Pengaruh Interaksi Antara Mekanisasi Pengolahan Lahan Dengan Faktor Produksi Lainnya Terhadap Produktivitas Padi Di Jawa Barat

Abstact:

The objective of the study is to explore the correlation between land preparation methods, i.e. its individual utilazation as well as its joint utilization with other production factors, with rice productivity.  The study as based on the surveyed of 93 farm families in Indramayu Regency, West Java 1995.

The survey was conducted throught a random sampling interview. The Generalized Quadratic Production Function was employed in the analysis. The study show that land preparation mechanization significantly increases rice yield. Tractor utilization gave more significant impact on the yield than water buffalo did. The intensity of tractor utilization is positively correlate with rice productivity. When it is used individually as well as simultaneously used with other production factors. Water buffalo utilized was a positive correlation with rice productivity only if other production factors are also used.
