Direct seeding (Tabela) and fish farming (Minapadi), traditional methods used for producepaddy plantation and animal proteins for sustainable food security in Northern Sumatra weredone. This study was conducted using a combination of methods to the study of literature(data collectively in USU Library and library of USM) and observations in the fields (lowlandand terrace from Langkat district and Smalungun district were conducted since December2016 to March 2017. As much as two types of rice crops (Ciherang and IR 64) are cultivatedshowed the status (prey and predator) of insects in Langkat and Simalungun districtsrespectively. Direct Seed (Tabela) in Langkat agroecosystems applied to irrigated rice, rainfed andtidal land is an alternative model of technology and integrated crop management approach isenvironmentally friendly. Besides, fish farming (Minapadi) was done in Simalungun districtconsumed by the family farmers and partly as sold as additional revenue. The problems areidentified from Tabela and Minapadi farmers in Langkat and Simalungun, consist of technologyadvice is difficult; do not answer problems; innovation technology creates new problems forfarmers due to lack of appropriate with the socio-economic-culture;application of technology requires a high cost while remuneration derived less adequate;systems and counseling strategies are still weak so not able to convey the message properly;indifference farmers to offer new technologies; the existence of uncertainty in control ofresources. Food security system with integrated farming through seeded fields and fish farmingthe concept on three of the management, such as integrated crop management, integrated pestmanagement and integrated nutrient management based on local knowledge should be cultivatedand preserved in Indonesia. The importance of communication, improve interpretation andknowledge of paddy farmers, the adoption of technology and infrastructure empowerment inagriculture, especially in North of Sumatera was increasing the productivity of rice farmers inNorthern Sumatra.

<p>The integrated crop management approach on rice is aimed to increase the productivity on fields with the constraint of limited land area. This present research was aimed to analyze<br />the impact of the implementation of integrated crop management to grain yield and its efficiency on the lowland farming. The study was conducted in three districts representing the lowland rice production center in Bali, i.e. Tabanan, Buleleng and Gianyar, involving 216 respondents, over two cropping seasons. Sampling of the respondents was using stratified simple random method. Data were analyzed using a stochastic frontier production function with the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method. The results showed that the aggregate of rice production was affected by land area, amount of seeds, N fertilizer, organic fertilizer, pesticides, labor and age of seedling. Rice yield was higher in the dry season applying legowo planting pattern, followed by intermittent irrigations, IPM and planting varieties other than IR64. Technically, both ICMFS alumni farmers and non ICM-FS alumni were considered efficient, with an efficiency rate of more than 70 percent, but only<br />ICM-FS alumni farmers allocated the inputs efficiently, and therefore economically move efficient. Socio economic factors which were significantly affected the aggregate technical<br />inefficiencies were age of farmers, level of education, farming experiences, and the number of land plots. Technical inefficiency of the lowland rice farming was lower when ICM-FS alumni farmers work on their own lands.</p>

<p>Water and fertilizer scarcity amid the increasing need of rice production challenges today’s agriculture. Integrated crop management (ICM) is a combination of water, crop, and nutrient management that optimizes the synergistic interaction of these components aiming at improving resource use efficiency, i.e. high productivity of water, land, and labor. The objectives of the study were to investigate the effects of crop establishment method, organic matter amendment, NPK management, and water management on yield of lowland rice. Five series of experiments were conducted at Sukamandi and Kuningan Experimental Stations, West Java. The first experiment was focused on crop establishment method, i.e. plant spacing and number of seedlings per hill. The second, third, and fourth experiments were directed to study the effect of NPK and organic matter applications on rice yield. The fifth experiments was designed to evaluate the effect of water management on rice yield. Results showed that 20 cm x 20 cm plant spacing resulted in the highest grain yield for the new plant type rice varieties. Organic matter and P fertilizer application did not significantly affect grain yield, but the yield response to P fertilization tended to be stronger with organic matter amendment. Split P application did not significantly increase grain yield. The use of a scale 4 leaf color chart reading resulted in a considerable N fertilizer saving without compromising rice yield. Intermittent irrigation technique saved water up to 55% without affecting yields, resulting in a 2-3 times higher water productivity.</p>

Gender inequalities in development programs is problem that still going on. One of program from the government that relate to agricultural development policies and apply the principle of gender mainstreaming is Integrated Crop Management Field School Program (SL-PTT) in rural areas. The general purpose of this research is to analyze the level of gender equality in SL-PTT program, and analyze the relationship between the level of gender equality with success rate of SL-PTT program. This research using quantitative data with survey method using simple random sampling technique and analyzed by cross tabulation and Rank Spearman. This research supported by qualitative data with in-depth interviews. The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between the level of gender equality  and success rate of SL-PTT program.Keywords: gender analysis, gender equality, the success rate of the program================================================ABSTRAKProgram pembangunan yang belum memenuhi adanya kesetaraan gender menjadi permasalahan yang sampai saat ini berlangsung. Salah satu program dari pemerintah yang berkaitan dengan kebijakan pembangunan pertanian yang menerapkan prinsip pengarusutamaan gender adalah program Sekolah Lapang Pengelolaan Tanaman terpadu (SL-PTT) di perdesaan. Tujuan umum penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tingkat kesetaraan gender program SL-PTT, dan menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat kesetaraan gender dengan tingkat keberhasilan program SL-PTT. Penelitian ini menggunakan data kuantitatif dengan metode survei dengan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dianalisis menggunakan tabulasi silang dan Rank Spearman didukung dengan data kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif dan signifikan antara tingkat keterlibatan peserta SL-PTT  dengan tingkat keberhasilan program SL-PTT.Kata Kunci :  Analisis gender, kesetaran gender, keberhasilan program
