Metode Pembuatan Guludan Secara Mekanis denganTenaga Penggerak Traktor Dua Roda untuk Budidaya Tanaman Sayuran
Abstract: The objective of
this study was to determine the best tillage method for making planting beds
for vegetables cultivation using a two-wheel type tractor. Five tillage methods
using a two-wheel type tractor with its equipments were tested and evaluated in
this study. The methods which were tested were: 1) plowing using a reversible
type plow, followed by ridging using a ridger and fnished by harrowing using a rotary
tiller (B-F-G 1 method) ; 2) plowing, followed by harrowing and fnished by
ridging (B-G-F method); 3) plowing, followed by harrowing followed by ridging
and fnished by 2nd harrowing (B-G-F-G method); 4) plowing, followed by 40 cm
width of harrowing and fnished by ridging (B-G-F 2 method); and 5) plowing, followed
by 40 cm width of harrowing and fnished by ridging with 40 cm tractor
wheel-base (B-G-F 3 method). The experiments were conducted on several plots of
dry land. The results of the experiments showed that the B-G-F 3 method
produced the best planting bed form, an appropriate bed size and a better soil
condition for vegetables cultivation. The feld capacity of this method was 74
m2/hour and was the highest capacity among the fve methods.
