Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the application of precision farmingĀ  technology in Tidal Land, Tanjung Baru Village, Muara Padang, Banyuasin. The study uses quantitative and qualitative approaches with field observation and survey methods and in-depth interviews. The population of the study was all farmers who manage agricultural land in Tanjung Baru Village. The research sample was taken purposively, namely farmers who have implemented or tried to implement precision farming. The number of samples was 30 farmers. Data collected included the use of precision farming technology, the obstacles faced and its impact on farmer productivity and welfare. In addition, the experience of farmers in implementing precision farming and identifying proposed solutions was also studied. Results of this study are that the majority of farmers in Tanjung Baru Muara Padang Banyuasin village were aged 41-50 years (46.7 percent), with an even level of education between high school, junior high school, and elementary school graduates. The largest land ownership is 3-5 hectares (53.3 percent). As many as 93.3 percent of respondents have implemented precision farming technology, with tractors and combine harvesters as the most commonly used technology. GISĀ  technology is used by 23.3 percent of respondents, drones by 10 percent, and plowing tools and machines and GRPS systems by 3.3 percent of respondents each. The main reasons for using technology are to increase farming productivity, reduce costs, and increase farming efficiency. Respondents want easy access to technology (50 percent), technical assistance (26.7 percent), and subsidy and financial assistance (20 percent). As many as 90 percent of respondents stated that they would continue to use precision farming technology in the future. More than 30 percent of respondents suggested assistance with precision farming tools and education and training, while 20 percent suggested the provision of water pumps. This indicates the need for comprehensive and sustainable support to increase the adoption of precision farming technologies.

Abstract

The use of Precision Agricultural Technology (PAT) is increasingly becoming the main focus in efforts to increase the efficiency of rice production in Indonesia. This research aims to identify the benefits, challenges and environmental impacts of implementing PAT on rice fields owned by PT. Buyung Putra Pangan in Pelabuhan Dalam Village, Pemulutan, Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra. The research method used is a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, through literature reviews from various relevant sources as well as observations and interviews in the field. The research results show that PAT has great potential in increasing the efficiency of rice production through the use of advanced technology such as soil sensors, drones for fertilization, seed dispersal, and eradication of plant pest organisms. The main benefits of PAT include increasing productivity, reducing production costs, and preserving the environment through more efficient use of inputs. However, implementing PAT in rice fields owned by PT. Buyung Putra Pangan still faces challenges, such as high initial investment costs, training requirements for farmers, and limited supporting infrastructure. Apart from that, there are also environmental impacts that need to be considered, such as the risk of soil and water contamination due to excessive use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Therefore, collaborative efforts are needed between the government, research institutions, the private sector and farmers to overcome these challenges and maximize the benefits of PAT in increasing the efficiency of rice production in a sustainable manner.
