EFISIENSI PRODUKSI WORTEL DI DESA TULUNGREJO KECAMATAN BUMIAJI KOTA BATU

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze efficiency of carrot (Daucus carota L.) production in Tulungrejo Village. The village is one of the carrot production centers in Batu City which administratively belongs to the Batu District area. Data collection was carried out through interviews with 30 farmers. Data that has been collected in the field, first edited, then tabulated and analyzed with Cobb-Douglas production function. Production function used is an appropriate model because the coefficient of determination is close to one and meets requirements of classical assumption test (normal spread data, no multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity). The results showed that area of land, seeds, manure, urea and urea fertilizer had a significant and positive effect on carrot production, while TSP fertilizer, labor and pesticides had no significant effect. In addition, all of input use by carrot farmers in Tulungrejo Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City is not economically efficient. It becomes a guideline for carrot farmers to evaluate the use of inputs for optimal production .
