Metode Optimum Pengoperasian Untuk Peningkatan Kerja Alat Penyemai Benih Padi Pada Sistem Dapog

Abstract

EVI TRI ULINA BR GINTING: Optimum Method for Increasing Rice Seed Seeder performance on Dapog System, supervised by TAUFIK RIZALDI and RISWANTI SIGALINGGING. Various technologies have been developed to increase production, superior varieties of rice and also technology of rice cultivation. The optimum method in the dapog rice seed seeding equipment is a way to improve its work that have the function of rice seeds seeding that grow into superior rice seedlings using tray/box applications. The objective of this research was to optimize rotation speed and growth media planting mechanism. This research used method of optimizing the rotation speed of rationing, plant growth mediumening mechanism, and modification of tray/box on seed sowing. The parameters observed were the effective capacity of the equipment, the need for electrical power and the percentage of growth power. The results showed that the average effective capacity after modification of the dapog seed rice seeding was 288 boxes/hour. Requirement of electric power was 209.3 watts. The average number of intact seeds was 935 grains, the average of damaged seeds was 50 grains and the average seed loss was 15 grains. Percentage of damaged seeds was 6.5% and number of seeds growth was 91% and 2.5% of other factors.
