AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS IN REGIONAL PROBOLINGGO

In the area of Probolinggo can be encountered with the system of rice cultivation legowo parallelogram. Legowo parallelogram system is a rice-planting arranged in such a way with alley or open space that is wide enough.
Rice cultivation legowo parallelogram system is one of the new breakthrough to improve agricultural productivity, especially rice. because if higher agricultural productivity, so food security would then be maintained.
One key to the success of improving agricultural productivity can be achieved through the use of seeds, legowo row spacing, and additional nutritional supplements to the plant.


1. The first step:that must be considered in planting rice with this method is the processing of land. Treatment is aimed crumbly soil and improving soil structure and remove weeds.

2. The next step is the selection of quality seed. Before planting, sowing the first seed on land
That had been prepared. Sowing seeds that will first soaked for 24 hours.

3. Subsequently the seeds are curing for 24 hours. Only after that the seeds are distributed
in the seedbed After reaching the age of 30 days, which has been sowing the seeds removed and ready for planting. seeds were planted with spacing width 35 cm, 20 cm and 35 cm.While length is planted with a distance of 12.5 cm. Spacing arrangement is closely related to soil fertility levels and types of varieties to be planted.

In rice cultivation this legowo parallelogram system, fertilizing should be noted properly. Plants should be fertilized at planting time. Furthermore, fertilization performed 10 days after planting, 21 days and 35 days. Balanced fertilization is intended to increase the supply of nutrients, so plants will be sufficient nutrients to grow / develop and produce well.

Another thing to consider is water. Regulating the level of water use for paddy farming should use intermittent irrigation method. Manage the irrigation is done by timing of water and drying time.
When 95 days old, can already be harvested rice. After rice is harvested to avoid the accumulation of rice paddy fields to a few days to reduce yield losses and grain damage.
Compared with the normal planting system, the application of this method is able to increase agricultural productivity and enhance food security.
