Decrease quality of Agricultural Production in Indonesia
The condition of agriculture in Indonesia is very different if
compared with other countries. This
can be seen from the decrease quality of agricultural impact on
agricultural production. The
factors that cause these problems include the lack of good
quality seeds, bad quality of farmers
and increase agricultural pests.
Quality seeds are very influential in the production of good
results. As recommended by the
government and also recommended the cultivation of good
technology, it is advisable to use
seeds that come from certified seed as certified seed guarantees
the authenticity or purity of the
varieties, the growing power of good, and lifetime (expired
product) is known with certainty to
be more reliable . However, in reality farmers still use seed
with low quality. For example,
farmers still use seed potatoes granola G4 on imports into
Indonesia. The seeds were then
planted and sorted to obtain a new seed with low quality
compared to the previous quality. The
result, farmers producing potatoes of poor quality.
The quality or the ability of farmers also affects the quality
of agricultural production, farmers
must have the ability to be able to regulate the planting
strategy or the other, because sometimes
farmers have their own expertise in dealing with the dynamics of
nature that are not thought out
in advance the impact. For example, a farmer growing rice, of
course in his mind thought, what
if suddenly appeared rats and aphis attack, so the farmer took
the initiative to spray pesticides to
exceed the dose is determined. This is to reduce the risk of
pest attacks, but unfortunately did not
pay attention to environmental aspects and impacts of
contamination or poisoning by pesticides.
