Analisis Hambatan Adopsi dan Persepsi Petani Padi terhadap Inovasi Teknologi Drone Sprayer di Kecamatan Jetis
Analysis of Adoption Barriers and Rice Farmers' Perceptions Regarding Drone Sprayer Technology Innovation in Jetis District
Abstract
Modernisasi pertanian melalui teknologi smart precision farming diharapkan mampu mendongkrak efisiensi budidaya, namun tingkat adopsinya di kalangan petani lokal masih menghadapi tantangan nyata. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hambatan adopsi dan persepsi petani padi terhadap inovasi teknologi drone sprayer melalui Program Makmur di Kecamatan Jetis, Kabupaten Bantul. Pengumpulan data dilakukan selama kegiatan magang Taruna Makmur Batch 7 pada Juli–Desember 2025 menggunakan metode campuran (mixed methods) meliputi observasi partisipatif, kuesioner skala Likert 1–5, dan wawancara mendalam terhadap 30 responden anggota Kelompok Tani Ngudi Raharjo di Desa Canden yang dipilih secara purposive sampling berdasarkan keaktifan kelompok dan pengalaman bertani minimal tiga tahun, dengan uji coba pada lahan seluas 3 hektar milik petani kunci. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan drone sprayer melalui sistem Petrospring memberikan dampak tekno-ekonomi signifikan, yaitu meningkatkan efisiensi waktu kerja sebesar 88,89% (dari 9 hari menjadi 1 hari) serta mereduksi biaya operasional sebesar 16,67% (dari Rp300.000 menjadi Rp250.000 per hektar) dengan sebaran cairan agen hayati yang lebih merata. Meskipun demikian, persepsi dan minat sebagian besar petani terhadap teknologi ini masih rendah akibat kepemilikan lahan sempit, keterbatasan modal mandiri, dan minimnya pemahaman operasional. Skor rata-rata persepsi manfaat mencapai 3,8/5,0, persepsi kemudahan penggunaan 2,6/5,0, dan minat adopsi mandiri 2,4/5,0. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa teknologi drone sprayer terbukti meningkatkan efisiensi usaha tani padi, namun keberlanjutan adopsinya memerlukan pendampingan sosio-teknis intensif dan fasilitasi skema pembiayaan terjangkau bagi petani skala kecil.
