Peran Penyuluh Pertanian Dalam Peningkatan Produksi Dan Produktivitas Padi Sawah Di Desa Sidera Kecamatan Sigi Kota Kabupaten Sigi
Abstract
The role of agricultural extension workers is a key factor in supporting the increase in production and productivity of farming. Not only do extension workers serve as a link between sources of agricultural technology and farmers, but they also have the responsibility to convey information, improve skills, provide solutions to field problems, and encourage the application of appropriate technology. Farmers' perceptions of agricultural extension workers are influenced by several factors, such as the level of trust in the extension workers' competence, the quality of the communication established, and the relevance of the information provided. This research aims to: (1) determine the role of agricultural extension workers in increasing the production and productivity of lowland rice farming in Sidera Village, Sigi Kota Sub-District, Sigi Regency; and (2) analyse farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers in increasing that production and productivity. The results show that the role of agricultural extension workers in increasing lowland rice production and productivity in Sidera Village, Sigi Kota Sub-District, Sigi Regency was evaluated across four indicator elements: the extension workers' role in disseminating information, their role in improving farmers' skills, their role in providing solutions to farmers' problems, and their role in increasing lowland rice production and productivity. The overall average score achieved was 3.96 or 99%, which indicates that extension workers play a very significant role in supporting the increase of lowland rice production and productivity in the area. Farmers' perceptions of the role of agricultural extension workers in increasing lowland rice production and productivity in Sidera Village, Sigi Kota Sub-District, Sigi Regency show a maximum score achievement of >84-100, which is classified as strongly agree (96%) with an average score of 4.81.
