RICE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE
1. Pertanian SRI Organic Rice in the concept of Integrated Agricultural SystemsThe threat of food crisis sweeping the world, not immune to the country of Indonesia. As a staple food of the people of Indonesia, but it's ironic fertile prosperous this country has now become the number one rice importer in the world. It would be more concern if the producers see life this rice farmers who form the bulk of the poor country and the fertile earth is rich.When this fact is not in choice of profession. Because of the high cost of production, the price of in-organic fertilizers and pesticides, supplemented with low productivity and grain prices led to farming is not an economic activity again. However, farmers have resigned and discouraged by the condition of agriculture and to sustain the lives of many farmers who are looking for a side business in big cities such as with a towing beca, a digger and a variety of other professions laborer during the harvest period of waiting is not too their expect more and the results just enough to eat themselves and their families.Farming for them as if it just becomes a habit as it has been revealed ancestors and can not be expected to be back alive again. Coupled with unawareness of farmers to the dangers that threaten the health of himself, his family and the users around the production environment, including soil and water due to residual chemicals are inhaled while spraying, soil and remained absorbed in drinking water and food agricultural products. Surely this is not purely the fault of our farmers, they can not possibly address all the problems faced in agriculture without the assistance and cooperation of the parties who are competent to provide the solution and the correct solution to the problems faced.
2. SRI-Organic Alternative For InnovationNatural conditions, weather and culture in Indonesia is supporting the agricultural sector because Indonesia is a land very fertile and productive that is suitable for agriculture continue to be developed. However, efforts to increase production through the intensification of the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers make the soil conditions resulted in lower levels of fertility decline in production output. To overcome the farmers working on this by increasing production costs such as increased use of the quantity and quality of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides / insecticides. At first the incremental cost of production can be increased to provide agricultural products, but for the next level of production again decreased.
Therefore teroboson innovative efforts to restore soil fertility and productivity back to do. At this time there is hope for the best solution for agriculture in Indonesia results in increased production of the pattern of agriculture by the method SRI-Organic.Methods inimenekankan on the improvement of the soil as a medium for plant growth and nutrient sources. Through this system, soil fertility restored so haur-ecological cycle can take back with good soil microorganisms using the product as metabolites for plant nutrition. Through this method, the environment is expected to remain well preserved, as well as the extent of human health with the use of chemicals for agriculture.
SRI-Organic 3.Mengapa ....???SRI paddy farming (rice organic / organic rice), this method is a combination of SRI (System of Rice Intensification) were first developed in Madagascar, the farm was developed denganbeberapa organik.Metode basic principles:
a. Organic fertilizerb. The increase in the growth of plant rootsc. Use single seeds without soaking the rice fields.Selection of development Organic SRI paddy cropping pattern to produce organic rice (organic rice) are also included as a healthy rice (rice healthy) based on the following considerations:
A. Environmental aspects are well with the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and use less water (not soaked) resulting savings in water usage.
B. Aspects of good health is not tertinggalnya chemical residues in paddy / rice is a result of fertilizer / pesticides also sustained health of the farmers due to avoid inhaling toxic fumes from chemical pesticides.
C. Higher productivity as a result of the application of the principles of SRI cultivation. For land that has started to recover soil fertility and ecosystem fields, the results obtained can reach more than 10 tons / hectare from a single seed can produce up to more than 100 tillers (panicles).
D. A high quality, organic rice (organic rice) which is also a healthy rice (rice healthy) than does not contain chemical residues are also safe for consumption by people with diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and several other diseases.
Main 4.Prinsip SRI:1.Penanaman young seedlings 8 days after germination2.Jarak planting width (minimum 25cm x 25 cm, 1 seed per point)3.Menghindari trauma to the seed at planting rice in shallow 4.Penanaman5.Manajemen Water (Soil irrigated with well maintained, not continuously soaked.)6.Meningkatkan soil aeration with mechanical hijacking7.Menjaga biological balance of the soil (Organic Fertilizer and Pesticide Use
At first method is quite successful meskiun with high production costs, but in the long term production and decrease soil become damaged. The main difference is: SRI only changed the way farmers manage plants, soil, water and nutrients. These changes reduce water use and production costs and lead to an increase in factor productivity and income of farmers. This advantage results from an increase in the growth of the root system, and increase the abundance and diversity of soil organisms, which in turn contribute to the productivity of crops.
