Abstract

The development of urban agriculture through hydroponic farming systems has emerged as a promising alternative for enhancing food security and improving community welfare amid the increasing scarcity of agricultural land. The success of hydroponic farming management is determined not only by farmers' technical competence in cultivation practices but also by their motivation, which is reflected in their farm management performance. This study aimed to analyze the dynamics of farmers' motivation and describe their performance in managing hydroponic farming systems in Kendari City, Indonesia. A qualitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed. The study involved 17 hydroponic farmers selected purposively based on their experience and active engagement in hydroponic farming. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that farmers' motivation develops dynamically through the interaction of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation was driven by livelihood needs, the desire to increase income, and commitment to business development, whereas extrinsic motivation was influenced by a supportive business environment, accessible markets, and the relatively short hydroponic production cycle. The interaction between these dimensions forms a motivational reinforcement cycle, which strengthens farmers' commitment to sustaining and expanding their farming enterprises. Furthermore, this dynamic motivation is translated into improved performance, as reflected in increased production output, the ability to maintain product quality, and timely farm management, collectively conceptualized as integrated farmer performance capability. The findings suggest that the success of hydroponic farming depends not only on technical cultivation practices but also on strengthening farmers' motivation and their adaptive capacity to respond to changes in the agribusiness environment.

Abstract

The productivity of paddy farming in Sindang Kasih Village is believed to be suboptimal because the management of production inputs, including seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and labour still tends to rely on farmers' experience and does not fully consider the appropriate type, dosage, timing, and suitability of cultivation practices. It is therefore recommended that more effective and efficient management is implemented to increase production yields. The objective of this study is to analyse the use of production inputs in cultivation activities to improve the productivity of irrigated rice farming in Sindang Kasih Village, Ranomeeto Barat Subdistrict, South Konawe Regency. The present study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The individuals who participated in this study were considered to have direct knowledge of, experience with, and understanding of production input usage practices in irrigated rice cultivation in Sindang Kasih Village. The selection of research informants was conducted through the utilisation of purposive and snowball sampling methodologies. The present study comprised a total of 17 informants. The data collection techniques employed in this study encompassed observational studies, in-depth interviews, documentation, and a comprehensive literature review. The research concentrated on the utilisation of production inputs, including seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and labour, in paddy rice cultivation activities. The data obtained were analysed using qualitative descriptive analysis, comprising three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the use of production inputs in irrigated rice cultivation in Sindang Kasih Village includes seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and labour, the utilisation of which is influenced by technical and economic factors, the availability of production facilities, and farmers' experience. The use of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides tends to be adjusted to field conditions, ease of access, and farmer preferences, while labor is utilized flexibly through a combination of family and non-family labor according to cultivation needs. However, the management of production inputs is still based more on experience than on technical cultivation recommendations, leading to variations in practices among farmers and failing to fully support the efficient use of inputs and the optimization of irrigated rice farm productivity.
