Abstract
SUPER PATBO technology is adoption from IPAT-BO technology with some enhancements to make it suitable for rainfed areas. It has been adapted in several locations. There are five main components of PATBO SUPER technology, namely: (1) New Superior Varieties of the amphibian group; (2) Water management at the macro and micro levels; (3) The use of in situ organic matter and biological fertilizers; (4) An effective and efficient weed control; and (5) Agricultural machinery application. The results of the several studies show that the PATBO SUPER technology has a good performance in several locations, namely in Ujungjaya District, Sumedang District and Palasah District, Majalengka Regency. Rice productivity in Ujungjaya Subdistrict increased by 33.51%, from 5.64 t/ha with the technology commonly applied by farmers to 7.53 t/ha with SUPER PATBO technology. In Palasah District, Majalengka Regency, it can increase rice productivity by 20%, from 5.70 t/ha to 6.84 t/ha. The application of PATBO SUPER technology is also financially profitable as indicated by a BC Ratio of 1.49 and an MBCR of 14.18. The dissemination of PATBO SUPER technology can be accelerated by establishing a field laboratory in each development target area.
