application of appropriate extension methods are key factors in improving rice farmers’ knowledge; therefore, these aspects require attention in the implementation of agricultural extension programs.
