Teknologi Pengelolaan Tanaman Pangan Dalam Beradaptasi Terhadap Perubahan Iklim Pada Lahan Sawah

Abstract

. Crop production, especially of rice, corn and soybeans in Indonesia must be continually increased to cope with the negative effects of climate change. Climate change affects crop productivity, planting and harvested areas. The increase in air temperature, changes in rainfall patterns and amount, increase in groundwater salinity, lead to the decrease of crop productivity. The increased frequency and intensity of extreme climate (floods, drought and strong winds), pest and diseases infestation and rising sea levels affect the cropping pattern and harvest index, and reduce harvested area. In line with the National Action Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (RAN-API), Indonesia has developed adaptive technologies of (1) Improved plant varieties tolerant to abiotic stresses, (2) Crop cultivation, (3) Intermittent irrigation technology, and (4) Technology to create a conducive environment for plant growth. Climate change adaptive varieties paired with site-specific farming technologies has been developed into packages of Integrated Crop Management and "jajar legowo super" system. For rice, Integrated Cropping Calendar which can be accessed via the home page (web), short message service (SMS), and Android applications has been developed, as one of the tools to assemble components technologies. Rice Consulting Services has also been available and can be accessed via the internet
