is a result of breeding done by local farmers Karanganyar. This variety of rice seeds has been tested in Karanganyar on 4 ha of land by 2013. The field trials are capable of achieving 13.76 tonnes per hectare. Characteristics of IF8 varieties of rice, among others: ± 125 days old, upright plant shape, plant height ± 120 cm, vertical leaves, medium loss, sticky texture of rice, average yield 13-14 tons / ha GKG, and not favored rats and sparrow (Fadila 2015).
In Kabupaten Karanganyar, the seeds planted with IF8 (IF Indonesian Farmer) varieties are the work of small farmers themselves, not seeds by academics and researchers. The cultivation is also not small scale and tile for research, but the field scale of 4 ha and harvest witnessed by the vice regent and the Karanganyar office.
"There is the experience of our small farmers who propose the release of varieties, where the total cost they have to spend Rp 1.4 billion, which is through the procedure of release of varieties conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) until the release of marketing permit," he said.
This is what we can tell.
Thank you and so much.
