Abstract

The Food Estate program in the tidal swampland of Central Kalimantan was implemented to anticipate the food crisis in Indonesia. To obtain information on the financial feasibility of introduced rice cultivation technology on tidal type B, dissemination was carried out in Belanti Siam Village, Pandih Batu District, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, covering an area of 12 hectares in dry season 2021. The introduced rice cultivation technology package which called Panca Kelola consists of: water management, land preparation, amelioration and fertilization, adaptive varieties, and management of plant-disturbing organisms. The results of the dissemination showed that the introduced cultivation technology increased the production of high yield inbred rice by 39.20% (1,044.3 kg/ha) and 48.5% (1,782.6 kg/ha) of high yield hybrid rice compared to farmers^ technology. Economically, rice cultivation technology using hybrid varieties with transplanting systems and inbred varieties with direct seed planting systems were profitable and efficient. Rice cultivation technology using hybrid varieties with transplanting systems can be developed on a wide scale. Farmer^s perception of introduced rice cultivation technology was positive.
