Paddy-fish cultivation within an integrated farming system

Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to determine the growth and production of rice and fish on the integrated paddy-fish farming system known as Minapadi. This research was in form of an experiment based on a two-factor factorial design arranged as randomized group design. The first factor was the planting system consisting of 3 levels: Tegel planting (conventional traditional system), Legowo Tapin (transplanted seedlings), Legowo Tabela (direct seed planting), and the second factor was the population density of Nile Tilapia which consisted of 3 levels, namely: 27, 54, and 80 fish population. The results showed that rice production has the highest average in the legowo tapin planting system (5.05 tons/ha). This system was the best planting system by achieving best results on several other parameters such as plant height at 60 DAT (42.90 cm), the number of productive tillers (13.27), the weight of clumps (39.96 g), the weight of 1000 grains (25.58 g) and the weight of grain per plot (4.81 kg). Whereas the legowo Tabela planting system was the best treatment for the average value of the panicle length growth parameters (22.19 cm), grain weight per clump (38.76 g) and fish weight per plot (12.05 kg). While the Tegel system gave the lowest level of fish mortality (1.42%).
