Abstract

ABSTRACTSoil tillage aims to create physical soil condition suitable for plant growth. It does that by improving soil water and air association as well as water movement in soil. Mechanical soil tillage requires lots of energy; therefore, good tillage practice needs to carefully consider a proper soil condition in order to get the required result. A technical test to Kubota tractor type M9540 with 95 horsepower was done in this research, as it has never been done before in specific soil condition, topography, and climate of the North Sulawesi. The objectives of this research were to measure aspects of effective field capacity and field efficiency, fuel consumption, to calculate tillage cost and tractor Break Even Point. Soil tillage results were also evaluated by measuring soil bulk density, water infiltration and moisture content before and after tillage. The test was done by cultivating the dry land through performing primary and secondary tillage, each was carried out in three replications. The results show that average effective field capacity for first primary tillage was 1.55 m2/second (0.56 ha/hour), second primary tillage was 1.75 m2/second (0.63 ha/hour), and the secondary tillage was 2.72 m2/second (0.98 ha/hour) with average field efficiency was 77.40%, 80.72%, and 56.17% respectively.Total time to complete the first and second primary tillage was 0.11 hour and 0.10 hour, with diesel fuel consumption of 64.17 liters/ha, and 55.44 liters/ha. The secondary tillage required 0.06 hour and fuel consumption of 28.72 liters/ha.The primary and secondary tillage were found to influence the soil moisture content, bulk density, and rate of water infiltration. Tillage basic cost is calculated as Rp.1.765.683 /ha to result a hire charge of Rp. 1.942.251 /ha, and the tractor break-even point was found to be 552 ha/year.Keywords: Tractor, tillage

Abstract

ABSTRACT Information on agricultural machinery and equipment is required for the development of agricultural technology in Indonesia. Although Indonesia is known as an agricultural country, its agricultural technology is considered less developed compared to many other non-agricultural countries. One reason behind this is the dissemination of information regarding agricultural machinery and equipment still believed asunstructured and fragmented. Advancement in information and communication technology has made easiness for people in accessing information. Android operating system is gaining more and more popularity and its userin Indonesia is growingfast. This research aims to develop an Android based practical learning application on agricultural machinery and equipment. This research was carried out during the month of April 2015 to June 2015 and the resulted application was successfully installed in Android as a 1.8 Mb APK file format. The application was tested on CPU emulator and Andromax smartphone followed by a survey to 16 respondents using questionnaire having 10 questions in it (5 questions for application and 5 other questions for content of application). The respondents, who marked each question with 1=very disagree; 2=disagree; 3=neutral; 4=agree; 5=very agree, consist of 10 university students, 3 university lecturers, 1 representing farmer, 1 consultant in agricultural machinery and equipment, and 1 representingcommon people. Results of the test conclude that this Android application can be implemented as information media to improve awareness of public and university students regarding agricultural machinery and equipment in a quicker and a more efficient way. The application can also help disseminating information regarding agricultural machinery and equipment in a more variety way in order to support the development of agricultural technology in Indonesia.
