Analisis Konsistensi Penerapan PSPSP (Panen Sering, Pemangkasan, Sanitasi, Pemupukan) dan Rehabilitasi Kebun, Terhadap Potensi Peningkatan Produksi Kakao di Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara

Abstract

This research was intended to analyze the consistency of PsPSP practices application and garden rehabilitation on the potential of increasing cocoa production in Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara. This research is quantitative descriptive with case study approach. Determination of the sample using the purposive sampling method, based on the characteristics and criteria that are tailored to the purpose of the study. There are 70 cocoa farmers as samples, from 10 cocoa-producing districts in Aceh Tenggara. Farmer consistency level is measured using a semantic differential scale, to determine the extent of the consistency and regularity of farmers in the practice of the technical application. The data in this study were sourced from farmers and researchers' direct observation (primary data). Data were analyzed descriptively and tested using multiple linear regression method to see the relationship and influence between the dependent variable with each independent variable using SPSS 25 software. The results of the study concluded ; (1) Coefficient of determination is 0.815, it means that frequent harvesting consistency variable (X1), pruning consistency (X2), sanitation consistency (X3), fertilization consistency (X4) and garden rehabilitation consistency (X5) is able to explain the variability on the potential for increased production variable (Y) of 81.5 %, while the remaining 18.5 % explained by other variables that not included in the regression model. (2) F test results show a value of 56,440 > F table value (2.37), it means that simultaneously at a 95 % confidence level, all independent variables (X1, X2, X3, X4 and X5), have a significant effect on the dependent variable (Y). (3) T test results show that at the 95 % confidence level, the consistency of pruning (X2), and the consistency of garden rehabilitation (X5), have a significant effect on the potential for increased production (Y), while the consistency of frequent harvesting (X1), consistency in the application of sanitation (X3), and consistency of fertilization (X4) do not significantly influence the potential for increased production (Y).
