ABSTRACT
Bantul Regency is one of the center of shallots in Indonesia, but its productivity is low. In
2015, the productivity of shallots in Bantul Regency was 7.66 tons/ha. The application of Good
Agriculture Practices (GAP) is a form of technology adoption aiming to improve the shallot
productivity.The purposes of this study are to determine the level of application of shallots
GAP in Bantul Regency and to find out the factors influencing the application such as land area,
farmers’ age, farmers’ education, farming experience, availability of farm inputs, and extension

service frequency. Purposive technique was used to determine the research location. Sanden and
Kretek districts were discovered since these areas are the production centers of shallots in Bantul
Regency. The study involved the respondents consisting of sixty shallot farmers, thirty people
from Kretek District and the other thirty people from Sanden District who were determined by
simple random sampling. This research used scoring technique with Likert scale to measure the
application level of GAP. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to understand the factors
affecting the application of GAP of shallots. Result showed that the application of GAP of shallots
in Bantul Regency is low. The factors of land area, farmers’ education, farming experience, and
availability of farm inputs means influence the application level of GAP of shallots significantly.

INTISARI
Kabupaten Bantul merupakan salah satu sentra bawang merah di Indonesia, tetapi
produktivitasnya masih rendah. Tahun 2015, produktivitas bawang merah di Kabupaten
Bantul sebesar 7,66 ton/ha. Penerapan Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) merupakan salah
satu bentuk adopsi teknologi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas bawang
merah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat penerapan GAP bawang
merah di Kabupaten Bantul dan mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penerapannya
diantaranya luas lahan, umur petani, pendidikan petani, pengalaman usahatani, ketersediaan
sarana produksi, dan frekuensi penyuluhan. Pemilihan lokasi penelitian dilakukan dengan
teknik purposive. Kecamatan Sanden dan Kretek dipilih karena merupakan sentra produksi

bawang merah di Kabupaten Bantul. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 60 orang petani sampel
bawang merah, 30 orang dari Kecamatan Kretek dan 30 orang dari Kecamatan Sanden yang
dipilih secara acak sederhana. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik skoring dengan skala likert
untuk mengukur tingkat penerapan GAP. Analisis regresi linear berganda digunakan untuk

mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penerapan GAP bawang merah. Dari hasil
penelitian diketahui bahwa tingkat penerapan GAP bawang merah di Kabupaten Bantul
rendah. Faktor luas lahan, pendidikan petani, pengalaman usahatani, dan ketersediaan
sarana produksi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap tingkat penerapan GAP bawang merah.

Determination Test (Adjusted R2)

variables that influenced it in the following

The results of data processing factors
influencing the application of GAP of
shallots in Bantul Regency showed that
correlation coefficient value (adjusted R2)
was 0.553. The value of adjusted R2 shown
in this study was quite good because the
correlation between the dependent variable
and the independent variable was called

equation:
Y = 1.652 + 0.058 x1 + 0.122 x3 + 0.045
x4 + 0.944 x5
Simultaneous Test
After the simultaneous test of the
factors affecting the level of GAPapplication,

strong if the value of adjusted R2 was above

it can be said that together the factors of land

0.5. The result of adjusted R2 test in this

area, farmers’ age, farmers’ education level,

research stated that the model used was able

farming experience, availability of farm
inputs, and extension service frequency
