Production risk of peanut farming in dry landsecond pattern after corn with biocharon blitar district, indonesia

Abstract

The reduction in land due to the transfer of functions from agriculture to non-Agriculture, requires stakeholders to intensify the management of dry land and infertile land which was not originally a priority. Therefore, every opportunity for adaptive technology development needs to be utilized as well as possible to encourage increased productivity. This study aims to determine the impact of the use of biochar used in the first cropping maize farming on production and risk of production of the second cropping peanut farming in dry land. The study uses a basic survey method, by determining the location by purposife. The number of samples was 150 people determined by the proportional random sampling method. The data analysis method uses the production function model and the production risk function using the Cobb-Douglass ordinary least square (OLS) method. The results found that the use of biochar in the first cropping maize farming had an impact on the production and risk of the second cropping pattern of peanut production. As a comparison, the factors of production in peanut farming which previously had the effect of reducing production; in the second cropping pattern after maize had an effect on increasing production and reducing production risks include seeds, phosphor fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, pesticide, and labor in the family. Only workers outside the family have the effect of reducing production and increasing risk.
