Abstract

The study aimed to determine the adoption level of Inpara 3 and Inpari 34 varieties in swamps. The study was carried out in the swampland areas of Makmur Jaya Village, Betara District, West Tanjung Jabung, Jambi Province, from January to August 2019. The sample size was 40 cooperative farmers under the "Surya Gemilang" farmer group, which randomly selected within Makmur Jaya village, Betara District. Data were analyzed descriptively both qualitatively and quantitatively with scoring techniques. The results showed that the level of farmers’ knowledge of the Inpara 3 and Inpari 34 varieties adoption was high, about 84.3% and 71.3%, respectively. In contrast, the farmers' decisiveness towards the innovation of the two varieties were included in the approved category. The Inpara 3 and Inpari 34 varieties are efficient enough to be developed in these swamps. Inpara 3 variety is preferable because of its adaptability in swamps, its resistance to pests and diseases, and the high number of tillers and high productivity. Whereas the Inpari 34 variety is also preferable because of its adaptability in swamps, its resistance to pests and diseases, the grain shape, and the texture/taste of rice. Increasing adoption of Inpara 3 and Inpari 34 varieties can be done through increasing dissemination and supporting seed preservation to support their rice development program in the swamps area.
