STRATEGI PENINGKATAN PRODUKSI DAN PENDAPATAN PETANI MELALUI TUMPANG SARI JAGUNG DI SELA KELAPA SAWIT

Abstract

The research was carried out in Kempas Village, Kempas District, Indragiri Hilir Regency, in February-June 2023. The study was carried out using a nested design. The main plot is a shade condition, namely shaded and unshaded land. The subplots of the experiment are sweet corn varieties and arjuna varieties of corn.

The the sustainability of the application of corn under the auspices based on the perception of cooperators with take into account relative advantages, suitability, complexity level, triability, and can Observed that the technology is worthy of being continued with the medium-high category. By Overall, the corn development program under plantation land is feasible but necessary Adjusting the applied technology, additional water, wide scope and mentoring technology.
