| dc.description.abstract | The demand of corn especially for the feed still increase every year. Government used import strategy to fulfill the national demand. The one effort that can be taken is increasing national corn production through application several technologies. One technology to increase the corn production is using low land rice as a field to developing corn with improving Index Pattern (IP). In Southeast Sulawesi, this technology still not familiar, but its potential is large to drive the growth of the national corn production. The assessment was conducted using two methods: field study and survey methods. Assessment form field trials on paddy fields for planting corn with the pattern: rice - sweet corn - corn for feed (pattern 1). As for the pattern: sweet corn - sweet corn - sweet corn (pattern 2) and rice pattern: Rice - Rice (pattern 3) conducted by survey, this is because these pattern has been familiar at the farm level. The results of the study showed that increasing IP in low land rice using corn has good potential to be developed. Cropping pattern - sweet corn - sweet corn - corn feed gives highest revenue IDR 24,885,200/ha/year. While cropping pattern sweet corn - sweet corn - sweet corn - sweet corn can provide a total revenue of IDR 21,816,000/ha/year. Both cropping pattern with the IP 400% providing much higher revenues than in the existing cropping pattern rice - rice – fallow which provides revenue only IDR 9,640,000/ha/year. Increased IP by entering the feed corn as one of the options on the cropping pattern of rice - sweet corn - sweet corn - corn feed, can increasing farmers’ revenues, while also able to maintain the stability of sweet corn that is often over-supply. | |
