Abstract

The effect of climate change on the productivity of horticultural commodities is very large. So that the formulation of the problem taken in this study is: What are the known and experienced climate change phenomena and the obstacles faced by farmers in the horticulture subsector in Probolinggo. What are the adaptation efforts to climate change and the factors that influence adaptation efforts carried out by farmers in the horticulture subsector in Probolinggo. This research was conducted in Ngadisari Village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency. The analytical method used in this research is descriptive analysis with data tabulation, score and coding, and logistic regression method. The results showed that the phenomenon of climate change felt by farmers was the early rainy season, and the intensity of rainfall and the number of rainy days increased. Adaptations that are mostly carried out by farmers to overcome climate change are the use of intensive fertilizers, the use of pest and disease resistant varieties, the use of rain and drought resistant varieties, the use of chemical pesticides, increasing the intensity of weeding, the use of seeds from propagation, planting of reinforcing plants, intercropping/ intercropping. rotation, changes in planting time, application of recommended spacing, handling of crop yields by minimizing weight loss. The obstacles faced by farmers in adapting to climate change are the lack of knowledge and information related to climate change and limited capital. A significant factor influencing farmers' decision in adapting is the broad of the land. The wider the area of land owned by horticultural farmers, the lower the chances of farmers adapting to climate change with a high category of 68.2%.
