Minapadi productivity with a combination of legowo technology and local fish

Abstract

Minapadi is a fish rearing system in rice fields that is carried out with rice plants. This study aims to increase the income of farmers with high productivity of rice yields and increase the production of endemic fish. The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experiment with four treatments and 3 replications. PThe treatments are: A1B1 (Legowo 2:1 and giant prawns), A1B2 (legowo 2:1 and fish serukan), A2B1 (legowo 4:1 and giant prawns), and A2B2 (legowo 4:1 and fish serukan). This research was conducted for 90 days in the rice fields of Lango Village, Pante Ceureumen District, West Aceh Regency. Parameters observed were rice productivity, fish growth and business analysis.The results showed that the best treatment was A1B1 (4:1 legowo and giant prawns) with generate value rice productivity average as big as 5 kg/plot, and the average value of the growth of giant prawns is 3.62 g/head and fish serukan is 37.17 g/head. From the results of this study, the application of the Minapadi system with giant prawns and fish with legowo 4:1 gave a positive impact on the observed parameters (P<0.05), annd provide benefits to farmers.
