Identification of Rice Farming Conditions in Wonotirto Village, Samboja District

Identifikasi Kondisi Pertanian Padi di Kelurahan Wonotirto, Kecamatan Samboja

Abstract

Wonotirto Village has rice farming potential supported by active farmer groups, but data on agricultural land, planting seasons, harvest yields, and cultivation constraints have not been systematically documented. This community service activity aimed to identify rice farming conditions as baseline data to support agricultural monitoring and management. The activity involved coordination with the Samboja Agricultural Extension Center, interviews with two farmer groups, and agricultural land data collection. The results show that rice farming remains active but faces irrigation constraints, pest attacks, land-use conversion, and sediment deposits suspected to be associated with mining activities. Some data on planting seasons and harvest yields remain estimates due to the absence of routine agricultural records. The activity produced baseline information to support agricultural monitoring and planning in Wonotirto Village. Regular data updating is needed to improve the availability of consistent agricultural information.
