Abstract

The agro-climatic challenges of red chili farming on coastal land require farmers to use production factors that are better in quantity and quality. The risks faced by farmers on sandy land include low levels of nutrients in the land, strong winds that cause plants to easily collapse, porous characteristics of the land, so it requires more water than paddy fields. The irrigation system is important to anticipate optimal watering. This research aims to determine the factors that influence the production and risk of red chili production, as well as determine the relationship between the use of these factors on the production and risk of red chili production using a shower irrigation system on coastal land in Panjatan District, Yogyakarta. Respondents were taken using the census method with a total of 50 farmers. The analysis uses a Cobb-Douglass type production function model based on Just and Pope. The results of the research show that the factors that influence red chili production on coastal sand land with a shower irrigation system are land area, seeds, liquid insecticide and solid fungicide. The factors that influence the risk of red chili production are phonska, liquid herbicide, labor and irrigation fuel costs.
