STUDY OF "INDO JARWO TRANSPLANTER 2:1" MACHINE PERFORMANCE ON THE PADDY FIELD PLANTING IN NORTH DISTRICT BENGKULU

Simultaneous paddy planting launched by local governments constraints by limited manpower to plant paddy so
that efforts to increase paddy paddy IP and application of PTT component Legowo 2:1 becomes very slow. One
way to overcome these problems is through the mechanization of agriculture in the form of Jarwo transplanter
machine. This study was conducted to determine the technical and economic performance of paddy planting
machine Indojarwo transplanter 2:1 on irrigated land in the province of Bengkulu. Parameters observed were
machine performance, planting costandman power eficiency. As comparison were the treatment of farmers using
―caplak roda‖ 2: 1. The use of planting machines Indojarwo transplanter 2:1 was able to accelerate the time of planting from 16 HOK to2 HOK and transplanting costs up to 72.02%.
