Pengelolaan dan Distribusi Produksi Benih Sumber Padi di Sumatera Selatan

Abstract

Superior varieties are one of the technologies that play an important role in increasing the quantity and quality of agricultural products. The real contribution of superior varieties to the increase in national rice production is reflected in, among other things, the achievement of rice self-sufficiency in 1984. This is related to the properties possessed by superior rice varieties, including high yield, resistance to pests and major diseases, early maturity suitably developed in certain cropping patterns, and the taste of rice is delicious (fluffier) with relatively high protein levels. The purpose of this activity is increasing the production, quality and distribution of source seeds (staple seeds, scattered seeds) of rice to ensure availability in accordance with user needs, 2) Accelerating the development of superior varieties that are able to increase production, productivity and quality and realize the development of seed and production systems paddy 3) Strengthen seed institutions to ensure seed distribution goes quickly and precisely, and 4) Support efforts to provide quality assisted seeds for farmers. Source seed production activities carried out from January to December 2016 on irrigated paddy fields in East Ogan Komering Ulu District For Unit Processing Centers placed at Kayuagung Experimental Garden. Technically, the timing of field activities adjusts to field conditions. Production of FS, and SS grade rice seedlings using Inpari 22, Inpari 27, Inpari 28, Inpari 29 varieties, with a planting area of 10 hectares. Data collected includes growth and yield performance data. Furthermore the data that has been collected is tabulated and analyzed (quantitatively). The final result of the multiplication of seeds planted in the irrigation area produced certified tons of dry milled rice, consisting of Inpari 27 (FS) varieties of 1270 kg, Inpari 28 (FS) 1680 kg), Inpari 29 (FS) 2160 kg,1600 kg) and Inpari 28 (SS) 1965 kg, and Inpari 22 (SS) 16,035 kg.
