Comparison of rice farming income planting system moving rice transplanter with manual in Sidoraharjo Village

In Indonesia, especially in South Sulawesi, one of the machines used for planting is rice transplanter planting machine. The effective use of rice seed grower machines will ensure better rice productivity, namely increased production and income. The purpose of this study was to compare rice farming income between rice transplanter planting system with manual moving planting and to analyze whether planting technology moved Rice Transplanter more profitable than manual moving planting. The research was conducted in Sidoraharjo Village, Sukamaju District, North Luwu Regency. The analysis method used is the analysis of farm income and the analysis of Return Cost Ratio (R/C). The results of the analysis on the comparison of rice farming income, especially for farmers who use the rice transplanter system is greater when compared to the manual system. The R/C value of agriculture with Rice Transplanter system is 3.63 while the manual system is 2.82. Both agricultural systems are feasible to implement but farms with Rice Transplanter systems have higher feasibility value than manual systems.
