Abstract

Extension is a form of effort to educate and improve the lives of Indonesian citizens. In particular, the performance of agricultural extension agents is a measurement of the success of agricultural extension activities. This is certainly inseparable from the quality of human resources that available in supporting the implementation of agricultural extension activities. Rantau Kasai Village is one of the villages located in North Tambusai Subdistrict, Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau Province, which based on data from the Agricultural Extension Agency has seven farmer groups and the majority of the population are farmers. Agricultural extension in Rantau Kasai Village has been carried out, but the level of farmers’ satisfaction with the performance of extension agents needs to be deeply investigated. This research was conducted using the survey method. Sampling using the Slovin technique obtained a sample size of 84 respondents from 174 farmers. The results showed that the level of conformity shows the highest level (100%), namely at the attribute of extension agents’ understanding to the specific needs of farmers and their groups. The results of Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) reveal that quadrant III (Low Priority) is the dominant quadrant containing 12 attributes of agricultural extension agents’ performance. The result of the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) analysis shows a value of 81.19% or 0.8119, which is classified into the “very satisfied” category, meaning the farmers are very satisfied with the performance of agricultural extension agents.

Abstract

Pakcoy is a leaf vegetable of high economic value and rich in nutritional content so it is greatly demanded by the public. This study aims to analyze the effect of using several types of planting media on the growth and yield of pakcoy plants with a hydroponic system; analyze the type of planting media that mostly affect the growth and yield of pakcoy plants; and analyze the feasibility of pakcoy cultivation with a hydroponic system using several types of planting media. This research was conducted from February to March 2021 in Kandang Lamo, Sarilamak, Harau Subdistrict, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. Data were analyzed using a complete randomized design (CRD). There were three treatments using several types of planting media with three replications simultaneously covering a total of 81 plant samples. Data were analyzed with ANOVA, then continued with DMRT 15%. Financial economic analysis was measured by calculating revenue value, R/C ratio, BEP, and profitability ratio. The results reveal that the treatment of several types of planting media has not significantly affected the number of leaves and leaf’s width, plant’s height and plant’s fresh weight. The highest average value is resulted by the brick fragments planting medium treatment. It is proven from the average results on the leaf’s width (11.04 cm) and the number of leaves (17.03) at the age of 4 weeks after planting. The highest production yield value (131.24 gr) is resulted by the rockwool planting medium treatment. The results of the financial economic analysis show that the pakcoy cultivation business with a hydroponic system using various types of planting media is feasible to be continued. It is proven from the variable analysis of the business profit and loss statement on the parameter of R/C ratio and the profitability ratio.
