Indonesian Agricultural Research Abstracts Vol. 25, No. 2, 2008The adoption of transgenic cotton introduced since 2000 in seven regencies of South Sulawesi need to beevaluated. The objective of study was to analyze factors influencing the adoption of transgenic cotton bythe farmers in the introduction area. The research frame used is sustainability of adoption which dependon characteristics of subjects and innovation, and physical and social environment. Criteria used todetermine research area were distribution and coverage of transgenic cotton farms, distribution pattern ofrainfall, and harvest time. The area chosen were Regency of Bantaeng, Takalar, Gowa, and Bulukumba.The sampling method used was simple random sampling, since the population was relatively homogen.The results of the analysis indicated that more than 50% of the farmers had a change to stop adopting thetransgenic cotton. It happened because the farmers were uncapable to take the risk of transgenic cottonfarming which was very high, while the income from this farming was not stable. Howewer, the adoptionof transgenic cotton is potential in the area where the climate is suitable and compatible with the seasonsand existing farming system.E16PRODUCTION ECONOMICS156 SAHARA, D.Pengaruh faktor produksi pada usaha tani lada di Sulawesi Tenggara: Kasus integrasi lada-ternak diKecamatan Landono, Kabupaten Kendari.

The objective was to assess theinfluence of some production factors on pepper farming by using survey and participatory appraisal.Structured interviews involved 31 farmers, i.e., 14 farmers implemented integration farming of pepper andgoat, and 17 farmers conducted pepper monoculture farming. Data were analysed using ordinary leastsquare regression. Results of the study indicated that pepper yielded by integrated farming andmonoculture practice for the first year of production were significantly different. Expanding planted areawas the main way of increasing yield on integrated farming. On the other hand, pepper yield of farmerspractice could be improved through manure application. Labor increase will also expand pepper yield.E20 ORGANIZATION, ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF AGRICULTURALENTERPRISES OR FARMS157 DAMANIK, S.Kajian usaha tani akar wangi rakyat berwawasan konservasi di Kabupaten Garut.

The primary data were collected through theinterview of 120 vetiver farmers and 22 vetiver oil processors, and from 3 hectares field trial. The studyused a randomized block design with 3 cropping patterns and two replications. Parameters observed wereroot weight, oil content, erosion level, productivity level, and economic feasibility. The research resultindicated that conservation pattern produced higher root weight, conservation pattern 0.74 kg, farmerpattern 0.60 kg and introduction pattern 0.50 kg. Result of oil analyses showed that the oil content of97
